Yoga and Āyurveda are two interrelated branches of the same great tree of Vedic knowledge that encompasses all of human life and the entire universe. In this regard, it is important to understand the respective roles of Āyurveda and Yoga in the Vedic system. Yoga and Āyurveda are not merely two separate but related spiritual disciplines. Each has its unique place and function, and each overlaps into the other on various levels. As complimentary Vedic sciences, Āyurveda and Yoga originated from the same source and share a common history, language and cultural foundation. Āyurveda and Yoga teach us how to create balance in order to attain perfect health. Integrating Āyurveda into your yoga practice can bring about a greater sense of balance, harmony, self-awareness and health.
