Ayurveda & Asana Yoga

About

Most wellness apps hand everyone the same plan. This one starts with your constitution — vata, pitta or kapha — and builds the day around it. Ayurveda has always treated food, movement and stillness as one subject. What settles a restless person will not settle an overheated one, and what suits January does not suit July. This app takes that seriously and applies it to everything it suggests. WHAT YOUR DOSHA ACTUALLY CHANGES Not a label on a results screen. Your constitution shapes which meals are proposed and why, which poses are worth your time this week, and which practices are offered at the hour you open the app. Every food carries its qualities, every pose and practice its effect, and the two are read together. MEALS Plan a day or a week. Search food by the qualities that matter in Ayurveda — the six tastes, heating and cooling, heavy and light — alongside ordinary nutrition. Scan a barcode when it is quicker. Build a shopping list from the plan rather than from memory. Recipes adapt to the season, because ritucharya is not decoration. YOGA More than 850 postures across twelve families, from standing and backbends to restorative and inversions, each at one of three levels. Sequences that fit the time you have. Every pose carries its dosha effect, so a practice can cool you down or wake you up on purpose rather than by accident. STILLNESS Sixty guided practices — meditation, breathwork, visualisation and deep rest — running to more than eight hours of material. Twenty-nine meditations, fifteen visualisations built on the five elements, eleven pranayama techniques, and yoga nidra in short and full form. They are written to be read slowly. One instruction at a time, then the screen goes dark and you are left alone with it. Nothing counts down. Nothing chimes. If you prefer, your device reads them aloud. Each is tagged for the time of day, the season and the dosha it settles, so the app can offer you something appropriate at six in the morning and something different at eleven at night. WRITTEN HONESTLY Thirty-one of the sixty practices carry contraindications, stated plainly before you begin rather than buried. Breath retention is not for everyone. Long body-scan practices are not for everyone. We say so. Nutrition values are sourced, not estimated. Where a figure is unknown it is left blank instead of filled with zero. This app is not medical advice and does not diagnose or treat anything. It is a well-made set of tools built on a tradition that is thousands of years old, for people who want to eat, move and rest with a little more attention. No account required to start. Your constitution can be set in a few minutes, or skipped entirely if you would rather just browse.
