Ayurveda-Inspired Yoga
Ayurveda is yoga’s sister-science of holistic health. It is known as the science of life.
Ayurveda-Inspired Yoga is open to all practitioners. It is postural yoga with a purpose.
Ayurvedic-Inspired Yoga is yoga to meet the season we are in. There is a deep connection between the three doshas -vata, pitta, and kapha- that make up every living human and how they relate to the time of year, day, and individual. When you attend an Ayurvedic Inspired Yoga class, you will be learning the connection between the time of year and the type of dosha balancing needed.
Dosha, according to Ayurveda, is 'that which goes out of balance'. Vata, tied to the element of air and space, comprises movement in our body, both physical and mental movement, such as thoughts. Pitta, linked to the fire and water element, is tied to our digestive fire, or agni, and is the foundational dosha for our metabolism. Kapha, represented by the water and earth element, is our overall muscle and body traits, as well as our general constitution.
Ayurvedic Yoga takes into account these three doshas and seeks to bring them into balance using pranayama/breathing practices, seasonally appropriate asana/postural yoga, and contemplative self-inquiry as a way to heal the mind, body, and spirit.

“Eshita is a warm, welcoming teacher of yoga who reaches out to every student and wants to ensure that everyone is having a positive experience. I love her chanting at the beginning of class as well as her knowledge of Ayurveda that helps us move through the different seasons of the year with ease.”
