Creating lasting habits is rarely a matter of willpower alone. In this recorded course, you’ll explore why habits form, why they are difficult to change, and how traditional and modern perspectives help explain the patterns that shape daily behavior. Drawing from Ayurveda, yoga psychology, and contemporary behavioral research, the class offers a holistic framework for understanding habits as expressions of rhythm, conditioning, environment, and internal motivation.
You’ll learn how factors such as circadian cycles, emotional patterns, subconscious imprinting, and reward systems influence behavior over time. Rather than focusing on isolated habits, the course emphasizes lifestyle context—how sleep, routine, mindset, and daily structure either support or undermine the changes you want to make.
The course also introduces practical tools for working with habits in a realistic and sustainable way, including reflective practices, routine design, environmental cues, and traditional herbal categories used to support steadiness and clarity. The emphasis is on observation, alignment, and gradual change rather than force or self-criticism.
This class is well suited for individuals and practitioners who want a thoughtful, integrative approach to building healthier habits that can be maintained over the long term.

Habits are often treated as isolated behaviors to be corrected through discipline or motivation. Traditional systems of self-development, however, view habits as the natural outcome of deeper rhythms involving the nervous system, daily routine, emotional patterns, and environment. In this recorded course, you’ll explore habit formation through a holistic lens that integrates Ayurveda, yoga psychology, and modern behavioral science.
The course begins by examining how habits are formed and reinforced, including the roles of circadian rhythm, subconscious conditioning, reward cycles, and emotional conflict. You’ll learn why many common approaches to habit change fail, and how misalignment between lifestyle, environment, and intention often creates resistance rather than progress.
You’ll then explore practical strategies for working with habits more effectively. Topics include designing supportive daily routines, using mindfulness and reflection to identify underlying patterns, and shaping your environment to reduce friction and encourage consistency. Traditional perspectives on steadiness, balance, and rhythm are woven together with contemporary insights into behavior and motivation.
The course also discusses how supportive practices—such as meditation, lifestyle regularity, and traditional herbal categories associated with grounding and clarity—are used to reinforce stability rather than push change through force. Throughout, the emphasis remains on building conditions that naturally support healthier choices over time.
Rather than offering quick fixes, this class provides a foundational understanding of how habits relate to identity, daily structure, and long-term wellbeing, helping you approach change with patience, insight, and sustainability.
