Heal Your SELF

Ayurveda and Yoga 

​

Ayurveda is the sister science to yoga and is often referred to as the Science of Life. We are each made up of a unique constitution of the three Doshas, which provide us with our greatest strengths and greatest challenges as we move through life. Each Dosha exhibits and holds attributes which have specific activities and structures in the body and the mind. With regular and mindful observation, we learn to understand their activity and presence in our body-mind. When a Dosha is in excess, or disharmony, certain conditions may occur. The goal is to provide healing activities and exercises, natural substances and external stimuli which will restore the natural balance. We will begin with a questionnaire to determine your predominant Dosha, and then explore all three Doshas combined with yoga asanas and essential oils to bring healing to your body.
