As many of you know, I have taught in Sevanti’s Online Ayurveda program for several years now. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with all of you year after year. Unfortunately, it won’t be possible for me to teach in their upcoming program this year and I wanted to be sure that you are aware of this information.
May we all benefit from clear communication.
Lots of love and best wishes.
Look around you right now, wherever you are. What do you see? Your laptop? Your furry co-worker asking for a head scratch? Or maybe you’re outside: you see some trees, their leaves gently whispering in the wind, a cool lake with the mist lingering just above the surface, a red-tailed hawk calling out as it glides above the treetops… What do all these things have in common?
Mauni Amavasya is the annual day of silence. A day of speech fasting and silence feasting. Silence is observed at the level of speech, senses, gestures, and action. From the silence of the manas/mind, one gives birth to Swayambhu (one's own purified Self). This day symbolizes the quieting of the lowly desires and upholding of the dharma celebrated by Yogis/inis and Sadhakas. A very special day for mental and emotional purification.
How much Ayurveda should I learn as a Yoga teacher?
It is not the question of quantity, subject and requirement. Think of it as if you are asking which eye should I see from. You need both!! Yoga and Ayurveda are inseparable. Ayurvedic wisdom was revealed to the Rishis (seers) in deep meditative state. Both Yoga and Ayurveda have the same goal- to remove suffering and union with the Self.
