Free · 5 short videos · about 15 minutes in total
Ayurveda sounds complicated: Sanskrit words, doshas, rules about what to eat. It doesn’t have to be. In five short videos, Dr. Shivani explains what Ayurveda really is, how the three doshas show up in your everyday life, why your digestion matters so much, and a simple 10-second check you can do every morning. No jargon, no rules to memorise: just the basics, explained the way she has explained them to people across Europe for more than twenty years. And at the end, you’ll know which next step is right for you.
What you will learn
- What Ayurveda really is: not an ancient curiosity, but a practical science for modern life.
- The three doshas: Vata, Pitta and Kapha, and how to spot them in yourself and the people around you.
- Agni, your digestive fire: why digestion sits at the heart of Ayurveda, and one simple change to try today.
- A 10-second morning check: what your tongue can tell you about your digestion.
- Your next step: how to go further, for yourself, for your clients, or as a career.
