What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda deals with how to live a healthy, balanced life. It is a traditional, holistic system of health science from India, which has been practiced for over 5,000 years. Ayurveda seeks to restore the natural balance and state of health to mind, body & soul. Through its body-mind-soul approach, Ayurveda has been found to significantly improve several chronic health conditions. Ayurveda focuses on living in tune with nature. By connecting mind, body and soul, Ayurveda strives to improve harmony and happiness in an individual. Ayurveda emphasizes the maintenance of good health through a balanced daily routine, seasonal regime, and a wholesome diet. Ayurveda considers each person to be unique due to his or her unique mind-bodysoul constitution (Prakriti). Ayurveda is not just a system of alternative medicine, but is actually an ancient science of health. A life lived in tune with Nature and Ayurvedic principles is invariably a happy, healthy and balanced one. Learn a new way to look at life and health!

What is Ashtanga Yoga?
Ashtanga yoga is a form of yoga developed in Mysore, India by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, designed to detoxify and align the body. It is preferred by those looking for a balanced program between exercise for the body, breathing and meditation for the mind, and relief from stress and pain. Yoga benefits body, mind, and spirit. We promote the educational aspect of the practice and give students access to where these ideas have come from, in each class we teach and share the philosophies of yoga. We teach to accommodate every body during class no matter what your level of yoga experience—individual attention will be given to each person.
