Reader Reviews
I disagree with a previous reviewer that this book is mainly a cookbook. I find that it has MUCH more to offer than that. I am currently in a 200 hour yoga teacher training course, and this book is required reading for me. Tiwari goes very much into the philosophy behind Ayurveda and the doshas, yet explains it in a way that the average reader can understand. She gives the best explanations of each dosha that I've ever read, going into aspects such as career and sexuality, diet, exercise, physical and emotional traits. She then gives food charts for the ten doshas, instead of the usual three doshas that most do. She lists foods that are beneficial, and those that are not. I find this book to be wonderful, and very accessible to the casual reader as well as the experienced person very into Ayurveda. Comment | | (Report this)
