The Ayurvedic Way to Live Well with Berta Couto

Ayurveda is one of the world's oldest holistic healing systems. Originating in India, Ayurveda focuses on whole-body healing and believes that a person’s dosha, made up from the natural elements of air, space, water, fire, and earth, are responsible for a person’s physiological, mental, and emotional health.

The term Ayurveda is derived from the Sanskrit words ayur (life) and veda (science or knowledge). Thus, Ayurveda translates to knowledge of life. Ayurveda believes by treating the root cause of a person's emotional, mental and physical imbalances using a comprehensive holistic approach that prioritizes diet, herbal remedies, exercise, meditation, breathing, and physical therapy; you will balance the mind, body and spirit. 

Berta Couto is a yoga teacher and Ayurvedic practitioner that has intensely studied the human body, mind, and soul. She is passionate in her work to help clients release traumas through the body, bringing them back to a state of balance by prescribing a personalized 360º holistic health plan.

Berta explains to host Gabby the basic principles of Ayurveda and how you can learn to become your own doctor by listening to subtle signals from your body. Berta also gives a breakdown on the three main dosha types; Vata, Pitta and Kapha, giving an overview of each of their characteristics and behaviours. Plus Berta shares how and why the dosha's can become unbalanced and what signs we can look out for when we know our own.
