About Ayurveda
Ayurveda teaches that each individual has the power to heal himself. Thus, this science offers the freedom to recover health by understanding the body and its needs. Ayurveda proclaims that the central principle of health is “balance.” It offers specific guidelines, practices, recipes and remedies to achieve it. These guidelines vary across the seasons, vary for each person,  and vary throughout your 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 good health. The ayurvedic lifestyle is based upon three things – routine, moderation and tuning into the nature rhythms of doshas and agni.

Nutrition is called “the great medicine” in Ayurveda. 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 iin connecting with the higher self.
