About Ayurveda and food:
Ayurveda is an ancient medicine system with a holistic approach to balance life energies. Ayur means life, veda means knowledge. Ayurveda offers a body of wisdom designed to help people stay vital while realizing their full human potential. Its goal is to maintain or heal the body, mind and the spirit as these are universally interconnected and integrated with the environment around us.
Nature is made up of five elements: air, water, fire, earth and ether. These elements dictate a unique body constitution for each one of us; called vata, pitta and kapha. Understanding one’s body constitution is equivalent to unlocking our personal code. This can be done with the help of an Ayurvedic doctor. Dr Mamta, proficient and experienced doctor, at the Art of Living Ayurveda Centre would be delighted to assist you in deciphering your body type.
Every food given by nature also possess these elements. Thus arises the importance of knowing not only the body but also the food we consume; which helps create a balance and stay healthy. Eating is an essential function for life sustenance giving us energy to grow and experience life; vice versa life experiences depend on what we eat. Ayurveda believes that a person can stay fit and free of disease by following the right diet.
About the teacher:
Kaushani Desai studied food and nutrition in the year 2004, and during her practice as a nutritionist she felt there is more to explore. That is when she was prompted by her father to study Ayurveda. She started her research on the subject and underwent one year training. Her passion to cook food for her parents and see them relish it with joy and smiles, along with her Guru’s instructions, swayed a wave of inspiration; and spreading this knowledge became a way of life.
She has traveled almost 40 countries in last twelve years: Asia, Mid-East, Europe, and Africa. She has successfully conducted courses overcoming the barriers of language and culture. ‘Each course and every country is an enriching experience for me’, comments Kaushani. Everyone has accepted and appreciated this knowledge. She says, ‘It feels blessed seeing such a happy response from your audiences who belong to different cultures, speak different languages but so humbly get engrossed in learning Ayurvedic Cooking.’ To see and hear people implement the Ayurveda knowledge in practice, yields great sense of satisfaction and energizes her to innovate and share the knowledge endlessly.

Some views of the participants:
I was in two minds whether to join or not. I had some different concepts in mind but after joining the course I’m so happy. The food tastes yum, so healthy and takes little time to cook. My family too is loving it. – Dr Sunita Madan
I enjoyed the course, learned so many healthy recipes. She explained very well about human body and the reason why we should follow some discipline to stay healthy. – Shoba Krishnan
An eye opener course. It’s not only about cooking, the right method of cooking and how to keep food full of nutrition. Best part was to learn sweet dishes low in calories and substitutes for white sugar. – Uma
I found the cooking course very interesting and informative. Kaushaniji explained the concept of Ayurveda in a very basic way. I now understand the three doshas and how they have an effect on our body. The style of cooking was amazing. She made a lot of mouthwatering dishes without having to fry and sweets without using processed sugar. I have now started shopping and cooking with Ayurveda in mind. – Bhavyashree
The cooking methods were simple and easy. Food tasted better despite being cooked without oil. With a little bit of planning these methods can be easily incorporated in our daily cooking. Knowledge about food & how it affects us was awesome! – Sapna
Being my first cooking course ever, didn’t know what to expect. Was very pleasantly surprised by all the knowledge that Kaushani ji imparted to us, which was not only valuable but very easy to understand and relate to. Extremely healthy, delicious food with very little or absolutely no oil was no less than a wonder for me. – Rachna
My word: I am glad that I joined this course. I was able to relate my moods and emotions and health issues to my food habits. The cooking techniques are simple and easy to follow. The dishes are all the more fulfilling and delicious with the awareness that it is nurturing me from inside.
