Mindfulness, Ayurveda & Yoga

Mindfulness-based approaches, which draw from the Buddhist tradition, are aimed at relieving the symptoms of psychological stress, negative mental states and physical pain using physical awareness and relaxation techniques.

Ayurveda is an ancient healing system originating over 5,000 years ago in India. Ayurveda teaches us to become more in-tune with our unique bodies and constitutions, thus allowing us to recognize and trust our special advantages and disadvantages and be more aware of imbalances when they begin. It teaches us how to live more harmoniously with our unique selves, the cycles of life, and its daily and seasonal routines, to bring balance to our mind and body.

Yoga therapy provides effective methods that include connecting the body and the mind to help to attain states of peace of mind and reduce anxiety and depression. It also provides coping mechanisms as well as many positive physical benefits in the form of relaxation that allow people suffering from internal stresses to reach a point of calm and peace.
