Ayurvedic Medicine
Ayurveda understands existence and health through the five elements (ether, air, fire, water, and earth) found in nature, which make up the three bioenergies, doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), bringing balance and harmony to the body, mind, and spirit through lifestyle practices, food, herbs, therapies, and yoga.
Vata- Ether/Air
Pitta- Fire/Water
Kapha- Water/Earth

The Ayurvedic Path
Ayurveda's comprehensive path to holistic health looks at the whole person: body, mind, and spirit, first identifying your unique constitution (inherent balance of the three doshas), then evaluating your concerns and goals, and then designing a treatment program with food, herbs, therapies, and yoga that fits your lifestyle.

Testimonials
The Ayurveda and yoga retreat with Jeff at the Manaltheeram Ayurveda Resort was a truly magical experience. Jeff is an excellent program host who organized and planned every aspect, making me feel well taken care of. The Panchakarma program was first class, and his yoga and pranayama classes were outstanding; Jeff made the experience easy, connective, and supportive for all attendees. I highly recommend Jeff’s Ayurveda retreat program at Manaltheeram. El 2024
Jeff was very thorough and patient during my initial intake. He took the time to gather my information and answer my questions. During my follow-up appointment, he explained my dosha in detail and laid out an easy Ayurvedic treatment program for me to follow to help me achieve my goals with allergies and digestive issues. There was no pressure to purchase items, but he has everything you need right there. I recommend his services. EG 2021
Jeff is a gifted Iyengar teacher and yoga therapist who has guided me for many years, first helping me address a couple of injuries and then helping me build strength and become more experienced and capable in my yoga practice. As a psychologist, I have experienced new emotional well-being and have been recommending yoga to my clients for help with stress management. Jeff, thank you for my health, and see you in class.
