History of Mādhya
Way Ayurveda
Anjali Deva, the founder of Mādhya Way Ayurveda, is an Ayurvedic Practitioner in Los Angeles with a decade of Ayurvedic study and practice behind her. Through her clinical practice, Rooted Rasa, Anjali realized that empowering clients to learn about their own health was integral to their healing journeys. She wanted to create a school that would support students in taking their healing journeys further and also give them the tools to share their knowledge with others.
Anjali was inspired to establish a school for Ayurveda based on a trauma-informed and compassion-based curriculum that supports one’s innate resilience and capacity to heal. She put together a team of expert instructors to help guide students’ paths to self-discovery and Ayurvedic wisdom.
Anjali believes strongly in preserving and maintaining the healing art of Ayurveda while amending it in order to best apply it to our modern lives.
