The holiday hype and excitement tend to make me feel exhausted and inadequate before February finishes. Instead, I prefer to set an <a href="http://www.yogajournal.com/article/history-of-yoga/qa-set-intentions-yoga/" title="reference on intention" target="_blank">intention</a> for the year, as I have found that this is a much more successful and forgiving way to make long term and consistent improvements. Like many, my intention for this next year is to eat better. More specifically, my goal is to learn how to nourish myself rather than just feed myself, and examine how certain foods add or detract from my well being. Ayurveda is the foundation of this type of thought. </p> <p><a href="http://www.aadl.org/catalog/record/1388828" title="reference on Ayurveda" target="_self">Ayurveda</a> is the ancient yogic study of the effect of food on your physical constitution, while factoring in one’s emotional nature and individual spiritual outlook. Sanskrit texts dating back 5,000 years teach of the three body types, or “doshas,” and how to best balance your whole being. One good place to start is with Suhas Kshirsagar’s <a href="http://www.aadl.org/catalog/record/1458484" title="reference on “Hot Belly Diet”." target="_self">“Hot Belly Diet”.</a> Here you’ll learn the basics on how to determine your dosha, and create the optimum diet to improve overall health, balance hormone levels, and kick start your digestive ‘fire.’ Whether you suffer from chronic disease or acute ailments, deciphering your own ‘diet code’ is crucial to creating a <a href="http://www.aadl.org/catalog/record/1195694" title="reference on balanced" target="_self">balanced</a> and healthy lifestyle.</p> http://www.aadl.org/node/270245#comments Books Video Magazines The Ann Mon, 15 Dec 2014 22:06:05 +0000 Sunny29 270245 at http://www.aadl.org Winter work arounds http://www.aadl.org/node/266465 <p><span class="inline inline-left"><img src="http://www.aadl.org/files/images/Library-yoga-21.img_assist_custom-100x100.jpg" alt="" title="" class="image image-img_assist_custom-100x100 " width="100" height="100" /></span>Michigan winters can be tough, especially when it comes to staying in shape.
