Class 4 | The Ayurvedic Clock Part 1: Tides of Life
The Tridosha can not be separated. They are a team that works together, each with distinct roles and domains, interacting with and thus influencing one another. Together, they create organization which regulates Ma Nature’s cycles. The three doshas -- Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, give rise to all the rhythms and patterns in nature. The movement of the galaxies, the orbits of planets, and the spin of electrons, the revolving patterns of V/P/K can be observed everywhere. The annual seasons come and go in cycles, as do lunar months, as do days, heartbeats, cellular growth and degeneration. The lifespan of an organism can be observed in cycles. 

The tide of accumulation, aggravation, and alleviation is moved by many external factors. We are exposed to external factors like age and climate which are ruled by the doshas. No matter what your predominant constitutional dosha may be, your current state will be influenced by the qualities of your environment, the time of your year, day, and stage of your life.

In this class we will:

• Introduce the idea of accumulation, aggravation, and alleviation of qualities

• Identify the role doshas play in Nature’s cycling, and how they are influencing you in the stage of life and the season

• Unpack the importance of seasonal eating (Ritucharya) : The Ayurvedic sciences teach that Mother Nature is serving exactly what our bodies need in accordance with the physical challenges of the environment, mandating seasonal eating practices to promote health of the body, mind, and spirit / examine how both environment and time inform the type and quantity of food to eat, further reinforcing Six Tastes Theory
