5-lesson self-study course with many recipes and bonus course materials – free preview below!
“Even as someone with an aversion to cooking, I was drawn in by the simplicity of this course combined with the richness of the benefits of Ayurvedic cooking. I found myself more knowledgeable on the science of a healthy life and equipped with new cooking skills!” —JR
Vata dosha is one of the three Ayurvedic principles found in the body and the easiest to upset. Irregular lifestyle, stress, rushing, overwork all contribute to Vata dosha imbalance which can lead to anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, and irregular digestion. Fortunately, Vata dosha is also the easiest of the three doshas to balance.
The main focus of the course is a healthy Ayurvedic diet. We will demonstrate how to cook delicious vegetarian recipes that are designed for the Vata body type including soups, main courses, desserts, breakfast, and drinks.
Course Leaders: Sankari Wegman, PhD and many special guests.
Prerequisites: It is recommended that you complete the Ayurvedic Cooking for Perfect Health course first.
