Satvavajaya

These sessions allow for a compassionate client-centered dialogue where healing caused by physical or emotional pain is acknowledged through a series of questions. Through the student’s own realizations, mind/body techniques, and yoga and Ayurvedic philosophy, long-lasting transformation is possible. Some practitioners will use pranic (life force) healing methods in these sessions to facilitate the balancing of subtle pranic energies.

Sattva is the natural state of a balanced mind and Swastha is a balanced state of bodily health. You will meet with a clinician who specializes in Sattvavaja Chikitsa (Practices for Mind) or Ayurveda Yoga Chikitsa (Yoga Therapy). Yoga is part of Ayurveda and in these sessions, the focus will be on how to process undigested emotions, relieving stress, overcoming limiting beliefs, and gaining the ability to have better concentration, focus, and mental clarity. Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy techniques include counseling and active listening. Gross body techniques may include poses, restorative poses, or practices for the mind and subtle body such as pranayama, meditation, and mantra.

Cost: $120 for 60 min
Prerequisite: An initial consultation is required to book a Satvavajaya appointment.

Relaxing totally without effort, your nervous system can experience the parasympathetic state of relaxation and digestion. These calming and quieting sessions are for all levels and can help mitigate a vata imbalance (that shows up through a variety of symptoms including dryness of skin, hair, ears, lips, joints; bloating, gas, constipation, dehydration, weight loss; or restlessness/dizziness).
