Cultivate vibrant health and a clear mind with the wisdom of Ayurveda

The ancient yogis of India recognized long ago that "we are what we eat" and devised a system of guidance to promote the most harmonious state of mind and body.

The foundation of sattva is the idea of non-harming - namely, vegetarianism where food is naturally grown, free of harmful pesticides, chemicals, hormones, irradiation and, in our modern day, GMOs.

If you feel you need more healing balance in life and desire a happy, clear and peaceful mind, a sattvic orientation can help.
