With the growing awareness of Ayurveda in the West, a more complete picture of the yogic path is beginning to emerge. This path reconnects the knowledge of two of India's greatest ancient sciences. Together, they comprise a whole whose two sides, like those of a coin, are really inseparable. Ayurveda brings to Yoga an under- standing of how to remain physically and emotionally healthy while on the path to enlightenment. Yoga brings to Ayurveda a deeper purpose for remaining healthy, that purpose being to attain enlightenment.
