Ayurveda
It is pronounced AYE-YOUR-VAY-DA. It comes from the combination of ayur, meaning life, and veda, meaning knowledge. Literally, we are studying the knowledge of life—how to live life in the best possible way for the best possible outcomes. Ayurveda is considered to be humanity’s most ancient healing science and is a mix of oral and written instruction, philosophy, mythology, spirituality, and scientific knowledge. Yoga, which you may practice in the park, temple, or hot yoga room, is rooted in the science of Ayurveda. The beauty of Ayurveda is that it was as relevant to a woman of ancient India as to the modern lady.
Ayurveda is about cultivating the ability to awaken our innate power and lead a healthy, balanced life that doesn’t sacrifice our natural sensual pleasures.
A NOTE FROM JOHNNA
Hi Friend!
I’m so glad you are here. I want you to know how much Ayurveda has touched my life. From giving me morning and evening rituals that center me in my power and ground me to teaching me about my own ancestry and the powerful + mystical that was already inherent in my family of origin. I can tell you about my first hands-on Ayurveda practice, which nurtured and grounded me in self-confidence and built my self-esteem. Who would have thought a sweet little self-oil massage practice called Abhyanga would profoundly change my perspective? The word Abhyanga can be defined in two parts: abhi means towards or in the direction of, and anga means limb or body part. Another way of saying it is, “I am pouring my attention and affection back toward me.”. And what the ancients knew and we feel is that it heals and is therapeutic mentally, emotionally, and physically. Simply from applying warm herbal oils from head to toe.
I want to tell you about these teachings and so much more for your health and joy and your clients, friends, and students. I’ve studied these practices for over 20 years, and I know my community needs these exact teachings right now. Feel the call, and take on the leadership role in your community, bringing others back to wholeness, calm-power, and joy.
Thank you for trusting me to be your guide; I am here to uplift you, inspire you, and connect you to these timeless teachings.
Loving you,
Johnna
