Happy new year and welcome to the next evolution of the podcast and ultimately myself. I will say it feels good, I feel as if I’m coming home to myself. I know I thought about taking January off but feel the call after my two week break to get back on the microphone, have juicy conversations and connect with everyone again.

Are you craving a more holistic lifestyle but don't have the time to figure out how?

You hear you need to listen to your body but you don't know what that means or where to start. You're not sure how much time it will take to start researching what a holistic lifestyle entails and what would actually benefit you.

You might be thinking great this will take years to learn and I don't have the time. You are right. It can take years to learn and will take hours if you try and piece together various traditions and ancient teachings yourself. Trust me, I've done that!

You don't know who to ask to get started. There is so much information out there it's hard to know what will work for you!

Imagine dramatically reducing your stress and anxiety around your health and wellness.

Unlike other programs that treat the body as separate components, learning to blend mind and body practices together works because it gives you lasting results that evolve as you do.

Let 2020 be the year you start to develop a deeper relationship with yourself and in turn develop deeper connections in your life.

How can you help a kapha child stay focused?

Gymnastics 

Going for a walk or park 

Doing headstands or handstands

Movement helps balance the kapha dosha

Movement into their day to get them outside of the house

Have a routine of reading & cuddling to help nurture their need for showing affection to their loved ones

Limit the sweet & salty flavors as the kapha dosha tends to become out of balance with sugary foods.

I wanted to touch on Ayurveda and kiddos and how you can help set your child(ren) up for success no matter their dosha. Just like an adult each dosha has a few unique qualities and in a child having boundaries set, the right amount of give and take can really help them succeed.

What are the doshas? They are the mind/body energies we consist of in Ayurveda we call them vata, pitta & kapha. We have all 3 in us in varying amounts. The unique make-up we have at birth is called our prakriti, when they are out of balance we call it our vikriti. So just like adults kids can be out of balance with their innate nature. For example you probably can think of your siblings as have a lot of similarities but you also have some differences. In Ayurveda a vata sibling for example might be the dreamer, the wonderer, the creative, where as the pitta sibling has the spreadsheet, organized notebook, never forgets their books at school. Parenting those two siblings you will have a different understanding as to what works for them vs what works for their sibling.

Today I want to dive into the pitta dosha and kiddos but let's start with pitta dosha framework no matter your age.

I recently went through a restorative yoga teacher training, which I loved. Our homework was to go to an event or do something outside of our comfort zone and see how we could use that experience in our yoga teacher training.

Hear what I did that was outside of my comfort zone and how it's already impacted my life.
