A 5,000 year old healing modality from India, the goal of Ayurveda is to bring us back to our constitution and restore balance. Ayurveda looks at the whole of who we are — body, mind and spirit. Through Ayurveda, we can get back to our true nature and experience the state of optimal health and happiness. You'll learn to add gentle routines to your life, and herbs and spices to your food that will work best for your dosha. Take part in a fun and interactive 3-hour workshop, or indulge in a full 3-day or 5-day retreat to immerse yourself in the routines and experiences.

More about Ayurveda

Ayurveda is the traditional healing modality of the Vedic culture from India that has stood the test of time. Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word that literally translates as “the wisdom of life” or “the knowledge or science of longevity.” The wise seers and sages of the time intuitively understood the physiology and workings of the mind-body-spirit long before the advent of modern medicine.

Ayurveda has been passed down through the centuries as a complete healing system, evolving to meet the needs of the time, and yet remaining committed to its core principles. Various cultures have drawn upon the ideas of Ayurvedic medicine, and it continues to thrive in both the East and the West.

Ayurveda’s fundamental approach to well-being is that you must reach your unique state of balance in your whole being — body, mind, and spirit. Ayurveda views the world in light of three constitutional principles: vata, pitta, and kapha.

The goal of Ayurveda is to bring us back to our true constitution and restore balance in our bodies and minds.
