This glorification of youth leads to a battle against aging, along with a huge industry of anti-aging products.

Ayurveda is the science of longevity and it provides guidelines on how to prevent disease, increase longevity and more importantly, how to have vitality in those extended years. Ayurveda also reminds us of the gifts of aging and how to utilize these gifts, empowering us as we age.

Yoga, the sister science of Ayurveda manifests itself as four major paths. Patanjali, the Indian sage who is believed to have authored the Yoga Sutras, derived the four paths of Yoga for further enlightenment of people. These four paths are like the branches of a tree with the roots deeply embedded in our inner self. Colette describes these four paths, which are: Bhakti Yoga Karma Yoga Raja Yoga Jnana Yoga Connecting with our true nature lies by connecting to these internal roots rather than searching for it outside of ourselves. Ayurveda and the four paths of Yoga help us navigate this journey to self-realization or to our true nature. * Thanks to Kerala Ayurveda Academy for sponsoring this episode.
