Ayurvedic Cooking Class and Therapies

Join
Seventh Wonder Holistic Spa owner Falli Shah and her husband, Sunny, for an
Ayurvedic cooking class from 4 to 6 p.m. on April 11, 2021. During this event, the
pair will teach attendees how to make khichari—a dish known in Ayurveda to be
cleansing, balancing and protein-rich. “This meal includes a vegetable side
dish, salad and papadum—an Indian flatbread that is thin and cracker-like,
often eaten as a snack,” says Falli. The class will be held on the spa’s
outdoor deck, overlooking the garden.
According to Falli, Ayurveda aims to balance
the body’s energies, known as the three doshas: vata, pitta and kapha. “These
energies consist of the five basic elements of ether, air, fire, water and
earth. It is an ancient practice meant to heal the whole body, mind and
spirit,” she explains. “At Seventh Wonder we recognize the key to health is to
honor our true nature.”
In addition, Seventh Wonder Holistic Spa’s
in-house Ayurvedic practitioner, Vaidya Goswami, offers many different
Ayurvedic treatments including Shirodhara, Abhyanga and Indian Head and
Shoulder Therapy, to name a few. “His specialty is in pain management and
weight loss ritual. He works with clients to structure treatment plans and
makes remedies, tailored specific to your needs, with all-natural ingredients
from India,” affirms Falli.
