Surya innovates within Ayurveda's comprehensive system of well-being, designed 10,000 years ago by a group of devoted yogis seeking to both better and extend their lives in the service of humanity. Through natural products, programs, education, services, and modern self-care tools, Surya helps restore balance and health, revives our connection with nature and spirit, and brings wellness, vitality, and longevity to everyone, everywhere.

Ayurveda is the “science of life.” Of well-being. Ayurveda covers practices such as yoga, meditation, and natural medicine, all of which work together to create balance and health — in body, mind and spirit. Ayurveda understands and treats discomfort and disease by understanding the imbalances in our constitutions, which, in Ayurveda, are comprised of three doshas: Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Derived from the elements, our doshas are the biological energies that govern our physical and mental processes. Vata is associated with wind and air; Pitta with fire; and Kapha with the solidity of earth and water. We are all born in perfect balance, but when any of our doshas slip out of balance, we begin to feel uneasy. That unease, unless dealt with, ultimately manifests as disease. Luckily, according to the ancient principals of Ayurveda, each person’s doshas can be easily rebalanced, and often with simple self-care tools, including diet, and health and well-being can be restored.

At Surya, we’re honored to uphold these old truths and traditions. We’re honored to be custodians and to bring Ayurveda’s ancient wisdom into a modern, accessible framework, and to help us all reconnect us to the curative powers of the natural world.
