THE YOGA HOUR TEAM COMMENTS: I really enjoyed and learned a lot of practical information from the interview with Kate O’Donnell. I’ve been drawn toward Ayurveda, a sister science to Yoga, for many years and she helped to simplify it for everyday use. I particularly resonated with the idea that Ayurveda is an expression of life’s flow. It helps to identify the signs of imbalance enabling us to make changes which can bring the trajectory of the energy flow into balance. Kate said even small changes in the matrix can create lasting change of that trajectory. In conversation Dr. Trujillo and Kate talked about the 3 key causes of imbalance, the 3 body types with their corresponding elements, and the importance of seasonal changes. It was a dynamic interactive discussion that should not be missed.
DR. TRUJILLO’S COMMENTS: I enjoyed discussing Ayurvedic principles with Kate O’Donnell including the importance of balance; the uniqueness of each individual; and how we are all affected by changes in the outer world necessitating that we change our lifestyle practices with the change of seasons. We also discussed how we can notice the qualities of our food and our activities, such as heavy or light, and hot or cool, which can help us to choose foods and activities that return us to balance. This conversation is a great resource for our listeners who want to understand more about Ayurveda and incorporate some Ayurvedic wisdom into their lives.
