Private Ayurvedic coaching and group workshops on health and wellness
Some ways you can work with me~
1. Schedule two consecutive visits and receive a highly personalized health plan, inspired by ancient Ayurvedic wisdom. You’ll receive a personal write up after our first meeting together.
2. Commit to working with me for several weeks after the first two visits for coaching that will help you implement your plan.
3. Meet or Skype with me for a one hour consultation where I can advise you in the best direction for your health.
Discussions and recommendations revolve around: diet, lifestyle, supplements, herbs.
I also teach small and large groups on a number of health topics through the lens of Ayurveda and have done dozens of workshops as part of yoga teacher trainings and intensives.

Parthena’s spirit shines through her knowledge in Ayurveda. She teaches to the 200hour Yoga Teacher Training program and the way she shares the information allows the students to easily bring this practice into their lives. Her presentation is outstanding! Thank you Parthena for being a part of the studio. ~Amanda Steadman & Carly Barnes, owners of Vero BeachYoga Barre
Parthena has been teaching Ayurveda weekends as part of our apprenticeship program for many years now and she is such a value-add to our program. Her knowledge is vast and her passion is deep. She brings joy to her teaching and students truly love her. I could not recommend her enough! ~Krista Shirley, owner of Yoga Shala, Orlando
It was such a pleasure to meet you and learn from you last weekend. I enjoyed what we spoke about and I am excited to begin exploring and learning more. The material was clear and well organized. Your calm, open-minded and sometimes humorous presentation of the material made it enjoyable to digest and process the information presented. I feel like I left with a great base understanding of the principles of Ayurveda and a wealth of resources to begin applying it practically to my life. ~A.C., Vero Beach, Yoga Pagoda
The lessons [from this past weekend with Parthena] in Ayurveda really inspired me to revisit the svadyaya (self study) aspect of yoga. I questioned myself, How much self-care do I really indulge in? Do I give enough back to myself? If you are on that boat of being a go go go person and feel like you may not be doing enough for yourself, I invite you to research Ayurveda and learn how incorporating some simple everyday tips and tricks of this ancient philosophy can aid in making you a healthy and happy human being. ~Yoga intensive participant, Orlando
Local yoga classes~
Fridays, 8:30 - 9:30 a.m. Vinyasa flow. In this class, we will move in and out of postures while engaging the breath. During the last 5 -10 minutes of class, we will practice yogic breathing, or pranayama, that will both soothe the mind and further balance the body.
