PERFECT HEALTH ~The Chopra Center Ayurvedic Lifestyle Program Ayurveda, the 5,000-year-old healing system from India, provides the foundation for this course which was developed by Drs. Deepak Chopra and David Simon. Derived from the Sanskrit words, ayus, meaning life, and veda, meaning wisdom, Ayurveda, the wisdom of life, offers a proven guide for a life of health, happiness, vitality, love, and purpose.  From an Ayurvedic perspective, human beings are not viewed as mere thinking, physical machines, but rather as fields of intelligence in dynamic exchange with the energy and information of the environment.  Health is therefore a state of vibrant balance in which all of the layers of one’s life are integrated.  This 5-week course provides the tools to enhance your physical and emotional well-being through your conscious choices, enlivening the nourishing connection between body, mind, heart and spirit.   Please join Dr. Joanna Carmichael on this journey to greater awareness and health.
