Harmony Within Ayurveda & Yoga

In Loving Memory of Dr Krishna Kumar ✨️
Father of Ayurveda in Australia
Founder of Australasian Association of Ayurveda

His presence, wisdom and kindness deeply touched our lives.

I visited his Ayurvedic clinic and herbal medicine factory just before I started my own Ayurvedic practice in 2018. He was very humble, enthusiastic, encouraging, generous and humorous.

I know some of my clients had their very first Ayurvedic consultation with Dr. Krishna. He was the pioneer of bringing Ayurveda to Australia.

I’m truly grateful for the wisdom he shared and the healing he brought to our community. His life’s work and dedication continue to inspire us all the Ayurvedic doctors and practitioners in Australia.

We miss you, Dr. Krishna.

May his soul journey peacefully, surrounded by the light he carried so humbly and generously.

My heartfelt thoughts to his wife Olga and family.

Happy Winter Solstice! 🌞 and Happy International Day of Yoga! 🧘🏻‍♀️🙏

Yoga creates connection with our own body, breath, mind, emotions and feelings, and essentially connecting with the true Self (Atman), and finding a balanced state, our natural and unique state.

It's never too late to start your yoga practice. Yoga is a lifetime practice. ✨️ Start your yoga journey with us.

Some foods digest well together while others do not.

Every food has its own taste, a heating or cooling energy, and a post-digestive effect. Careful food combining is an essential part of Ayurvedic nutrition to improve digestion and avoid toxin accumulation in the body (root cause of disease, feeling unwell).This is why proper food combining is so important.

Best practices:
- Dairy is best eaten alone or not to mix it with other proteins. It's compatible with grains and vegetables.
- Fruit is best eaten alone, or cooked in small amounts when combined with other food.

For example, eggs are incompatible with cream, cheese, milk, yoghurt, meat, beans, fish, and fruit. Fruits are not best to be eaten after meal.

Take a moment to notice how your digestion and your overall sense of wellness have changed over time by practising proper food combinations.

Contact Rieko for Ayurvedic health consultation to learn more about Ayurvedic nutrition.

We take in what we see, touch, smell, hear, taste, and what we feel and think. Everything that goes in becomes a part of our nutrition.

Being present and mindful while eating can improve our digestion and nutrient absorption. Our eating experience is just as important as what we are eating. 🙏✨

Healing power of yoga in therapeutic heat. ✨️🧘🏻‍♀️
Consistency is a choice to come back over and over again, even after falling off. Consistency and persistance go hand in hand.

Consistent Bikram yoga practice (in this case 5-6 times a week) can heal the spine in 2 months.

In Ayurveda, we incorporate therapeutic use of heat to promote detoxification and healing.

This yoga works for every spine and everyBODY. It is soul-stretching, mind-restoring, and Spirit-building. 💚🙏

One of our students recently shared these x-rays with us. The first was taken in late January, just before she started Bikram yoga. The second was taken last week, after practicing 5-6 times a week since early February. Holy cow. Needless to say, she's had a HUGE decrease in her back pain and doesn't need to use her back braces anymore.

UPDATES: Since this post seems to have gone viral (!!!) and I can't keep up with the comments, here are the answers to some FAQs! I just spoke with my student and got the answers to most of your questions:

1. Yes, she was wearing clothes for this x-ray. (It was done at her chiropractor.) In the first picture you can see the grommets from her sweatpants, and in both pictures you can see her bra hooks. No internal hardware. Some of the more experienced x-ray viewers were correct about this. ;)

2. She's been going to the chiropractor twice a week (since before the first x-ray was taken), but now she is going to start going less often because she's getting such good results from adding yoga.

3. For everyone who's asking if this is possible for them, she says, "Give it a try!! You won't know unless you try it."

4. I've had lots of messages from people who suffer with sciatica and other back problems wanting to know if they should try Bikram yoga. Yes! Just take it easy in the beginning and find a good teacher who can guide you. We have a small studio in a small town and we are able to give our students lots of personal attention, which definitely helps. But Bikram yoga is amazing. :)

Cheers, guys!

Beetroot is one of the best foods for cleansing liver and detoxing blood according to Ayurveda.

It is great for combating anaemia, building stamina, and balancing hormones, as well as grounding and calming especially if you are experiencing restlessness, dizziness, feeling anxious etc.

Make into juice, soup or, sauteed veg dish.
Ayurvedic consultation is available in Stirling. Contact Rieko.

AYURVEDIC DIET TIPS FOR SUMMER ☀️

During summer, our digestive fire (Agni) naturally becomes weak in order to keep us cool. Our body naturally asks for lighter and smaller meals.

Summer is a time to favor sweet, bitter and astringent tastes to such as mangoes, berries, coconut, watermelon, grapes, avocado, pomegranate, leafy green vegetables, beets, celery, zucchini, cucumber, fennel, broccoli, bitter melon, coriander, lime, basil, parsley, dill, mint, ghee etc.

Eating seasonal and local produce is the key to staying balanced. If you have feelings of irritation, frustration, or anger, rashes, headaches, acidity etc., there may be too much heat/fire energy within the body and mind.

To learn more about what and how to eat according to season and your nature, we offer Ayurvedic health consultation in Stirling. Contact Rieko for booking an appointment. 💚

Zucchini and cucumber are in season in summer. They both have a cooling effect in the body and mind, according to Ayurveda.

Eating seasonal foods offers a powerful way to align with nature's rhythms and maintain optimal health throughout the year. Nature provides precisely what our bodies need.

🙇🏻‍♀️ Special thanks to my friends/clients for sharing their fresh organic harvests with us. They were delicious, full of life force energy.

Shirodhara is a deeply relaxing and nurturing treatment, which involves continuous pouring of liquid medicines over the forehead.

Shirodhara is considered the King of all treatments, as it treats a wide variety of conditions such as insomnia, psychological imbalance, mental tensions, excess heat, premature greying hair, headaches, skin diseases, auto immune disorders etc.

The medicated liquid is carefully chosen prior to the treatment based on your nature, present state of mind-body as well as the season.

To find out more, contact Rieko. 😊

Pic1: It's not chai, but medicated buttermilk, powerful medicine prepared with care and love for each client.
