About your instructor:

Lorraine Williams is an Ayurvedic Consultant whose work is shaped by lived practice, cross-cultural study, and a deep respect for traditional healing systems as they are meant to be lived—not extracted or oversimplified.

​

Her studies in Ayurveda span both India and Thailand, including training at the Yogamu Institute in Rishikesh, India, and continued practice and consultation in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Lorraine approaches Ayurveda not as a set of rigid rules, but as a living system—one that honors daily rhythm, personal constitution, and the intelligence of the body over time.

​

Ayurveda entered Lorraine’s life through both formal study and lived experience, shaped by ongoing inquiry and integration. Her teaching is practical and accessible, emphasizing foundational understanding and lifestyle awareness rather than diagnosis or prescription. She teaches Ayurveda because she has seen how small, informed shifts in daily living create lasting change, guiding students to build a real relationship with the teachings—not just gather information.
