Ayurveda and Yoga
Ayurveda is the science of life, of being.
We are all made of 5 elements. Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether. The proportion of each element within us makes every person unique. This natural balance isd called prakruti, our individual constitution. When this balance shifts, a disbalance betweeen our doshas occurs (which are elements in quantities in our unique being) Tha is named as our current state of imbalance, vikruti. You can take a test and see what is your vikruti (current state of imbalance. that we feel as disturbance or illnesses). While this test is not a definitive diagnosis, shows our uniqueness and offers valuable guidance. You will be very suprised by the results.
Small changes will make the difference!
I share with you some small changes that you can very easy to apply into your daily life. They all very effective but start with one or two practices and add slowly each time a new one in your routine to calm down first your Vata dosha:

Balance in life
-Use 5 senses to experience life. Before an action (eating- drinking- meditating etc.) listen, smell, taste, see and feel your skin.

Learn to heal your body and mind
Ayurveda teaches us to take responsibility of our lives back to our hands.
Choices we made created our current state of imbalance (vrukti). Our experiences with life made come out of balanced our unique being, but once we bring back the balanced to our doshas, we are in harmony with life. Get our health back and find the enjoyment of life.
