Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy

Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy developed by Mukunda Stiles describes the underlying elements of both Yoga and Ayurveda, the latter being the healing side of the former. The author provides the reader, the deep wisdom of Yoga as an experience through the science of life, Ayurveda. By marrying the sister sciences of Yoga and Ayurveda, Mukunda steers a way from an increasing tendency to medicalize yoga therapy. Instead of offering prescriptive recommendations for specific medical diagnoses, he presents sequences of Vinyasa and pranayama suited to the various Ayurvedic body types.

Enlivened by stories and wisdom teachings, this book provides food for body, soul and spirit, guiding practitioners towards fulfillment of their highest potential.

It helps you understand Ayurveda and Yoga sufficiently, leading you to specific Classical Yoga practices that have the potential to bring about a lasting change in your lifestyle, health, and overall outlook on the purpose of life.
