How are Yoga and Ayurveda related?

Yoga and Ayurveda come from the same roots, and they work best together.

Yoga is the union of mind and body with spirit. Through breath and movement, it connects you to your true self.

Ayurveda is its counterpart. It looks at the body and how the world around us affects it: the seasons, what we eat, the changes life brings. I think of it as a survival guide to living on earth. Its tools come in through the senses: food, herbs and spices, colours, scents, warm oil massage.

The practice is simple: notice the changes in your body and mind, then take small steps to come back to balance. In Ayurveda, health means living in line with your true nature.
