ABOUT:
Ayurveda, which literally means the science of life, is one of the oldest medical practices dating back 5000 years. The essence of Ayurveda is to bring “who you are out” by removing imbalances both in the physical body and the mind. When we are free from suffering, we begin to find passion and meaning in life and our true spirit blossoms. According to Ayurveda, we are what we digest, not what we eat. Based upon one’s quality of metabolic strength (agni), we may be ingesting the same food but find a different outcome on the back end of assimilation. For thousands of years, Ayurveda has shown us how to heal various ailments by looking at our individual gut health, and now Ayurveda is becoming a focus for research on health conditions related to obesity, heart conditions, diabetes, arthritis, auto immune, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, strokes, and many more. Yoga is a process of uniting the body and mind. It is also a process of how we engage with the world around us to create harmony. It involves developing a deeper sense of awareness and then taking action from a place of balance. Through practices such as physical movement, pranayama (breathwork), and meditation, we can balance our nervous system, cultivate a deeper sense of clarity, and improve our vitality.
