AYURVEDA
Ayurveda is the naturopathic science of life from India. It harmonizes the physical and emotional so that spiritual life can thrive. This beautiful, living tradition of self-care is an essential component of our practice at Jaya Kula.
The foundation of any authentic spiritual practice are the daily rituals that recalibrate our energy and divinize our lives. Whether you are busy raising a family, or sitting on a mountain, the Ayurvedic practices offered here are essential expressions of a full human life.
