The ancient science of healing now comes to Santhosa Yoga and Meditation Centre. Ayurveda is the science which helps to attain health and thereby increase lifespan.
This healing system was discovered by ancient sages or rishis who have studied the physiology of humans in great depth in their own time.
This treatment is centuries old and hasn’t changed since the time it began.
Derivation of the word Ayurveda:
The word Ayurveda is derived from two words “Ayu” and “Veda”. The word Ayu means ‘life’ and Veda means ‘knowledge’, hence Ayurveda is that which gives complete knowledge regarding life.
The science of life is called Ayurveda. It is worth the commitment to embark on this journey and understand the science of life from its roots.
It’s unique in this sense as the treatment is aligned with the universal laws of nature which are eternally true.
To get to the source so that whatever it is can be reached at the root level and treated from there onwards. It’s a holistic approach and a very slow and gradual process.

Ayurveda is the sister limb to Yoga. In reality they both go hand in hand.
