A calm, clear head with a kind, strong heart is one way to spot a sattvic person. When the mind of such a person informs the body of natural joy, lightness, energy, stability, and a deep sense of contentment, then we know the body is primed to experience a state of Soma.

Join Kim Valeri Povey to learn about how the food we eat, the lifestyle routines we adopt, and the mindset we cultivate can bring us to a state of bliss.

Ayurveda is the science of balance, longevity, and homeostasis. Nature maintains an intrinsic order, function, and structure in all things. This hierarchical order compensates for misalignments by creating conditions that force us back towards harmony.

So why is there distress and disease? We fall into a state of separation, fear, anxiety, and tension when we do not connect to the innate powers within ourselves which guide our life force. All we need to do is remove the obstacles and let nature find its balance.

Join Kim Valeri Povey to learn how to remove obstacles and bring order to your mind-body disturbances.

Yoga and Ayurveda are both rooted in Vedic philosophy. While they are often practiced separately, they exist in harmony. They were never meant to be separated because together, they represent a complete family of healing disciplines.

Ayurveda rejuvenates the body/mind, while Yoga purifies the mind/body. Yoga aims to calm the mind and establish longevity through preserving body and breath while raising spiritual consciousness. Ayurveda aims to prevent disease through food sustenance, lifestyle activities, herbs, and by having balanced senses to inform our perceptions.

Yoga and Ayurveda work together to achieve these mutual goals and keep us in balance with humanity and our natural living world. Join the discussion with Kim Valeri Povey about how the two siblings come together in our daily lives - Education Director, Ayurvedic Practitioner, and Ayurvedic Yoga Therapist.

Ayurveda teaches us to discern wisely and make choices accordingly. While helpful habit change is for the best, transitions to evolve these habits are often difficult. Human nature is usually wired to resist change and it is beneficial to focus not only on what drives behaviors but also to understand what disrupts them.

Gaining control of disrupting obstacles through Ayurvedic psychology reveals how negative, hurtful memories are tagged to experiences that get anchored in our neurology. When we focus on strategies that overcome obstacles such as perfectionism, procrastination, and other addictive tendencies, we can cultivate our actual desires and make changes for the better.

Join Kim Valeri Povey, Education Director, Ayurvedic Practitioner, and Ayurvedic Yoga Therapist to learn more.

Health messages about a healthy diet can sometimes stigmatize negative feelings. Has the word "diet" lost its deeper meaning: "to nourish"? Disordered choices to restrict food and other behaviors can be detrimental to an individual's health. However, Ayurvedic Health Counseling, diet, and lifestyle choices are routinely recommended.

What is an Ayurvedic diet plan? What is the deeper meaning of sustenance and nourishment?

Join Kim Valeri Povey, Education Director, Ayurvedic Practitioner, and Ayurvedic Yoga Therapist, to learn how individual constitutions (dosha), the six rasas (tastes), and the 20 qualities of nature (guna) inform an individual on how to make choices that support the nourishment of mind and body.
