TKYP211 | Pancha Karma Ayurveda

Ryan Kurczak
About this episode

Pancha Karma is a powerful Ayurvedic practice for self-healing and longevity. In order to succeed on our spiritual path, it is good if we can be as healthy as possible and live as long as we can. Enlightenment takes time, and the longer our life, the more time we have to work out our spiritual clarity.

In this episode of The Kriya Yoga Podcast, we speak with Chelynn Tetreault, AyD, LMT. (https://www.chelynnt.com/) She shares with us her experiences as an Ayurvedic Doctor and how Pancha Karma can assist us on our awakening path.
