The people behind the guides

Hi, we’re Ellen & Greg.

Ayurveda Yoga Life is where we, Ellen and Greg Kinsey, share the yoga and Ayurvedic habits we live by: simple morning routines, breathwork and seasonal cooking. From Ellen’s Ayurveda course in Kerala and yoga teacher training in the Peruvian Amazon to our morning yoga in the mountains of Rishikesh and her move to the Alps, here’s what we’ve learned along the way.

Where we learned

Our Yoga and Ayurveda Journey

Ellen took the Foundation Ayurveda Wellness Course at the Sivananda Dhanwantari Ashram in Kerala and trained as a yoga teacher with Moksha Amazonica in the Peruvian Amazon. Greg practices Ashtanga and has been learning Ayurveda alongside her in India, and together we’ve practiced yoga in the mountains of Rishikesh. What we share here comes from that training and from our own daily routines.
