I turn 60 next week, so not sure if I found this early in my life.π But the combination of yoga and Ayurveda have helped me to attain a level of self awareness which is the key to preventing disease.
Early on, I was dissatisfied with allopathic, reactionary, compartmentalized methods of dealing with health. Ayurveda made sense intuitively and I could test it on myself.
My yoga teachers discussed utilizing the movement of energy in the body and understanding the nature of the mind as a means to feeling balanced. So I already had a deep understanding of these foundational principles before my first Ayurveda class. Ayurveda blew my mind.
I enjoy sharing this with people β¨π
