Ayurveda for Health

What a day yesterday! I've been having so much fun reading and studying and learning I finally forced myself to do the laundry. Turned out to be a good choice - the laundromat was warm - certainly no place else was! I'm really tired of being cold. I'm tired of putting on so many layers of clothes, of wearing wool socks, a wool cap, and gloves every time I walk out the door. But, of course, it is January. For once, I'm wishing the time would fly by to March! ----I've been studying a new book - Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy by Mukunda Stiles - in preparation for a teacher training period in March at Yogaville. My passion for yoga really turns on my interest in healthy bodies and minds and Ayurveda is an approach to health from thousands of years of experience in India. And, of course, has its own language, as all new studies do. It's a challenge but I'm beginning to get a little more comfortable with the word choices and even remembering the translation and definition of many of the Sanskrit terms used. I have vowed to never "go to school" again, but what I really mean is "I ain't working for any more grades." I'd be lost without something to study. In all honesty, I believe that my good health rests on my continuing study. And, I LOVE the fact that I can pick and choose, even on the same day, different topics! What I learned recently has me a bit more interested in increasing my intake of organic veggies and fruits. We'll see how that turns out.
