Yoga Darshana and Ayurveda being contemporary sciences have influenced and complemented each other. The concepts of Yoga Darshana are selectively incorporated in Ayurveda to suit its objectives viz., ‘Swasthya Rakshana’ and ‘Roga Prashamana.’ Most of the concepts of yoga are accepted as such, some are modified for the medical science. Application of the concepts of yoga in conjunction with Ayurveda enhances the therapeutic application of both the contemporary systems of healing. Ayurveda provides the appropriate lifestyle recommendations for Yoga practice, as well as the background to unfold the full healing potential of all aspects of Yoga. It is important to integrate Yoga and Ayurveda in order to bring out a complete holistic healing system. Integrating Yoga with Ayurveda adds a spiritual and psychological dimension to Ayurvedic treatment modalities, without which Ayurveda tends to become a mere physical model devoid of spiritual and Vedic healing powers. Ayurveda focuses on individual’ constitution or body type which is referred to as Prakriti. It is defined as expression of a person in context to morpholo-gy, physiology, behavior and relation to ecology. The application of Tattvas of Yoga Darshana in Ayur-veda finds similarity in some contexts and dissimilarity in others, which are elaborated in the article and along with This Yoga Asanas according to the specific constitution of an individual is cited in this article.
