Ayurveda, the wisdom of life offers a proven guide for a life of happiness, vitality, love and purpose.
What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda, the 5,000 year old healing system founded in ancient India, is derived from the Sanskrit words ‘Ayus’ meaning ‘Life’ and ‘Veda’ meaning ‘Wisdom’.
Ayurveda, the wisdom of life offers a proven guide for a life of happiness, vitality, love and purpose.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, human beings are viewed as being in constant dynamic exchange with the energy and information of the environment. Health is a state of vibrant balance in which all the layers of one’s life are integrated. Ayurveda is Personalised, Preventative and Practical.
Ayurveda offers individualised practices to balance our mind-body personalities, known as Doshas. The essence of Ayurveda teaches us that everything within nature (including our bodies and our minds) consist of 5 elements; Space, Air, fire, water and earth. All of these elements are mirrored within our bodies as well as the environment surrounding us.
The Doshas or, Mind-body personalities are differing combinations of these elements and are always active and playing within us and around us. Just as the weather changes, so do our bodies and our minds.
