The Link Between Yoga and Ayurveda – Simplified


Listen Later

In this episode, we dive deep into the "link" between Yoga and Ayurveda. We've heard them be called 'sister sciences' before. But do you really understand how these two connect?

More importantly, how can you leverage Ayurveda as a yoga teacher or practitioner to benefit you?

Our guest Nidhi Bhansali Pandya is a lifelong Ayurveda practitioner, teacher  and writer. She helps us understand this link, gives us actionable items to follow as yoga teachers and contextualizes Ayurveda for yoga students. There's a lot you'll get out of this conversation when you hit play.

Some highlights are...

  • Yoga and ayurveda as sister sciences & how?
  • A List of ayurveda practices that one should keep in mind
  • The three pillars of health according to Ayurveda
  • How much knowledge does the average asana teacher need to have about doshas?
  • What type of asana should you do for each dosha
  • What kind of pranayama for each dosha
  • How often should we be checking for our dosha balance or imbalance?
  • Mind management through Ayurveda. 
  • The ideal time for asana for all doshas 
  • Applying oil to your body & why it matters 

Plus more. Head to our show notes to learn more about Nidhi's extensive work in Ayurveda as well sign up for our newsletter.
