YOGA & MEDITATION

Yoga is a powerful complement to Ayurvedic treatments

Ayurveda and yoga stem from the same philosophy. No surprise then that they both complement each other beautifully. Both examine the body and mind from the perspective of maintaining of health and treatment of diseases. Only recently embraced in the West, yoga has been practiced in India for hundreds of years as a powerful complement to Ayurvedic medicine and healing. Yogic postures and breathing techniques have long been known for their health benefits.

The 15th century manual on Yoga practice, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, states that practising the postures (asana) will result in “sturdiness, absence of disease and lightness”. Some of the asanas activate the endocrine system, which consists of ductless glands. The endocrine system is responsible for keeping all the vital organs healthy and functioning properly, and aims at the perfection of the body. Apart from the curative value, yoga has a calming quality and brings tranquillity into our lives. The two aspects of yoga thus make it a powerful tool for coping with the physical and mental stress of modern day living.
