Ayurveda to course correct your life!

Ayurveda

Let’s use Ayurveda to get back on track! Have you let things slide? Do you remember what happened when life slowed us all down in lockdown? Did you notice what grew from that enforced stillness?

Ayurveda Detox

Our Yoga practice is a very personal thing. It is the journey to the self.

    # 2 THE YOGA LOCAL Podcast | Can I eat meat and be a yogi?

    yoga blog ayurveda

    Does doing Yoga mean I can’t eat meat, eggs or dairy?

    5 things that Ayurveda has taught me and guides my choices.

    Today we’re taking about two things.

    Ahimsa and Veganuary.

    It’s also ‘Go Vegan in January’ month… or Veganuary.

     

    So sit back relax and find out how I’m guided to make choices through the teachings of Ayurveda on this week’s podcast.

    Learn how to enhance your capacity to detox and rejuvenate with yoga.

    To be healthy is our natural state and yoga, under the umbrella of its sister science of life, Ayurveda, is part of a whole system of healing.

    So you may love working with the poses and using them as a benchmark to some kind of physical prowess, but forget the alignment of your downward dog for a second and instead shift your emphasis on both yoga and meditation as tools to get every aspect of your ‘being’ working in harmony.
