Dosha & Tongue Assessment Class - WP

Service Description

In this fun 1-hour class, you'll learn about the Ayurvedic doshas, Vata, Pitta and Kapha, and what your tongue is telling you about the quality of your blood, organs and overall health. This is an interactive class. You'll be working in small groups as well as individually to discuss what you have learned about yourself and your fellow classmates during our time together. We will use quizzes to help you determine your dosha, and handouts as general guidelines for tongue assessments. Overview: Ayurveda uses doshas to understand a person's prakruti (natural state) and vikruti (current state of imbalance). Each dosha has specific elements, qualities, seasons, times of life, locations & actions in the body, and physical expressions. In this class, we will discuss the 3 doshas in more detail and you will be given the opportunity to determine your likely prakruti and vikruti based on questionnaires and lecture-style learning. In addition, a typical Ayurveda consultation would include an examination of your tongue to understand the quality of your current health and well-being. The tongue's appearance, texture, coating and color are all clues about your health. During the tongue assessment portion of the class, you'll be offered some basic practices to help you read your tongue, and you'll learn about Ayurvedic practices for oral hygiene.
