If you’ve ever been intrigued by Wim Hof or the benefits of cold exposure, this is the episode for you. Ignite Sadhana’s goal is to push people to their limit and activate fight or flight, with the intention of opening a doorway to the bliss, the intuition, and the health benefits that lie on the other side. We talk about cold exposure, heat exposure, breathwork, kundalini, and how we need to step out of our comfort zone in order to experience our body’s full potential in this jam packed interview. Enjoy! 🧊🔥

We’re back…and we’re kicking off Season 4 with an interview that not only left us feeling inspired, but also challenged us to take a few steps out of our comfort zone. Sara is an expert in aura photography, breathwork, female sexuality, and letting her intution guide her. She is living proof that when we truly desire something, the universe will conspire in our favor. This is a good one. Enjoy✨📷🌿

We had a lot of fun this week talking about the recent Vedic astrology birth chart readings we received from Jill Blumenstock (if you haven’t listened to our previous podcast interview with her….start there!). We chat rising signs, what the planets have in store for us this year, and blame the planets for our personalities (because who doesn’t). Enjoy! 🪐

Lately, we’ve been talking a lot about how nature affects humans. This week we’re switching gears to talk about a major way humans affect nature: the oil industry. Two destructive oil spills occurred in the last two weeks, and we think they’re important to discuss. We also touch on the damaging effects of cruise ships, and some small positive stories to lighten us up at the end.
