Ayurveda

Translated as The Science of Life, Ayurveda originates in India and mirrors most indigenous healing traditions from many cultures. Based on the idea that disease is due to an imbalance or stress in a person’s consciousness, Ayurveda encourages lifestyle interventions and natural therapies to regain a balance between the body, mind, spirit and environment.

Spring Cleanse

April 3- May 1st

The Ayurvedic approach to cleansing is an effective, natural, personalized, ancient method of emptying and resetting the digestive system to a healthy microbiome, bringing your mind gently back into balance. Techniques in the spring cleanse will include a special 3-7 day detox diet, followed by a juicing regimen, and ending with guidance on a diet that aligns with your unique constitution, supplemented by pure herbals and organic vegetable broth.

The Yoga Science method of cleansing focuses on emptying of regions and systems of the body upon which the Chakra rely to function and connect, to others and the universe. Kriya (internal cleansing) of the mind and body are accomplished with meditations, exposure to nature, postures, breathwork, relaxation techniques, and finally, a saltwater flush.

"Today is my last day of kitcheree. When I weighed myself this morning I was down 9 pounds but more importantly, my belly seems flatter. I’m still thinking about other foods but don’t seem to be craving things nearly as much." -Allison, Kalamazoo

Yoga Therapies for Depression & Anxiety

From a subtle feeling that bubbles beneath the surface, to outright panic – anxiety is a challenge that more than 30% of Americans struggle with daily – women much more than men. But we are not victims of an attack. Rather it is our attitude toward life events that becomes distorted, and when we repeat this distortion again and again, the results are held in the tissues of our bodies leading to a breakdown of functionality. Yoga and Ayurveda deals with anxiety from an understanding and applications from the 5 divisions of the human existence: body, mind, breath, intuition, and spirit. This workshop will give everyone a few tools to recognize, understand, and manage anxiety. It is appropriate for adults, and parents of children who struggle with frustration, self-control, shyness, stress, anger, and depression.
