Medicinal Chai and the 6 Tastes: A Free Ayurvedic Exploration
March 3rd, 4pm PST
Deepen your understanding of Ayurveda's foundational principles while learning to create healing beverages for yourself, your loved ones, and your students. Join renowned Ayurvedic Chef Aria Peterman for this complimentary one-hour webinar designed specifically for yoga teachers and yoga therapists.
In this interactive session, you'll explore the six tastes of Ayurveda—sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent—and discover how each taste influences the doshas and supports holistic wellness. Aria will guide you through the unique "superpowers" of each taste and demonstrate how to harness these principles through the art of medicinal chai making.
You'll Learn:
The therapeutic properties of each of the 6 Ayurvedic tastes
How to balance tastes according to individual dosha needs
The healing benefits of common chai spices
How to brew your own medicinal Chai
This hands-on experience includes a guided tea-making session, a chai recipe you can take home, and practical knowledge you can share with your yoga students and clients.

Aria Peterman, C-IAYT
I have been nourishing folks with food since 1995, first on commercial fishing boats and then small charters in SE Alaska. Ayurveda became a steering compass for my life in 2007. I’ve been using it regularly to guide my body back to balance ever since. The Ayurveda I studied naturally dovetailed with the wholefoods perspective I was already practicing and evolved into the yoga retreat chef and Ayurveda educator I am today. I am an IAYT certified Yoga Therapist. I am faculty for Essential Yoga Therapy's IAYT accredited yoga therapist training program, teaching practical application of Ayurveda in the kitchen. Yoga and Ayurveda meet us exactly where we are. By nurturing our relationship to nature (Ayurveda) and the connection to all the layers of self (Yoga) we come back in line with our highest potential. I recharge best in the wilds, sweeping mountain scapes, and swirling tango floors. Food is a language, and I am honored to pass some of my fluency on to you.
