the Mentorship Program: Ayurveda
Dive into the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda, the sister science to Yoga. Discover how natural remedies, diet, daily rhythms, and the elements can restore balance to your mind, body, and spirit. Learn to apply these principles to cultivate holistic well-being and Ojas (vitality), creating a grounded and sustainable practice that nurtures overall health and longevity.
Why Study Ayurveda
Ayurveda, the sister science to Yoga and ancient knowledge of life, offers a holistic lens through which to view overall health and well-being. Derived from the Sanskrit words “Ayur” (life) and “Veda” (knowledge), Ayurveda invites us to understand the rhythms of nature both within and around us. It teaches that true wellness is not a fixed state, but a dynamic balance that changes with time, environment, and experience. Rather than treating symptoms alone, Ayurveda offers tools for prevention, harmony, and deeper connection. In the Tara Mitra Yoga Mentorship Program, the study of Ayurveda creates an opportunity to bring greater awareness into your daily life and teaching, fostering practices that support vitality, resilience, and healthier living.
