PART I: AN INFORMATIVE LECTURE ON AYURVEDA
Do you ever wonder why certain foods do not agree with you? Does your energy level change frequently or is it not quite what it used to be? Discover the inner workings of the mind, body and spirit as Steven covers the fundamentals of the history and philosophy. Practical and relevant material will be covered. Bring a notebook to take notes.

PART II: ABHYANGA, THE ART OF SELF-MASSAGE
Does your body feel dull, tired or exhausted from the summer heat? This workshop will be a hands-on experience to learn the traditional Ayurvedic massage called Abhyanga. The massage uses a hypoallergenic, medicated oil that hydrates the skin and detoxifies the body, while stimulating the nervous system, promoting muscle and joint flexibility. A light flow will follow the massage to enhance detoxification and rejuvenation.
