Introduction to Ayurveda with Dr. Alaknanda

An essential sister science to Hatha Yoga, Ayurveda is regarded in India as the oldest holistic medicine in the world. As the science of life with its eternal principals, Ayurveda teaches us how to live in harmony with our true nature as well as with the nature around us. Original “wellness” Ayurveda is health for the mind body and soul, guiding us to prevent and eliminate the root cause of disease. Living an Ayurvedic lifestyle, in alignment with this timeless ancient medical science, contributes towards making our lives significantly more fulfilling and meaningful.

Yogic Sukṣma Vyāyām (Subtle Prāṇic Exercise – aka Himalayan Yoga) with Dr. Alaknanda

This rarely known sequence of subtle prāṇic exercises consisting of gentle joint movements in conjunction with breath control (pranayama) originates from yogis of the high Himalayas and Tibet. Sukṣma Vyāyām prepares our nervous system for the activation and awakening of the chakras, healing our prāṇa – the life-force in our spiritual body – enabling the proper function of the body’s physical organs.
