Ayurveda - brings to mind glories of the past, of legends, of nature cure in its effectiveness - successfully practiced for centuries. Ayurveda is the knowledge of life, dealing with factors conducive to happiness, probably making it the earliest medical science having a positive concept of health.

Ayurveda is one of the oldest systems of medicine known to man, dealing with both the preventive and curative aspects of life in a most comprehensive way. Today, medical scientists, the world over, are researching Ayurvedic remedies for lifestyle related diseases, degenerative and psychosomatic disorders.

Ayurdhama is a journey. A journey to the glorious past… recapturing the essence and wisdom of the sages… where vedas recorded the findings of the wise physicians with many preparations to help overcome certain ailments. Today, using the inherent principles of nature to bring an individual back into equilibrium with his true self is what Ayurdhama's vedic healing is all about.

Yoga - an ancient Indian practice, dating back to 2500 BC (possibly even earlier) - is a scientific system which brings good health, happiness, and a greater sense of ‘self'. In Yoga , the body and mind are linked to create a state of internal peace and integration, bringing the individual from a state of separation to a self-unity that is flexible, accepting and whole.

Yoga has been recognized and practiced for thousands of years in India as a complement to Ayurvedic medicine and total healing. In fact, Yoga and Ayurveda belong to the same Vedic philosophical milieu.
