Reigate – Surrey | Sun, 27 Feb, 2011
Ayurvedic practitioner Ratna Cordukes will guide Ayurvedic Workshops and Cooking Classes at the Yoga Ananda Holistic Centre between February and November 2011. The first workshop “Diet and Nutrition with Áyurveda” will take place on Sunday, 27th February, 2011.

This workshop gives an introduction to the Ayurvedic concepts with special reference to the association of the doshas to the six tastes and the energetic and the post-digestive effect it has on the bodily tissues. It explains the type of foods that provide nourishment to the body and mind and ones to avoid according to your constitution.
Highlights

- The power of digestion
- Incompatible foods
- Cooking tips
- Hand outs
- Delicious Ayurvedic food
- A lovely relaxed setting
Ratna’s cooking classes are very informative and FUN to attend. This is not a demonstration class but where you are able to get your hands dirty and COOK. They start with the cooking, then the eating and finish with discussing the valuable information you need to hold on to the day’s experience and cook healthy meals at home. They also throw in some competition to make it very exciting! Pitta people absolutely love it!
Every class is different with topics ranging from how to cook lentils, use spices in western dishes, making salads using Ayurvedic principles and even learning what and how to cook for people suffering with conditions like Diabetes, Hypertension, M.E., IBS etc. No class is the same so you can join any one you wish. Want to cook healthy meals that are not boring? Join them and you will be pleasantly surprised how creative you can get in the kitchen.
