Yoga helps with conditioning a stronger and flexible body; manage and alleviate chronic pain and migraine; sleep and breathe better. Vinyasa Wellness practice is influenced by vinyasa and ashtanga traditions: vibrant flows of integrating physical poses with steady breathing. Each class session is uniquely crafted working toward a final pose, focus on one chakra, or a complete body emphasis, but always driving to cardiovascular and strength building in harmony with breathwork. Ayurvedic philosophies are also tied into each session, to enhance the approach to wellness. Vinyasa Wellness challenges your body to become powerful, develop stamina and improve your overall physical health.
A regular yoga practice helps boost mental clarity, sharpen concentration, improves the mood, decreases anxiousness, increases mindfulness, and more! Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras define asana as a “steady, comfortable posture”. Every yoga posture should be steady, sturdy and with a sense of ease, leading into the final pose of sitting comfortably still, which is attainable when the body and mind are in congruence. Vinyasa Wellness sessions offer dynamic, energetic flows with intention to finally sit in silence, embracing the stillness in mind, achieved through meditation and breathing techniques. Yogi practitioners leave with a quiet and rejuvenated mind state, ready to tackle the day with renewed energy. Vinyasa Wellness sessions tie in a mental practice to the physical sequences, to help tackle emotional and life challenges and to establish a placid sense of being.
When the body is at ease and the mind is still, you are ready to cultivate awareness and mindfulness into your practice and everyday life. Moving through the yoga postures with awareness engages you into diving into learning about yourself: the different ways you act, react, likes, dislikes on and off the mat. When you ignite awareness, you alter your mind to vibrate as a keen observer which translates into how you live your life and how you interact with others. There is a metamorphosis from always doing to taking time out to just be and cherish the moment.
OUR JOURNEY
Nature has been the singular most healing force in my life since childhood. I am blessed to harness her gifts for my own benefits, my students’, and now for you. Combining the best ingredients, centuries-old Ayurvedic wisdom, positive intentions, and small-batch creation, these unique formulas are the result of thousands of years of knowledge, and a lifetime of my own personal research and application.
A Natural Foundation, Years in the Making
My journey to Ayurvedic products grew out of a love nature. Early morning walks I took for years became the keystone bolstering my yogic and Ayurvedic lifestyle. My love for flowers and plants eventually fed my keen interest in healing through aromatherapy. I began by creating formulas for my own personal use, perfecting and experimenting with them for improved results. I have studied and worked with essential oils for more than twenty years- their uplifting aroma has been a hallmark of my home and yoga studio. Essential oils are extremely potent oils that not only smell good but have antiviral, antibacterial, and antiiflammatory properties- through the right synergy their efficacy is significantly enhanced to support mental and physical well being.
In addition to the essential oils, all the products I offer are those I still regularly use myself, and have been perfecting for decades. Soon enough, these salves became popular with my family, friends, and students. And now I offer them, for the first time, to you: Confident in the long-term benefits reported by my students, I decided to make these excellent formulas available to a wider circle of discerning men and women who sense the power of plants and value self-improvement.
Hand-Prepared, Infused with Positivity
Each product is unique, hand-prepared personally by me in small batches, guaranteeing the freshness and quality essential for optimal results. While I could have outsourced the excellent proprietary recipes to others to manufacture, it is my strong belief that anything we prepare with joy and attention is imbued with positive energy. Mixing herbs and blending oils is very meditative for me and I thoroughly enjoy creating these with intention. Additionally, I am blessed to allocate a good part of proceeds towards charity, furthering the positive energy paid forward by these formulations.
The Best Ingredients, Harvested with the Best Methods
The Ayurvedic products- Golden Milk Mix and Gut Restore - have been carefully formulated in consultation with two senior Ayurvedic practitioners in India. Their ingredients are procured from the reputable Ajmal Dawakhana. They follow stringent measures to safeguard quality control. A few herbs not available locally are sourced from India.
The essential oils used in aromatherapy products are sourced directly from distillers in Europe and the USA. These essential oils are steam-distilled, keeping the therapeutic plant properties intact as opposed to cheaper essential oils that are extracted using hexane - a solvent that is not only an irritant but can cause headache, nausea and inflammation. (This method is more prevalent in India and Pakistan as it gets more yield.)
It is my sincere hope that you benefit from these products and enjoy using them as much as I do!
