What: Holistic Moms DC June 2010 Meeting
When: Tuesday, June 1, 6:30-8:30 pm
Topic: Ayurveda for the Family


On Tuesday, June 1, the DC Chapter of the Holistic Moms Network will welcome Anne Thiel, Ayurvedic Lifestyle Consultant, who will teach us how to incorporate the healing science of Ayurveda into the care of our families.

Ayurveda is an ancient Indian healing science that is often considered the “sister science” of yoga. It was developed by “rishis” (seers) through observing the world and human beings around us. Also coined “medicine of nature”, at its core, Ayurveda seeks to teach us how to live in harmony with nature, with its cyclical rhythm, but also with the way nature’s energies manifest in us. Ayurveda captures this manifestation of energies and how it plays out in human beings in the concept of doshas, or constitutional body types. Understanding yours and your child’s body types can go a long way toward preventing illness and furthering health and even happiness. In this session, Anne will discuss the basic tenets of Ayurveda and the three main forms of constitutional body types. She will teach us how to determine our and our childrens’ body types, imbalances that are likely to occur for each type, and how we can be proactive about preventing them.

Anne Thiel is an Ayurvedic lifestyle consultant. She was first formally introduced to Ayurveda in an Ayurveda/Thai Yoga training in 2005 and completed Kripalu’s School of Ayurveda program in 2007. Anne is passionate about the wisdom of this ancient Indian healing science and seeks to help clients identify lifestyle changes that allow them to find more balance and harmony in their lives. Anne has been offering workshops in the DC area for the past few years and also works with clients on a one-to-one basis.

Our "Ayurveda for the Family" meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 1, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Cleveland Park Public Library, 3310 Connecticut Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20008.
