A Journey Inspired by Ayurveda’s Approach
Hello, I’m Polina
My wellness journey began over two decades ago when I attended my first yoga class. That experience ignited a deep curiosity and passion for holistic health and well-being, shaping the course of my life. This initial spark led me to the YogaWell School in San Diego, where I completed a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training program. Through this training, I developed an understanding of yoga’s physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions and its power to support overall wellness.
My commitment to holistic health continued to evolve, guiding me toward Ayurveda, the ancient science of life. This path led me to Kerala Ayurveda Academy, where I obtained my certification as an Ayurvedic Practitioner. My time at the academy deepened my appreciation for Ayurveda’s integrative approach to health and further enriched my ability to support others on their wellness journeys.
Through yoga and Ayurveda, I have cultivated a holistic perspective that informs every aspect of my practice, allowing me to guide individuals toward balance, vitality, and a greater sense of harmony in their lives.
My Journey
Growing up in the former Soviet Union, I first learned about Ayurveda after the Chernobyl nuclear plant explosion. This event brought Ayurvedic experts from India to help those suffering from radiation sickness. The success of these treatments made a big impression on me.
My innate desire to nurture and help others found a new direction through this experience.
Seeing Ayurveda’s effectiveness in healing Chernobyl’s victims deepened my connection to this ancient practice. In 2018, my growing interest in Ayurveda led her to Kerala, India. Known as the birthplace of Ayurveda, Kerala integrates this ancient practice into mainstream medicine. Amazed by its widespread use, I decided to embrace this path fully, enrolling in a program to become an Ayurvedic Practitioner.
At Healing Moon Ayurveda, we draw upon the rich traditions of Ayurveda from Kerala, blending ancient wisdom with modern wellness practices. My journeys in India, combined with my dedication to learning Ayurvedic teachings, forms the foundation of this approach. This perspective not only honors individual uniqueness but also embraces the many ways people connect with Ayurveda’s timeless principles. Each treatment plan is deeply rooted in this principles, focusing on the individual’s holistic well-being. This approach goes beyond simply addressing symptoms, aiming to nurture lasting health, vitality, and a profound sense of balance in every aspect of life.
