Kathryn Templeton combines her 30 years of experience as a psychotherapist with the sister sciences of Yoga and Ayurveda. She explains Ayurvedic Psychology and how we are not our dosha tendencies i.e. we are not our stress or our trauma. We discuss the following: Kathryn's introduction to Ayurveda was a byproduct of her own bereavement issues. The importance of the simple but effective practice of pranayama or breath work. How Ayurveda impacts Kathryn's life personally and professionally and how she uses her direct personal experience in her professional practice. Combining the sister sciences of Yoga and Ayurveda with western psychology. An explanation of manas prakriti or mental constitution and an insight into the mental qualities of Sattva, Rajas and Tamas. How each dosha reacts differently to a stress response. Self-care practices to manage stress. Kathryn's new Yoga International 3WT Core Concepts program which includes the 3 Wisdom Traditions of Yoga, Ayurveda and Psychology.
