Ayurveda Educational Services at Stella Luna
Ayurveda, a science and philosophy born and nurtured in India, teaches that each individual has the power to heal themself. Thus, this science offers the freedom to recover health by understanding the body and its needs. Ayurveda education discusses that the central principle of health is “balance.” It offers specific guidelines and practices to achieve this balance. These guidelines vary across the seasons, can differ for each person, and also change throughout one’s lifespan.
The four aspects of the body – doshas (body humors), dhatus (tissues), malas (wastes), and agni (digestion) need to be kept in balance in order to maintain proper health. Ayurveda teaches that a healthy lifestyle is based upon three concepts – Moderation, Routine, and Tuning-In to the natural rhythms of doshas and agni.
Ayurveda teaches that a wholesome, well-balanced diet is the foundation of health, strength and happiness for both mind and body. Yoga, being the sister science to Ayurveda, helps in not only attaining the goal of a fit body but also in connecting with the higher self.

Ayurvedic Educational Practices Offered at Stella Luna

- Shirodhara involves pouring herbal oil on the forehead for relaxation.
- Shiroabhyanga encompasses the artful application of herbal oils combined with delicate relaxation techniques targeting the head, neck, and shoulders to facilitate a profound sensory experience and promote overall well-being.
- Ayurvedic Padabhyanga – an ayurvedic experiential demonstration including the manipulation of pressure points on the foot with a traditional ayurvedic oil blend
- Nasya is very effective for clearing the nasal passages (think nettie pot). An herbal oil is administered through the nasal cavity in this process.
