Ayurvedic Luxuries

While I was away for training, Ayurvedic was prevalent throughout the facility, the teachings, and the services at Kripalu. I recently stumbled across a skincare line created by Christy Turlington (a fellow yoga ethusiast) and company, which bases its line on Ayurvedic traditions. In Ayurvedic traditions, there are three doshas, VATA (Air), PITTA (Fire) and KAPHA (Earth), and to achieve a natural equilibrium, we need to be balanced among all three. To find out your dosha, you can take a simple quiz here, OR if you are interested in Sundari's skincare line, you can take their skin test here.

SUNDÃRI (n. sun-'dar-ee) means "a beautiful woman" in Sanskrit.

SUNDÃRI is a collection of Ayurvedic inspired luxury skin care products suited to meet the needs of contemporary women. SUNDÃRI skin care was created by three women, Ayla Hussain, Cavan Mahony and Christy Turlington , each contributing their own specific expertise and passion for holistic skin care. Ayurveda, acknowledged as the oldest medical science in India, is a 5000 year old science of life advocating a methodology that seeks to establish ones holistic balance. Ayurveda teaches that the balancing of mind, body and spirit will ultimately lead to peace, harmony and lasting beauty. SUNDÃRI embodies the principles of this Indian philosophy by containing the purest botanicals with the application of the safest and most effective technology to create the SUNDÃRI product and treatment line.
