in Bronte, New South Wales organised by Katie Rose
in Bronte, New South Wales organised by Katie Rose
An Ayurvedic training for yogis with Katie Manitsas (and guest teacher Rachel Nokes). We will explore food, sadhana, lifestyle protocols, understanding the seasons, your own unique dharma and constitution and that of your families and friends. We will practice and investigate building an asana practice to work for your dosha as well as engaging with the role of ritual and developing bhakti through chanting. We will meet for six days and practice yoga (suitable for all levels), lectures, practical demonstrations, discussion and on the last day we will make a sacred Ayurvedic lunch to enjoy together. Ayurveda is a great passion in Katie’s life and the teachings have given her true joy and harmony.
‘My lineage in terms of Ayurveda is with the Wise Earth School of Ayurveda under the direct mentorship of Maya Tiwari (Mother Maya) for many years. I have studied in the USA, India, UK and Australia. I’ve also completed panchakarma in both India and Sri Lanka. I’ve been applying and living these principles for many years both as a mother in terms of caring for my family and for self-care and this training is my own personal expression of how Ayurveda has served my practice and my life. The focus is on hands on application and conscious spiritual practice (Sadhana) rather than theory, although we will cover all the basics of Sanskirt terminology and understanding traditional scriptural advice.’ Katie Manitsas.
Modules include:
Required reading:
‘The Path of Practice’ by Maya Tiwari
‘Everyday Ayurveda Cookbook’ by Kate O’Donnell (www.everydayayurvedacookbook.com)
