Ayurveda, the sister science of yoga, is an ancient system that can guide you toward optimal health. Alie is honored to be able to share the life-affirming gift of Ayurveda through this class offered at Chi Yoga Shack in Chicago. In this workshop, she will present some of the vast history, foundational elements, qualities, and energies of this 5,000-year-old system of healing.

Here you will learn ways to determine your unique constitution—otherwise known as your predominant dosha vikruti—while also discovering the many benefits of Ayurveda’s time-honored daily rituals (dinacharia), medicinal foods and spices (sadhana), and of course yoga practices. Along with discussion, you will practice pranayama and meditation to bring awareness to dosha balance, and Alie will give a demonstration on how to make medicinal ghee (clarified butter). AnAyurveda handout will be provided so you can continue your learning at home.

In 2022, Alie received her Ayurveda Yoga Specialist Certification with Kathryn Templeton and Yoga International. Education is a constant source of inspiration and life enrichment for her, and she is continuing to study and practice modalities including Embodying Safety: Incorporating Yoga, QiGong, and the Polyvagal Theory with Amelia Barili and Ayurveda Mental Health Coach Certification with Kathryn Templeton.

It is Alie’s intention to empower you to use simple and sustainable Ayurveda practices in order to experience more vibrant energy in your daily life and to bring greater peace to your own mind, body, and Spirit.
