What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is a traditional healing system and science from India dating back at least 5,000 years. This living body of wisdom uses many different modalities for healing, including using food as medicine, lifestyle changes, herbal remedies, bodywork, and extensive detoxification practices. In India, Ayurveda is practiced as a complete medical system with its own hospitals, treatment centers, and pharmacies that dispense herbal medicine. Here in the United States, Ayurveda is better known for its emphasis on preventative health, promoting a holistic lifestyle, and being a sister science to Yoga.

Ayurveda’s emphasis on cultivating a balanced state for mind, body, and spirit through diet and lifestyle changes makes it an accessible science for anyone wanting to improve their life.

Testimonials

  • “I was introduced to Ayurveda through yoga, and I thought - why not? Why do I have to lose for a healthier life? I’ve been working personally with Anjali for over 2 years and I’ve seen such a huge difference in my life! Every nugget of information that I learn about Ayurveda through my work with Anjali has made me curious to learn more. So when Anjali had brought up that she’s starting an Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor certification program, I naturally jumped on the opportunity to join it. I couldn’t be happier being in this program - diving deeper into Ayurveda, being part of the Ayurvedic community, and having the opportunity to help others that are looking to improve their lives! I highly recommend anyone that’s looking into Ayurveda to work with Anjali. She’s such a delight to work with!”

    - DARLENE

  • What a great experience this AWC training has been! I’m so grateful for the opportunity to study with Anjali. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable about this ancient tradition, she also makes the material feel very real and applicable to modern life. In addition, the guest instructors she brings in are phenomenal. I can’t wait to start practicing and share this amazing system of healing with others!

    - Former Student

  • It is evident that Anjali put a lot of thought and time into planning out the course material and classes. She is very knowledgeable and is eager to share that knowledge with her students. She is dedicated to her career and upholding the traditions of Ayurveda.

    - Former student

  • Anjali is a wonderful teacher. She is connected, gentle, and incredibly supportive. Her Ayurvedic knowledge and practice are vast, deep, and manifestly authentic. The programing was dynamic and adaptive, flowing with the needs of the students, and presented in an approachable and digestible format. Beyond the incredible amount of knowledge received, I also came to love and appreciate the weekly classes for community and calm. Anjali’s loving and serene nature infuses these sessions, providing deep connection as well as lasting education and purpose.

    - Former student

  • I also just want to say thank you so very much. Yesterday you mentioned how much things have changed in a year and that really would not have been possible without you guiding me and helping me do the hard work. I am so lucky to have connected with you and for all the time and emotion you have put into helping me do the hard work. Thank you from my whole heart ❤️

    - Client

  • Thank you for the retreat last weekend. Being a part of it felt like a positive culmination of some deeply challenging circumstances that led me here. It has been healing for both my relationship with my experience of Desi culture, and my relationship with the universe. I also appreciate the way you structure breaks.

    - Retreat attendee

  • Thank you for the tridoshic triumvirate wholehearted discussion… this is the perfect time to learn and share this vidya. My brain-mind 💖, my body-mind-hrdyam ❤️ and agni-mind ❤️‍🔥 is so simply well nourished…

    - Former student

  • My takeaways 🥡 food for thought are: connection with self: You are not your thoughts; we all have random thoughts (brain-mind). Connection to others: You are not your feelings or perceptions; you have emotions and bodily sensations (heart-mind). Connection to the environment, Nature: The body resides in the mind(s) so you gotta nourish yourself!

    - Former Student

  • Your mentorship, counseling, and guidance have been so healing and transformative for me over the past (almost) two years! I have sooo much respect for the work you are bringing into the world and the way you show up for others through your work. I feel incredibly grateful to be in a position to learn from you and work with you. I have benefited so much from my time in Madhya Way and from the scholarship that I was given that made it possible for me to attend. If there is any way I may be of support and give back to you or Madhya Way please don't hesitate to ask! I am here! “

    - Former mentee

  • It’s a totally an inside job (mind-heart-agni gut). The more we know and learn (#ayurvidya) the better we ALL are equipped to not only observe, acknowledge, but also facilitate homeostasis, heal ourselves (and our other heart connections)… now your three part check-in makes even more sense! Brilliant! 🤯 ❣️

    - Former Student

  • I could not be more grateful that I decided to start seeing you. It's improved my life exponentially.
