In the Caraka Samhita Āyurveda text, Janapada Uddhvāsana can be translated as the appearance and spread of a pandemic. In this discussion style workshop, we will look at some of the ways Āyurveda has viewed epidemics and pandemics historically. We will then look at simple protocols arising from both yoga and Āyurveda to help us move through these challenging times.
