It’s Indus Valley origins predate even Yoga. While Yoga adopts a psycho-spiritual approach to self-knowledge, Ayurveda uses a‍ ‍psycho-physiological approach.

The people of the Indus, which translates to “people of the moon,” protected and nourished this wisdom to prevent separation and illness in the first place.

As ignorance grew, Ayurvedic medicine came about as a result of both inner and outer conflict. An avoidance of our inner intelligence left us seeking externally for remedies and relief.

As Vedic books were destroyed during the various invasions of what is modern day India - Ayurveda became occult and hidden - creating more conflict and separation, both at the individual and collective level.

This is where we find ourselves today - in separation and experiencing suffering of all kinds.

The five elements - space, air, fire, water, and earth are deeply honored in its practice.

We’re all a unique mix of these elements. Balancing these requires a unique and individual approach.

It’s a method to live in alignment with who you are - a homecoming of sorts.

Health here means to be established in one’s self. To be in harmony with all that you are - elementally, temperamentally, and beyond.

To look within before seeking without.
