Episode 240: Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy and the Eight Limbs of Yoga with Kamalesh Ginger Hooven
Kamalesh Ginger Hooven is Provost of Mount Madonna Institute and she is the Director of the Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy program.
In our previous episode together #234 titled, Integrating Yoga Therapy and Ayurveda we discussed the three bodies, five sheaths, tanmatras and the internal limbs of Yoga.
In this episode we discuss the eight limbs of yoga in detail and how to tailor an Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy program to an individual.
We discuss the following:
The eight limbs of Yoga:
Yama - disciplines
Niyama - positive observances
Asana - preparing the body to take a seat in meditation
Pranayama - breath control
Pratyahara - sense withdrawal
Dharana - focused concentration
Dhyana - meditative absorption
Samadhi - bliss or enlightenment
Tailoring an Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy program keeping in mind the doshas, elements and the three principles of Ayurveda:
every cause has an effect
like increases like
opposites decrease
