The central concept of Ayurvedic medicine is the theory that health exists when there is a balance between three fundamental bodily bio-elements or doshas called Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
Kapha is the watery element, it is characterized by heaviness, cold, tenderness, softness, slowness, lubrication, and the carrier of nutrients. It is the nourishing element of the body. All soft organs are made by kapha, it plays an important role in the perception of taste, together with nourishment and lubrication.
According to Ayurveda, the full moon is a powerful healing force. It's associated with the energy of kapha making it a time of fullness, cooling, calming and nurturing. It is a time for creating and bringing new things into the world and for honoring the creative and nurturing forces within us. The qualities of full moon energy are similar to those of Kapha; cool, heavy, slow and dense. And these qualities often show up in our minds and bodies during this time.
As we practice, we become more conscious, mindful and connected within yoga practice, our awareness naturally translates to an understanding of what's going on around us.

I was born in Kathmandu, Nepal and grew up daily observing Hindu and Buddhist practices on a daily basis. Although I had observed religious practices in my family and traditions, it was only in 2003 I began to give my interest in Yoga. As I discovered yoga as the finest things to do in life, then I searched my carrier into yoga and became a teacher. As far as my background, I finished my Master degree in Buddhist studies and world religion including yoga philosophy in 2009. I extensively followed Sivananda yoga school and completed other various training to find the deeper meaning of Yoga.
With different kinds of experience and knowledge in life, I finally realized that Yoga can be practiced any moment and that there is no limitation. I sensed more freedom in life after that.
