Ayurveda

An Integrated Approach to a Balanced Life

Natural rhythms are challenging in today’s whirlwind of life. Emotions arise in reactionary responses, our schedule is too busy to spend time in nature, work is demanding and consuming.

When was the last time you experienced vitality? How often do you take time to nurture your mind and spirit and care for your body in a healthful way? Stress takes its toll and perhaps overwhelms you…

The Science of Life

Ayurveda is an ancient healing system that utilizes a holistic approach to attaining and maintaining health. Every one of us has a fundamental make-up that constitutes our basic nature.

When our lives become out of balance, we have unwelcome tendencies that can by corrected through various means such as diet, movement, spending time in nature and other balancing activities.

What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is one of the sister sciences to Yoga. The Yoga tradition is an ancient philosophy that links or unites mind, body, and spirit. The practice of yoga will lead to increased happiness and contentment in your life.

How does it work?

Like yoga, Ayurveda seeks to help move our bodies toward increased happiness and contentment. Practicing yoga and Ayurveda promotes a balanced life, away from habitual patterns that cause us to suffer.

Despite the desire to be happy and experience contentment, we often find ourselves in a cycle that seems never-ending.

Combining yoga and Ayurveda changes that. Your life flows. You begin to feel better, more balanced.

• Your mind is clear and you experience restful awareness.
• Your body is comfortable.
• Your spirit is serene and joyful.
• You have good sleep.
• You awaken early, refreshed, and in eager anticipation of the day.
• Your appetite is for wholesome, freshly prepared meals.
• You are well-hydrated and your digestion is easy and regular.
• Your weight is evenly distributed.
• You are at peace in your mind and you perform meaningful work that brings you joy.
• Your relationships are gratifying and fulfilling.

The Wisdom of Ayurveda

Ayurveda recognizes we are inextricably connected to nature. When the principles are applied, they bring about health and vitality. The lifestyle recommendations are designed to link our daily life to daily, seasonal, and life-stage rhythms, working with nature. Instead of overriding our natural tendencies, we harmonize with natural flow.

Ayurveda literally means science or wisdom of life.

Yoga, Meditation, and Ayurveda together help you learn to pay attention to the signals your body is telling you when you are out of balance.

• Yoga provides for balance, stability, and flexibility in your body and mind.
• Meditation stills the mind-chatter and allows the mind to rest periodically.
• Ayurveda incorporates daily and seasonal rhythms to bring harmony and health into your life.

Ayurveda is for everyone seeking a simple, direct route to a healthier, happier life based on natural principles.

How can learning about Ayurveda help me?

Have you ever searched for the gems of life-wisdom?  Perhaps you have longed to find the ‘owners-manual’ for your body and your health?

Ayurveda provides guidance for living a healthy, balanced life!

Balance is a moving target that requires awareness of the fundamental building blocks of nature. Three of those building blocks are called doshas. Each of us has a unique combination of doshas that, when properly balanced, promotes peace of mind and well-being. 

A good place to start is with a daily routine and a simple diet. Add in movement such as yoga or walking in nature. Try meditation for a few minutes, once or twice a day.

Ayurveda is designed to guide you toward vitality and away from dis-ease!
