Ayurveda, a natural system of medicine, originated in India more than 3,000 years ago. The term Ayurveda is derived from the Sanskrit words ayur (life) and veda (science or knowledge). Thus, Ayurveda translates to knowledge of life. Based on the idea that disease is due to an imbalance or stress in a person's consciousness, Ayurveda encourages certain lifestyle interventions and natural therapies to regain a balance between the body, mind, spirit, and the environment.

During this workshop, Sonja Josephson will explore the basics of Ayurvedic philosophy as well as how the Ayurvedic framework can be used to build a customized diet and lifestyle that promotes health and longevity.
