A complete manual with diagrams and instructions will be provided.

Chandra’s journey began with the practice of yoga, and her interest in this discipline led her to train as a yoga teacher in the Sivananda tradition. Yoga became her introduction to Ayurveda, and this age-old science deeply aroused her interest.

She began her apprenticeship in 2007 and went on to deepen her knowledge under the tutelage of Dr. Vishnu at the Sivananda Institute of Health in Kerala, India, as well as Dr. Anita Sharma in Montreal. Since then, Ayurvedic treatments have become her passion, inspiring her to share the benefits and well-being they bring.
