Ayurveda
ˌɑːjʊəˈveɪdə,-ˈviːdə/
noun
- The traditional Hindu system of medicine (incorporated in Atharva Veda, the last of the four Vedas), which is based on the idea of balance in bodily systems and uses diet, herbal treatment, and yogic breathing.
According to Depak Chopra the two most important ideas behind Ayurveda are first that the mind and body are inextricably linked and second that nothing has greater power to heal the body than the mind.
Yoga is the practice recommended by Ayurveda for preparing the mind for meditation through movement and breathing.
Yoga is essential to optimal health according to Ayurvedic Medicine. Yoga is one of five essential practices. The other four are: healthy diet, meditation, massage and cleansing rituals.
If you are serious about your yoga practice you should research the Ayurvedic system of medicine. You will discover a treasure trove of information and guidance to improve your health, well being and longevity.
