Embodied Ayurveda for Yoga Practitioners: Increasing the Healing Potential of Yoga

Embodied Ayurveda for Yoga Practitioners interweaves yoga, Ayurveda and somatic awareness into a potent process for self-care. In their unique ways, these three disciplines all are about self-awareness. The practices offered here are somatic-awareness invitations to experience Ayurvedic principles as living, breathing realities in one's own body. Once they are embodied, Ayurvedic principles can easily become a natural enhancement to any yoga practice. Yoga practitioners intuitively adapt their practice to how they are feeling. If they are low in energy, they will do a less vigorous practice. A restorative practice is more appealing when they are not feeling well. When stressed, they might be attracted either to a challenging practice that washes away the tension, or to a gentle practice that soothes the body/mind. All of this is common sense and instinct. The goal of this book is helping people to bring this common sense/instinct into full consciousness and to further develop it using Ayurveda. A beginning practitioner can integrate Ayurvedic principles into their learning of yoga. Established and advanced practitioners will discover a world of subtle adjustments and focuses to add freshness, healing potency and breadth to their practice. Yoga teachers gain the knowledge and understanding to tailor practices to the individual needs of their students. Embodying Ayurveda gives all yoga practitioners powerful self-care tools.
