Āyurvedic Yoga
In this book, Mona explores an approach to Yoga that refines your understanding of how and when to use each practice in your toolkit. It encourages teachers to design yoga classes that move beyond poses alone, and instead using Āyurveda to balance specific aspects of your students’ lives.
Discover how the ancient practice of Yoga and the equally ancient medical science of Āyurveda can be combined in a way that compliments each other, while honoring their unique individual elements. Mona will show you how this combination of modalities - one a medical science and the other a science of self-realization - can create more potency in the Yoga tools and techniques.
What you'll learn
In this book, you’ll learn how to blend Āyurveda and Yoga together in a skillful and thoughtful way—a way that can turn Yoga into Āyurvedic medicine for yourself and your students. You’ll learn three unique approaches for bringing Āyurveda into group Yoga classes such as:
Qualities of nature (guṇas): This is the language of Āyurveda and a fundamental concept to understand. Learn how to translate this into how you choose and teach the Yoga techniques.
Organizing energies of the body-mind (doṣas): Increase your students’ well-being by connecting them to the rhythms of nature.
Special topics specific to Āyurveda, such as agni, sattva, and ojas.
The ancient wisdom and knowledge provided by Yoga and Āyurveda can inspire and revitalize your group Yoga practice. Join Mona on the journey of blending these two powerful and brilliant Vedic sciences to deepen the understanding and practice of both!
