BALANCE THE MIGHTY VATA - ONLINE COURSE NOW AVAILABLE 

What makes Ayurveda unique in its treatment approach is its practical wisdom on the concept of Vata. Vata is responsible for Prana - the life energy, nervous system - the master panel of our body, and our emotions. In Ayurveda, it is mentioned that controlling Vata is the most difficult part of healing and recovery. Recently I have recorded a workshop on - Balancing The Mighty Vata which has over 6 hrs of content, with notes filled with practical inputs that can be integrated into our life.

Vata =  Space + Air

In its highest form, it is Prana - the life force that runs through all living beings.

Vata, when balanced, optimised and regulated, is Prana.

Vata, when imbalanced, leads to dryness, pain, anxiety, fear, burnout, tiredness, and many other idiopathic* diseases.

*Idiopathic means disease of unknown origin in modern medicine

The main reason behind the effectiveness of Ayurveda in managing chronic and so-called incurable diseases, is the understanding of the concept of Vata.

Because of its formless nature, it cannot be identified in a laboratory, or in a blood test. Vata imbalance is the common reason behind all your test results being clean, while you are still experiencing discomfort and health issues in your body.

Vata is usually the unknown culprit in such situations, and when balanced and corrected, it's like pulling that one single thread that can untangle the whole knot of diseases in the body.
