Modern Ayurveda: Rituals, Recipes, and Remedies for Balance Paperback – September 17, 2019

I am one of those skeptics when it comes to any preachy lifestyle. And I am also a yoga teacher. So I kind of *have* to somewhat practice Ayurveda (only slight exaggeration). Ali gave me the refresher I needed. Her approach is completely balanced, she isn't trying to convince anyone Ayurveda is going to save the world... though it may if we all were more in tune with ourselves? She gives a simple, nourishing picture of what our lives could look like when we understand our dosha and the rhythms of the world. Modern Ayurveda really inspired me to add more simple practices into my day to help center myself with my own being and with all other beings. High recommend this resource for newbies and yogis and skeptics, too :)

I really love this book! Chock full of information, great delicious recipes for my doshas (Pitta/Vata) and charts, masalas, and lifestyle! This book is very good. Really points me in the right direction for good health!I learned a lot more from this book than I did searching and going to various websites for information! Highly recommend!

Highly, highly recommend this text! Ali has written an approachable, informative text on Ayurveda. Whether you are an experienced practitioner or new to the topic, Modern Ayurveda grounds you on key principles for Ayurveda, helps you to understand yourself through this lens, and then provides a deep dive into practices to create more balance. Ali has both 1 week plans to kickstart your approach as well as many practices throughout that you can easily incorporate. I know this book will have a huge impact for me in creating more balance in my life. Love it!

I loved everything about this book; the layout, the accessibility, the easy to follow recipes. I’ve bought this for a handful of my friends and family and everyone has enjoyed it and found value within it. The dosha quiz was fun and helped me understand why some “healthy” foods I was eating weren’t actually healthy for MY body.

Like many Ayurvedic books that say they are simple, this book piles on the recommendations and theories so much that it ends up just as confusing as any other. Knowing your dosha doesn’t help much, since there are imbalances and seasons and times of day and other factors to consider as well. It just ends up so overwhelming as to be inaccessible, which is the opposite of what it purports to be. One thing I did like however was the reassuring tone, emphasizing that we don’t need to follow the lifestyle perfectly to get some of its benefits.

I love this book! For someone like me who is just starting to scratch the surface of the great ancient practices of a balanced life. It is easy to follow and once you know what your dosha is, you can go directly to the rituals and recipes that apply to you. Fantastic!
