Ayurveda and Wellness

Ayurveda Programs

Ayurveda literally translates as ‘science of life’ or ‘knowledge of life’ and has its foundation in the Vedas. Ayurveda is an ancient system of wholistic living, which was transmitted by the sages thousands of years ago. It is also based in direct perception, intuition, experience and practice. Ayurveda emphasizes the unity of spirit, mind, emotions and physical body.

Ayurveda sees the universe as a manifestation of consciousness. The world we experience is seen as the physical result of subtle forces at play. Universal energy and universal matter are intertwined and experienced in our very being; every thought, experience and action.

Since Ayurveda and Wellness are synonymous, the Yoga Ranch is committed to offering programs which support our guests in their healing journey.
