Sandhi Ayurveda Clinic Presents the 3rd International Ayurveda, Yoga & Wellness Convention

My Ayurveda teacher, a  Catholic priest from Kerala, India helped introduce the ancient healing system of Ayurveda to the Philippines more than 20 years ago. Today, Father Jacob Gnalian actively runs his clinic, the Sandhi Ayurveda Clinic and Research Center in Mandaluyong, and helps patients find the path to healing through the natural way of Ayurveda. 

 

Literally translated as the "science of life," Ayurveda is an ancient medical science aimed at preventing and curing illnesses through the restoration and maintenance of the fundamental balance of the living body as a whole.

 

Now on its third year, Sandhi Ayurveda Clinic once again invites the public to learn more about Ayurveda, as well as other healing modalities like Theta Healing and H202 Therapy, in the 3rd International Ayurveda, Yoga and Wellness Convention and Expo on October 27 to 28, 2012 at the Alberione Auditorium, Daughters of St. Paul, 2650 F.B. Harrison St., Pasay City. 

 

Lectures, workshops, and hands-on exercises will be presented by Father Jacob and other invited experts from India and the Philippines. There will be lectures and workshops on Philippine herbs, yoga, preparation of home remedies, cooking healthy dishes, and many more. Health and wellness products will also be available for sale in the exhibitors section.

Fr. Jacob Gnalian during his birthday 2008

When I attended the first Power of Healing Conference a couple of years ago, I heard from one participant that there is a foreign Catholic Priest in Mandaluyong who is an Ayurveda practitioner.  I asked around but no one can point me to the right person. A year or so after while surfing the internet on Ayurveda, I found the site
of Fr. Jacob Gnalian and corresponded with him via email.

I also found an old article in inquirer.net about him but unfortunately it does not seem to be online now so I am re printing the article below.

The address given in the online article is the old one. Today his clinic is found at Lee St. right next to the Lee Bldg at the corner of Shaw Blvd and Lee St.

I used to see him for more quite sometime and even attended his yoga classes each Sunday.  A year after he decided to offer Ayurveda classes which lasted around six months which I also attended.  I learned a lot in his class but more importantly he has helped me normalize my blood sugar levels.
