SattvaCo

Ayurveda, taught plainly

Learn the system, then use it daily.

SattvaCo is a small Ayurveda studio in Bothell, Washington. We publish clear guides to the classical framework, stock the herbs and oils those routines actually call for, and connect you with BAMS qualified practitioners for one to one consultations.
