In this episode I wanted to go a little deeper into the SAD cycle - aka the cycle of stress, anxiety and depletion that are keeping you stuck, anxious and from stepping into the deeper purpose you have in life.

In my experience, we can’t fully step into our purpose, and self expression from a space of dysregulation.

We need to first balance the Doshas, the nervous system, and get into integrity in the body and mind and theeeeen from that space of clarity, step powerfully into our mission.

In this episode I’m going deeper into what causes that stress that you’re experiencing, and the different types of stress there are.

I’m sharing the role of Vata Dosha inside of the SAD cycle, and how it perpetuates it

I’m going into anxiety, and how anxiety is a manifestation and result of the stress we are experiencing,

And how depletion or exhaustion is the end result of all those things.

Then, I’ll share with you some tips to get out of the SAD cycle.

Welcome Back to this weeks episode of the Yogi Fuel Podcast!

In this episode I am diving deep into understanding the diets and the Doshas.

There are sooo many diets out there, from Keto, to paleo, to FODMAP, to vegan, vegetarian, and it can be overwhelming to understand what way of eating works well for us, let alone understand these from an Ayurvedic lens.

Well, in this episode I hope to dismantle some of that for you.

I’m going to be covering:

- What Ayurveda says about these “diets” - hint it depends ;)

- How we can modify any way of eating in alignment with Ayurveda - because ultimately Ayurveda doesn’t subscribe to one way of eating

- How Ayurvedic eating isn’t exclusive to an Indian Diet

- Covering the main principles of eating in alignment with Ayurveda

- And what Inuitive eating REALLY is - another hint it ISN’T about eating whatever you want, and how we can start to truly intuitively eat

And so much more

This episode was honestly so much fun to record, and as I was making the edits I was so happy with what came through, and I’m sooo excited for you to listen.

Do you feel a bit confused with all the titles, labels and certifications people hold in the wellness industry?

Do you feel like you want support and guidance but are like, who do I trust? What kind of practitioner/support do I need?

In this episode we:

- break down the main differences between coaching/counselling, consulting, and therapy.

- help you understand the main differences between the seemingly infinite certifications out there, and help you determine what support you may need.

- Unpack what we do inside Embodied Ayurveda, and why our method is - in my oh so humble opinion - the most powerful combination for deep change

- Understand how, in the context of moving forward, we need to not simply understand the “what” of what we need to do, but the how, and the who.

- The importance of working through a model that doesn’t simply tell you what to do, but supports you in identifying how to

Mel + The Yogi Fuel Team

In this episode I'm sharing all about the power of YOU, and your unique constitution.

According to Ayurveda, you were born with special gifts, energies, and qualities that make you unique.

The reality is, these gifts were given to you for a REASON. There is no one on the planet with the same make-up as you, and there is no one on earth who can do what you can do, in the exact way you can do it.

When we learn to honour, embody and EMBRACE those qualities, we step more fully into who we are meant to be, and we are able to do our Dharma in the way that was intended.

Whether you are a Yoga teacher, nutritionist, health professional, or whatever it is, even if it seems like there are a million other people doing what you're doing... there is NO ONE who does it quite like you.

And there are people who need you to show up in your full glory, so they can get the healing you have to offer.

But, it starts with you.

In this episode we will cover:

- Each of the Doshas along with their strengths and weaknesses

- How to harness the power of your Dosha and embody those strengths

- How to mitigate the impact of your weaknesses

If you want to show up more powerfully in your teaching and in your life, and finnnnally step into the impact you know you were put on this earth to create... this episode is for you.

In this episode, I'm reading my new free guide on Ayurveda for Yoga teachers- specifically, for those Yoga teachers who are looking to level up.

Who are done feeling tired, burnt out, out of alignment, and are ready to step into radical integrity in their body mind and teaching.

You were put here on this planet for a reason; with a big mission.

And maybe you feel that deep down, but something is in the way. You haven't actualized what you were put here on earth to do.

Maybe you can't pin point what it is...

Maybe you have an inkling but you're so damn tired you can't bring yourself to actually work on it..

Well - in this guide we're going to get clear on why that is, and what you need to do to change that so you can get out of your own way, and start showing up in a way that is in alignment with the person you were put on this planet to be.

In the guide I’m going over:

✨ The underlying mind-body imbalance that’s responsible for the stress and anxiety that's stopping us from embodying our full potential

✨The three key area's we need to balance to step into vibrant energy so we can create massive impact

✨The Three pillars of Yogi Fuel that MUST be addressed for deep, lasting change to occur so you can finally step into the most vibrant, aligned version of yourself.

I have poured my heart and soul into this guide, and I know it’s going to be incredibly helpful.
