Timeless wisdom for a beautiful life.

Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word that translates to  “wisdom of life” (Ayur = life, Veda = wisdom).  It is a 5,000 year-old holistic system of health and healing, self-care and longevity, that originated in India.  It is a Wisdom Tradition and is meant to be understood through direct experience and personal practice. Unlike many western modalities which are focused on disease management,  Ayurveda offers an individualized approach to health promotion and disease prevention utilizing the three pillars of health - food, sleep and energy management.

Humans thrive when living in sync with nature’s rhythms.  Just as in nature, we are composed of the five elements and their qualities - Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether.  Ayurveda recognizes that the cause of disease is directly linked to separation from our natural environment and our failure to recognize and address imbalances in our bodies.

Often referred to as the sister science to yoga, Ayurveda offers healthy food and lifestyle routines for optimizing digestion, restful sleep and stress management while Yoga’s breathwork, meditation, and postures strengthen the body and calm the mind.  Together these traditions celebrate our capacity for wellness in body, mind and spirit.
