The Ayurvedic Wellness Center is the home for teaching the teachings and practice of Ayurveda and Yoga in Southwest Michigan, facilitating radical wellness through time-honored Vedic technologies. Weโre located near downtown Kalamazoo, in a sanctuary surrounded by the healing qualities of nature.
โI can't say enough positive things about my experiences with the Ayurvedic Wellness Center; the entire Team and the program offerings they provide have changed my life and perspective immensely. I began consultations two years ago and was given a regimen that has changed my health and wellness forever. I completed this entire journey with AWC through online consultation all while living in New York and Florida. I am grateful, and can't imagine being on this journey without AWC.โ

ayurvedic spring cleanse
a 28-day reset
March 1-28, 2025
w. Kara Aubin . E.RYT500, CAP, AYT
During this Spring Cleanse process, weโll take an Ayurvedic, 28 day, food-based approach to cleansing and rejuvenation. This integrated, effective approach will leave you feeling clearer, cleaner, and renewed.
Ayurveda views seasonal transitions to be important opportunities for cleansing and rejuvenation. The transition from winter to spring is a time to clear the excess heavy and cold qualities that have accumulated throughout the winter.
Our Ayurvedic seasonal cleanses consist of food practices and lifestyle practices to best align with the doshic influences of the season. Youโll be instructed in recommended home practices to create optimal functioning of digestion, elimination, and immune systems. This is a month to clear last seasonโs accumulations, and gently reset the system for the season ahead.
โThe bodhisattva-warrior makes a vow to wake up not just for [her]self, but for the welfare of all beings.โ
understanding modern death
Sunday, March 2 . 10:00a-11:30a ET
w. Alycia Lee . in-person + livestream
What is it like to die in today's world? What does end of life look like for most people now? We will discuss what statistically happens for those dying and explore the feasibility of alternative scenarios. Equip yourself with knowledge about legal and medical matters related to death, such as advance care planning, living wills, and funeral/disposition planning. This practical understanding can bring a sense of control and alleviate anxieties for you and your loved ones.
Remember, death is not the ending; it's a transformation. Let's approach it with open hearts and minds, and discover the beauty and wisdom that lie within.

ayurvedic consultations
Ayurveda, often translated as 'The Science of Life', is an ancient system of healing from India. This holistic system looks at how the five elements manifest uniquely in each individual and treats imbalances based on your unique constitution. The result? A modality that 'sees' you as a person, and not as your symptoms or disease.
โI wanted holistic support to help me address a few health issues I had, and found the perfect practitioner at the AWC. I am sleeping better, have more energy and feel the benefits of continuing to work with the protocols recommended specifically for me.โ

Community Care Fund
In 2021, the Ayurvedic Wellness Center started a Community Care Fund (CCF) to partially or fully cover Ayurvedic services for clients who are in financial need. The Community Care Fund allows those in our community who, at any given time, have adequate financial means to support the healing journey of someone who otherwise would not have access to these practices.
There are two ways you can contribute:
Any gratuities for Kara Aubin will be paid directly into the CCF.
You may chose to make a donation at any time. You can add this donation to your retail purchase, or donate directly.
If you would like to utlize Community Care Fund resources to support your healing journey, please email us to schedule.
The AWC thanks you for your community care!
The Ayurvedic Wellness Center is a must visit gem in Kalamazoo or even virtually across the globe. An expansive experience of health, wellness, and spirit through yoga and Ayurvedaโฆ Their space feels like a warm hug, and I cannot say enough good about my time spent within this community.
