NOTE: This bibliography provides citations for resources that specifically link Yoga and Ayurveda. The
general literature on Ayurveda is extensive and is not reflected in this bibliography.
By becoming acquainted with our dosha (physical, mental, and emotional constitution),
we develop more awareness and acceptance of our natural rhythmsboth on and off the
mat. Robert Svoboda, the first Westerner licensed as an Ayurvedic practitioner, reminds
us how this deepened awareness can lead to a greater connection with others and the
world around us: Yoga postures and breathing exercises are but two of the many actions
that can promote skillful living. Improving ones diet, consuming herbs, meditating,
chanting, ritual worship, and visualizations can also facilitate a health-promoting yoga
practice. Such actions are most adept when they also promote health in others, not simply
inflate the self.
The Editors of Yoga Journal
Yoga and Ayurveda are ancient branches of healing. Since thousands and thousands of
years in India, the land of the Vedas, the land of yoga and Ayurveda, they are absolutely
together, no separation. It is very important for the yoga person to learn Ayurveda
because in Ayurveda it is said that certain asanas are not good for pitta people. Certain
asanas are not good for vata people. For example, headstand, shoulder stand and
inverted positions are not good for pitta people. What I say is a yogi without Ayurveda is
half a yogi. And an Ayurvedic physician without yoga is half a physician. The Ayurvedic
physician must know yoga and [a] yogic person must know Ayurveda because these are
two sides of the same coin.

Press release: Ayurveda+Yoga are the most ancient natural healing systems of India.
They originated as part of Vedic Science. In the present day both Ayurveda and Yoga are
at the forefront of a new movement towards global medicine that includes the best
developments in the medicines of all lands.
A new naturalistic planetary medicine is emerging, largely through re-examination of

the wiser eastern and technological strides of the west. Ayurveda and Yoga are probably
the most suitable point of synthesis for such a global medicine as they contain the
broadest number of healing modalities.
To enhance public awareness and education in Ayurveda and Yoga as means of

improving the physical, mental and spiritual health of the community, a remarkable

breath and mind. Through lecture, discussion and yoga practicum, students will learn and

then make appropriate choices. Ayurvedic nutrition and lifestyle as well as principles for
adapting yoga practice to the individual will be covered, drawing from Sanskrit texts such

As a by-product of Yoga becoming highly popular across the United States of America,
Ayurveda too seems to be slowly but firmly gaining ground . . .
Attributing this sudden increasing popularity of Ayurveda, she said: The entire credit
goes to Yoga. It has become so popular that Yoga is now visible in nook and corner of
this country. As a result, people now have now become more curious about Ayurveda.
Many of them have even started taking it as an alternative or supplementary to the main
system.

This workshop explores how cyclical change, age cycles, digestive cycles, and the cycle

they all affect the balance in the nadis in the body. While working in the poses students
will be exposed to the concepts of aligning themselves more closely with those cycles
and the therapeutic value of yoga within these cycles.

Cardiology Review, May 2005, 13(3):155-162.
Abstract: Ayurveda is derived from 2 Sanskrit words, namely, Ayus and Veda,
meaning life and knowledge, respectively. It literally means science of life. Ayurveda, of
which yoga is an integral part, is widely practiced in India and is gaining acceptance in
many countries around the world. It is a comprehensive and a holistic system, the focus
of which is on the body, mind, and consciousness. The Ayurvedic treatment consists of
the use herbal preparations, diet, yoga, meditation, and other practices. Based on the
review of available studies, the evidence is not convincing that any Ayurvedic herbal
treatment is effective in the treatment of heart disease or hypertension. However, the use
of certain spices and herbs such as garlic and turmeric in an overall healthy diet is
appropriate. Many herbs used by Ayurvedic practitioners show promise and could be
appropriate for larger randomized trials. Yoga, an integral part of Ayurveda, has been
shown to be useful to patients with heart disease and hypertension. Yoga reduces anxiety,
promotes well-being, and improves quality of life. Its safety profile is excellent. Its use as
a complementary therapeutic regimen under medical supervision is appropriate and could
be worth considering.

. . . the practical benefits of Yoga are examined through Ayurveda, Indian medical
science. In Ayurveda the body is seen to function as a combination of three energies
known as doshas. Everybodys constitution or body type is determined by the
predominance of the doshas within their body, so everyone is prone to certain weaknesses
and illnesses, caused by imbalances. Yoga postures or asanas act to balance the doshas
and restore equilibrium. This is how Yoga works to maiximize energy and well-being.
. . . provides step-by-step instructions for postures and relaxation methods to alleviate

everything from back pain, headaches and digestive problems to stress and fatigue.

I have been initiated into the systems of Yoga and Ayurveda by my Guru, Swami
Sivananda Saraswati . . . I have received his knowledge, codified and systematized it. I
did formal training in Ayurveda and integrated the knowledge I had received under the
name Ayurved Maanasa Shaastra. The system of practice which resulted from this forms
the basis for the practice of General Psychology (Mano Vijanam), Medical Psychology
(Mano Rog), Psycho-neuro-immunology (Marma Shaastra), Yoga therapy (Yoga
chikitsa), Systems Sciences (Siddhah Paddhati) and Social and Preventive medicine
(Svastha Vritha). It is based on both Ashtanga Yoga and Ayurveda.

which results in unwholesome actions and thoughts), relationship with parents, children
and wife/husband, Prakriti (basic constitution) and deviated states of Doshas (Vikriti) of
the patient and the parents, children and husband/wife, pathology, pathogenesis, etc.
The aim is to teach the patient how to restore achara (right action) and thus raise his
consciousness level by means of treatment (chikitsa) in order to clear the srotas and
nadis, medical psychology for restoring the psychosomatic balance or dhaatusaamya
(homeostasis) and yogam so as to raise the psychosomatic capacity or Ojas. Many
techniques or forms of therapy may be applied as part of Ayurveda Psychology including

In a south Springfield yoga studio, 25 people standhands hanging at their sides, feet
firmly planted on the groundand practice breathing for those times when their pitta is
out of wack.
It makes sense to the class.
For three weeks, the students have been learning about ayurveda (pronounced i-your-
vay-da), a 5,000-year-old Indian system of health, at yoga studio Success Naturally . . .
Ayurveda relies on diet, yoga, massage and meditation, among other things, to achieve
balance in body, mind and spirit, which are seen as inseparable.
Though Success Naturally has offered ayurveda workshops before, this is the first time
the studio has focused long-term classes on the practice. It is offering four eight-week
classes and a total of about 100 students are participating.
The interest has been phenomenal, says Loa Freeman, who owns Success Naturally
and is teaching one of the classes . . .

Abstract: According to Yoga and Ayurveda, the purpose of therapy is to act against
illness or disease so that the human system is restored to balance. There is no doubt that
the human system is a complex one, and thus, by its nature, the subject of therapy is often
complex. As humans, our inner balance is influenced by six variable factorsdiet,
lifestyle, environment, body work, breathing techniques, and our thought processes.
These factors are interdependent and the connections between them have been analyzed
and discussed in the classical texts on Yoga and Ayurveda. Although they place a slightly
different emphasis on each of these factors in terms of their relevance to maintaining or
restoring health, Yoga and Ayurveda both recognize that we can only alter our state of
health or restore our balance by addressing these six factors and the connections between
them. Therefore, to approach any therapeutic situation effectively, both Yoga and
Ayurveda must be considered. Depending on the nature of the imbalance being treated,
one of them will often play a primary role in the treatment and the other will act as a
support.
