Not Your Normal Studio

Ayurveda is a complete health care system which addresses underlying imbalances, and helps us to rebuild and re-integrate our system using herbs, diet, and lifestyle change. In Ayurveda we can create a system specially designed to fit your needs and preferences.

Stress Relief

(Private Therapy Sessions)

Personal Application of the Ancient Strategies

Sometimes we want to get into the heart of the issue or tissue by working one-on-one. Sessions can consist of discussion, practice of asana (poses), relaxation, meditation, and strategizing. Basically, it is therapy with yoga as our modality. The ancient teachings of yoga guide us in preparing a practice suited to your needs and comfort level. Not all sessions involve poses, but they can. These sessions can be done in person or by phone or Skype. 

Chakra Svadyaya

(Private Therapy Sessions)

Human Development via Personal Exploration

Chakras are energy centers that link to the body. They are acknowledged by every culture and represent a clear developmental path to healing and discovery of your path of calling. Svadyaya means "self study" or study of the scriptures." This type of therapy is decided not psychotherapy, but rather the yoga tradition made real, practical, and very personal. It is a personal exploration through the chakra system within you.

Ayurvedic Wellness

Ayurveda offers a chance for you to gain an understanding of what is happening in your body, and how to harness the power of your own observations to make small changes that can have a big impact on your life. 

What's in a session: 

- Pulse assessment

- Review of pulse findings and discussion

- Creation of plan and start treatments and practices designed to bring the underlying functions of the body into balance.

Your Ayurvedic Practitioner has experience with how changes take place, and guides you to find greater meaning in what you are already observing.

You will learn what various signs and symptoms indicate, and how you can make little experiments give you the information you need to change your eating, routines and experience of life to feel better.

This relationship is supportive and can take you through the process into not just feeling better, but how to cultivate it moving forward. You begin to know the signs and what to do to address them in your own body. You will develop keen observation and know what to do with what you have discovered. 

How would you answer these questions?

1. How long have you been experiencing this problem? 

2. What would it mean to be able to reduce the struggle? 

3. How important is it for you to feel you can understand and eventually implement adjustments yourself? 

Ayurveda teaches a person to be able to eventually be able to make adjustments themselves.  Packages for three sessions or more comprehensive support are available. 

More information on packages and workshops coming soon.
