Book Reviews of Prakriti: Your Ayurvedic Constitution
Book Review: So good I went back for more.
Summary: 5 Stars
As a yoga practitioner since 1995 and a yoga teacher since 2000 I've read a lot of books on everything about yoga. I also run a yoga book club at the studio where I teach. My students are always curious about eating more yogicly and taking their yoga to the next level. I had a few requests on yoga and diet so I started researching the best books that would be readable for all levels. This is how I stumbled upon Prakriti: Your Ayurvedic Constitution.
I read most of it over one weekend. It was so interesting and the knowledge that Mr Svoboda imparts really sinks in, better than other books that seem to hold Ayurveda at arms length. I've known what my dosha was for years but never really connected the dots. I immediately started thinking about how I eat, what tastes I like best and when. When I got to the last page I went right back to the beginning and reread it to go over what I didn't get on the first pass. Three months later it's still on my night stand. I learn something new every time I pick it up. I consider it a little jewel, jammed packed with good info. It took my understanding to the next level. I've read two other books on Ayurveda since then but this is the one that made it all make sense for me.
You don't have to practice yoga to enjoy this book. Ayurveda is the medicinal branch of the yoga. It helps. Ayurveda like yoga is done in levels - practice, observe and adjust appropriately. It can change your life.
Summary of Prakriti: Your Ayurvedic Constitution
Dr. Svoboda's original work on the constitutional types in Ayurveda has beenconsidered a classic for many years. His new revision and expansion of thesubject comes after much further research and practical experience. Dr. VasantLad points out: "The healing science of Ayurveda is based totally upon theknowledge of "prakriti", the individual constitution. If every individual knows his own constitution, then one can understand, for instance, what is a good diet and style of life for oneself. One man's food is another man's poison.Therefore, to make one's life healthy, happy and balanced, the knowledge ofconstitution is absolutely necessary." (Dr. Vasant Lad is the author ofAyurveda: The Science of Self-Healing, and co-author of The Yoga of Herbs.)Ayurveda Books
