As we daily study and practice the principles of Ayurveda for many years, it became obvious to us that this millenary knowledge is simply the oldest SCIENCE OF PERSONAL AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN THE WORLD! 

Indeed, Ayurveda aims at helping us achieve the best of ourselves, to develop our capacities,  to live in harmony with ourselves but also with what surrounds us. According to ayurvedic principles, we are made of the same five elements that make up everything in the universe, we cannot ignore this deep connexion.

Ayurveda, holistic science, is here to remind us that we are part of a whole universe and that our development cannot be at the expense of Nature. The interconnection between the elements of creation is the basic principle of Ayurveda. We can respect ourselves and find harmony through Ayurveda,  but we must also apply its rules to respect and harmonize the planet.

From Lille to Kovalam

The unusual journey into ' the land of Ayurveda' AMSHA offers is not a coincidence or a trend. Amsha was founded in France in 2004 by Anne Vanackère, Ayurvedic Consultant, to promote the ayurvedic way of life through programs of counseling, lecture and workshops. Since then, Amsha has partnered with recognized ayurvedic centers in Kerala to offer its customers the opportunity to discover the authentic ayurvedic medicine (recognized by the WHO).

Amsha now works with eight ayurvedic hospitals in southern India. We also selected charming small hotels, guesthouses as well as two specialized travel agents so you can discover the history and life of South India.

End 2008, the AMSHA team has grown with the arrival of Catherine Lequibain and Binu Vincent. The idea of 'Amsha in India' has finally become reality in the spring of 2009! We are now settled in Kerala to be at the heart of the tradition and the future of Ayurveda. The new projects are not lacking, but priority is given to 'VEDAPURA, home of the veda' which will be a showcase of ayurvedic, eco friendly and eco sustainable products of  southern India. Vedapura will bring together producers, craftmen, associations involved in  programs of sustainable development, protection of environment, promotion of ancestral knowledge.

TEAM

ANNE, in charge of Ayurveda

Profile: After 10 years in international trade, I discovered Yoga and Ayurveda, which gave me a new idea of life and what I could do to give it a meaning. For 11 years, I've been studying and practicing Yoga and Ayurveda. The lessons of my teachers, Dr. Vinod Verma and Prof. M.Ferrini gave me the will to dedicate my energy to help convey the principles of Vedic Sciences.

Wish: I wish AMSHA becomes a bridge between India and the West, a meeting place where everyone can find the best of Ayurveda, where Ayurveda will demonstrate its eternity, its eternal youth, and its ability to meet the needs of today regarding health but also everyday life, respect for others and for environment.
