Ayurveda

Ayurveda, which literally means, “knowledge of life and longevity”, is the traditional medicine of India and originated there over 5,000 years ago. It is an effective path to awakening our inner wisdom that heals, transforms, and prompts universal peace. Ayurveda emphasizes re-establishing balance in the body through diet, lifestyle, yoga, and body cleansing. It brings health of the mind, body, and spirit.

Yoga for Living is honored to offer the following in support to awaken this knowledge that is already within you.

We also offer:

• Dance & Movement classes and events
• Special Events & Workshops
• Yoga Classes & Therapies

The Power of Silence… A Women's Retreat

Saturday May 12, 2pm–6pm. $120.

Sunday October 7, 2pm–6pm. $120.

Pre-registration required. Places are limited to six women.

Finding a quiet space in which to retreat is almost impossible in this world. It is critical for our overall wellbeing to immerse into a place of silence, often and without guilt, on a regular basis. Only in the silence can we discover the secrets of our true inner knowing.

Bask in the space of quietude as we create the Silent Space in which participants can immerse themselves through the grassroots rituals of Ayurveda for Women's Health.

• Be nurtured with a therapeutic Ayurvedic treatment
• Serene yoga studio filled with Beauty and Silence
• Private sanctuary spaces for rest and quiet
• No talking, no videos, no sounds of traffic, no cell phones, no iPods or Blackberries
• Therapists maintain silence in the application of Ayurvedic treatments and participants choose from a variety of healing stations to process and discover the power of silence through contemplation, meditation, journaling, resting in relaxation, art therapy or writing
• Herbal teas and nourishing food offered in Silent Conscious Eating experiences
• Grinding of spices awakens our own power to heal

Testimonials:

• "Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are all such beautiful people. I feel so fortunate to have you in my life! Peace."
• "I loved the no talking. It forced me to take the time I needed and reflect. This is a wonderful practice that I will continue."
• "What an incredible day!!! It was just what I needed. The past few weeks have been pretty difficult for me. At times I felt like it was me against the world. I felt a major melt down coming. Today reminded me to take time out for myself. I too need the nurturing that I am always giving to my family and others in need. If I give a little to myself I will have a lot more to give to others."
