Join Valerie for an Intro to Ayurveda lunch and presentation at Ashtanga Yoga Long Beach this August 15th! 

If you want to learn more about Ayurveda, here is your chance to taste one of the most iconic dishes in Ayurveda and learn about the principles that govern Ayurvedic wellness:

Originating in India over 5,000 years ago, Ayurveda is a system of healing that restores harmony to one's body, mind, and spirit. Translated as the Wisdom of Life, Ayurveda provides us with the pathway towards living life to its fullest potential. Relevant especially in this current climate of stress and disease exposure, the Ayurvedic lifestyle is one that builds the strength and resilience to withstand difficult challenges.
