And what could be more holistic than...Holistic Essentials, Ayurveda Pura’s skincare range made with Ayurvedic principles in mind. With no animal derived ingredients and no parabens, the lotions and potions in the range are made from 100 per cent natural ingredients and come in recyclable packaging."

"I'm a complete convert to Holistic Essential's skincare range, following a spa treatment at Ayurveda Pura where I was introduced to the range. Their daily replenish cream is neither too greasy nor too light and is the perfect moisturiser I've ever used, leaving my dry 'vata' skin feeling soft, plump and smooth. Free from anything un-natural or toxic, I completely trust Ayurveda Pura to use the highest quality natural products that will nourish and feed my skin."
Sally Lovett, Author of The Wellbeing Guide to London
“I left the clinic feeling like I was floating on air and filled with advice on how to improve my lifestyle. Ahead of me the buildings of Canary Wharf towered, reminding me of the real world that still existed outside of the calming Ayurveda Pura.”

"I ordered some products from you on Thursday afternoon and it all arrived first thing on Saturday which was so impressive! I have been using the Neem soap since then I really love how soft my skin feels afterwards and it doesn't dry it at all. I also used the lovely free sample face mask this morning, which also leaves the skin feeling lovely."

" The Ayurvedic Face Lift and Ayurvedic Weight Loss workshops were very good and I learned very much. The support diagrams and theory texts are clear and well organised but mostly, it is Dr Apte's ability to teach in a holistic manner, going to the bottom of the question each everytime, that made us feel such an upgrade in both our knowledge and confidence to practice."
M&L, Portugal
"Dr Apte’s knowledge about Ayurveda was very comprehensive and she was fascinating to listen to, and I think I speak for the entire group when I say, ‘we had a great day’. Deepa was a lovely tutor with a great presence and she delivered the course for us in such an enjoyable, easy manner. We all found the routine flowed seamlessly and by the conclusion of the day we felt confident about performing an Ayurvedic Face Lift Massage."
CTN Network Members
"The depth and quality of information that I received on this course exceeded my expectations. Teaching is an art and you are artists; bringing the subject alive with analogies, experiences and such passion for the subject. I really enjoyed the interaction with you and the way we were able to ask questions freely. I really didn't want to go home."
S.Menon, Leamington Spa
"The highlight for me on the course was the tutor, Dr Deepa Apte, - very inspirational and passionate about the subject!"
E.Smith, Surrey
"Thank you so much for today's course. I thoroughly enjoyed it and am glad I shouted out louder than the rest to be your 'volunteer'! I'm definitely 'motivated' to go further down the Ayurevedic route and am seriously thinking about the 10-day course you are offering in March 2012. Once again, thank you so much for a thoroughly enjoyable informative day. Kind regards."
Lucy H., Ilford
"I just received your copper neti and tongue scraper yesterday. Got up and used it for the first time this morning. LOVE IT. So much more of a cleansing effect than ceramic, plastic netis or stainless steel scrapers. Are they made in India? I would love to distribute the two products wholesale to local yoga studios here in Windsor. Can you give me details on wholesale prices and options and recommend any other products you might have."
Devon B, Canada

"I won a bottle of Brahmi and Amla with Mandarin Hair Oil in a competition. My hair oil arrived whilst I was on holiday, so I have only just had an opportunity to use it. Wow - I put the product on as per your instruction sheet and I left it on all day. In the evening I showered and washed my hair and my hair felt soft and silky for a week afterwards, despite having washed my hair a couple of times since. amazing product and I will definitely be buying it in future, regards"
