Dr. Rakhshani has a doctoral degree in yogic sciences and has published several scientific articles in major international journals. His clinical research includes the effects of yoga in low-risk and high-risk pregnancies. He is a frequent guest speaker at UNCA Health and Wellness Department and other institutions.
From the yogic point of view, our existence is not limited to our physical body alone. Our therapies aim to uproot the cause of the disorders in the mind, relax the symptoms in the physical body, and focus on the health of the mind. Gastrointestinal: including constipation, IBS, chronic acid reflux, candidiasis and leaky gut syndrome.
The West has come to know yoga as a recreational exercise to stay fit. However, in the East, yoga has been used as a preventive therapy to manage lifestyle related disorders for thousands of years. It takes years of studying the Vedic sciences, applying the knowledge to chronic ailments in hospital settings, and research work to become a doctor and an expert in using yoga as a mind-body therapy.
Gastrointestinal: including constipation, IBS, chronic acid reflux, candidiasis and leaky gut syndrome. NOTE: While our therapies cannot reverse existing structural damages (such as ruptured disk or arthritis), they can strengthen the supporting muscles, slow the progression of the condition, increase circulation, loosen fascia, reduce muscle spasm and improve flexibility, elasticity, and range of motion.
Dr. Rakhshani is a certified Medical Massage Practitioner (MMP). Medical massage is a treatment that is specifically directed to resolve diagnosed conditions such as inflammation, chronic pain, motility disorders, and skeletal muscular strains. Medical massages produce many benefits that includes relaxing tight and sore muscles, alleviating stress, strengthening muscles, and relieving nerve compression.

My name is Abigail and I am 60 years young. I was diagnosed with IBS 15 years ago, but have been suffering from it for 45 years, therefore my diet has been very limited most of my life. I have also been diagnosed with Meniere’s Syndrome 2 1/2 years ago but have been suffering with the symptoms for 12 years. After having three crisis this past February, I decided to research on my own more deeply (conventional medicine was not helping me at all with neither of my conditions). In various articles that I read, it was mentioned that Ayurveda massage can help relief the Meniere’s by decreasing the

The WELLNESS CENTER is sensational and is much more than a Yoga Wellness Center. Dr. Rakhshani combines Eastern and Western medicine
to help each and every person. I am approximately 70 years and finally compete in tennis like I was in my 30's. I am critical of massages but this is in a different level. Leaving his office I feel taller, younger, happier and healthier after my sessions. Hope more people discover this center and realize how lucky we are to have the luxury of Dr. Rakhshani!!!

Dr. Rakshani and the Yoga Wellness Center
I started seeing Dr. Rakshani in early April. Dr. Rakshani heard from my wife, Debbie, that I have a cardiac condition that will likely need surgery down the road, but by getting back into shape should postpone the surgery. While I had been trying to loose weight for years, my weight remained borderline obese and I often found myself with very low energy late in the day. Dr. Rakshani assured Debbie that he could help.
I met with Dr. Rakshani and agreed to see him regularly ten weeks. He recommended some changes in diet, added some supplements and massage

Dr. Rakhshani is gentle, thorough, and thoughtful. He customized yoga exercises both for a morning routine and an evening routine to help me get better sleep. His massages are very relaxing. I especially like how he listens to what I need and adapts to that. He is very compassionate and easy to work with. I would highly recommend him to all my friends!
