Yoga and Ayurveda

Camden, Maine

Background of Yoga and Ayurveda

part 1 of Yoga and Ayurveda series

 "Yoga is one of the most extraordinary spiritual sciences that mankind has ever discovered.  Yoga covers physical, sensory, emotional, mental and spiritual to the highest self-realization. " (Farwley, David, Yoga&Ayurveda, 1999)

  "Ayurveda is one of the most remarkable holistic medical systems in the world.  It covers all aspects of health and well-being, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.  It includes all methods of healing from diet, herbs, exercise and lifestyle." (Farwley, David, Yoga&Ayurveda, 1999)

Both yoga and ayurveda have a  long history with many layers to the science of each.  I believe that people will benefit from both.  As I look at both yoga and ayurveda, the two look at the person individually, bringing total awareness to the forefront.  Heal yourself through wholeness, sometimes this incudes therapists or doctors.  

The combination of studying yoga and ayurveda helps us understand our whole life.  Balancing our lives through the mind, body and spirit. 

If you are interested in learning more about ayurveda and your individual constitution take a simple test on line to find your dosha, (your unique mind-body type) and continue to follow this series on ayureda.  I hope to make it simple, fun and educational.  Journey with me and learn to balance your life.
