 Living Ayurveda |
Hotel Valencia (Santana Row) 355 Santana Row (5th Floor) San Jose and Silicon Valley, CA 95128 United States +1 408 423 5424 http://www.ayoma.com |
Ayurveda is a 5000 year-old life management system from India to maximize health through herbal personal care, diet, massage and other natural treatments, exercise, art, and environment. Other philosophies and alternative medicines such as Vedic Martial Arts, Yoga, and Thai Massage have descended from Ayurveda. Ayoma recognizes that the physical body and the senses are comprised of the 5 elements of Space, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. These combined with the three qualities of the mind, Purity, Activity, Inertia, the individual soul and invisible past experiences unite to form three distinct mind-body combinations or doshas. Typically, one dosha determines the individual's mental and physical constitution. An imbalance in doshas affects health and well being. Ayoma's Spa Therapies restore the body's natural dosha balance, enhancing Ayurvedic healing at the subtlest levels. Ayoma is a personal sanctuary for healing and rejuvenation, where treatments, cuisine, consultations and lifestyle programs are tailored to your individual needs. AYOMA LifeSpa is a holistic health experience incorporating the Indian principles of mind and body. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The occult as conspicuous consumption |
525 South Winchester Boulevard San Jose and Silicon Valley, CA 95128 United States +1 408 247 2101 http://www.winchestermysteryho... |
Sarah Winchester was heir to the Winchester repeating rifle fortune, and she was convinced that the spirits of all those killed with that gun were haunting her. To confuse the restless spirits, she constructed one of the oddest houses ever built and kept constructing it until the day of her death. The Victorian-style labyrinth that resulted features a door on the second floor that opens onto thin air, others that open onto walls, and stairs and corridors that lead to dead ends. Check website for prices and further information. Review © 2007, Wcities |
