meditation and yoga.

Everything Ayurveda! 

 

During a private consultation, we determine your dosha (mind/body constitution) and take a deep look at any imbalances you may have, when they began, how your lifestyle works for or against you, and what you can do about it! I create a plan for you to restore yourself to full harmony and balance. You'll learn how to come back to your natural way of being through food choices and nutrition, daily routine, behavior, exercise, meditation, breath work, career choices and more.

Cost: $150 for one 1.5 hour session, or three sessions for $300 (follow-up sessions are one hour each). Please call 410-235-7323, or email susan@breathebooks.com to schedule your appointment or to learn more!

We carry a wide range of Ayurvedic products including herbs, oils, body products, toothpaste, facial care, balms, churnas, spice tins, ghee, honey and teas, and, of course, lots of books to support your Ayurvedic lifestyle.

Patience is one of those qualities that people so often say they lack and invariably find in short supply in themselves or others. One constantly hears cries of "I don't have the patience for this!" or "I'm losing my patience." Whether it is with our families, our co-workers, or ourselves, patience so often seems to abandon us when we need it most. Be part of a dynamic workshop in which we will learn skills to carve out a pathway to becoming a more patient person every day. Through teachings, practice, and discussion we will explore how to develop and strengthen a depth of patience so that we can become a truly patient person when facing life's delays, inefficiencies, and frustrations. This workshop is the perfect first step toward a newer, happier you in 2012.
