About Ayurveda:
Ayurveda is an elemental science, offering a framework of holistic healing which connects the individual to the qualities and rhythms of nature. Ayurveda teaches us that the five great elements of ether, air, fire, water and earth are present within the world at large, as well as in our bodies. These elements have innate qualities, which we can learn to understand in order to create balance in our bodies and minds. The teachings of Ayurveda offer insight on how we can utilize day to day practices and dietary choices in order to bring the elements and their qualities back into a state of balance.
