Ayurveda: the science of life

Ayuh(life) Veda (Science)

Ayurveda, ‘The Science of Life’, is an ancient holistic approach to living in harmony with nature, originating in India. This holistic system of living with awareness is based on your relationship with the five elements and how they uniquely manifest in each individual. The foundational concept of like increases like, and opposites balance help us bring our unique constitutions back into a state of balance while living with ease, rather than dis- ease.

Allison Dessimone

Allison’s journey began while she was away at college; as she learned to juggle school, work, internships, and being human, she discovered yoga as a useful tool to maintain balance. Drawn to the benefits of physical practice, she soon began to feel subtle shifts in her mentality as yoga facilitated transformative growth throughout all aspects of her life. Having become truly dedicated to her practice, Allison completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2015 and by 2018 had completed her 300-hour program.

It wasn’t long before Allison became curious about yoga’s sister science, Āyurveda, and under the guidance of Cory Tixier and Jennifer Ayres of New Moon Āyurveda Academy, Allison became a devoted student in the lineage of Dr. Vasant Lad.

Allison has has continued to study Ayurveda, specializing her field in Marma Therapy Trainings as well as an Ayurvedic Therapies Training under the guidance of Cory Tixier.

Allison is passionate about sharing the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda. She is steeped in gratitude that your desire to know thyself, your openness to healing and your trust in the process has led you to Ayurveda. She is humbled to serve her community and to be a vessel to guide people in reconnecting with the natural rhythms and cycles of nature.
