Cooking for your type includes seasonal choices and foods and spices that create balance. Meals are vegetarian.
In the art and science of Ayurveda, each of us has a predominant body constitution or dosha that is made up of a combination of the five states of matter: space, air, fire, water, earth. When certain elements are combined certain states are present and create certain conditions which can either pacify, aggravate or balance our systems. By following a diet and a lifestyle appropriate for our dosha, there is a greater sense of staying in balance and achieving wellness.
Through the “Grassroots Ayurveda” approach, this series of cooking classes will address one dosha at a time and highlight the foods, spices and seasonal choices advised to keep balanced. Participants are invited to either cook along with Paula or just watch. A list of ingredients and recipes will be sent beforehand, as well as a Dosha Quiz. For those who do not know their constitutional type, the quiz will offer a general overview. Meals are vegetarian.
