Ancient wisdom for balancing busy modern lives.
Ayurveda is an ancient South Asian system of holistic health and wisdom
that's been practiced throughout the world for thousands of years. It
teaches us to live in harmony with the world around us by balancing our
naturally-occurring physical and mental tendencies with the limitations
of our lives. Modern Ayurveda introduces you to the basics of the
Ayurvedic way of eating and lifestyle choices, with everything from
recipes and morning meditations to daily routines, personalized yoga
practices, and more.
Every recommendation in this book is designed to make Ayurveda doable
and accessible for busy people today. You will discover your dosha --
the particular type of energy that governs your natural tendencies --
and how to work with it for optimum well-being in body and mind.
Modern Ayurveda offers:
-
An ever-evolving way of being--Build your own flexible program of
complete self-care on a foundation of small actions.
-
7-day plans--Kickstart your journey into the Ayurveda way with a
1-week activity and eating plan for your dosha.
-
What's your type?--Take the test to find out whether your dosha
type is Kapha (strong, honest, nurturing), Pitta (athletic,
charismatic, authoritative), or Vata (willowy, spontaneous,
visionary).
Ayurveda will empower you to make simple changes that fit easily into
your everyday life.
