The Sister Sciences: Yoga & Āyurveda
Weave Āyurveda back into the fabric of your yoga practice, and experience a deeper sense of self, connection and wellness.
Embrace Āyurveda’s ancient wisdom for profound wellness
Understand and nurture your body and its unique inner workings through Āyurvedic medicine.
Āyurveda helps you feel grounded and in tune with your inner and outer body because it takes an individual approach. It’s an ancient way of life yet works very well in today’s world.
The benefits of regular yoga for increased body suppleness and balance are well-known. When you balance yoga principles with Āyurvedic knowledge, it has a positive and compounding effect on your health and wellbeing.
Why Āyurveda?
By understanding the nature and action of the five elements, ether, air, fire, water and earth and their inherent qualities (gunas), Āyurveda guides a path to equilibrium and balance.
Āyurveda uses food and cooking, herbs and spices, lifestyle, traditional bodywork (such as abhyanga and shirodhara), yoga and pranayama to help relieve symptoms of imbalance and to restore vitality to the body and mind.
By understanding that we are a reflection of Nature, and learning how we embody and express the five elements’ ether, air, fire, water and earth and their inherent qualities (gunas), Āyurveda provides practical tools that promote equilibrium and balance.
Āyurvedic remedies are often given as daily practices in diet and lifestyle choices that support strong digestion, good quality sleep and a feeling of vitality. Āyurveda sees all beings as unique and individual, no two are the same.
Because of this each person's needs are also unique and individual, making Āyurveda unlike other systems of healing.
