Description

Harness the time-honoured practice and wisdom of Rasayana for optimal life-long health and well-being

We are all a little bit burnt out from the multiple demands of modern life. Instead of rushing through life and dealing with old age after it arrives, what if we had the wisdom to maintain optimal health throughout our lives?

Rasayana comprises the art of healthy ageing, and is a key principle of Ayurveda – an ancient holistic health system, often known as 'the sister science of yoga'. Far more than a passing wellness trend, Rasayana focuses on our mind, body, emotions, environment and relationships to support us in staying healthier for longer.

Ayurvedic practitioner Geeta Vara guides us through this dynamic approach to longevity, helping us to mature with grace in a simple and holistic way. Drawing on personal stories, client case studies and lessons from ancient sages and modern-day older generations, Vara teaches us how to incorporate simple principles into our life to rejuvenate our mind and body, including:

- Key Rasayana herbs, like Ashwagandha, to reduce stress, support immune function and boost energy
- Ayurvedic practices such as Abhyanga (daily oil massage) to nourish the skin
- Dietary habits to support digestion and detoxification
- Yoga and Pranayama (breathwork) to enhance flexibility, strength and mental clarity.

With a growing demand for a shift in our wellness paradigm, Rasayana is the perfect companion to finding true inner and outer well-being, for life.
