She was indoctrinated into Ayurveda at birth, as her grandfather was an Ayurvedic healer. In 2002, she founded a value development school called Vyaktitiva to counsel young adolescents and help them find purpose in whatever they do.Now, she is a practitioner, blogger, educator and a faculty at the Shakti School of Ayurveda.Wellness to Nidhi means aligning your body and mind to only consume what nourishes you on both levels. This can only happen when you truly understand your body and are able to tune in to your mind.After an in depth study of the scriptures and contemplation, Nidhi came to the conclusion that the ecosystem of the human body is warm and moist. Any deviation from this climate leads to imbalance. She therefore teaches people how to understand this climate; what may take it off balance, and how to bring it back to homeostasis.Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate/?token=y_kaqK9wLLV2hJsCYl7mFwBcEPNGyuzRIZuHMW5dxoRj2vyQJPvcov1xOO9ZUsn_lG-6Km&country.x=AU&locale.x=AU)
