"Move a muscle change a thought, change a thought and you change your life - Tuchy Palmieri”
This week, Mia and Adrienne sit down with Andrea and learn about how yoga changed her life. Andrea has been a friend of the podcast and a dear friend of both Mia and Adrienne. We discuss her journey as a Yoga Teacher and how she’s learned to create space for herself. She shares her grief story after losing her mother and how yoga helped her “be in your own energy” to process her feelings.

Check out this article from Yoga International on the Gunas: https://yogainternational.com/article/view/the-gunas-natures-three-fundamental-forces/
“THE GUNAS CLOSE UP
The word guna literally means “strand” or “fiber” and implies that, like strands of a rope, the gunas are woven together to form the objective universe. Philosophically, the theory of the gunas explains what this universe is made of and how it came to manifest itself as mind and matter. But more important for yoga practitioners, awareness of the gunas tells us whether we are genuinely moving forward in life (sattva), running in place (rajas), or losing our way (tamas).”Send us Fan Mail

Find yourself a comfy space to relax and enjoy some peaceful time with yourself. This week, Adrienne will guide you through a rainbow chakra meditation.
WedMD definition for Chakra:
"Chakra is a Sanskrit word that means wheel or cycle. There are seven main chakras situated along the spine, from the base of your spine to the crown of your head. This age-old belief has become integrated into many New Age styles of thought. Chakras are thought to provide subtle energy that helps your organs, mind, and intellect work at their best level. Chakras and spiritual energy have not been thoroughly examined in medical studies, but they may help you think about your own mind and body like any religion or belief. "Chakras are part of of your energetic nervous system. By understanding that Yoga offers us the idea that the same wisdom held within any of us, at any time and place - also exists the raw potential in each of us.
7 Chakras we explore in this meditation:
Root - Feet & Legs; Regulates our primal needs, physical existence and survival, I HaveSacral - Pelvis & Sex organs; Pleasure, Emotion, Change, Moon, Reproduction, I Feel
Solar Plexus - Core; Willpower, Self Esteem, Assertiveness, Metabolism, I Can
Heart - Chest, Arms & Upper Back; Relationships, Compassion, Unity, Balance, I Love
Throat - Neck, Jaw, Throat; Sound, Vibration, I Speak
Third Eye - Intuitively guided while rooted in reality
Crown - Personal acceptance of divinity and also engaged with others and the world.

Join Adrienne as she guides you through a meditation on Ahimsa. Ahimsa means non-harming to others as well as yourself. In the Yoga Sutra, 2.35, "In the presence of one firmly established in non-violence, all hostilities cease."
Words and thoughts shape our perspectives and our actions. Our internal dialogue has a major impact on how you feel about yourself and others.
A key practice of Ahimsa is simply becoming aware of your negative thoughts and then replacing those thoughts by embracing compassion, reverence and love for yourself and other.
When we rewire our negative thought patterns, we can increase our lifespan, lower our risk of depression, improve our cardiovascular health, and provide ourselves with coping skills during stressful times.Send us Fan Mail
