Align with optimum health through Ayurveda

Call for a 15 minute no-charge phone consult

Ayurveda can grow your yoga practice out of the Mat and into your Life.  Yoga students frequently remark that they want to remain in the balanced state at the end of  yoga practice, by using a combination of lifestyle, diet, herbs, meditation and intention based on Ayurvedic wisdom YOU CAN take this next step in health.

Balance your unique body, mind and spirit constitution with the universe to cultivate health and longevity through the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda. Ayurveda is literally the "science of life" often called the sister science of yoga.  True yoga therapy incorporates Ayurvedic healing principles by tailoring to the individual.  I invite you to deepen your personal health by using specifically designed Ayurvedic practices for your truest nature.

What people are saying about their cleanse:

"I wanted to say, thank you!! The cleanse we all did together was an incredible reset for my body and mind, and I can't tell you how glad I am that I did it. Re-entry into life outside of cleansing has been interesting, and I've had the impulse several times now to set up a consult with you. So I want to do that!"
    - Spring 2012 Cleanse participant Shivani

"Overall I'd say I'm feeling pretty good and clear, and that the program is pretty gentle so far. My body really likes having all the warm foods and warm water. And another big pot of yummy kitchery sits in my fridge  Thanks everyone for your willingness to join together and share this Ayurvedic cleansing adventure. I am so grateful to Supriya for inspiring and leading the cleanse and for everyone showing up to participate. "
