The Ayurveda Dialogues with James Bailey
The Ayurveda Dialogues are designed to help students and teachers of Yoga to embody the essential teachings of Ayurveda at a more intimate level. Once integrated into one's lifestyle, Ayurveda inspires a natural sense of self, and provides important yogic tools on the path, shedding light on your life and your practice. The Dialogues are part lecture, part question and answer, where the lines between Yoga and Ayurveda dissolve and self-realization and self-healing become one and the same.

Simple yet effective Ayurvedic health practices for cultivating "rasa" (the "juice of life") such as abhyanga (warm oil self-massage) and rasayanas (rejuvenating tonic teas) will be integrated so that participants leave home with skills to enhance the flow of rasa in their lives.
