Ayurveda Lifestyle Wisdom

A Complete Prescription to Optimize Your Health, Prevent Disease, and Live with Vitality and Joy

By: Acharya Shunya, Dr. David Frawley - foreword

Narrated by: Siiri Scott

An empowering guide to finding balance and restoring health in mind, body, and soul.

Ayurveda teaches us that true health is our birthright - and that by artfully adapting to the rhythms of nature, we can bring ourselves back into balance and experience optimal well-being. Ayurveda Lifestyle Wisdom is a groundbreaking work within the field of holistic health and traditional yoga, written by internationally renowned Ayurvedic healer, teacher, and scholar Acharya Shunya.

Raised in a distinguished lineage of Vedic mystics and healers, Shunya learned the ancient art of Ayurveda directly from her grandfather, a well-known healer in Northern India. Here, she presents both an engaging narrative of her unique education, as well as a complete encyclopedia of Ayurvedic practices, recipes, and knowledge.

With Ayurveda Lifestyle Wisdom, Shunya maintains the integrity of Ayurveda's traditional teachings while showing us how to integrate them into our modern lifestyles. Through her in-depth teachings, we learn to live in a way that supports our greatest health through daily ritual, nourishing food, spiritual practice, and self-care.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A perfect introduction to Ayurveda

I’m so grateful to have discovered this book. I’ve been interested in learning more about Ayurveda for years but couldn’t settle on a direction. This book was exactly what I was looking for.

Ancient Lifestyle for Modernity

If you can pass through the initial introduction, which in my opinion was too long, this book has a lot of ancient wisdom that we can include in our modern lifestyle. The book goes through a full day, starting with elimination in the morning to pleasure at night and everything in between. The book can be a drudge for first 2-3 hours when the author tries to enumerate her life experience. I understand that she is trying to lay a foundation for the whole lifestyle, but some people might get bored and drop the whole book. This will be a mistake, a little patient in the begining will pay you well later when she will go through the full Lifestyle changes that we all must incorporate in our daily life to enjoy it to our fullest.

So good I'm buying the paperback for my library for easy reference.

So good I'm buying the paperback for my library for easy reference. Very good overview of ayurveda with lots of recipes and information for treatment of different challenges. Covers information for different dosha nutrition protocols for the seasons. Like I said, it was valuable enough information for me to also buy the paperback as part of my physical reference library. If you’re into improving your health and life through Ayurvedic principles it's definitely worth a listen and/or read!

Excellent resource for anyone studying Ayurveda

Wow, what an invaluable resource as far as Ayurvedic lifestyle practices are concerned! Acharya Shunya is a fantastic teacher and I love her stories of her Baba and his wisdom. What an amazing guru to have! Thanks for sharing your life experience and your Ayurvedic wisdom with the world, what a blessing ❤️

An incredible source of Ayurvedic information.

Highly recommend for anyone with an interest in Ayurveda. completely suitable as an intro for anyone new to it, but also a deep resource for anyone already following Ayurvedic lifestyle practices or self-educating themselves on the tradition.

Incredible wisdom! Very poor narrating

I read this book before purchasing an audiobook. It’s truly the best book on Ayurveda Science in the Western World! I have been following this lifestyle for 2 years now and have achieved amazing improvements in my health. It lead me to Vedika Global and essentially to become a student of Acharya Shunya. I purchased an audio book to also listen to it whenever I cannot sit down and read it. In my opinion the narrator is not good at all! Not only she sounds like a robot and therefore makes it hard to follow, she also mispronounces all the Sanskrit terminology. I really hope that one day it will be re-done and Shunyaji will narrate herself. She is such a great storyteller! Please do not give up on this book because of narration, instead buy it and read it yourself. You will not regret!

YES YES YES🙌

This will not be a repeat of the things you know💕 quite a beautiful look into and things you need to know! Read please for everyone and you💕💕

Great book to start on Ayurveda!

Everything we need to know about Ayurveda is here. Great book to start. At first, I didnt like the narrator but I've got used to her later on.

Couldn’t stand the narration!

There is some wonderful information in this book, but I wish the author had done the narration. It was really terrible and very hard to listen to. It sounded like the narrator didn’t have any understanding of the information.
