Ayurveda is the science of life. It emphasizes on prevention and encourages the maintenance of health by paying close attention to balancing right thinking, diet and lifestyle. It is a holistic science which deals with preventive and curative aspect of disease. Yoga has a complete approach with pranayama, sun salutes, inversions, forward bends and backbends, twisting, balancing and standing poses, chanting, and a full final relaxation (which is when the Ayurvedic doshas are balanced by your practice).
