Dr. Siva Mohan provides a gift for all readers: a clear, succinct guide to Ayurveda. She demystifies this healing modality without simplifying its insight. Ayurveda provides a pathway to self-awareness and total wellness. Step-by-step, Dr. Mohan explains theory and application in a manner that is universally accessible.

Christopher Key Chapple

Siva Mohan, MD, has written an excellent, practical guide for both teacher and student, based upon Ayurvedic principals. Ayurveda gives great importance to agni (digestive fire) and constitutional balance and she has given workable, step-by-step guidelines for balancing agni and dosha to unfold perfect health: the health of the body, mind and consciousness. This book will definitely support both teacher and student on their journey to wellbeing.

Vasant Lad

Dr. Siva has written an intelligent, personal and highly practical book for creating a workable Ayurvedic lifestyle. She seamlessly makes this ancient and often esoteric approach to healthcare completely accessible to the modern practitioner -and in the process, allows us to move towards one of the single most important issue facing humans today - healthcare revolution. Beautifully researched and expressed by Siva's own personal healer's journey, this is a book I will recommend to all of the students who work in my online Ayurveda certification programs. I highly recommend Ayurveda for Yoga Teachers and Students -not least for the insights Siva offers on what it means to practice the ancient art of Ayurveda with the type of deep authenticity that true wellness requires.
