The word Ayurveda means the science of life. Yoga and Ayurveda are related as sister disciplines. Both are based on deep wisdom and knowledge that were acquired during meditations performed by sages thousands of years ago. A famous Ayurvedic doctor once said: “Ayurveda does not add to years to life, but life to years”.
This course contains the basic theory of ayurveda applicable to everyday life as well as practical learning of basic ayurvedic body care such as oil massage, hair and skin beauty, make-up, ayurvedic cooking…
