What is an Ayurveda De-Stress Program?

Stress has become almost a constant resident of our hectic life in today's world. Whether it stems from work stress, emotional stress, unsuitable lifestyle patterns, or the amount of digital exposure, incessant stress stealthily erodes our physical well-being, emotional stability, and mental clarity.
Ayurveda, the ancient science of life and longevity, has a tried, holistic solution to dealing with stress—not caving in to it, but redirecting it. Ayurvedic stress relief is not a day's solution, but a deep, nourishing reboot that puts body, mind, and spirit back in balance.

The Ayurveda Perspective on Stress

Stress in Ayurveda is referred to as dosha imbalance—the three forces of life (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) that govern our body and mind processes:

• Vata imbalance: Includes symptoms of anxiety, fear, restlessness, and insomnia.
• Pitta imbalance: Expressed as anger, irritability, frustration, and burnout.
• Kapha imbalance: Symptoms involve sloth, depression, and lack of motivation.
• Stress builds up when our nervous system is overworked, digestion is obstructed, and our sense of self and nature is lost. The Ayurvedic de-stress program restores Sattva—the state of peace, clarity, and harmony.

Purpose of an Ayurvedic De-Stress Program

The objective is not merely to alleviate symptoms of stress, but to rebalance the nervous system, calm the emotions, and revitalize the whole being. This is achieved by:

• Soothing the mind
• Feeding the nervous system
• Improving digestion and sleep
• Creating inner peace
• Restoring natural rhythms of life

An Ayurveda De-Stress Program benefits

• Quiet, smaller mind and greater focus
• Improved digestion and sleep
• Decreased anxiety and mood swings
• Greater resilience and emotional serenity
• A new sense of purpose, peace, and connection

What is the Program For?

• Chronic stress or anxiety
• Burnout or emotional fatigue
• Sleep disturbances
• Mood swings or irritability
• Wants a gentle reset or retreat
