The basic foundation of daily living and this ancient science of self-healing will be outlined in a way the participants can take home, apply immediately, and see how small adjustments and tweaks to their daily routine, diet, and habits can transform their life, their thoughts, and their reality. Find out what you constitution is and how it is ever-evolving, yet always the same. Find out how there is always truth in paradox. Some topics we will discover: what is your DOSHA?
