oga with an ayurvedic approach is considered to be a
niche market in the yoga world. But, as awareness of
the classical texts grows, there is also a slow realisation
that not only are the origins of Hatha Yoga linked to
ayurveda but also the extent to which ayurveda can
enrich our lives as practitioners.
There is a key concept at the heart of ayurveda – that of
Svasthya. You may already recognise at least a part of the word: Sva
means Self (think of Svasdisthana Chakra or Svadhyaya in the Yoga
Sutras). Svasthya in general terms simply means positive health but
not in the usual sense...ayurveda is profound.Tarik Dervish outlines some of the ways
in which ayurveda, often referred to
as yoga’s sister science, can help us live
happier, healthier lives
