Ayurveda Yoga considers the body, senses, mind and soul are interconnected. When one part does not function to its optimal capacity imbalance is created which is the main cause of disease.
This definition of health is currently endorsed by the World Health Organisation who view health as the physical, mental, social and spiritual wellbeing of people and not merely the absence of disease.
Aligning Health works principally with the philosophy of Ayurveda Yoga. This science works on the understanding of elemental energies combining to form distinctive characteristics within each individual. When these become imbalanced, disease occurs. Ayurveda Yoga works to realign this imbalance at the root cause for proper health maintenance and disease prevention.
We make our course applicable to the West. Based on traditional knowledge of Ayurveda, we understand how to apply the practices and principles of Ayurveda to make it come alive for our students and our clients. This is what makes us different as a training school.
