Becoming a better version of ourselves
In Ayurveda, we learn that there is a form of exercise and a form of yoga suitable for each person. Each person has a unique body constitution, that is, a specific combination of the three energy humours: vata (air, movement, space), pitta (fire, intelligence, transformation) and kapha (fluidity, liquidity).
Once we know our body constitution in Ayurvedic terms, it becomes easier and easier to select the right type of yoga and the right type of exercise for our body, so as not cause harm or jury (ahimsa), and to increase functionality, vitality, and peace of mind.
Now you may ask, "Why do I need Ayurveda and yoga for these things? Can't I just find my way and see what works for me?" Sure, you can. But Ayurveda and yoga put you on the fast-track to knowing and understanding yourself.
Ultimately, we are all trying to become a better version of ourselves. Generally speaking, we are all trying to improve and live our lives in healthier, happier, and more productive ways. For all this and more, Ayurveda and yoga offer much knowledge and wisdom. Tricks of the trade. That's why Ayurveda is translated as Science of Life or Knowledge of Life.
AYURVEDA AND YOGA
Ayurveda and life, yoga and life, are inseparable. Yoga is your life when you are in union with your highest and best self, yet continually evolving.
AYURVEDA AND SELF-IMPROVEMENT
Ayurveda is fundamentally about self-improvement with a view to self-healing. Ayurveda does not recommend that we make drastic changes overnight, which may disturb the mind and be unsustainable in the long run. However, Ayurveda does support the notion of making small adjustments, incremental changes to our daily lives, and one new good habit a month to replace an old unhelpful habit. In this matter, self-improvement becomes manageable and sustainable.
YOGA AND SELF-IMPROVEMENT
In the words of yogi, Elma Panagaki, "Yoga is my life. It’s the path to exploring and becoming a better version of myself and sharing that journey with all the people I have the pleasure of coming across. Yoga is my greatest passion, rooted deep in my heart. It's everything from the morning meditation, to the asanas, to the smile of my students after Savasana."
