e word “Jyotish” comes from the Sanskrit word for “divine light” or “radiance” and is considered a spiritual science of light.
Personalized insights:
A Jyotish (astrologer) creates a birth chart, or cosmic snapshot, to analyze planetary patterns at the time of birth to understand strengths, challenges, and potential in areas like work, relationships, and health.
Karma and dharma: The practice is deeply rooted in yogic philosophy, including the concepts of karma and dharma (duty), which explain how past actions influence the present and how to navigate one’s life path.
Jyotish is distinct from Western astrology because it uses the sidereal zodiac, which aligns with the fixed stars and constellations, while Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac, which is based on the season.
he Fall Ayurvedic Yoga classes are designed as a stand-alone, self-care practices. Each class provides practices that balance vata dosha, reducing stiffness, and bringing stability to the body. Ayurveda has a theory that says that we’re all made up of ten pairs of qualities, called gunas, that describe everything in the universe, including thoughts and emotions. These qualities come in pairs of opposites, like heavy and light, soft and hard, and hot and cold. Gunas affect dosha, which is a key term in ayurveda that means “fault” or “defect.”

Therapy is defined as the remediation of a health problem. Preventive therapy is that which is intended to prevent a medical condition from occurring.
