The Elements of Ayurveda Podcast
Empowering you to take charge of your health and wellbeing
Ayurveda, the ancient healing tradition of India, translates to “Wisdom of Life.” It offers a holistic approach to naturally restore balance, support body and mind, and prevent dis-ease. More than a guide to health, Ayurveda is a blueprint for living, a manual for life that most of us never received.
On this podcast, Colette shares the teachings of Ayurveda, Yoga, and holistic health, along with practical tips to bring these principles into your everyday life. She interviews inspiring guests and explores a wide range of wellness topics, all with the goal of helping you reconnect with your true nature and the rhythms of the natural world.
