                                                  Many peoples’ definition of health is simply “ Many peoples’ definition of health is simply “a state of well-being free from disease.”⁠
⁠
But this is just one part of health’s full picture.⁠
⁠
Ayurveda describes a true state of good health as svastha, meaning “established in the soul.”⁠
⁠
In other words, Ayurveda is not just interested in you getting the “perfect body,” killer washboard abs or seeing a certain number when you step on the scale.⁠
⁠
It’s biggest concern is you becoming who you truly are.⁠
⁠
When we are in svastha, we rest in the unchanging center of who we are, which makes us feel good. We feel at home and at ease in our bodies.⁠
⁠
We created Shakti Ayurveda School to honor this fuller picture of health—a picture that yes, includes radiant physical health, but that also includes an authentic relationship with our own personal understanding of the Divine and a true sense of knowing who we are beneath all of our superficial layers.⁠
