Ayurveda Food Alchemy Course
 

Lets cook together

6 Day Ayurveda Cooking Immersion:

Food Alchemy in Costa Rica

February 3 - 9, 2024

February 17 - 23, 2024

​

In this Level 1 immersion course, we will explore how to cook meals that are balancing to the 3 doshas, how to recognize imbalances and how to achieve balance through foods.  Not only will you leave this course with an understanding of Ayurvedic principles to achieve optimal health, this immersion is designed to strengthen your awareness and connection to your mind/body through daily yoga asanas, controlled breathing, meditation and other mindful practices.  By increasing this awareness, you will be better able to identify imbalances and allow your intuition to guide your cooking. 

​

Not only is this course beneficial for those seeking empowerment in their own healing journeys, but also for  professional chefs as you will learn how to make Ayurvedic meals that incorporate the 6 tastes, healing spices and sattvic ingredients balancing to the doshas. 

​

Your body and mind will become organically in-tune with the rhythms of nature as we explore these topics in the serene and tranquil setting of Pura Veda Gurukulam, a living example of Yoga & Ayurveda in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. This program is intentionally designed to immerse yourself in a high-vibrational and sattvic space to engage in this transformational journey with an open heart.
