“A strong life force can be seen in physical vitality, courage, competent judgment, self-mastery, sexual vigour, and the realization of each person’s unique talents and purpose in life.”
- Ayurvedic Essential Principles

What is Ayurveda?

This series runs for four weeks and focuses on Ayurveda, a holistic health system that balances the mind, body, and awareness. Ayurveda is based on the belief that underlying energies influence everything, including our bodies and minds. The relationships between the five elements of air, water, fire, earth, and ether in our bodies impact our health and well-being. Ayurveda considers healthy dietary habits, personalized to one’s body constitution, meditation, and yoga as fundamental cornerstones for optimal health. According to Ayurveda, three different body constitutions or doshas may be created when a new being is conceived, which sets us apart.

How does Ayurveda define life-force energy in the body?

Ayurveda is a system that describes three fundamental principles, identifying the different physiological elements of energy and vitality in the human body. Understanding these 3-Energy Types and how they operate in our body teaches us how to master our life force. Unlike in the West, where energy products and foods are usually marketed for everyone, Ayurveda recognizes that each individual’s body is different. Your dosha, or body type, determines how your energy will be depleted or restored. Understanding these 3-Energies and how they relate to your dosha gives us an edge in using Ayurveda for energy.

How does Ayurveda provide an Energy Boost?

According to Ayurveda, mental and physical energy is closely related to your dosha, which is your body constitution. The balance of your dosha affects your energy levels, and when it falls out of sync, it can impact your mental and physical energies. Ayurvedic herbs and practices can help boost energy and keep you feeling your best. To understand your dosha, each person will have the opportunity to take our constitutional questionnaire and learn techniques to track their progress of coming back to balance. Each dosha can sustain and manage physical and mental energy differently. Knowing your dosha can help you better understand and manage your energy levels.
