Ayurveda Testimonials

I came across Ted's studio while visiting Hawaii a few years ago, and after taking a workshop with TKV Desikachar. Something "compelled" me to fly from the Big Island to go to Maui (probably both Ted's studio based on Desikachar's teachings, and the Maui Spa Retreat I stayed at!). I have severe Multiple Chemical Sensitivities due to pesticide poisoning that affected my brain and gut.

Ted's yoga teachings, based on true awareness were quite an eye-opener, and the vatta oil that he gave me to rub around my stomach worked wonders (both he and my naturopath said that my gut permeability was creating major issues in my body). I could think so much more clearly after that treatment with the oils that I brought more home to use to continue it. I hadn't felt anything work like that before (other than a long meditation session!).

Ted got me into Ayurveda, and while I haven't been able to return to Maui yet, I would love to do some training with him in Ayurveda. I'm now doing a very similar yoga at a studio in Toronto, and I'm very grateful to Ted for confirming this slow aware style was for me, and to the power of Ayurveda. I remember him in gratitude often. Sincerely, Lisa Miriam Cherry (co-author: Stories From the Yogic Heart)
