Ayurveda and yoga are sister sciences that more than complimenting each other for the sake of healing body, mind, and consciousness,  are intertwined branches of the same tree  with  roots in Samkhya philosophy. They share similarities and fundamentals on many levels:

Yoga & Ayuveda originated in the Vedic tradition .Yoga originates in the Yajur Veda, while Ayurveda originates in the Atharva Veda and Rig Veda.

The five elements which are the material manifestations of the evolutionary chain of pure consciousness and the  three gunas: sattva, rajas and tamas are fundamental to the practice of both Ayurveda and Yoga because these are the forces that need to be brought to consciousness for both healing and transformation to occur.  

Ayurveda and Yoga also share the same subtle  anatomy and physiology, consisting  of 72,000 nadis (subtle channels),  the seven main chakras , five bodily sheaths and  shakti (energy).

According to Ayurveda and Yoga , the root of disease are the kleshas and they both aim  at relieving  suffering by keeping  the body healthy for fulfilling our life's purpose.

While both yoga and ayurveda advocate  the regular practice of pranayama and meditation  for physical and mental health, yoga focuses more on the subtle level to be more in harmony with the source, whereas Ayurveda  deals more  with the health of the body  through  body purification systems  herbs, and food choices..

For a complete vision  of healing body, mind, and consciousness. it is inevitable that the  two sciences of Ayurveda and Yoga  should be practiced together  for transformation to occur.
