Both the Ayurvedic and yoga traditions view life as a continual search for physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual food. Our health is based as much on being able to digest, assimilate, and utilize the ingredients of our lives as it is on regular elimination of metabolic, energetic, and psychological waste products and toxins. We'll focus on yoga practice and Ayurveda for guidance on making wise dietary choices, maintaining seasonal cleansings, and living a life that nourishes us on all levels.
