The Influence of Weather on Our Emotions
The Influence of Weather on Our Emotions: In our fast-paced modern world, it's easy to overlook our deep connection to the natural environment.
Achieve a Healthy Weight According to your Dosha
According to Ayurvedic theory, each individual is born with varying combinations of the doshas (refer to intro to doshas), so every individual’s body size/type is different. Based on predominating doshas, some people are thin-framed and leaner, while others are thicker-boned and larger. Neither body type is right or wrong and in fact, Ayurveda proposes health at every size. Thus, there is no set routine to help you lose or gain weight. Instead, Ayurvedic medicine equips you with guidelines surrounding the types of foods and movements to incorporate according to your dosha. Following lifestyle prescriptions tailored to your body type will help you better approach your ideal weight – whether that’s through shedding some excess fat or adding some additional muscle. Once you know your dosha, check out our tips below to take one step closer balancing your body type.

Dinacharya
In Sanskrit, Dina means day, sun, or flow, and Charya means practice, perform, or conduct. Dinacharya translates to daily practice and Ayurveda is a natural and holistic approach to physical and mental health. Incorporating Ayurveda in daily life can be a vital part of maintaining health and immunity and plays an important role in prevention of many health conditions.
