Ayurveda is the 5,000 year old wisdom of healthy living. It is a way of natural healing and emphasizes maintaining the harmony of body-mind-spirit through diet, life style and natural herbs. Student interns and supervisors are not licensed physicians, nor are Ayurvedic services licensed by the state. In Ayurveda the emphasis is not on disease diagnosis but on maintaining the balance of the individual’s constitutional nature, or Dosha, so Ayurvedic treatments are never one size fits all, but custom tailored for each individual.

*Your visit is closely supervised by Center for Ayurveda and Yoga Study faculty, Ann Wagoner. Ann is an Ayurvedic Practitioner, CAP, from Mount Madonna Institute and an E-RYT-500 Yoga Alliance certified yoga instructor.

**This special is only valid through March 31st, 2019. Sessions can be paid for separately.
