Read MoreI have been working on striking a balance between progression and my ego. For many years I would go to yoga classes and be the most advanced person in the class. I remember I used to tell my mom I was more flexible than the people in the yoga videos I was practicing along with. My mom would say, "that's because you're a teenager, you'll see when you get older." I've finally understood what she meant.
Read MoreEvery time I do this pose I'm reminded of how long it took me to be able to do it. Years. Yes years.
I'm amazed at the progress of so many yogis and I'm equally in awe of how many advanced poses people can do who have only been practicing for a short time. I know that isn't my journey.
In Ayurvedic Yoga, the yoga asanas are used as a therapy or treatment. Because of this, it is important to choose yoga postures that are most balancing for each dosha both being mindful of the person’s prakruti or constitution and their vikruti or current imbalances. Kapha people will rarely resemble the typical yogi body type (which is not better than or worse than any other body type). Kapha types should love their bodies and not compare themselves to others or try to achieve shapes that are unnatural to them. This makes it very important that Kapha people practice asanas in a warming, stimulating, energizing and releasing way.

Pitta people often lose sight of the subtler aspects of yoga and often aren’t in the present moment when practicing. This makes it very important that Pitta people practice asanas in a non-competitive, cooling and nurturing way.

Vata people more than any other doshic type will feel the effects of practicing yoga incorrectly. This makes it very important that Vata people practice asanas in a steady, slow and grounding way.
Read MoreAyurveda and Yoga are called sister sciences; Ayurveda deals with the physical health of a person while Yoga deals with a person’s the mental and spiritual health. The practice of yoga is considered a chikitsa or treatment used in Ayurveda. Thusly, yoga is considered both a preventative and curative practice.
Read MoreMany people ask how Yoga and Ayurveda are related. It is often said that Ayurveda and Yoga are “sister sciences” or “two sides of the same coin.” Most people think of Yoga as just the asanas or yoga poses we practice in class, but Yoga covers much more. At the heart of Yoga is Patanjali’s Ashtanga or 8 Fold Path, sometimes referred to as the 8 Limbs of Yoga. These 8 Limbs are used in both Yoga and Ayurveda to bring balance to the body, mind and spirit.
