I would like to thank Andhrika for her soothing and healing massages. I often suffer from higher stress/anxiety and poor sleep. I have found head and back Ayurvedic massages to be healing both physically and mentally. I am able to leave our session with a renewed sense of peace and relaxation. The head massages have also been beneficial to my hair. It has not been this thick, shiny, and healthy in years. She has a great understanding of my specific needs and expert knowledge of her craft. I am very grateful to her. Her expert knowledge of my individual body type requirements, understanding of my health issues and specifically directed treatments have improved my quality of life by increasing my mobility, core strength, ability to manage stress and soothing digestive issues.

I had severe neck pain and Andhrika helped me to get rid of it without any medicine. It was amazing! I highly recommend her Massage Therapies.

Andhrika's yoga classes are unique in their approach with the focus on mind-body connection and emphasis on breathing techniques and stress management. Each class is adjusted to adapt to the needs of the individual students while ensuring that everyone benefits. Andhrika enriches the classes by bringing both historical and cultural context to techniques that we are learning. But most of all, I appreciate the sheer joy with which she teaches her classes. We always end up having a good laugh and feeling connected. The deep relaxation practice at the end of each class leaves me feeling calm, yet refreshed and energized. I didn't realize that I was a shallow breather and over time these lessons have greatly expanded my lung capacity and ability to focus deeply. I am grateful to have learned that self care can be so much fun and easy to incorporate into my daily routine."

Andhrika provides a variety of services within the scope of her expertise as a doctor of Ayurveda. She spends time on one on one basis getting to know each patient’s individual “built” and provides invaluable recommendations regarding diet, life style and general well being. You may find many of these known to yourself based on the observations of your own reactions to day-to-day events and the environment but some - may be a discovery and, when put into action, may markedly improve your health. That was my case and those initial visits to Andhrika, when seeking her general advice, gained my trust in her knowledge and experience. To help with maintenance of your health, Andhrika is there with her amazing massages, chakra balancing sessions, individual pranayama and yoga lessons and many other services. While getting “treated”, you may benefit from many other pieces of advice that she may continue to offer, from essential oils to meditative practices. On a personal note, I always leave Andhrika feeling rejuvenated, energized and inspired to take care of myself to be able to care for others. Her positive, supportive and caring attitude combined with the utmost professionalism and expertise make her a unique provider and us, here in Richmond, simply lucky to be able to benefit from her presence and work.

The combination of Andhrika's ayurvedic consults, targeted massage therapy and yoga classes have shifted my body from having significant health issues into healing mode. I am so very excited to have discovered this philosophy of natural healing and to have found a teacher whose knowledge is so comprehensive and caring. Her expert knowledge of my individual body type requirements, understanding of my health issues and specifically directed treatments have improved my quality of life by increasing my mobility, core strength, ability to manage stress and soothing digestive issues.

I feel deeply grateful and fortunate to study with someone that comes from the birthplace of modern day yoga-India. Something in that feels original and authentic to me. Andhrika openly shares knowledge passed down from her teachers in a welcoming and attainable manner. Through the breathing exercises we practice in class, I have noticed in a short time, increased lung capacity, and a deeper sense of peace and awareness. I have great respect and love for Andhrika as a teacher. I didn't realize that I was a shallow breather and over time these lessons have greatly expanded my lung capacity and ability to focus deeply.

I was eating wrong foods throughout my life. It deranged my Vata and I could not sleep well. Andhrika Kondeti helped me to balance my vata and sleep better. Regular Ayurvedic massages and Shirodhara improved the quality of my sleep.

I would like to thank you for the quieting, soothing, health-enhancing facial and foot massage on the energy points. Your knowledge of ayurveda elevates your offering to so much more than the massages I've enjoyed over the past 20 years. You have a gift.

Andhrika provides a unique yoga experience. I had practiced yoga in a group setting and on a private basis on and off for a few years before I met Andhrika and gained appreciation for her yoga teaching. It offers a complete routine to start your day and allows for re-energizing with power yoga at the end of the day. Andhrika starts her morning yoga lesson with a brief meditation session, followed by several pranayama exercises, then offers to warm up your joints with brisk movements followed by a smooth flow of stretching poses. Then the session peaks with a strengthening routine and allows for everyone’s favorite relaxation at the end (you may even get to hear Andhrika chant a mantra). Andhrika makes sure that any movement is synchronized with breathing, something I had never experienced in other yoga routines. The most important judge of the efficacy of the yoga session is your body. One hour of Andhrika’s morning yoga makes my body feel fresh, warm and energized. I feel fortunate to have gotten to know such a qualified, knowledgeable, experienced and intuitive yoga instructor.

Shirodhara was an amazing experience. I felt so relaxed and calm. Thank you Andhrika for this wonderful service!

The massage therapy I receive from Andhrika has been healing both physically and mentally. I feel cleansed and renewed from the firm, respectful, pressure. My skin is soothed by the generous application of warm, scented oils. Andhrika brings enormous professional skill to her massages and seems to intuit my body's particular need each time. The pressure point work is amazing.
