Why La Vie Sattvic ? 

This is a short summary or introduction to Ayurveda and the Ayurvedic Doshas! In the coming videos we will look into each element in detail and how to keep the elements in balance through lifestyle, habits, diet, pranayama and yoga. Hope you enjoy!

As per Ashtanga Yoga, there are 8 steps in Yoga The Bahiranga practice or practice with outside objects, surroundings and physical body: - Yama - Niyama - Asana - Pranayama - Pratyahara The Antaranga or internal practice with your mind and intellect When mind is concentrated in one point it is called Dhyana, when Dhyana is evolved it automatically flows into Dharana or meditation which is an uninterrupted flow of consciousness. In the modern world we misuse the term Meditation. In essence what we are trying to do when we “meditate” is to clean our mind, to calm our mind and to try and focus it. I hope this video will help you start a sustainable practice to go inwards, and observe your mind, calm it, understand it and make it your friend. Stay blessed, Yamini

This is a short video giving you some context on the origins of Yoga, different paths of Yoga and the 8 limbs of Raja Yoga which is considered the practical path of Yoga. Hope you found it informative!

Namaste everyone! Spine twisting is super critical in maintaining spine health, releasing toxins and ensuring good organ health However our spine is very delicate and we need to twist it with care Remember to always: - Twist from lower spine, then middle and then upper - using your shoulder to go deeper into the twist - Relax the neck - even though its the part of the spine that twists the most, we need to work on the parts that do not twist much (like lower back) - Lengthen your spine before twisting - GO SLOW ! Please remember to always go slow. It is the fast and jerky movements that create spine injury especially in spine twisting Hope this flow makes you feel good and rejuvenated. Let me know :) Yamini
