What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is a 5000 year old tradition from India and translates as the ‘knowledge or science of life’. It is a comprehensive system of natural medicine based on the innate wisdom of nature. It shows us how the life-force functions everywhere in creation through the energy of the five elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether. Ayurveda is a simple and time tested approach which can show us how to rediscover a natural state of inner balance and radiant health in our body, mind and spirit. The key aspects of Ayurveda are bodywork, yoga & meditation, and lifestyle/nutritional counselling.
