What is the YATAN Approach to Ayurvedic Treatment?
Imagine a healthcare system that combines the ancient wisdom of India with a holistic, modern approach to healing—this is the YATAN Ayurveda way. Vaidya Raman Das Mahatyagi envisioned this integrated path to health and well-being back in 1979. Drawing on the powerful teachings of the Vedic Sciences and decades of personal experience as a yogi, he developed what we now call the YATAN approach.
What does YATAN stand for?
Yoga – Ayurveda – Tantra – Astrology – Nature
Raman Das introduced the YATAN approach to Australia in 2000, bringing a fresh perspective to holistic health. By 2012, the YATAN Centre was established in Gordon, NSW, offering a comprehensive range of Ayurvedic consultations, treatments, and personalized wellness programs.
Yoga
YOGA is more than just exercise; it is, in fact, the Vedic science of self-realization. Through postures, breathwork (pranayama), and meditation, you can reconnect with your inner self. Yoga revitalizes your body, boosts nutrient flow, restores flexibility, and harmonizes your systems. It mends old pathways and builds new ones, helping you feel balanced and energised.
Ayurveda
AYURVEDA, meaning “knowledge of life,” is the world’s oldest continuous system of medicine, practiced for over 3,000 years. This ancient practice recognizes that each individual has a unique constitution, shaped by a blend of the three doshas. Factors such as lifestyle, diet, or external influences like climate can disrupt the balance of the doshas, which can then lead to illness. Ayurveda emphasizes maintaining a strong digestive ‘fire’ (Agni) and a toxin-free body (Ama) as the foundation of good health. Tailoring daily routines to your constitution helps support physical, mental, and emotional harmony.
Tantra
TANTRA goes beyond conventional medicine, teaching you how to live in sync with the natural forces around you. By working with subtle energies, Tantra empowers you to harness the power of your mind and unlock the tools needed to achieve your goals. It’s about aligning your inner world with the flow of life creating vitality and balance.
Astrology
Did you know that your health and emotions are influenced by the planets? VEDIC ASTROLOGY acknowledges that each person has a unique biorhythmic pattern shaped by planetary positions. By understanding these patterns, you can neutralize negative influences (bad karma) and maximize positive ones, turning life’s challenges into opportunities.
Nature
NATURE holds essential tools for healing that we often overlook in our busy modern lives. Simple yet powerful practices, like soaking in the sun’s warmth to boost vitamin D or grounding yourself on dewy grass to release built-up electrical charges and stress, are gifts of the natural world that cost nothing but bring immense benefit. YATAN encourages reconnecting with these timeless practices to harness nature’s healing power.
