Review
“An ongoing source of expert guidance...Ayurveda is an ancient, deep and complex science and its details can be overwhelming. But in [AYURVEDA LIFESTYLE WISDOM], along with facts, charts, and illustrated yoga poses, the author shares her experiences, wisdom, and knowledge in a loving way.” ―Light of Consciousness
“Shunya, president of the California Association of Ayurvedic Medicine, says it was her "karma" to write an "authoritative bible of sorts" on Ayurvedic wisdom. Raised in India, Shunya studied Ayurveda under the tutelage of her grandfather, who was born in 1900 and served as his town’s Ayurvedic guide; throughout this informative text she weaves poignant stories and lessons learned from her highly esteemed relative and advisor. Ayurveda, Shunya explains, is a 5,000-year-old system that covers such topics as lifestyle, food, health, spirituality, meditation, and yoga. Her focus is on applying the ancient principles to modern life and she includes selected case histories from clients and students who believe Ayurveda helped them resolve a variety of issues (e.g., eating disorders, stress). Despite the range of applications Shunya cites, she cautions that Ayurveda is not "one size fits all," and gives readers a number of guidelines. Shunya writes with passion and expertise; newcomers to Ayurveda will receive a comprehensive education, and long-standing practitioners can also delve more deeply into this wellspring of knowledge. This is an important addition to a "holistic approach to health" that readers will want to refer to time and again.” ―Publishers Weekly

“Acharya Shunya has gifted all of us with her story of learning Vedic wisdom from her grandfather, Baba, as a very young girl.

“I love how Shunya weaves together easy-to-understand, health-focused practices that are deeply rooted in ethical and socially responsible interventions, which are good for both our inner health and outer relationships. This is a must-read that belongs in every home and on the reading table of everyone who wants to lead a natural, healthy, and happy life.” ―Richard Miller, PhD, author of iRest Meditation: Restorative Practices for Health, Resiliency, and Well-Being

About the Author
Reviews:
5.0 out of 5 stars An evocative & informative resource to treasure
This book reads like sitting down with the author and having a series of deeply engaging and memorable conversations. It is by far the best resource I have found on understanding Ayurveda and how it is a powerful, accessible and uplifting lifestyle.While the book is rich with recipes, remedies and wise counsel on how to be healthy and happy, what I found outstanding and absolutely unique is how the context for each section is created through evocative and deeply informative stories from the author's young days studying with her grandfather, who was a learned yogi and insightful traditional healer. These stories are vivid, endearing, and deeply spiritual, and invite the reader to contemplate and experience the many dimensions of the state of health that the author and Ayurveda focus on.The author then illustrates how these same teachings are so beneficial and surprisingly easy to apply for those of us who live in Western cities and not on the banks of holy river in the India of a generation or two ago. I found the stories of the author's students very encouraging: how their health and state of mind improved dramatically just by applying this knowledge one step at a time.The style of the book inviting and fascinating to read, and consistently positive - quite a feat to maintain in a long chapter on constipation and diarrhea! The book has a wealth of very accessible advice laid out in ways I know I'll be able to keep referring to easily. The recipes are uncomplicated and easy to follow.I highly recommend this book both for those who want to really explore what Ayurveda is about, and for those who are already familiar with the principles of Ayurveda, as it will give a fresh, full and inspiring perspective.
5.0 out of 5 stars Jumpstarted my life when I needed it
At the beginning of last year, I could barely get out of bed, feeling drained from an intense family situation that had recently ended and needed to jumpstart my life. I have known Acharya Shunya for two decades and been captivated by the authenticity of her teaching, so I purchased Ayurveda Lifestyle Wisdom and slowly began adding a few recommendations to my day. Within a month, I was feeling rejuvenated and refreshed and that each day was filling with positive energy.Ayurveda Lifestyle Wisdom enables you to craft your own day by giving you the wisdom about how to make healthier choices. Acharya Shunya’s premise is that we are worthy of being loved and of loving ourselves and these simple lifestyle habits will enable us to do that every day. The recommendations are simple and practical and she clearly describes the rationale and options for fitting these into a busy schedule. I love how the book follows the day’s schedule, so you can focus on a part at a time according to your needs. Topics include oral hygiene, herbal shampoos and face masks among many others. The explanations are not intensely technical, and the parts that are are clearly designated, so the reader can easily skip these The recipes, handed down from her family and adjusted for modern needs by her husband and master chef Sanjai, are delicious, easy to make, and seasonally adjusted. Her delightful stories of being raised in this wisdom by her grandfather, whom she calls Baba, add a lovely fairytale element to the book, making it fun to read at any time. I believe anyone interested in improving their life would find something of benefit in this book.
5.0 out of 5 stars I whole heartedly recommend this new book written by my favorite Ayurvedic Teacher ...
I whole heartedly recommend this new book written by my favorite Ayurvedic Teacher Acharya Shunya. This is not another figure out your dosha book, but a true guide to understanding and beginning to live the Ayurvedic lifestyle. It also has beautiful recipe’s and directions for detox that will support long time practitioners. Filled with information about the ancient practices of Ayurveda, you will learn how to heal yourself through simple, elegant methods that are in harmony with nature. How to eat properly according to the seasons and treat your body with things like warm oil massages (abhyanga) and so much more to transform your health and sense of well-being. There’s some yoga, mantra, pranayama (breathwork) and even beauty support in the way of healing skin treatments, all in this book. I learned about Shunyaji while at a yoga teacher retreat back in 2009 with the great scholar David Frawley, aka Vamdeva. He told me if I really want to know Ayurveda the best person on the West Coast to learn from is Shunya. I looked her up and have had the great fortune to take several classes with her. He was right, she is the real deal. I am delighted that Shunyaji has put so much of her wonderful knowledge into a book that will help many people who might not be able to see her in person. The recipe’s and directions offered in this book are a gift of light to the world, as is she, in this difficult time when we can all use a little healing for mind, body and spirit.Candice Richardson-Solomon LMFT, LPCCLicensed PsychotherapistCertified Kripalu yoga teacher

It also has beautiful recipe’s and directions for detox that will support long time practitioners. Filled with information about the ancient practices of Ayurveda, you will learn how to heal yourself through simple, elegant methods that are in harmony with nature. How to eat properly according to the seasons and treat your body with things like warm oil massages (abhyanga) and so much more to transform your health and sense of well-being. There’s some yoga, mantra, pranayama (breathwork) and even beauty support in the way of healing skin treatments, all in this book. I learned about Shunyaji while at a yoga teacher retreat back in 2009 with the great scholar David Frawley, aka Vamdeva. He told me if I really want to know Ayurveda the best person on the West Coast to learn from is Shunya. I looked her up and have had the great fortune to take several classes with her. He was right, she is the real deal. I am delighted that Shunyaji has put so much of her wonderful knowledge into a book that will help many people who might not be able to see her in person. The recipe’s and directions offered in this book are a gift of light to the world, as is she, in this difficult time when we can all use a little healing for mind, body and spirit.Candice Richardson-Solomon LMFT, LPCCLicensed PsychotherapistCertified Kripalu yoga teacher
