Welcome to Hidden Health Center!

Hidden Health Center, established in 2001 in Philadelphia, PA, focuses on providing natural, holistic health services based on the world's oldest continually practiced system of healthcare, Ayurveda. We understand that health is an outward expression of an inner experience; and everyone's inner experience is different. With healthful living becoming a trend, it is hard to know which direction is right for you. There are options for diet, exercise, meditation, even the best water to drink. It can be overwhelming and frustrating, especially when what worked for your friend or family member is not working out the same way for you, and no one can tell you why. We understand because we know that you are unique. We work to help you align with your right to live life fully, healthfully, and completely doing what is best for your individual needs. Hidden Health Center can support you through its many services ranging from Ayurvedic medicine and various massage techniques to yoga classes and cooking workshops. What serves you best is what we are here to provide. We support you through the changes YOU are ready to make in your life!

"I first met and worked with Antonio in his yoga "fundamentals" class, where I quickly learned he was no ordinary yoga teacher. His approach to yoga, and integration of Ayurvedic principles into the class and practice, are unique in my experience, and profoundly special. Due to the small classes and Antonio's Ayurvedic expertise, he was able to tailor my yoga experience to best support the systems of my body and particular health challenges I faced at any given time. His wisdom, insight, and sensitivity to the needs of the individual are hallmarks of his approach, which includes never losing his sense of humor. This man is a gifted practitioner, teacher, and special human being. I have worked with him as a private client as well, and introduced others to his class -- the most recent of whom afterwards said, "Now that's what a yoga class oughta be!" - Rebecca Freedman

"An Ayurveda consultation with Vishnu is a valuable experience on so many levels. His ability to truly listen to his client allows him to assist you to uncover what the real issue/need is. The support and dedication that he shows his client is comforting. He truly wants each person to live a joyous life. His many gifts that I have experienced are marma therapy, massage, breathing techniques and coaching on eating for my body type. For me learning about Ayurveda has been life changing. Vishnu and his guidance has played a big part of this change."

- Kathie Pitochelli

"His joyful spirit, gifted hands and warm heart make any time spent with Vishnu a delight. Treat your body and spirit to his healing touch."
