The Magnificent Seven: The Dhatus in YogaÂ
In Yoga and Ayurveda, the body is made from seven primary tissues called dhatus. The term dhatu means to hold or support and the seven—plasma, blood, muscle, fat, bone, nerve, and reproductive fluid—are the building blocks for the entire body. In this course we discover how all yoga practices from meditation to asana, and from diet to pranayama serve to enhance the function of these essential seven tissues.
Yogic Nutrition and Somatic Healing
We begin by exploring the ground substance of rasa, the progenitor of all 7 tissues. We include a day on nutritional and dietary health for building the blood. We use select yoga practices and somatic movements to generate optimal health in the muscle, fat, bone, and nervous system. Lastly, we will see how the reproductive system is not limited to procreation, but in yoga is the most vital tissue in the body to support radiant health and immunity (ojas).
Ayurveda Dosha
In this course we take time to review your dosha (physical body type) in order to determine what kind of diet and movement practice is ideal for you. Learn how by boosting your individual dhatu, you can generate more vitality in your overall constitution.
Day 7: Semen/Ovum | Friday, September 29
The final tissue, the reproductive tissue is thought to be the most refined of all the tissues and Hatha Yoga is designed to safeguard the vitality of this dhatu. The reproductive tissue is closely paired to immunity, physical vitality, and longevity. We study male and female reproductive health and practice hip, inner groin, and lower abdominal releases.
