Benefits of Yoga and Ayurveda:
Yoga helps to improve flexibility, strength, and balance while also reducing stress and anxiety. Ayurveda focuses on maintaining the balance of the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) in the body, which is essential for overall health and well-being. When practiced together, yoga and Ayurveda work synergistically to promote optimal health. Yoga helps to balance the nervous system, which, in turn, helps to balance the doshas in the body. Ayurveda provides guidelines for diet, lifestyle, and herbal remedies that support the body’s natural healing process.
