I want to teach you to see yourself through the Science of Life.

Ayurveda, Yoga, and Herbalism. Three pillars that changed my life, and now my offerings to you.

Ayurveda

आयुर्वेद

The Science of Life. I use Ayurveda to understand your constitution, your current state, and your daily rhythm. All to bring you back to your naturla state of balance, known as Prakṛti.

Yoga

योग

The practice imbued with spirituality. Breath, posture, and philosophy. We will explore every facet of the mind and consciousness. Let us walk the trails of the great sages, and come to understand the meaning of life.

Herbalism

औषधि

Natural medicine is a gift from Mother Earth. I work with the plants, and I teach you how to make your own: teas, tinctures, salves, and more.

My journey

How I came to this work

I started meditating as a child, then spent years going on and off, trying to understand what I was feeling, stepping away when it overwhelmed me, and returning when life forced me to pay attention. What brought me back most steadily was plants, then Ayurveda, and the understanding that healing yourself and caring for the world around you aren't separate.

What happens in a session

We start by settling in, either with a brief meditation, sometimes a chant, or a simple Om.

The first hour is mostly me reading you. I seek to understand the dharma in your words, and your own connection to it.

Parīkṣā

परीक्षा

The examination

Ayurveda offers many ways of understanding a person. The four I lean on most are below, used together rather than in sequence.

NāḍīPulse reading
Under three fingers I listen for the pulse. Its quality, its rhythm, and its depth. Which dosha is moving, and most of all how prana moves. Reading the pulse is a conversation between my prana and yours.
JihvāTongue
Coating, color, cracks, and edges. The tongue is the map of the digestive tract laid out in plain view, and it is tied to other organs as well. A beautiful tool for understanding our state of vitality.
DṛkObservation
I observe how you sit, the light in your eyes, the cadence of your speech, the quality of your skin, and much more. Not with judgment, but with pure attention and compassion towards your health.
PraśnaQuestioning
A typical clinical panel of questions and conversation as diagnosis, but with a truly holistic approach. There is a saying that the client speaks truth, even between the words. I learn what you eat and when. What wakes you at night and why. What you crave, what you avoid, and what you may no longer notice.

Testimonials

I suffered chronic pain for 7 years, seeking help from numerous specialists who offered the same advice: more pain meds and acceptance. Two sessions with Isai brought almost complete relief and a plan to tackle underlying health issues. Now, over a year later, my illness is under control, with little chronic pain.

Marissa M

Isai was easy to talk to and made the whole process very educational and specific to my needs. He listened to my concerns and goals and helped me make attainable changes while checking in with me weekly. Through our meetings, I learned about myself and how to incorporate Ayurvedic practices into my day-to-day life.

Christina B

I benefit greatly from Isai’s offerings. His knowledge of meditation and Ayurvedic lifestyle is exceptional. But beyond that, he helps you in a way that sticks with you. He is great at imparting wisdom in small bite-size chunks that you can take with you week-to-week and integrate into your life. With Isai, I finally found a teacher who makes the practice accessible!

Cala Z

In all the years I have been in the yoga and wellness industry, I have never met anyone like Isai Chaidez. In an industry that can be clouded with ego and attachment to aesthetic, Isai is an unbelievably refreshing gift. Consistent, kind, an incredible listener and intelligent, far beyond his years, Isai is a beautiful reminder of why the wellness industry should not only survive, but thrive.

Anna D

Isai is amazing! Once I made him a part of my health journey I noticed improvement. He is always happy to educate me on my health by answering my questions and I feel that really helps me stick to the plan he has laid out for me. Highly recommend!

When this becomes a sustained practice

What you have read above is how I work. The best way I know to bring it all together is The Voyage. Three months, with a session each week.

Frequently asked questions

Can't find the answer you're looking for? Contact Me

What does Arvoya mean?
Arvoya is a play on the words "Our Voyage," honoring the idea that the journey to health is something we share. It reflects a collaborative approach to well-being and the reminder that you are not alone on this path.
What should I expect from a session?
Sessions run 60–90 minutes depending on where we are in the voyage. We talk about your body, your patterns, what’s shifting and what isn’t. I ask questions, listen deeply, and share observations grounded in Ayurvedic science, herbalism, and yogic wisdom. Some sessions involve hands-on practices we do together. Others are entirely conversation. The work is about awareness as much as action.
Do I have to follow an Ayurvedic diet?
No. Ayurveda is a way of understanding what your body is asking for right now, not a fixed set of rules. We start from where you are, what you actually eat, and what your digestion is telling us. The shifts are gradual, particular to you, and made with your life in mind.
Do I need a yoga practice to work with you?
No. Yoga shows up differently for each person. For someone with a strong asana background, we may go deeper into pranayama, meditation, or philosophy. For someone brand new, we might begin with five minutes of breath in the morning. The point is the practice meeting you where you are.
Who are your teachers?
These are some of the most influential and I hope this list will forever grow: Dr. Vasant Lad, Jiwan Shakti (Dr. Genceli), Dr. Dhaval Dhru, Dr. Kaleb Lund, Dr. Sheila Kingsbury, Dr. Eric Yarnell, Dancing Crow (Dr. Deborah Frances), Dr. Brigid Lunder, Dr. Bill Dean, Dr. Pranav Lad, Dr. Jenn Dazey, Dr. Robert Svoboda, Crystal Hamby, Keith Topar, Caitlin Gilson, Sneha Raichada, Rosemary Gladstar, Karren Abrams, Shannon Kelly, my mother, my father.
What is your cancellation policy?
Sessions can be rescheduled up to 24 hours in advance. Late cancellations are reviewed individually.
