Ayurveda and Yoga Therapy

​

Ayurveda, often called “the science of life,” is yoga’s sister discipline and one of the world’s oldest systems of natural healing. Rooted in ancient India, it views each person as a unique combination of body, mind, and spirit, shaped by the elements and the rhythms of nature. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, Ayurveda seeks to restore balance and harmony across all levels of being.

​

Ayurveda reminds us that well-being is not ‘one size fits all.’ What nourishes one person may deplete another, and what you need in one season of life may change in the next. In the context of Yoga Therapy, this means you’ll receive practices that honour your individuality, from movement and breath-work to simple lifestyle shifts that align with your natural rhythms.

​

At its heart, Ayurveda teaches us to live in harmony with ourselves and the world around us. Combined with Yoga Therapy, it offers a holistic pathway to greater balance, resilience, and vitality in daily life.
