Ayurveda Demystified: For Optimum Western Living

AVAILABLE ON

 Introducing Ayurveda into Western living involves understanding a new language, new philosophy and new lifestyle, not an easy task. However, as an instructor, I quickly discovered that the wisdom is worth pursuing; following this modified basic wisdom taught in the accompanying class became an easy task. As an instructor of the introductory Ayurveda class, I re-named the body’s three energy flows based upon Ayurveda Sanskrit terms.  

The Sanskrit terms — Vata, Pitta and Kapha became the appropriate Western functions – movement, processing and storage. Ayurveda Demystified helps an individual identify their personal dominant energy flow.  With this knowledge, they can look for and apply the best remedies or foods for a healthy body. The next step is a choice.  Do they stay with this amount of information or expanding their knowledge?
