Jaysea DeVoe [deva?] is a yoga instructor. She has the challenging job of teaching fidgety preschoolers the ancient spiritual practice, but once her charges get going, she says, "They really start to focus and listen."

Click for INTERACTIVE mag

According to Ayurveda [Vedic science of health], the energetic qualities of the doshas (or body/mind types: vata, pitta, and kapha) rotate throughout the day. So different influences predominate during different portions of the day. They can affect our practices of poses (asana), pranayama (spirit control), and meditation as well as our strength, state of mind, mood, and more. As yoga therapists, acknowledging and understanding these cycles can help us more effectively work with clients and students. The inherent qualities of the doshas have a strong influence...
