2-day Workshop on Longevity + Ayurveda
Longevity is a hot topic these days, with many seeking ultra-modern methods like a fountain of youth; we seem eager to do anything to get a few more years of life. However, the original system of longevity, beauty, and wellness of India provides profound insights as taught in Ayurveda.
Join Mas Vidal to learn more about Ayurveda’s secret system for living a long and healthy life, including how diet, sleep, and managing creative energy can produce powerful results. Ayurveda provides advanced holistic practices and wisdom teachings for promoting a long and healthy life, free of disease.
Part One (Sat) 2 - 4:30 pm: Introduction to Ayurveda’s system of longevity, its principles, and three pillars. Topics include what longevity is and the spans of life as mentioned in texts, the role of diet, sleep, and the management of one's sexual energy. If the scientific research indicates such methods as efficacious, then why are more people following Ayurveda? Why modern exercise is not as good as people may think, and how diet can play an important role in this regard. Also, learn the importance lifestyle plays in longevity and its correlation to fertility, beauty, and wellness.
Part Two (Sun) 2 - 4:30 pm: This class will embrace an integral approach to the topic of longevity. We will begin with an invocation, some energy techniques, and breath work, a fresh research presentation on the essentials of diet, sleep, and preservation of one's vital energy (sexual and creative).
