What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is a very deep topic, a vast, ancient, body of knowledge divined long before any other known health system. But it’s more than a health system.

Benefiting from Retreat
It was an extremely enjoyable and refreshing time, going on my annual silent retreat in the Monterey Peninsula with the Chopra Center.
