Ayurveda, the ancient body, mind and spiritual health system of India, directly translates as the “knowledge of life”. This  scientifically systematic system (much like Traditional Chinese Medicine - TCM) has at its’ foundation the concept that all things are created as a blend of the five elements Space, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. We, as humans, fit into the web of life both individually and collectively. To understand ourselves through the lens of Ayurveda, even to a small extent, helps us move through the world with increased health, harmony, and balance with ourselves and the world around us.

​
