Episode Details

In this episode, we dive deep into the "link" between Yoga and Ayurveda. We've heard them be called 'sister sciences' before. But do you really understand how these two connect?

More importantly, how can you leverage Ayurveda as a yoga teacher or practitioner to benefit you?

Our guest Nidhi Bhansali Pandya is a lifelong Ayurveda practitioner, teacher  and writer. She helps us understand this link, gives us actionable items to follow as yoga teachers and contextualizes Ayurveda for yoga students. There's a lot you'll get out of this conversation when you hit play.
