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. We’re located near downtown Kalamazoo, in a sanctuary surrounded by the healing qualities of nature.
“I 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.”
- Jodi B.
“From medicinal teas, to expert bodywork, to Ayurvedic practitioners on staff that can help you get to the root cause of dis-ease, the Ayurvedic Wellness Center offers wrap-around care that is incredibly supportive for wellness. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.”

ocean ojas: a deep rejuvenation retreat
Los Cabos, Mexico | March 28-April 4, 2026
Where will yoga take you? Where desert meets sea. This setting on the beautiful Baja Peninsula of Mexico is the perfect place to settle inward after a full year, renew your spirit, and replenish your ojas (Ayurveda’s view of the vital juice of life).
During this retreat our goal is to build your ojas! Daily yoga practice and Ayurvedic teachings are supported by profound body work, exquisite nourishing food, golden sand beaches, stunning surf, hiking the Pacific coast, and more. Our Ocean Ojas retreat is set at Prana del Mar, an award winning and eco-friendly wellness center.
“The bodhisattva-warrior makes a vow to wake up not just for [her]self, but for the welfare of all beings.”

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.
“I 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.”
- Laurie D.
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 Ayurveda… Their space feels like a warm hug, and I cannot say enough good about my time spent within this community.
