Ayurveda
in Vancouver
Welcome to shakti ayurveda.
We are providing a service to promote the education
and awareness of India’s ancient health
and medical wisdom, ayurveda. Ayurveda means
the knowledge or science of life. Originated
from the Vedas –
the source of India’s spiritual tradition,
dating back to more than 5,000 years ago.
Ayurveda acknowledges the uniqueness of each
individual. Employing a regimen of diet, herbs,
exercise, meditation, and purification, Ayurveda
provides the means for creating and maintaining
a lifestyle geared towards bringing humanity
into harmony and balance with our natural environment
and our higher selves.
Shakti refers to the creative energy that exists
in everyone and everything. Shakti is our inner
force. The ability to realize our greatest potential
in life. shakti ayurveda hopes
to inspire its students and clients to tap into
their inner source. To create their own personal
Ayurvedic recipe for health, happiness, and longevity.
Here at shakti ayurveda we
offer a variety of ayurvedic treatments to help
in maintaining a good and healthy life. An ayurvedic
consultation is always done beforehand to assess
the person's present state of health, followed
by advice and/or help with different treatments,
herbs, yoga, meditation, lifestyle changes or
by other means to bring the person back into
balance with their prakruti (constitution) and
hence good health. Here are some of the treatments
provided at shakti ayurveda:

At shakti ayurveda,
we aim to provide our students with a thorough
education in Ayurvedic healing modalities and medicine.
The nature of ayurveda requires training based
on traditional Ayurvedic theories as well as clinical
training. Also, in conjunction with theories and
practice of Ayurveda, we will cover the basic principles
of conventional western medical concepts like anatomy
and physiology.
Along with the courses we provide, shakti
ayurveda will host diverse weekend seminars
highlighting specific areas of interest within
Ayurveda. It is highly encouraged that students
who do the courses with us also take advantage
of the option to participate in the 2 weeks or
more hands on practical training or the option
to do some of the basic or advance training in
India. Arrangements will be fully organized by shakti
ayurveda in conjunction with Ayurvedic physicians. |
