Maria Garre

In Ayurveda the three doshas support our physical and mental body. Integrating the teachings of Ayurveda, this class focuses on pacifying excess Vata dosha. When there is excess Vata in the body or mind it will manifest as excess thinking in the mind, restlessness, dryness and cold (to name a few).

This class will counter and bring balance to the body and nervous system. Through this progressive sequence, Maria will slowly have you feeling grounded, calm and centered.

This was just perfect for today. I ve been feeling more unsettled and this grounded me and brought my vata back into balance. I ll do this regularly. Thank you Maria!

Maria E commented on this review

Yes! love to hear. Grounding Vata focus on earth, rooting, root vegetables, slowing down and moving mindfully.

This is a class deeply infused in breathwork, ayurvedic principles and slow yet powerful asanas. It left me feeling sparkling with energy and a lightness of being. Thank you Maria, I will come back to this class again and again.

Hi Patrizia! Great news that you received the exact intention and healing. Always helps me re-center and focus and learn to slow down!

I’ve never taken a class w the theme of vata dosha... interesting. Thank you for class

Maria E commented on this review

Glad you tried something new - Ayurvedic Yoga. Based on Ayurvedic principles this class was focused upon balancing the principle of Vata dosha. That which governs our mentation, all bodily movements, breathing, nerve conduction, respiration and much more. Elevated Vata in our body can present as low back pain, insomnia, irregular energy and overactive mind, anxiety.

Not my favorite type of class. No disrespect to the teacher, just too slow for me. I did complete it as part of the 3 week challenge & to try a teacher I haven t taken from in the past.

What an awesome class! I have never tried most of what Maria taught in this class! It was a nice change to the other classes I have taken thus far in the three-week challenge.

A nice class, enjoyed the three different types of pranayama at the beginning, decided to add in a chataranga vinyasa instead of all the table tops, because I felt like I needed a little more from todays YDL challenge. But overrall, left me feeling great!

Amazing class!! Loved Maria peaceful & calm cues, I will definitely being do this class again & looking into her other classes. First time of doing this style of yoga & I got so much from doing the pranayama at the beginning of the class ...... floating on air whilst still being rooted to the earth. Wonderful in a very strange time, thankyou. Namaste.

I love this practice, so centering and peaceful to the mind and body. The perfect way to center and ground on a Friday from a busy week.

A welcome practice as we head into fall.

What a difference Pranayama before movement makes. Stillness, awareness in movement so much more awakened. Really great class. I will do this class at least once a week.

A bit slower and more focussed on breathing than I was expecting for the everyday namaste level.

Beautiful class - have enjoyed all in this series of AyurYoga classes so far but this one is my favorite to date. The focus on grounding, strengthening and centering never wavered and every posture reinforced the experience of this in the body. It is also a lovely part of the AyurYoga experience to start practice with pranayama as this really helps to awaken the prana and allow you to stay focused on its movement throughout the class. And as a final thought I would love even more explanation during the class as to how and why each practice is being done from the AyurYoga perspective. Namaste

Day 11 of the 21 day pre-holiday challenge. A very different class. I really enjoyed the pranayama practice at the beginning. Thank you.
