Ayurveda

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.

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 am grateful to have learned that self care can be so much fun and easy to incorporate into my daily routine." 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.

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.
