Because the Vedic worldview is unfamiliar to most of us and Sanskrit concepts cannot simply be translated into French or English, this course aims to provide you with an authentic understanding of the ślokas (aphorisms) that are encoded there, as well as practical exercises for self-reflection and application to facilitate their integration.
By studying this first chapter, you will follow in the footsteps of many generations of Ayurvedic students, drawing from collective resources that are unimaginable.
Completing this module will also grant you access to our Paricaraka (Āyurvedic Spa Therapist Level 1) and Diet & Lifestyle Consultant curricula.
The themes we will explore together are the following:
- Introduction to Aṣṭāṅga Hṛdayaṃ
- Scope and approach of Āyurveda
- Introduction to the Āyurvedic Body
- Introduction to Rasa Pañcakam, Substances and their Qualities, Tastes
- Introduction to the Prakṛti / Vikṛti paradigm
- The central triad of Ayurveda: Hetu, Liṅga, Auṣadha
- Conclusion: Infinite possibilities—where will Āyurveda lead you?
