Ayurveda, a sister science of yoga, literally translates to the ‘knowledge of life’. This traditional system of healing emphasizes each person's uniqueness. By understanding one's unique constitution and imbalances, specific treatments are designed to ensure each person's optimal state of health and wellbeing.

Among the many treatments used to create balance are:

Nutrition - eating according to your constitution and the external environment. we explore a general guideline of foods to eat and foods to avoid. As you learn more about ayurveda, you will be able to make harmonious choices about what foods to consume according to your imbalances and the season.

Daily lifestyle practices – ayurveda has presented a number of useful daily rituals that help cleanse and tonify the bodily and mental system so the stresses presented to us in the world have less effect over our health. These include, but are not limited to yoga, pranayama, and meditation.

Aromatherapy, color therapy, sound therapy - balance comes through harmonious relationship with our senses. All three of these therapies address balancing our senses through harmonious intake of sound, sight, and smell.

Body therapy – body therapies are often considered the heart and soul of ayurveda. The skin is very sensitive and receives a lot of information from the external world. If the skin is protected properly with the use of oils and massage, the health of the body, mind and spirit is much more resilient to outside and internal stressors.

Herbs – herbs are often provided to help the body heal itself. These are optional, but can often profoundly increase the speed and depth of the healing process.
