When the Student is Ready, the Teacher Appears

The Science of Self-Healing

The physical body can teach us what it needs for optimal health. Over the years, we often lose the ability to know how best to eat. In this discussion, we will go over the basic principles of digestion, the mechanics of eating, food combining, etc, and then go deeper. We know we are more than our bodies and more than our minds. Yoga teaches us about another aspect of self, called the Pranamaya kosha. Yogic practices that influence this subtle body can directly improve our physical and mental body. A Pranayama Practice will be included. Please feel free to request us to address any physical condition participants may have.
