Ayurveda is one of the oldest holistic health systems in the world, offering a powerful framework for understanding the mind–body connection, emotional patterns, and individual constitution. This course provides a clear, accessible introduction to Ayurvedic theory, with a strong focus on how this wisdom supports emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and compassionate care.

This is a lecture-based course, making it ideal for those who want a deep conceptual understanding without hands-on physical work.

What You’ll Learn

In this full-day course, you will be introduced to the foundational principles of Ayurveda and how they apply to modern wellness, bodywork, and daily life.

Topics include:

  • An overview of Ayurvedic philosophy and origins

  • The three doshas — Vata, Pitta, and Kapha

  • Physical, emotional, and behavioral characteristics of each dosha

  • How doshic imbalance can show up emotionally and physically

  • Understanding individual constitution vs. current state

  • How Ayurveda supports emotional intelligence and empathy

  • How to apply Ayurvedic understanding when working with others

This course emphasizes observation, awareness, and understanding, not diagnosis or treatment protocols.

Why Study Ayurvedic Theory?

Ayurvedic theory helps you:

  • Better understand yourself and others

  • Recognize emotional and energetic patterns

  • Improve communication and relational awareness

  • Support nervous system regulation through understanding, not force

  • Add depth and context to hands-on or wellness work

Because this course is theory-based, it is well-suited for a wide range of people, including massage therapists, wellness practitioners, educators, caregivers, yoga teachers, and anyone interested in holistic health and emotional intelligence.
