Each session is suitable for complete beginners or students who wish to deepen their practice. Ayurveda is India's ancient healthcare system which is so relevant today. We are bombarded with information about diets and foods that are the latest thing to make us healthy. Ayurveda teaches you to understand what is going on in your own body and mind at any given time and what are the best things to balance your own tendencies. Ayurveda gives you the tools to assess what is right for you. At each session you will develop an understanding of your own constitution and the remedies that are best for you. Each session will focus on the influences of the current season and the things you can do to counter its negative effects and make the most of what it offers. You will learn about the effects of different foods and take home some recipes for tasty meals and handy home remedies.

Ashtanga Nelson Intensive with Manju Jois
Wednesday 17th November 2010 - Tuesday 30th November 2010
Stillpoint Yoga - 9 Trafalgar Road - Nelson
COST : TBC

Manju Jois is dedicated to his mission of training teachers in the ancient style of yoga, which combined the asanas, pranayamas, and meditation chants for a mind body spirit unification. The asanas, or postures, are just one component of the ancient style of yoga. Manju is bringing back to yoga the other ancient components that are essential to assist those on the path toward Enlightenment: chants, which help with breathing; meditation, which relaxes the body and mind; and pranayamas, which assist with purification. Manju is honored to pass along all of the traditional components of yoga to his students and student teachers, as he encourages them, "Unite with Yourself."
