Yoga Alliance Approved
Course.
This is a
required course for the
Discovery Yoga 300-hour
Master Yoga Teacher Certification
program.
PART I: In
weekend one, we will
establish the foundations,
learning about the origins
and the fundamental
principles of Ayurveda. We
will explore our
psycho-physical
constitutions (the doshas)
and how they influence us,
and we will be looking at
how Ayurveda has a much
broader concept of health
and wellness beyond simply
the absence of disease.
PART II:
In weekend two, we will
have fun learning all
about what balances us. We
will learn about self-care
routines, foods that best
suit us, herbs, oils,
chants and mantras that
uplift us and enhance our
well being. We will be
cooking and eating
together as well!
PART III: In weekend
three, we will dive into the
exploration of how yoga and
Ayurveda come together, why
they are considered sister
sciences, how yoga asana and
pranayama affect the flow of
prana and can balance the
doshas (elements that
contribute to overall health
and wellbeing). You will
learn how to apply Ayurvedic
principles in your personal
yoga practice and in your
professional offering as
well.
In
this experiential,
hands-on course, you'll
gain foundational
knowledge of basic Ayurvedic
principles as they apply
to the practice and
teaching of yoga.
Beginning with a brief
overview of the
historical origins of
Ayurveda and the
different schools of
Yoga philosophy
that contributed to its
development, this course
is an exploration of the
relevance of Ayurveda
in our times, the
practicalities of how Ayurveda
can enhance not only a
regular yoga practice, but
also offer the yoga
teacher guidelines to
intuit and tools to cater
to the needs of his or her
students and yoga clients
more effectively.
Learn
the fundamental
principles of anatomy
and physiology from an Ayurvedic
perspective (elements of
constitution, main
principles or humors,
tissues or constructing
elements of the body,
waste products, the
body’s spatial systems
or energy channels (srotamsi),
digestion, byproducts of
overall balanced
health). Also, gain
insight into
Ayurvedic concepts
of mind and how it
affects the body.
Practical exploration of the movement of prana
and the energetics of
specific yoga asanas
and breathing
techniques (pranayama).
Experience and
practice designing
different yoga
sequences to obtain
specific desired
effects. Take home
simple lifestyle
techniques for the
longevity of the yoga
teacher and
practitioner,
including food
guidelines, daily
routine
recommendations, and
self-care modalities.
This training includes
the practice of
specific teaching
methodologies
including empathic
listening techniques,
applications of the
Cycle of Awareness®
as proposed by Don
Stapleton, Ph.D.,
backward curriculum
mapping to produce
useful lesson plans,

Karuna
was initiated into yoga
and meditation, and then
introduced to Ayurveda at
an early age.
Independently she began
exploring and applying
Ayurvedic principles in
her own life and quickly
saw the positive results
on her own health. After
deepening her studies with
Dr. Vasant Lad, Dr. Robert
Svoboda, Dr. David
Frawley, and other
pioneers in spreading
Ayurveda to the West, she
wrote a thesis for Long
Island University titled
"Taking Ayurveda Into the
21st Century" in which she
developed the idea that
individuals adopting
simple and practical
Ayurvedic lifestyle habits
will naturally contribute
to the overall well
being of
our
communities
and our society at large.
Recently she completed a 500-hour
yoga teacher training in
Self-Awakening Yoga®, a
100-hour Ayurvedic study
with Matthew Remski,
author of Threads of
Yoga, and a 50-hour
Ayurveda and Yoga teaching
certification with Chaya
Sharon Heller. Holding a
master’s degree in
education, she has been
teaching individuals how
to positively change their
lifestyles by combining
yoga and Ayurveda for
preventative health and
longevity. Karuna is
multilingual and has
taught in Costa Rica,
Canada, Italy, and the
USA.
