Ideas for joyful living

Working long, hard days and feeling burnt out are fairly common, relatable occurrences in our modern times. Namrata Sandhu and Valentina Santamaria, however, used their experiences to explore older Indian traditions that promote balanced and healthy living. They founded Nalen Ayurveda based on their belief in natural ingredients and in the holistic mind-body-soul uniting systems of Ayurveda. Their goal is to promote a way of life focused on balance and happiness through simplicity and transparency.
