The synergy between
Yoga & Ayurveda
Yoga and Ayurveda are considered sister sciences and have traditionally gone hand in hand to support human beings to live in balance with all of life and to grow spiritually. Yoga is the ‘science of self realization’ and Ayurveda is the ‘science of life and healing’.
Now more than ever, whole-systems approaches are needed in addressing whole-being health in the complexity of modern living. Ayurveda, ‘the science of life’, is a 6000 years evolved healing system from India which holds deep wisdom, vast knowledge and offers practical solutions to help us thrive and grow. It works with a deep understanding and honoring of the uniqueness and impermanence of all things as well as the interconnectivity between all things - our environment, our relationships, the food we eat, and of course our body, mind, heart and spirit.
