Discovering Ayurveda and Seasonal Yoga

The International Holistic Therapy Association (IHTA), established to promote holistic medicine and advance the therapy industry, is excited to host an online seminar titled "Ayurveda x Seasonal Yoga from Summer to Autumn" on September 13, 2025. As seasons shift, our bodies often respond to these changes, and this seminar aims to explore that connection through the lens of Ayurveda and yoga.

Understanding the Significance of Ayurveda

Ayurveda, an ancient healing system, focuses on balancing the mind and body through the concept of doshas—the energies that govern physical and emotional well-being. During the transition from summer, characterized by the fiery energy of Pitta, to autumn's cooler, more airy energy of Vata, imbalances can easily occur. This period is critical for tuning into our bodies and aligning with the natural world around us.

The Online Seminar's Content

This seminar's primary goal is to educate participants about their bodies' responses to seasonal changes and introduce practical Ayurvedic wisdom. Participants will learn about:

• - Fundamentals of Ayurveda: Understanding the dosha theory and its implications on health.
• - Signs of Imbalance: Identifying how doshas change with the season and recognizing the signals from the body.
• - Self-Care Practices: Discovering easy and effective self-care strategies that can be incorporated into daily routines.
• - Ayurvedic Nutrition: Utilizing seasonal ingredients in meal preparation to support health through diet.
• - Yoga Poses and Breathing Techniques: Engaging in specific yoga practices designed to calm the mind and body during transitional periods.
