Inspirations 

"When I decided to turn myself towards yoga and ayurveda, one year ago, my health wasn't that good and I felt the emergency to do something about it as soon as possible. At this time, I was treated for hypothyroidisms and took a daily medication.
The hardest part for me was the fact that I gained weight. I used to be very thin and to have gained so much weight in such a short period of time made me feel miserable and very uncomfortable. But my goal was to be healthy again not to loose weight right away. Starving myself wouldn't have solved the main issue anyway!
I have always been attracted by ayurvedic medicine but never took the time to take care of myself in a proper way always finding an excuse to not do anything to improve my way of life. Until the day your body cries and asks for help!
Then, I felt the impending need to take a step towards a drastic change. Determined to change my habits, I met Cameron warmly recommended by a good friend of mine.
From this very precise moment, my life changed. I started to practice yoga twice a week with Cameron. We focused on certain postures to get rid of the main issues (digestion, throat, thyroid…). Then when I was ready to practice by myself, he started to give me some treatment to go deeper in the cleansing (herbal teas, massages…).
In a meantime, he highly recommended me to stop eating meat and fish for a while. Which I did the day I met him for the first time. Because, I love meat (and especially raw meat), I thought it would be very hard for me to stop. But because I felt the benefits in a very short period of time, I didn't even notice that this type of food was missing in my plate. I have zero frustration! I cook seasonal vegetables and eat fruits every day with a great pleasure and, sometimes, I allow myself a good "éclair au café" as a treat!
A while ago, I decided to go back to see my doctor to check on my thyroid and got a blood test. Everything is back to normal. No more hypothyroidisms! And the cherry on the cake is that I lost the weight I gained because of this problem!
It is been almost a year now that I have been practicing yoga every day between 45 minutes and 1 hour. It is a part of my life now and I feel that my day is not complete if I don't practice for a reason or another. It helps me a lot on every aspects of my life.
I enjoy the way I eat and because I changed so much over the past 10 months, some of my most reluctant friends are starting to think the same way and change their food habits.
Each experience is different from one to an other but the result of this journey can be the same for the one who has decided to improve his health and way of life.
By following the advices that Cameron provided me, I truly improved the quality of my health in particular and my life and in general.

Even, if Paris was not built in a day, it is worth it! Efforts and determination inevitably bear fruit at one point!"

I know it's a bad cliché to say that someone (especially a spiritual healer) 'changed my life.' But with Cameron, it's true.

Let me rephrase that. He didn't really change my life... but rather, he helped me to change it myself. And I think that's the best kind of change a person can experience (teach a man to fish....). Cameron, very kindly and gently offers insights and suggestions. He tells stories and explains processes. He helps navigate this sometimes unfamiliar territory with grace and understanding and humor.

I had spent years feeling sick, and being at the mercy of my body. I consulted with Western and Eastern doctors. I was tested and examined by a multitude of 'experts.' One after another they prescribed drugs and supplements and foods and therapies -- traditional as well as alternative. I followed each one through the recommended time with no positive results, and then the 'expert' would throw up their hands and pass me along to another 'expert.'

Along came Cameron, and with his guidance, I began an amazing transformation in a matter of weeks. This body, which was basically shutting down, started waking up and rejuvenating. Finally I was beginning to feel strong and more normal than I had in years. And all this came to me through simple, subtle changes that felt more harmonious and 'right' than anything I had tried before.

He personifies balance and peace.

Cameron, I honor the light in you, which is in us all.

With deep gratitude and love,

Tamara

A year ago I knew nothing about Ayurveda and only practiced basic yoga from time to time. I had a handful of problems; allergies, an ulcer, insomnia, fatigue, and a handful of medications that came along with it, none of which were making me feel that better. I was living between New York and Los Angeles and took frequent trips to Europe and Asia feeling unsettled wherever I went…then I consulted with Yogi Cameron. “Western medicine treats the symptoms, Ayurveda treats the cause”, was one of the first things he said to me. With a few simple adjustments to my diet and the time I ate I already started to feel better so I surrendered to exploring this “life knowledge” deeper and as he recommended started to practice yoga and Ayurveda every day.

Ayurveda rebuilt confidence in my own body and immune system. As I followed it’s daily instructions and herbal remedies all my health problems dissipated and I felt stronger and stronger each day.
Yoga peeled away at my layers and cleared blockages within my body and mind all by just doing the positions and postures, which would open me up for meditation. In meditation I started to learn about myself by seeing my thought patterns and understanding the way my mind worked. I saw the traps I was creating for myself and how to avoid all the chaos and conflict. A year into exercising this life knowledge of Ayurveda and yoga I know what inner peace feels like and I carry that personal serenity with me wherever I go. I continue to do my practice every morning and it continuous to change every day of my life.

Cameron Alborzian’s ability as a therapist is not in question. It was an intense experience. Months on, I still feel Alborzian’s steadying influence and take his advice pretty seriously. I am considerably happier. That is down to his skill as a therapist and his inner calm.

I met Cameron at a fund raising dinner in Paris and he said one sentence to me that struck such a cord of truth that it just ripped right through all the fog I had been living with for a few years. It caused a shift in me. It parted the haze and put me in the right direction.

I then started working with Cameron, having one on one sessions that began with a two-way discussion defining what I felt and why I was going around the circles. After this dialogue we moved into the second part of the treatment by doing yoga postures and breathing practices, which helped my body and mind release old thought patterns and gain strength in the areas that were the weakest.

Cameron has a very intuitive yet specific and professional way of working that is grounded in Ayurveda medicine and yoga therapy. With his guidance, step-by-step my whole life has transformed for the better.

Cameron,

I would like to thank you for conducting the great retreat at Esalen, and for the wonderful treatment that I received from you thereafter.

Your holistic mind-and-body approach to total health is something I had always been looking for.  It was very refreshing and heartwarming for me to hear from
you the importance that the mind plays in one's health. Furthermore, it was eye-opening for me to find out that naming one's "unnatural" state of health by
any name (such as cancer, heart problem, GI track problem, or liver problem) in the West limits Western medicine into a box, thus limiting holistic healing
possibilities for the individual.  Even using a western terminology, we are a system, complete with all our organs and our mind.  Just focusing on a limited
number of organs cannot bring complete health to a patient.  (I have had first-hand experience at a major university hospital, where the patient was being seen by half-a-dozen specialists;  however, no physician had the overall responsibility for the patient's well-being.)  Also, your yoga classes where at the level that I could benefit from - not excessive, but thorough. And your individual treatment was simply out of this world!  Before that treatment, I had never had every muscle in my body in a state of complete relaxation.  

Thank you!

I have been practicing yoga for 7 years. This retreat made me realize that the physical side of the yogic journey involves more than just my daily Mat practice -it involves everything I put in my body and how I feed myself both physically and emotionally.  Cameron engaged with our group in an entirely ego less manner, and presented us all with invaluable individual challenges to set us on the road to more fulfilled lives.

I loved the simplicity of Cameron's teachings, which finally made sense to me of the physical and spiritual yogic path.

Dear Cameron,

The experience was truly memorable and life-changing. Cameron’s approach and style in describing various concepts, his responses to questions people had, and his natural calmness toward almost everything and every subject was a testimony on power of “observation” and “contemplation” that he teaches. His yoga class was outstanding. We will definitely continue the practice of fasting that he recommended.

Overall, it was an unforgettable experience.

Hi Cameron 

The retreat was a truly inspirational experience, a natural and tranquil place to safely explore hidden issues.


The retreat helped me to become more emotionally and physically self aware. Teachings helped me see karmic balance to certain personal issues I am facing, releasing negative energy through the combination of yoga, pranayama and ayurvedic practice with focus on living in the moment.


 I felt the treatment was gentle but powerful, I had a delayed reaction, and 2 days later I experienced a lot of negative memories, suppressed feelings leading to arguments, sadness and anger.


I turned to my rock n roll lifestyle to cope but found this time it did not have the same comfort. This extreme experience was not enjoyable, light to dark but I can totally say that it enlightened aspects of my lifestyle that I never thought were such a problem as they are so accepted in my industry. My focus has changed to continued yoga practice, good diet and cutting out the major stimulants!


This is the new rock n roll!

I seemed to be doing a lot of living without life. Cameron helped me to remember how to live in the moment, how to enjoy and respect all that is in my life while it is there rather than constantly looking forward to what might be or looking back to great times, or to mistakes. I remembered that I was responsible for my life and what happens to me in it. And I learned how to reclaim that responsibility and enjoy it. He didn’t magic away any pain or fear or feelings that were inside me, but showed me how to accept and change them, good and bad, and to remember that it’s all ok. If life wasn't happening in the way I believed it would or should, he reminded me I didn't need to be frightened by that and not to be scared of my life, but to cherish every moment of it.


When I had my treatment with him, it released so much I can’t really articulate it. I felt free and stronger after. It was a gentle release that had such strength it is indescribable. And I still feel all those feelings as strongly as if I had just finished the treatment.

The more time I spent around his energy, the more I realized what a special gift I had chanced upon.
If you ever get the opportunity to spend time learning from Cameron, take it and allow it in. It will actually be life-changing.

Hi Cameron,

First and foremost I would like to thank you for an amazing week at the Ibiza retreat.It is to be the start I needed to turn another corner and continue on a journey into being the person I like. At the beginning your retreat hit a big out of tune cord because of my resistance to change but then Your guidance and support was and is very much appreciated cameron.

The pill thing was a big deal for me to overcome but with your help I found the courage to let go.

A couple of matters I decided to attend to on our
silent day.
1...Contact an ex and apologise..after two years of no
contact. Wanted to let go of the energy.

2...let go with intention the girl i've been seeing
for the last year..very hard...but the truth...

Adhering to your eating plan..eating before 6pm.Hot
Water before eating..yoga..breakfast at 11am.ect..really makes me want to make all the changes.

Less sleep and the anxiety I was feeling before is less than what I normally feel..letting go of stress and not filling the time with just anything...

I think that you are an amazing teacher, who walks the walk.

THANK YOU..
