Ever wondered how to make your Yoga TTC more complete? Add a touch of Ayurveda, India’s ancient “science of life.” Here’s a quick, friendly look at why it matters and how you can weave it into your course.
Why Bring Ayurveda into a TTC?
Personalized Yoga
Ayurveda says everyone is different. By knowing each student’s dosha (body type)—Vata, Pitta, or Kapha—you can suggest the right poses, breath work, and daily habits for them.
Yoga’s Sister Science
Yoga trains the mind and body; Ayurveda guides food, seasons, and self‑care. Together, they create total well‑being.
A Professional Edge
Students love teachers who can offer more than just poses. Learning some Ayurveda makes you stand out and helps people off the mat too.
