ABOUT
Renowned New York based yoga teachers and founders of ISHTA Yoga (www.ishtayoga.com), Alan and Sarah Finger, are in Cape Town for one day only. Join them for an inspiring workshop to deepen your understanding of the chakra system and the science of Ayurveda.Ayurveda and Asana (10.30-13.30)
In the ancient Indian science of Ayurveda, each human being has his or her own unique mixture of the biological forces of life: earth, water, fire, air, and space. This is known as one’s prakriti, or nature. Vrikriti is the condition of these forces as a result of one’s environment and living. When these two states are in conflict, we feel out of balance in ourselves and with the universe. In this workshop, Sarah and Alan will teach you how to create harmony between your prakriti, (or constitution) and your vakriti (or condition) through asana, pranayama and meditation, leaving you in a state of equanimity and love.
