Ayurveda

Yoga and Ayurveda are sister sciences.  According to the ancient texts, yoga is the science of self-realization and Ayurveda is the science of self-healing.  Ayurveda aims to relieve imbalances in the body and mind which are believed to be the root of disease. 

According to Ayurveda, at the moment of conception your "constitution" is determined and manifests as the three "doshas" — Vata, Pitta and Kapha.  Generally, one of these becomes your primary dosha.  Each dosha manifests with unique physical, mental, emotional and spiritual characteristics. 

Doshas are energetic aspects of the subtle body that continuously move between balance and imbalance.  Balance promotes healing and health; imbalance moves you toward disease.  The balance of your doshas changes during each 24-hour cycle.  It also changes from day-to-day and it is influenced by the seasons of the year and by the stages of life.

What does this have to do with yoga?  By understanding your constitution, yoga practices can be personalized for individual needs to support daily and seasonal balance of your doshas and to promote harmony and overall well-being.
