EBook — Introduction to Ayurveda        Size A4      Pages 64

Ayurveda is a fascinating study and a great practice for self-healing and self-care. As Ayurveda states, the emphasis is on “prevention rather than cure.” The earlier we catch imbalances the easier and more reliably we can turn them around and live a healthy life.

In this book you will learn about your Ayurvedic body type and are introduced to practices to find imbalances and how to correct them to balance your own body with the environment for health, vitality, and longevity. A personalized and participatory approach for you to adjust qualities that are imbalanced in your diet, daily routines, exercise, and lifestyle choices.

By introducing the opposite quality of an imbalance, we neutralize the imbalance allowing the body to regain balance. Specific Vata (air/space), Pitta (fire/water), and Kapha(earth/water) individualized energetic practices include specific nourishing, cooling, or stimulating actions to counter existing imbalance and ways to catch new imbalances before they become a problem.
