Jivita Ayurveda is an organic wellbeing centre in Kensal Rise in North-West London. You can find, under one roof, the full range of what Ayurveda has to offer: health consultations, body and beauty treatments and education of ayurvedic massage techniques and nutrition.
Steeped in Indian tradition with a touch of contemporary flair. The word Jivita originates from ancient Sanskrit and means rejuvenator or life promoter from the root jiva, the soul. A visit to Jivita Ayurveda will restore vitality and inner calm and empower you to lead a healthier and balanced life. Online and in person education programs guide you to lead a life in sync with natures cycles and prepare you to practice as a professional in this exciting field of natural healing.
In the spa the ambience of ancient healing practices and ayurvedic philosophies combine to create a mystical art of healing enhancing your life and wellbeing and leaving you totally revitalised and rejuvenated. Each ayurvedic treatment is 100% unique, tailored specifically to you and your current circumstances.
The clinic offers health consultations to start on a new path of health and wellbeing. Detox programs are run in our urban location and authentic panchakarma retreats take place regularly in Dorset in an area classified for its outstanding natural beauty.
Incorporating her practicing and teaching Ashtanga and Shivananda yogic practices into patient treatment, Anu’s approach to Ayurveda is exceptionally unique to anywhere in London currently.
Anu’s approach is based on ancient ways of living in synchrony with nature, modernised without compromising tradition. She is focused particularly on how to discover and harness the body’s ability to self-heal, recover and thrive. Through her writings and teachings she aims to explain how to engage feelings and harness intuition from the bodymind to navigate safely between the often contradictory and confusing advice on nutrition.
Anu is keen on reminding that having strong health and lasting wellbeing is not a quest for perfect performance. It is the ability to be able to perform at our best level most of the time, freeing ourselves from guilt during occasional deviations from the golden path.
The passion for the trade for Anu comes from the joy of adventure that she experiences with her clients.
She teaches Ayurveda at Yoga London and does workshops. She writes articles and updates social media with interesting tips and resonating articles about integrating ayurveda to everyday life.
