THE AYURVEDA OF YOGA
at YogaWorks Westwood
Ayurveda and yoga are considered “sister sciences” that have been united for thousands of years for the sake of healing body, mind, and consciousness. Generally speaking, Ayurveda deals more with the health of the body, while yoga deals with purifying the mind and consciousness, but these two purposes complement and embrace each other. Besides sharing a philosophical foundation, both systems have many similarities in relation to attitude, nutrition, diet, hygiene, exercise and spiritual practices. Yoga practitioners can benefit from a basic knowledge of Ayurveda to help establish a healthy daily routine and adjust their practice according to their constitution, dosha imbalance and environmental/seasonal influences to prevent disease and promote longevity. In this workshop we will learn some of the basic concepts of Ayurveda and how they relate to our practice of yoga.
