Regain control of your health!

Join Dave Lesinski, owner of Modern Ayurveda (MA. Ed.,E-RYT200, AHC) for a presentation that will leave you feeling empowered to take your health and happiness to new and amazing levels. Every month, Dave will be in the Whole Body Department asking your questions about Ayurvedic Health and will provide you a clear framework of the “whole” human body and therefore what is needed to achieve total-body health.

Dave's Bio: I have spent the last 10 years supporting adults and children in making better life choices to improve health and happiness. In 2002 I co-created and began teaching in the STEPS program which is a therapeutic classroom for kids with severe emotional disability. I used traditional teaching methods coupled with a spiritual practice to support children in making positive behavioral and academic change in their lives. I had the pleasure of being recognized as West Bloomfield School’s (Michigan) elementary teacher of the year in 2008.

I was a Non-Violent Crisis Intervention instructor for the last 7 years, training over 50 people a year in respectfully dealing with highly intense and emotional crisis situations. In 2004 I became a Yoga instructor and have taught many styles of Hatha yoga at Yoga Now studio in Michigan. In the fall of 2010 I facilitated my first yoga teacher training. I have also created and taught workshops focusing on chakras, history of yoga, Ayurvedic medicine and more.

In 2008 I was introduced to the world of Ayurveda. Two years later I found myself finishing my schooling to be an Ayurvedic practitioner. Recently, I decided to move to California to start a business that combines my Ayurvedic knowledge with my experiences in the education world to support people of all ages in gaining the knowledge and strategies needed to bring more peace, happiness and harmony into their lives. I have a strong belief that disease of any kind can be prevented using natural and holistic techniques. I believe that with proper support, people of all lifestyles, schedules and beliefs can make positive growth towards living a happier and healthier life.
