Kripalu’s Larissa Carlson and John Douillard – Ayurveda 101

Join Larissa Hall Carlson, the former dean of Kripalu’s School of Ayurveda, and John Douillard, founder of LifeSpa, for four weeks of warming and grounding asana, pranayama, meditation, self-care practices, and dietary tips that will help you stay sane and healthy over the holidays and into spring. These seasonal practices, designed specifically for November through February, or vata season in Ayurveda, will help balance the body and mind. They are also great year-round if you are experiencing vata dosha overload—if you’re an insomniac, restless, or anxious, have low-back and hip tension, gas or constipation, and constantly feel cold.

Feeling congested, lethargic, heavy? In this course, two of the country’s best Ayurvedic experts—Larissa Hall Carlson and John Douillard—will take you through four weeks of energetic and healing practices, self-care tips, and diet help. You’ll feel lighter and more lively as you navigate the transformation that comes with the changing weather in March, April, May, and June—considered kapha season in Ayurveda. These practices are also good year-round if you are experiencing an excess of kapha dosha, which can manifest as congestion, weight gain, water retention, lack of motivation, foggy thinking, sluggishness, and feeling possessive and stubborn.
