Know your body

Use food as medicine

Transform your health

What is Ayurveda?

In today’s world of marketing and fad diets it’s hard to know what’s going to help you to achieve the health and wellness you desire now and in the future. This is where we look upon what’s been proven, with or without “fad status”.

Ayurveda is a 3,000 year old system of traditional medicine that has lasted the test of time by teaching people how to use food as medicine to transform their lives. Native to the Indian subcontinent, yet a science whose principles are applicable globally, Ayurveda is derived from two words in Samskrita, āyus and veda meaning the knowledge of life. For those just beginning, Ayurveda promotes learning about your body type, using food and lifestyle to balance, and creating health as a way of being rather than a job. For more advanced students, Ayurveda is a lifestyle whose applications and remedies are endless.

One thing is for sure, Ayurveda is not a western one-size-fits-all approach, instead it requires learning about yourself and what you need to be healthy. Using the tools that Ayurveda provides, you can transform your health.

Our Mission

It is our mission to help individuals and communities on their path to greater wellness by sharing the traditional lifestyle and healing modalities of India. With a strong interest in sharing traditions authentically, we are a family-run program that prioritizes living and learning about the culture that Ayurvedic practices originate and thrive within. To do so, we have created a space at Setu that is infused with Indian cultural elements, we serve traditional Indian foods alongside western options, and all of our faculty members either live full-time in India, or have had significant experience traveling and studying in India.
