Who are we?

Elemental OM is a Company founded in the traditions of Ayurveda. Ayurveda is a preventative holistic practice originating in India that is over 5,000 years old. The lifestyle includes meditation, yoga, nutrition and much more.

The Company was founded by Pamela Quinn, Certified Chopra Center Instructor in both The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success and Perfect Health. Pamela has translated the ancient teachings of Ayurveda to be easy to understand and easy to incorporate into your life. Elemental OM is especially proud of it's 28 day Ayurvedic cleansing program, the Elemental Cleanse.

Our services are offered from our two studios located in the hearts of the historic districts of both Lebanon and Montgomery. The Lebanon studio, located at 46 East Mulberry, is over 100 years old. The building has been completely updated and renovated to create a serene and peaceful environment for your practice. We offer retail space to meet all of your Ayurvedic and yoga needs along with cozy places to just hang out with a good book. We even have a library where you can "check out" all the books your heart desires.

The Montgomery Studio is our new addition and the realization of a dream. We are located in a 60 year old building that was previously home to a flower shop at 9510 Montgomery Road. The building has been completely remodeled and includes 2,100 square feet of bamboo flooring, natural lighting and still carries the scent of the flowers that previously brightened people's lives there. True to our brand, we offer all the comforts of home including a place to grab a cup tea, borrow a book and snuggle up on our comfy couch. This studio's schedule has been specifically tailored to support participation in the Elemental Cleanse and to support your spiritual growth.

Our yoga studio is different than other studios you may have tried. We offer yoga for all body types and tend to get in people who are really trying to shift their minds to a peaceful place and their bodies to a healthier place of comfort. You will find lots of New to Yoga, Gentle Yoga and meditation on our schedule. We have stacked our schedule on Tuesdays, Wednesday and Thursdays so that you can make a whole night of healing for yourself. Come for a class focused on movement and stay for the next class focused on spirit.

Once you become part of the studio, it is inevitable that you will begin the study of Ayurveda. We make it fun and simple. You will learn that you are linked directly to nature and that you are made of some unique combination of the Earth's elements. You will begin to resonate in balance with the Wind, the Earth or the Fire.

The Wind

When you think of the Wind element in your body or mind, you have only to think of a leaf blowing on the fall breeze. The leaf itself is dry, brittle and fragile. The fall breeze is cool, crisp and light. It is erratic and undisciplined with no apparent logic, purpose or reason. It brings freshness, energy and a feeling of something exciting to come. The Wind in your mind is your thoughts. It is the gift of creativity and inspiration. The Wind in your body is the force of movement; talking, swallowing and eliminating. The Wind creates a person with a thin frame, irregular eating habits & quick speech. It creates a creative person with invigorating speech and an energetic and adaptable mind.

The Fire

When you think of the Fire element in your body or mind, you have only to think of a bonfire. The bonfire is hot, bright and pungent. The fire can flare up quickly to amazing intensity and then settle abruptly. The fire transforms all that it consumes. It radiates power, force and energy. The Fire in your mind is your ability to process emotions and ideas. It is the gift of discernment. The Fire in your body is the force of transformation; digestion, fighting infection and sight. The Fire creates a person with a strong build, strong digestion & precise speech. It creates a bright and warm person full of charm with high intelligence and good discrimination.

The Earth

When you think of the Earth element in your body or mind, you have only to think of a boulder sitting in a cool forest covered in moss. The boulder is heavy, dense and cool. It is strong, stable and inert. The boulder does not change quickly. It sits calmly through the shifting of the forest. The Earth in your mind is your ability to remember and feelings of compassion and understanding. It is the gift of love. The Earth in your body is stable, lubricating and predictable. The Earth creates a person who is heavyset with pore less smooth skin. It creates an easygoing, thoughtful and caring person that is devoted and loving.

Come join us for a month's unlimited pass and bring your body and mind to balance.
