Hey Cindy! My folks prefer Ayurvedic remedies as much as possible. Personally due to differing interests I haven't really looked into Ayurvedic philosophy in detail as such but it's always around me in my city of Mangalore.

Quite like yourself I enjoy brown rice and food items made using Coconut oil (it's quite commonly used in Southern-India) and a hard pressure during massages.

I think i'm going to go and attend that Yoga class once or twice in the week in my gym that I've been dreading about since I have poor flexibility. You make it look really easy from your other pics that Sean has taken! :P
