Namaste!
A most comprehensive and holistic science,
Ayurveda, is universally applicable to every culture. As
an Indian living in America, my deepest desire is to help
people incorporate simple, yet profound Ayurvedic principles
which include proper nutrition, yoga and meditation for
balancing a hectic-paced and busy western life. Peace, bliss
and perfect health is our divine birthright. When our choices
are aligned with laws of Nature, we naturally experience
joy and bliss. Ayurveda has offered me that wisdom and it
is my honor to share that wisdom with my clients.
If
you are looking to make a shift in your life for greater
health and happiness, but aren't sure where to begin, I
offer Ayurvedic lifestyle and culinary coaching services
in the Santa Barbara area. We will work together to gradually
incorporate lifestyle changes that are unique to your needs.
What we put in our bodies directly affects our physical
and mental health. After we assess your dosha, we will work
together to create menus that are best suited for your body/mind
using the most efficient way to ease you into cooking. You
will experience greater health and save money by not eating
out.

About
Aparna:
I
grew up in India where life was slower and food was fresh.
In fact, we grew nearly everything we ate. I have lived
in the US for 18 years now and have incorporated much of
my lifestyle habits from India into my busy life as a single
mother and small business owner. The results are undeniable.
I am healthy, radiate an inner joy and love my life. Meditation,
spending time in silence, reading, exercising, hula hooping,
eating healthy foods continue to shower bliss into my life.
Before relocating to Santa Barbara, I was the main chef
at the Chopra Center for Well-Being in Carlsbad, Ca. and
catered for their Perfect Health, Soul of Healing and Yoga
retreats. I also taught Ayurvedic cooking classes and worked
as a part-time chef at the prestigious Chopra Center for
Living in Rancho Santa Fe. My panchakarma training is from
New World Ayurveda with Dr. Paul Dugliss.
Today,
I continue my affiliation with the Chopra Center as their
Culinary Consultant to resort chefs around the US and Europe.
While I am not working with clients, I am hula hooping at
the beach or at the farmer's market.
