Overview:

Before we begin exploring the key stages of a woman’s reproductive life, it’s essential to understand the Ayurvedic perspective on the feminine body as a whole. This introductory module sets the foundation for everything that follows. It introduces the philosophy, energetics, and guiding principles of Ayurveda and explains how they apply specifically to women’s health. You'll learn how the body, mind, and spirit are interconnected through the cycles of life, and how each stage—menarche, menstruation, fertility, pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause—represents an opportunity for deeper balance and self-awareness.

This module also introduces the three doṣas—Vāta, Pitta, and Kapha—and how they govern all physiological and emotional functions in the body. You'll begin to understand how imbalances arise, what they look like in real life, and why hormonal symptoms are never isolated—they are always part of a larger story.
