Ayurveda

THE SCIENCE OF LIFE

Ayurveda (eye-urr-vay-duh) is a complete healing system developed over 5,000 years ago in ancient India. It is focused on daily awareness and the expansion of consciousness. Ayurveda gives you the tools to be healthy using the natural intelligence of your body. It offers a lifetime of exploration, and pairs beautifully with your meditation and yoga discipline.

If you consult Wikipedia, it will tell you that Ayurveda is a pseudoscience. Yet, it has been in practice for far longer than any of our modern disciplines. In many ways, our laboratory understanding is just now starting to catch up to this ancient wisdom. You can think of Ayurveda as a personalized toolkit for a healthier, happier existence.

Discovering Your Dosha

EARTH | WATER | FIRE | AIR | SPACE

Ayurveda begins with you. As human beings, we are all born with a unique makeup. The five elements of the natural world combine to form all that we know, including your physical body. This special recipe is called your dosha, and it is the trailhead of your Ayurvedic journey.

Once you have found your dosha, the doors of Ayurveda are open to you. Using this information, you’ll start to make discisions that suit your body from a fundamental perspective. As your awareness of self expands through meditation and yoga, Ayurveda provides the roadmap to use this mindfulness to align yourself with nature.

This wisdom helps you make better choices in all areas. Everything in your life, from nutrition to mental activity, is affected by your dosha. Ayurveda is vast and it can be daunting (and unadvised) to apply all of it at once. However, even subtle adjustments to the daily routine can yield massive results.
