Ayurveda teaches us that at birth, five elements (earth, air, water, ether and fire) come together in an individual in various combinations. The elements that predominate define your nature or constitution and are referred to as your "dosha". In general, if air and ether predominate in your constitution, then you are “Vata” in nature; if fire and water predominate, then you are “Pitta”; if water and earth predominate, you are “Kapha”. Understanding your dosha or nature is the key to understanding what actions will create balance or imbalance in your life. If we understand our unique physical, dietary and emotional needs, then we can make conscious choices to do things in our life that will create balance. Furthermore, we can minimize activities, foods and situations that will create imbalance. Chronic imbalance often leads to disease. So Ayurveda can be a powerful system that puts you in control of your wellness. Ayurveda can empower you to make the changes necessary to take control of your life and live healthier. Ayurvedic Wellness Coach & Cooking (for individuals or families) In my role as your Ayurvedic Wellness Coach, I will help you understand the unique qualities that define your constitution and share with you the system to maintain balance. The first step is identifying your specific dosha which is done through a questionnaire and confirmed with pulse reading. Then I will help you understand what actions will create harmony or disharmony in your life. From there, I will create a holistic program for you and/or your family based on Ayurvedic principles. The program may include any or all of the following: yoga, meditation, dietary changes, cleansing, or deep relaxation exercises. I will tailor the program to meet your lifestyle and I will modify it to accommodate your changing circumstances (i.e., physical, emotional, environmental, etc.). I will provide a nurturing environment to allow this routine to become second nature and easy to maintain. I will support you through the process and expertly guide you on your journey to harmony, balance and optimal wellness. Ayurveda provides the knowledge of how to use food to heal and nourish on many levels (physically, emotionally and spiritually). I love to cook and will prepare delicious meals that are designed to be balancing for your specific dosha (or tri-doshic for the family). You may not have the time, desire or ability to cook for yourself, but you deserve to have meals that are made with love. Are you are a busy professional (or family) that needs help with preparing healthy, nourishing meals? Are you an emotional eater or feel you are not at your optimal weight? I can help with these and other dietary concerns. For a complimentary consultation today contact me at: Lois@yogawithlois.com or phone, Los Angeles (310) 477-6222 Albuquerque: (505) 323-4410 |
