Benefits to Studying Ayurveda in Yoga Teacher Training

Derived from Sanskrit, Ayurveda, means "the science of life.” It’s known as the sister science to yoga, and is an ancient system of medicine still respected and practiced today. Understanding Ayurveda sets you apart as a yoga teacher and provides valuable insights to share with your clients.  

With Ayurvedic knowledge, yoga teachers become holistic guides. Beyond teaching postures, they can offer insights into lifestyle choices, nutrition and self-care. Our  200-hour yoga teacher training immersion in Sayulita, Mexico, offers yoga teachers a deeper understanding of elemental healing through Ayurveda.

A Framework for Holistic Wellness: Ayurveda and The Doshas

Understanding one’s dosha, or elemental constitution, in Ayurveda can help you and your prospective clients harmonize a yoga practice with healthy lifestyle choices. With an understanding of Ayurveda, yoga teachers can help students achieve overall wellbeing by addressing various aspects of their lives.

I find that my yoga students are always fascinated to learn more about their doshas and it creates a deeper appreciation for their yoga practice. Now as a certified health and life coach and Reiki facilitator, I can pull from all of these qualifications to expand my scope and offer insights into Ayurvedic elemental healing. This helps me to make informed recommendations on diet, daily routines and self-care to promote a more balanced and harmonious lifestyle.
