Perfect Health/Ayurveda

The Perfect Health course offers a five-step exploration of mind-body medicine and Ayurveda. The course is designed for the general public who have had little or no previous understanding of these concepts. Each of the five lessons includes instruction in the practical tools and techniques of mind-body medicine that participants can immediately begin using in their daily lives.

Session One Your Chopra Center–certified Perfect Health instructor will introduce you to the foundational principles of Ayurveda, meditation, and yoga as well as the three primary mind-body doshas or personalities: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Through an in-depth questionnaire and analysis, you’ll discover your own dosha type.

Session Two. In this session on “Food as Medicine,” you will learn how to select the most nourishing foods for your mind-body type. Your instructor will also guide you in Ayurvedic nutritional practices that will help you maintain vibrant health, appropriate weight, and optimized digestion.

Session Three. This session focuses on the tools and practices of rejuvenation and renewal. You’ll learn how to identify and eliminate toxins that accumulate in the mind and body. In addition, you will be guided in gentle rejuvenating practices, holistic techniques to relieve stress and anxiety, a personal daily routine for balance and health, and the secrets of restful sleep.

Session Four. Today you will learn why emotional freedom is the key to our physical, mental, and emotional health. Your instructor will teach you the practice of conscious communication, which can transform your relationships and help you experience more intimacy and joy in your life.

Session Five. The final session delves into the healing power of the five senses: sound, touch, sight, taste, and smell. You’ll learn how to strengthen the body’s inner pharmacy by using specific tools that use each of the senses to heal, nourish, and balance your mind-body.

More about me:

I found my way to the Chopra centre in California in a bit of a round about and rocky way! I first started reading Deepak's books, ten years before I actually signed up for my first seminar, which was Journey into healing October 2006 and all I can say is WOW! You see, although I'd a sizable collection of Deepak's books I never really managed to integrate his teachings into my life - I always put the application of the Ayurvedic principles on the long finger 'I'll start next week' kind of thing and there was all the excuses too - I can't find the time, my workload is too heavy, the kids have the 'flu, I've that business trip to prepare for, I've too many social engagements this week; the list went on. I was rapidly heading towards burn out and I was only in my thirties. So I learned to meditate, and I immediately felt the benefits emotionally & mentally. I integrated Perfect Health principles to my life and felt physically better. Now I want to share that with others. I feel my experience of the business world & the toll stress can take, gives me insight that I can pass on to my students - I've been there, I know what its like to try to juggle a successful career with a home life & family. My approach to teaching this wonderful wisdom is practical, always with a bit of humour and my aim is for my students to leave my workshops armed with powerful information and a thirst and ability to apply to their daily lives, no matter what path they are on.
