Ayurvedic Studies With Vijaya Stern In San Diego

Online, May 13, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Ayurveda is known as the "Science of Life". In ancient India, Ayurveda and its sister sciences, yoga and meditation, were the means for individuals to insure a healthy body and mind to allow for the pursuit of their spiritual practices.

Today the principals of Ayurveda are being employed by many people who seek to find balance and healing through its specific diet, herbal and life style prescriptions.

Students will become aware of how Ayurveda can keep the body/mind healthy, and assist in achieving a keen awareness of the subtle bodies through the experience of the denser physical body. Yoga teachers and health practitioners will find Ayurveda principles a valuable tool in supporting the health and well-being of their clients and students.
