WHAT IS AYURVEDA? (ay-yur-vay-duh
-
Ayurveda is a 5,000 year-old health and healing system founded in ancient India. It comes from the Sanskrit words 'ayus' meaning life and 'veda' meaning wisdom. ​
-
From an Ayurvedic perspective, human beings are not viewed as mere thinking physical machines, but rather as fields of intelligence in 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.​​​​​
-
Ayurvedic practices aim to nip illness in the bud before it can flourish and rejuvenate and nourish the body helping us to maintain good health and vitality.
-
In contrast to Western medical science with its focus on symptomatic treatment, Ayurveda addresses the root cause of illness.
-
It offers a holistic and individualised approach to health since each person has a unique mind-body composition.​​​
-
Ayurvedic practices teach that the more we can sync with our true selves and the natural cycles of nature, the greater the chances for optimal health.
The modern world is filled with practices that affect us - physically, mentally and spiritually. From the food we eat, to the work we do, our relationships, daily routines and sleep patterns - everything is affected by what we consume and how we digest and process our sensory experiences.
Since 95% of chronic illness can be managed through lifestyle practices, having an Ayurvedic toolkit to hand to correct an imbalanced body-mind is therefore invaluable. ​

five great elements
AYURVEDIC PHILOSOPHY
​Everything in the Universe—including you—is composed of five elements: earth, water, fire, air, and ether.​
​
-
Each person embodies a blend of these elements, leading to a unique mind-body profile.
​
-
These profiles, known as doshas, include:
-
Vata: Air + Space
-
Pitta: Fire + Water
-
Kapha: Water + Earth
​​
-
Doshas naturally ebb and flow with lifestyle choices, seasonal shifts, and the aging process.
​
-
When in balance, you feel energized and optimistic; when imbalanced, you may experience anxiety, stress, and fatigue.
​
-
Imbalances can manifest as physical and emotional challenges such as low immunity and chronic illness.
-
Mindful practices and intentional lifestyle choices help restore equilibrium and foster lasting wellbeing.
​
-
The aim is to recognise when you’re out of balance and to provide practical tools and knowledge to return to a state of homeostasis.
-
Embrace Ayurveda to cultivate optimal health, inner peace, and a harmonious connection with the world around you.​
