Leela (Sanskrit) can be loosely translated as the “divine play”. Leela accurately describes the notion within yogic philosophy and that the whole world is the spontaneous creation of Brahman. It is sportive and playful, and emphasizes the fact that the world is born in freedom and playful creativity. Veda (from Ayurveda) is taken from Sanskrit meaning “to know”. Thus, veda means “knowledge or wisdom”. Our hope is that those who come to Leela Veda will enjoy their lives, be free of obstruction by way of detoxing, while allowing them to get back to feeling like their original selves.
The white egret is a large, widely distributed egret found throughout most temperate regions of the world. While I was practicing Ayurveda in southern India, I saw a great white egret perched atop a palm tree and was immediately fascinated by the godliness of her beautiful curved form. Located near Narita International Airport, we were inspired by the taking off of airplanes much in the way we were inspired by the white egret, and our hope is that you too will also take flight like this beautiful graceful bird, from Leela Veda.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Yoko Takeuchi, both owner and therapist at Leela Veda. Originally from the Shiretoko Peninsula, a World Heritage Site located in Hokkaido, Japan’s northern most island, I later moved to Sapporo where I worked for over 20 years with a major trading company before later becoming a yoga instructor. It was then that I became interested in the art of human health and healing.
When I worked in a salon in Narita, I met and treated many people from the world over, while expanding my interest in Ayurveda. I later made two trips to India to expand my horizons, firstly to Rishikesh, in the north of India, and then to Kannur in the south. In what was a wonderful experience I came to learn much from both the local inhabitants and the animals in the region. Ever since it has been my desire to put what I learned from my time in India into practice. In short, I have combined genuine Ayurveda elements from southern India with my own delicate Japanese technique.
