Introduction to Yoga and Ayurveda

Just like yoga, the origins of Ayurveda can be found in ancient India. The two share a common language and common goals - to enhance the well-being of body, mind and spirit. There is much wisdom to be found in this medical system.

In understanding the 'inner', both Yoga, and, Ayurveda have made a deep study of the psycho-physical centres in the human body as well as the physiological structure of the body.

We hope that you will find out how Ayurveda and Yoga can help to keep you healthy, feel great and, if you are suffering from any illness, cure you. Both yoga and ayurveda have their origin in the Vedic tradition of India, and both are a means to gain better health. A verse from the Yoga Sutra, yogas chitta vritti nirodhaha, describes yoga as the settled state of the mind. He compares it to a verse from ayurvedic texts, svasmin dishati iti svasthah, which states that one who always remains united with the Self is a healthy person. These verses show that both yoga and ayurveda have the same goal which is attaining union with the Self, the most settled state of the mind.
