Ayurveda, Herbal Medicine and Yoga

About TSA
Jeff Perlman

My Alternative Health Clinic is located in Los Angeles and is based on the beliefs of Ayurveda, the traditional medical system of India. I offer evaluations and consultations, nutritional, dietary, and detoxification programs, massage, marma, aroma therapies, and yoga instruction and therapy. I also have a licensed herbal pharmacy on site.

​​

I originally studied nutrition before graduating from the Cordon Bleu and worked as a professional chef for many years. After an injury and health concerns, I decided to focus my attention on holistic health, and I pursued an education in alternative medicine. I am certified as a Clinical Ayurvedic and Panchakarma Specialist, a nutritional professional, an AHG herbalist, and a massage, marma, and aroma therapist. 

 

Additionally, I am certified as a yoga instructor and therapist by the Iyengar Yoga National Association, the International Association of Yoga Therapists, and the National Ayurvedic Medical Association.

Introduction to Pranayama

Yogic breathing, known as Pranayama or “Conscious Breathing.” It is vital because Prana (life force) carries our presence, awareness, creativity, and intelligence, and brings balance and harmony to the body, mind, and spirit.

In this class, I will introduce you to the theory and practice, starting with a rejuvenative yoga sequence to prepare the body, followed by a breathing practice you can do at home.

This class is appropriate for all levels.

Join me for this class where I will introduce you to the basics of Ayurvedic medicine and share holistic practices that support the skeletal system (bones, cartilage, tendons, and joints), which can deteriorate, become fragile, and inflamed over time, but luckily, Ayurveda and Yoga offer holistic approaches that naturally reverse bone loss and build strength and flexibility.

 

This class will include a yoga sequence suitable for students of all levels.
