Ayurveda and Yoga

The chemical free approach to a healthy body & mind

Hailed as the next frontier in Mind-Body Medicine, Yoga and Ayurveda, together can bring quantum benefits when it comes to health and wellbeing.

“Therapy based on ayurveda and yoga consider true health not just as the absence of disease, but when all aspects of our being (physical, mental, emotional and spiritual) are in harmony”, says Sindar Kaur who runs the Ayurveda-Yoga Clinic (Sun 9am-1pm) at Lotus Health Centre, Sydney.

She says, “Both approaches work in synergy to impact on all our bodily systems and positively influence overall health, without using pharmacological methods. Ayurveda balances the inner biological forces which condition and nourish our body, senses, mind and consciousness, while yoga opens the energy channels in the body and strengthens the endocrine, immune and nervous systems. The goal of therapy is to rebalance the whole body and mind, and skilfully orientate the individual towards positive and mindful living, and embrace a larger connection to life.”

She adds that while the benefits of both, ayurvedic herbs and the physical aspect of yoga are widely accepted, she also focuses on stellar techniques of yogic breathing and meditation and ayurvedic lifestyle tips, which are in fact the real keys to the mind-body connection.

Many of her clients come because they have not found relieve from other orthodox approaches, or gone through ‘therapy-shopping’ and the merry-go-round of doing medications, vitamins, herbs, diets and exercise regimes, or have simply lost faith in control of their own health.

More and more doctors, psychologists, physiotherapists and naturopaths are recommending ayurveda and yoga as adjuvant therapies to optimise results and sustain savings in healthcare. Mounting research on these approaches now validates the multitude benefits on general wellbeing and treatment of many types of dysfunction such as chronic stress, sleep disorders, arthritis, anxiety, depression, headaches, hypertension, pain, menopausal symptoms and other psychosomatic conditions.

While broad benefits can be gained from attending general yoga classes, Sindar says that if you have a specific health issue or chronic condition, a targeted program tailored to the person’s unique dosha (constitution), can enhance results and bring enduring change.
