The Ayurvedic approach to health and wellness dates back over 5000 years with its roots in ancient India. It suggests that health is not just the absence of disease; it’s a vibrant balance and integration of the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of our lives.
From the Ayurvedic perspective, every person is born with aspects that mirror the natural elements: air, ether/space, fire, water, and earth. These elements are expressed in every individual's mind and body in various proportions and are called doshas. Identify your unique make-up of nature's elements is and how to make more nourishing choices and create a harmonious connection with the world “out there”.

The ancient secrets and natural approaches of Ayurveda can be easily integrated into your active lifestyle and you’ll make more nourishing choices, achieve the healing and vibrancy you desire, and experience the transformation you seek. You'll learn to:
- Identify your Ayurvedic constitutional mind/body type –your dosha - and imbalances which might be present.
