About TSA
Jeff Perlman

My Alternative Health Clinic is located in Los Angeles and is based on the beliefs of Ayurveda, the traditional medical system of India. I offer evaluations and consultations, nutritional, dietary, and detoxification programs, massage, marma, aroma therapies, and yoga instruction and therapy. I also have a licensed herbal pharmacy on site.

​​

I originally studied nutrition before graduating from the Cordon Bleu and worked as a professional chef for many years. After an injury and health concerns, I decided to focus my attention on holistic health, and I pursued an education in alternative medicine. I am certified as a Clinical Ayurvedic and Panchakarma Specialist, a nutritional professional, an AHG herbalist, and a massage, marma, and aroma therapist. 

 

Additionally, I am certified as a yoga instructor and therapist by the Iyengar Yoga National Association, the International Association of Yoga Therapists, and the National Ayurvedic Medical Association.

The Power of Breath

Introduction to Pranayama

 

 

 

 

Sunday, July 12th, 2026

3-4:30 PM

Santa Monica Yoga

$30 or Class Pass

Yogic breathing, known as Pranayama or “Conscious Breathing.” It is vital because Prana (life force) carries our presence, awareness, creativity, and intelligence, and brings balance and harmony to the body, mind, and spirit.

In this class, I will introduce you to the theory and practice, starting with a rejuvenative yoga sequence to prepare the body, followed by a breathing practice you can do at home.

This class is appropriate for all levels.

The Yoga of Summer

 

 

 

 

Sunday, July 26th, 2026

2-4 PM

Iyengar Yoga Santa Monica

The summer season shares the same energies as the Pitta Dosha in Ayurveda, both being hot, sharp, and unstable, and can become imbalanced during this time, leading to inflammation, summer allergies, and dehydration. 

Join me for this class, where I will introduce you to the basics of Ayurveda and the summer season, share daily practices and products that bring balance and harmony, along with a cooling, grounding, and calming yoga and breathing sequence.

This class is appropriate for all levels.
