A Glimpse of Ayurveda 201:
- Week One: Determine your emotional mind-body types and identify what areas of your life are more tamasic (dense, depressed, or fearful) or rajasic (addicted to stimulation or reward). Once determined, we can then take aim at these unwanted mental and emotional behaviors and free ourselves from them.
- Week Two: The annamaya kosha, or physical body, is purified by resetting digestion and balancing vata, pitta, and kapha with Ayurveda and yoga. If the body is out of balance, little self-awareness can be established or maintained.
- Week Three: We examine the pranamaya kosha, the energy sheath that connects body and mind. Here, the movement of subtle energy with yoga and breathing is key to move life-force or prana into both body and mind. Only when prana is moving fully into mind and body can we be fully self-aware.
- Week Four: We find ways to purify the manomaya kosha, the mental sheath, which is where we hold in old mental and emotional patterns of behavior.
- Week Five: The vijnanamaya kosha is the discernment sheath, the sheath of transformational action. Here, with the body in balance, the prana moving freely, and the mind no longer attached to its protective emotions, we begin to take transformational action to free ourselves from old patterns of behavior that have taken root as physiological imbalance.
- Week Six: The anandamaya kosha is the bliss sheath. We pull all the tools together and help deepen self-awareness, while making more profound transformational action steps. The goal is to allow the ananda or bliss to feel safe to open the delicate petals of its flower and lets its true nature out into every aspect of the body, mind, and spirit.

Hi there,
I, too, am very interested in payment plan options.
But also: I was hoping you could tell me specifically how much yoga content is contained with each of the Yoga Journal Ayurveda 101 or 201 course modules. For example, with, say, the 4-week long Winter section of Ayurveda 101, what are the yoga, pranayama and meditation offerings for each week? Meaning, how many sessions, how long is each session?
And I have the same Q for Ayurveda 201: what’s specifically offered for yoga, pranayama and meditation, how many sequences of each, and how long is each sequence?
Thanks for your assistance!

Hi MJ,
the course syllabus is available on each course page, where it goes in depth on what to expect from the course. Specifically for times in A201, it lists that each of the 6 weeks you get “45-60 minutes of asana, pranayama, and/or meditation practices.”
The A101 Winter course provides a month of yoga, but does not provide an estimated total, as some of the yoga is provided as individual poses to incorporate within your practice.
As for payment plan options, those are not available, however, if you find the courses in the online store, store.lifespa.com, you can find a coupon code for each course that should help with the cost.
Best,
LifeSpa Staff
