Ayurvedic practices applied to yoga asana
Ayurveda is a system that teaches the importance of (and how to) personalize our diet and lifestyle according to our personal, unique needs. Itâs said that Ayurveda and yoga are meant to be practiced together.
We may view Ayurveda as the study of matter and how we, as individuals, interact with matter. Everything we interact with and anything we take in through the senses is either medicine or poison for our body. When we are in balance with everything around us and within us, then we can connect more deeply to our soul and to the parts of us that are beyond this material world. Â
Have you ever done a physical activity that completely threw you out of balance? Perhaps you took a yoga class when you were seeking more energy only to feel more depleted when you left? This course is designed to help you understand where youâre at and what you need to either come to or maintain balance.
