Vandana Sivaranjini

300hr Yoga Teacher Trainer
Aruyveda

I’m Vandana, your guide, support and counsellor to help you regain your vitality and inner wellness.

I was born in India into a family that followed Yogic and Ayurvedic teachings in a way that it was a ‘usual way of life’.  I only understood the ‘why’ of this type of lifestyle when embarking on a five years of training with two foremost Guru’s in India. 

My former life was within the Financial and IT industry (Microsoft NZ), which gives me a full appreciation of life’s stress and responsibilities.   Using the Yogic and Ayurvedic wisdom and tools, I was able to manage life better than many others.   Despite that, I suffered a heart attack at the age of 42.  

I was on all sorts of medication and also had rheumatoid arthritis. My journey to health was applications of all that I knew from growing up and what I had learnt as part of my training.  I began to understand how the internal chemistry,  (Inner Pharmacy), of the body can be realigned without the reliance on medication or surgery.

My experiences have highlighted that knowing the tools and wisdom are not enough.  It is the application of these into daily life before the collapse takes place.  Each of us needs to know how to read the signs before the collapse, learn how to course correct to maintain high levels of integrity between body, mind and emotion.   

My dharma (life purpose) is to share and coach you in all that I know.  Teach you the wisdom and the tools on how to read your body and how to course-correct, so that you access and ignite your “Inner Pharmacy” where true healing takes place.
​
Whether you are on a journey to heal from an illness or want to uplevel your life, the programmes, workshops or classes I offer will certainly start you off on the right path.
