Self-Care Series - Restore
Indu Arora teaches the Wisdom of Self-Care - Restore
3 class series
Sept 10, Oct 3 and Oct 17, 2021
Heed the primordial call of self-care! We owe self-care to ourselves. In this 3-part series, explore how to restore the body, emotions, and mind with the perennial wisdom of Yoga and Ayurveda. These simple-to-do practices, easy-to-prepare recipes, efficient-to-apply remedies are a treasure that has been passed to me by my grandmother, mother, and Yoga and Ayurveda Gurus. Learn how to live the Yoga of Self-Care to live a life of health, purpose, and abundance.
In order to wake up, we must rest well. When we deprive the body, mind, and heart of much needed rest, care, and healing, it’s easy to turn away from fulfilling our most fundamental duty—to be healthy and to be kind. The possibility to give back, for our lives to be of purpose, to live by the foundational principles of Yoga, and the possibility to honor those who came before us—and who paved the path so lovingly with sacrifice and effortless giving—begins with rest. Prioritize, prescribe, and practice deep rest, a much-needed reboot to restore yourself with my hand-picked practices inspired by the teachings of my Guru’s ancestral lineage.
