Program

The Ayurvedic lifestyle is based on three things:

Routine

Performing healthy practices at the same time each day embeds them in your lifestyle. Your body will know when to prepare itself to wake up, digest food, and go to sleep. Regularity in your routines is essential. All of the body’s processes will benefit.

Moderation

Provides balance to your life and prevents overindulgence. Most commonly, the road to ill health begins with a lapse in judgment. Even though you know better, you frequently choose to make unhealthy choices, most often in pursuit of sense pleasures. This might be overloading the stomach with an excessive meal and disrupting your sleep cycle by staying up too late and sleeping during the day or suppressing natural urges to cry, yawn, or even go to the bathroom.

Tuning in to the natural rhythm of the doshas and Agni

They naturally fluctuate during the day, by season, and across phases of life.

Bring balance to your life.
