Manas' Point of View

When are you most likely to go out of balance and how do you bring yourself back in balance using Ayurveda?

When I travel, I have to be super careful about sleep and exercise. Usually, I am very diligent about these two things, but travel tends to throw it off and I become very irritable and tired!

What does the future of Ayurveda look like to you?

If we teach this generation to heal, we will cure the next generation!

What's one Ayurvedic practice anyone can implement to spur change in their life, right here, right now?

Abhyanga (self-massage with oil) is a simple practice that acts on multiple levels. It's great for your skin and supportive as a self-love/care practice. It also helps with immunity and it increases circulation!
