Ayurveda Cookery Course with Elisabeth Jaeger


Elisabeth Jaeger of The Sri Sri Ayurveda Institute in Canada will bring this course to DC in time for the holidays! The fabulous intensive workshop takes you deep into the knowledge and practice of Ayurvedic cooking in just 6 sessions over 4 days.
4- Day Workshop: Friday, November 9 (6:30-9:30pm); Saturday & Sunday, November 10&11 (10am-5pm); Monday, November 12th (6:30-9:30pm)

The course is for everyone who wants to invigorate their life--whether you are new to a vegetarian diet, looking to liven-up your long-standing veggie meals, or just to add a few more vegetarian meals to your week!

Each day we will cook and learn how the ancient knowledge from India of Ayurveda ("the Study of Life") interweaves body types, nutrition and the five elements into delectable, life-supporting foods. Ayurvedic health principles promote healing, balance, and a calm mind. Just to “wet your appetite” some of the topics include:

•What’s my body type? What unique tastes do I need for balance?
•What food will give me a perk? Calm the mind? How do I get out of lethargy?
•What’s the deal with proteins?
•What causes disease in the body?
•What creates health?
•What’s for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?
This Course has been taught all over the world. It’s tried and true and brings a powerful tool that complements other life-enhancing practices such as yoga, breathing techniques, and meditation. Come join us for what will be an enriching and delicious six session class!
