Guest Lecture on “Ayurveda and You” – A Wellness Wake-Up Call!

 Guest Lecture on “Ayurveda and You” – A Wellness Wake-Up Call!

On the bright and breezy morning of March 22, 2025, the College Auditorium of Carmel College of Arts, Science and Commerce for Women buzzed with fresh energy—not just because of the early start at 9:15 a.m., but because it was time to talk wellness the old-school (read: ancient and wise) way!

The Department of English, teaming up with the Department of Physical Education, Sports, and the Yoga Centre, hosted an enlightening guest lecture titled "Ayurveda and You: Tips on Health and Wellness." And who better to guide us through the magical world of turmeric, tulsi, and timeless traditions than Sr. Maria Saviola A.C., a seasoned expert in Ayurveda and holistic wellness?

Sr. Maria had everyone wide-eyed (and taking notes!) as she walked us through the basics of Ayurvedic living—seasonal eating, mindful habits, and those miracle Indian spices sitting right in our kitchens. From sipping warm water in the morning to balancing our doshas, the tips were simple, doable, and totally eye-opening. The Q&A that followed saw curious minds and animated questions flying across the room. Clearly, Ayurveda had struck a chord! Students and faculty alike were charmed by the idea of blending ancient wisdom into our fast-paced lives. The session wrapped up on a grateful note with Synora Picardo, Director of Physical Education, delivering a warm vote of thanks—expressing appreciation for Sr. Maria Saviola’s grounded guidance and the organizing teams’ efforts in making the event so lively and meaningful.

Verdict? Enlightening, engaging, and energizing—a total wellness win!
