Knowledge Of Life

We are all part of nature. Like plants and the animals living in harmony with nature, we have the ability to utilize the laws of nature to live healthy and balanced lives. Ayurveda, the traditional holistic health care system of India, is an affordable and easy daily practice that brings your body and mind into balance to keep you healthy and centered.

The word Ayurveda is derived from Sanskrit and means knowledge of life. It acknowledges that what is good for one person might not be good for all people and that individual health can be achieved by applying self-care based on your nature. Living by your nature means taking your body's unique needs into consideration in all you do, from eating to exercising, and connecting with your deeper self by balancing your mind and emotions.

Ayurveda recognizes three main energies, Vata, Pitta and Kapha, that combine to form all things. In becoming aware of each of these energies within yourself, you can choose the activities, diet, lifestyle and sleeping regimen that will keep your mind and body in top condition.
