Yogachariya Jnandev: - This book on Ayurveda and Yoga Chikitsha is a research work compilation for all the sincere Yoga, Health, Spiritual Seekers and Yoga Chikitsha or Yoga Therapy professionals who wish to use basic ayurvedic principles of dosha, dhatus and agnis to support the yoga Chikitsha Program supported by activated diet. Yogachariya Dr Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani mentions that wholistic yoga Chikitsha is to help the yoga follower or care seekers to attain their full potential.


Yogacharini Anandhi: -This book was written during the two-year yoga therapy training with Yo- gacharya Jnandev and his team as
teachers and students, we experienced that yoga Chikitsa is difficult to be successful without the sister science Ayurveda Chikitsa.
Originally, Chikitsa was referring to both Ayurveda and yoga and these two were not considered separate. During our involvement with the yoga therapy students, we faced this connection and we thought we can put our experience, our research and our knowledge into a book
for our students and anyone interested in yoga and Ayurveda as sister sciences.
