Arundhati Baitmangalkar

In my studio at Aham Yoga, I have students who have some knowledge of Ayurveda and I would often get so many questions about what the role of food is. How should we really eat? How frequently should we eat and in what quantity? This is honestly a topic that I am no expert with and so I decided to invite back a past guest who is the real expert in Ayurveda, Nidhi Pandya.

Episode Highlights:

  • The role of food in our lives according to Ayurveda
  • The three pillars of health in Ayurveda
  • The connection between the ahara (food) and prana
  • Does Ayurveda look at cooked food and raw food differently?
  • The effects of green juices and smoothies on our bodies
  • How the yogis ate and their relationship to food
  • What is a sattvic diet?
  • Does doing yoga mean one should only eat a vegetarian diet
  • Does the food we eat affect the quality of our minds and our thoughts
  • Ayurveda’s approach to the frequency of meals, what to eat, and in what quantity
  • Practical tips for modern-day yoga practitioners to live more holistically
