What is Śamana?
Śamana is a Sanskrit term that means “pacification,” “mitigation” and “alleviation.” It is derived from the root word, ‘sam’, meaning “together,” and ‘an’, meaning to "breathe”.
The Roots
‘Śamana Natural Therapies’ has moved through many different phases, spaces and offerings. Starting as a Yoga Studio and shifting to ‘food as medicine’ catering services for cafes and retreats to hosting workshops and other events.
After stepping away, a few moves, as well as furthering studies in multiple modalities and exploring different fields of research, Samana Natural Therapies is now orientated more around the world of Lymphatics, Fluid Dynamics, Integrative Bodywork, 1:1 Guidance via Health Consultations, Detox Programs and Online Courses to help individuals live a ‘life fully expressed by unpacking really common conditions of us all today via a merging of ancient and modern practices.’
