Ayurveda realises that stress, also known as sahas, is the root cause of many diseases. The modern allopathic (medical) systems see stress as both a positive or a negative experience of the adrenal system. However, in the system of Ayurveda, stress is closely related to the three vital energies (or doshas) called vata, pitta and kapha. These doshas are the key to understanding the triggers behind your stress, and helping you to adopt a balanced lifestyle which will build up the intensity of your vitalityand your awareness, so that you can overcome your stress. To know more about your personal vata, pitta and kapha, please refer to the Self-diagnosis Chart on the What is Ayurveda page of this website. According to Ayurveda, depression is the outcomeexcessivekaphawhich leads you to become passive; this creates imbalances in the brain, which are known as the vata. When these imbalances also affect the body’s metabolism,it is known as the pitta.The result of any sudden imbalance in vata and pitta is the release of excess kapha, creating heaviness, gloom and hopelessness in the body, and culminating in depression. The practices we offer present a holistic approach to the concept of yogic, Tantric and Vedic practices and understandings, which encompass one’s total well-being through a range of different systems, and are collectively known as Vedic Yoga – yoga in its traditional, pure form, without any dilution. Its essential focus is how students can redirect their awareness back to its source – to the soul, so that they can experience what it means to be complete. It is a traditional science based on the teachings of the Vedas which were written approximately 1500 to 1000 BC. The Vedas show us how to return to our true nature through various methods and techniques which have been tested throughout the ages. Our Centre offers different sets of yogic practices which include kundalini kriyas (also known as samyak kriya, or Tantric kriya), hatha yoga (asana, pranayama, bandha, mudra and yoga nidra), and Vedic dhyana – the ancient Himalayan approach to systematically developing your concentration (dharana) so that you can to experience the higher state of meditation (dhyana). We specifically offer the Himalayan traditional teachings – the Himalayan Living Wisdom, and the art of conscious living. The various methods are delivered in a way that help students to learn to live without fear, and become spontaneous with life so that they can experience that their life does not need to be a struggle, but can become one of joy and bliss. The Ayurvedic experiences that we offer, show alternative methods for participants to detoxify their body and mind, as well as provide an understanding of both the theory of Ayurveda and its practical application in day-to-day life. It also shows how these can be combined with the yoga practices that we offer, for overall health and well-being.
