A complete manual with diagrams and instructions will be provided.

My name is Chandra. My journey began with the practice of yoga, and my interest in this discipline led me to train as a yoga teacher in the Sivananda tradition. Yoga was my introduction to Ayurveda. This age-old science aroused great interest in me. I began my apprenticeship in 2007. I went on to deepen my knowledge under the tutelage of Dr. Vishnu at the Sivananda Institute of Health in Kerala, India, and Dr. Anita Sharma in Montreal. Since then, Ayurvedic treatments have become a passion for me, which is why I like to share the benefits and well-being they bring.
