​
Gomantak Ayurvedic Hospital and University was kind enough to invite the IIA internship students to the "mass Surya Namaskar Practice" held on Ratha Saptami to celebrate the Sun. We arrived early in the morning along with 11 other schools ranging from kindergarten to university level to perform 12 rounds of sun salutations. ​​

A message from our Chief Clinician
October 1st, 2024 - The current state in the States
​
This year the CDC reported these numbers:
-
39.6% of adults in the USA are obese
-
31.6% of adults in the USA are overweight
-
7.7% of adults in the USA are severely obese
-
14.7% of adults in the USA have diabetes
-
38.0% of adults in the USA have prediabetes
That means 78.9% of adults in the USA are overweight and 52.7% of adults in the USA have high blood sugar.
​
The new normal is not healthy. Not even close. The personal consequences of this are understated because of its normalcy. The NIH reports that being obese increases all-around risk of mortality by at least 21%, and this number gets significantly higher as we age - all the way up to 108%. When we read the word mortality we naturally think of death. We don’t necessarily think of the illness, fatigue, emotional imbalances, stress and general suffering along the way.
Imbalanced weight and blood sugar needs to be taken seriously. There has never been a greater need for grounded, effective and time-proven holistic health practices. Ayurveda can bring us back to ourselves.

Sincerely,
Victor Briere
