Your Teacher
My name is Sara Palmer (Shama) and I am the founder of Heart of Ayurveda.
I have always loved cooking, experimenting with taste combinations and influenced by the countries in which I have spent considerable time: family recipes in the UK, Japanese, Italian, and Indian foods.
I have always cooked plant based meals, and since immersing myself into the Ayurveda way of living and eating, I now enjoy balancing tastes and food groups for the seasons and my metabolic type.
I am passionate about sharing the same know how with my clients and students so that they might find the same joy of being creative with flavours, whilst at the same time understanding how to create balanced menu plans to maintain optimum weight, good digestion, clear skin, and to support overall health and vitality all year round.
