Healthy hair the Ayurveda way.
I’m often asked the secret to my thick and full hair. There is no secret, just a simple ayurvedic care regimen.
I had fallen trap to colouring my hair for many years and it started to get thin and dry. I shaved it all off one day, and let my hair grow out naturally. My hair feels like it used to when I was a teenager.
Here are some simple tips. When done consistently, these work like magic:
1. Massage (abhyanga) your head for 5 mins before you shower daily, in circular motions with your fingers. This improves blood circulation and nourishes the hair.
2. Wash your hair 1 - 2 times a week. More than that and you’re stripping your hair of its natural oils.
3. Before you wash your hair, massage your scalp with warm coconut or sesame oil, using your fingers to spread from the roots down to the tips. Leave in for 30 mins to a few hours. Wash it out with a mild shampoo and apply conditioner.
4. Avoid dyes and harsh chemicals. They will make your hair dry and brittle over time.
5. Beauty begins from within. Try to eat an organic and mostly plant-based diet. Include dark leafy greens, nuts, seeds and healthy fats.
Health doesn’t just happen. It builds over time with small consistent actions.

My morning Ritual
4:30am - wake up before the city stirs. I enjoy the silence, and the chirping birds.
4:30 - 5:00 am - Abhyanga - massage. Neti - nasal cleansing. Gandusha - oil-pulling. Shower.
5:00 am - An hour of meditation.
6:00 am - Pranayama and Asana practice.
7:00 am - Chai, spiritual study and journal.
8:00 am - I’m ready for the day.
This is my daily rhythm. It grounds me.

Yoga, as we widely know it today - as exercise, is mainly a modern Western phenomenon.
In Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, Asana, the third of the Eight Limbs, is described in just three words:
Sthira Sukham Asanam.
Steady. Comfortable. Seat.
Patanjali, does not describe yoga as a workout but as a preparation for stillness. Asana is not an end and goal unto itself. It is mentioned only three times here, which is less than 1% of the classical text, yet today it is almost 100% of the practice.
Although important, the postures were never about performance. They were designed to make the body a fit vessel for breath, meditation and a vehicle for ascension of consciousness. So let us not stop at the level of the body.
Come experience Classical Yoga from the Source. Join me this Sunday, June 21st, when we delve deeper into this practice.
