Ayurvedic Self-Care: Time-Honored Rituals for Everyday Life
This course is an invitation to return to rhythm.
Rooted in classical Ayurveda and adapted for modern living, this self-care journey teaches you how to care for your body, mind, and senses through simple, daily practices that have been used for thousands of years. You’ll learn how to modify traditional Ayurvedic therapies so they are safe, accessible, and deeply nourishing at home—without needing fancy tools or hours of free time.
Rather than quick fixes, this course focuses on building awareness, consistency, and self-trust. You’ll begin to understand why certain practices work for you, how to listen to your constitution, and how to create rituals that support balance across seasons and stages of life.
This is slow medicine, done wisely — and it works.
Ayurvedic Therapy Modifications for Self-Care
An overview of how classical Ayurvedic therapies are traditionally used, and how they can be responsibly adapted for home practice. You’ll learn foundational principles like timing, contraindications, energetics, and how to choose the right amount rather than doing too much. This lesson sets the tone for safe, intuitive self-care rooted in discernment.
Garshana (Dry Brushing)
Explore the stimulating, lightening qualities of garshana and how this practice supports circulation, lymphatic flow, and metabolic fire. You’ll learn when dry brushing is supportive, when it’s not, how to modify pressure based on your constitution, and how to integrate garshana into a sustainable routine without overstimulation.
Abhyanga (Self-Oil Massage)
A cornerstone of Ayurvedic self-care. This lesson covers oil selection by constitution and season, proper application techniques, timing, and nervous system benefits. You’ll learn how abhyanga nourishes tissues, calms the mind, supports immunity, and creates a deep sense of embodied safety — all through a practice that can be as short as 5–10 minutes.
Nasya (Nasal Oil Therapy)
Learn how nasya supports the sinuses, nervous system, hormonal balance, and mental clarity. This lesson walks you through safe home nasya practices, oil choices, preparation, and common mistakes to avoid. You’ll also gain insight into how the nasal passages act as a gateway to the mind in Ayurvedic understanding.
Netra Basti (Eye Care Practices)
A gentle introduction to Ayurvedic eye care adapted for daily life. You’ll learn traditional principles behind netra basti, along with safer, accessible alternatives to support eye strain, dryness, and visual fatigue — especially relevant in our screen-heavy world. Emphasis is placed on rest, nourishment, and sensory balance.
Karna Purana (Ear Oiling)
This lesson explores the often-overlooked practice of ear oiling and its role in calming vata, supporting hearing, reducing tension, and grounding the nervous system. You’ll learn proper technique, oil selection, frequency, and how this simple ritual can bring surprising steadiness and clarity.
Ayurvedic Nutrition for Your Constitution
Rather than rigid meal plans, this lesson teaches you how to understand food through qualities (guna), taste (rasa), and energetics (virya). You’ll learn how to choose foods that support your constitution, digestion, and current state of imbalance — empowering you to make aligned choices in real life, not just in theory.
Awareness Practices: Asana & Meditation
Self-care isn’t just what you do — it’s how you relate to yourself. This closing lesson introduces awareness-based movement and meditation practices aligned with Ayurvedic principles. You’ll learn how to move and sit in ways that regulate the nervous system, cultivate presence, and reinforce the subtle benefits of all the physical practices you’ve learned.
