Ayurveda:  
 

Ayurveda, translated as "wisdom of life", is a 5,000 year-old preventive holistic health care system from India. Traditionally, Yoga and Ayurveda are practiced together and are believed to be inseparable sisters. Ayurvedic wisdom helps us to understand who we truly are, why we are having the challenges that we are having, and how to overcome them, so we can lead happier, healthier and more satisfying lives.

Ayurveda believes that everything on this planet, including our bodies, consists of five elements: space, air, fire, water, and earth. Every individual is a unique combination of these five elements and has a unique constitution. Throughout our lives because of our environment, the way we think, deal with stress, what and how we eat, relax or not relax, exercise too much or too little, etc, we get further and further away from our constitution, from who we truly are.

The goal of Ayurveda is to bring us back to who we truly are and restore balance in our bodies and minds. Through lifestyle adjustments, diet, herbs, meditation, yoga, oil and sense therapies, Ayurveda brings us back to our true nature where we experience the state of optimal health, balance, and happiness.
