Ayurveda 101 Workshop - Part I: Know Your Dosha :: Ayurveda is the ancient Indian "science of life". This system of holistic medicine seeks wellness by balancing the elements of nature within the individual's body type. There are three main approaches: herbal remedies, cleansing, and rejuvenation. ** The first step is to understand your body type. Everyone is a combination of the five elements: space, air, fire, water, and earth. Ayurveda describes the combinations of these elements as doshas. Vata is space and air. Pitta is fire and water. Kapha is water and earth. Each body is a unique combination. Health is balancing these doshas to your individual genetic code. ** In this workshop you will learn your unique body type and simple steps that are right for YOU to restore health and rejuvenate your body, mind, and spirit. This course will cover the basic Ayurvedic principles of elements and doshas. The instructor will read the pulses of each class participant to inform him of his healthy state (prakruti) and his current imbalance (vikruti). The course will cover diet, exercise, meditation, and daily living habits recommended to balance each dosha (body type). **** Recommended reading: Ayurveda: The Science of Self-Healing by Dr. Vasant Lad.**** Investment is $108 The course will be taught by Pamela Cefaratti who studied with Dr. Vasant Lad at The Ayurvedic Institute for 4 years.

Wynne’s artistic sound is derived from 20 years of musical adventures and spiritual experiences. ****It was Yoga that gave Wynne a new voice , a new instrument, and a new venue in which to use them. The new voice: Kirtan chanting, ( the call-and-response singing of Bhakti yoga) ; the new instrument: Sarod (a 26 stringed, sitar-like instrument from India); the new venue: yoga centers.**** The practice of yoga also introduced Wynne to the celebrated chanter, Krishna Das.

Wynne played guitar, sarod, and saz (a stringed instrument in the lute family) on the groundbreaking Krishna Das CD, “Pilgrim Heart,” one of the genre’s defining albums, which also featured Sting. Wynne also played sarod on the Krishna Das CD “All One,” and composed the music for the Krishna Das single, Prayer to Rudra on the CD “Planet Yoga." As a yoga musician, Wynne has performed his music on such diverse stages as those at Constitution Hall, the Smithsonian music series at the National Zoo and the Millenium celebration in Washington DC; CB’s Gallery (CBGB’s) in New York, the Health and Harmony Festival in northern California, and Karmapalooza in Florida; as well as at museums, holistic resorts, bookstores, raves, churchs, temples, and private gatherings. Wynne has also performed with the Indian Saint Ammachi, and sang at a Washingtonian event that featured H.H. The Dalai Lama.
