Frequently Asked Questions

Vedic wellness draws from traditional Indian systems of knowledge that view wellbeing through the relationship between the body, mind, daily life and individual nature. At YuvedaLife, Ayurveda provides the primary framework, complemented where appropriate by yoga, breathwork, meditation and mantra. Vedic astrology (Jyotish) is available as a separate consultation.

Ayurveda means "knowledge of life" (ayur = life, veda = knowledge). It is a traditional system from India and a sister tradition to yoga. It looks at wellbeing through your individual constitution and offers guidance on food, daily and seasonal routines, and lifestyle.

At YuvedaLife, Ayurveda is used for wellness education and lifestyle guidance, not medical care.
