Ayurveda and Yoga for Healthy Weight Loss and Wellness

Strategies for a Lifetime of Healthy Living

Wellness and healthy weight management are best supported by a personalized approach, which the science of Ayurveda can joyfully provide. Whether you consider yourself underweight, overweight, or a yo-yo dieter, Ayurveda's wholesome, harmonizing approach to diet and lifestyle for the doshas will help you find a more comfortable balance.

Join yoga teacher and former Dean of the Kripalu School of Ayurveda, Larissa Hall Carlson, and Ayurvedic Practitioner and Certified Yoga Therapist, Kari Harendorf, for an informative, uplifting, and compassionate approach to the "when, what, and how" of eating to best optimize metabolism, digestion, elimination, and dosha balancing.

Through experiential opportunities, Q&A, lectures and more, learn ancient wellness strategies for modern times, including:

Understand which Ayurvedic diet, lifestyle, and self-care techniques to prioritize for optimal digestion, elimination, metabolism, and energy.
Discover why your current diet and exercise may not be working well for you.
Explore how to gently detox your environment and your body to aid digestion and transformation.
Learn how to best approach a sustainable yoga and movement routine for ongoing body-mind comfort and harmony.
Explore gentle yoga poses, slow dosha balancing sequences, and other soothing practices that will set you up for a lifetime of healthy Ayurvedic living.

The program is designed for anyone interested in incorporating gentle/intermediate yoga and Ayurveda into their wellness practices for healthy weight and wellness. No prior experience is necessary. All are welcome.
