The Essence of the Ashtanga Hridayam

The best way to learn is from the source! In this course, I’ll take you through the most fundamental chapters of this text to teach you authentic Ayurveda. You’ll learn how to read between the lines of this intuitive and meditative text, so you may learn Ayurveda through your subconscious. This course will clarify the major Ayurveda themes we often fumble in our contemporary understanding of this ancient science.

Course Overview

The Ashtanga Hridayam is the third text of the foundational Vedic texts of Ayurveda. It’s a concise and thorough document because its author Vagbhata (AD 550-600) sought to synthesize the knowledge of the Charaka Samhitas that preceded it.

As a 3rd generation Ayurvedic healer, I grew up with this text. It’s my favorite ancient text on Ayurveda and teaching from it is one of my great joys.

Contemporary translations have allowed the world to glimpse Ayurveda, but Ayurveda’s fundamental teachings have also been muddied to suit the needs of the modern health and wellness industry. With so much information available at our fingertips, it’s difficult to understand the true wisdom of this ancient science. 

In this course, you will not only learn how to interpret and read between the lines of the Ashtanga Hridayam, but you will also gain the necessary historical and cultural context to truly realize Ayurvedic wisdom and embody it in your life.

In this six-week course, I will take you through the most essential chapters from the text, and we’ll re-examine pop Ayurveda misconceptions that often come up. 

Whether you’re a consumer of health information for yourself, or a practitioner seeking to further your understanding post-education, this course will provide you with a solid foundation of the Ashtanga Hridayam and its philosophical and practical implications.
