The practice of Yoga is believed to have started with the very dawn of civilization. The science of yoga has its origin thousands of years ago, long before the first religions or belief systems were born.
Yoga is far more than just the physical postures we practice on the mat. Yoga changes the patterns of the mind, making it a science of consciousness.
In this episode we explore the core principles of yoga, why yoga is practiced, and how yoga and Ayurveda go hand-in-hand to lead to profound states of awareness and self-realization.

Spring is in full swing and so might those seasonal allergies, cough, and runny nose. Today's episode is all about harnessing the healing power in your spice cabinet for the spring season. Spices, herbs and the food we eat is the essence of effective self-care. Without changing our diet we cannot expect the body, which is a product of our diet, to change no matter what else we may attempt. Wrong diet is the main physical cause of disease.
