1 DAY COURSE

The roots of our Perfect Health course lie deep within Eastern India, but have been tailored to be gently woven into our western day lives. Ayurveda is a 5,000-year-old system of natural healing that has its origins in the Vedic culture of India. Although suppressed during years of foreign occupation, Ayurveda has been enjoying a major resurgence in both its native land and throughout the world. Tibetan medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine both have their roots in Ayurveda. Early Greek medicine also embraced many concepts originally described in the classical Ayurvedic medicinal texts dating back thousands of years.

This course has been derived from the oldest healing system known as Ayurveda. Ayurveda is a philosophy of healing that balances the mind, the body, and the spirit. It balances each entity separately, but still recognizes that all three are connected. Ayurveda teaches us how to live in our most balanced states even through a pre existing condition, chronic state, or disease diagnosis, one can journey to experience a more balanced, meaningful & joyful life to sustain a mind-body at its balanced perfect health. Diet, Yoga, Meditation, Restoration, Detoxiﬁcation, Nutrition & Stress Management are essential for quality of life.
