Many people are walking through the day stressed, anxious, exhausted and on the verge of burn out. They're doing ALL THE THINGS, eating clean, doing the Yoga, but may not be tapped into the power of their breath.

I find the breath so fascinating. It is such a simple, yet powerful tool that we can access literally anytime.

And in my opinion, is perhaps the missing link when it comes to cultivating more energy and ease in our lives.

In the Podcast I share the Ayurvedic perspective on breath and how it relates to our stress and energy levels, and also some science that backs it up.

I also mention an amazing tool - The Breathing App, by Eddie Stern. This is an amazing resource that you can download to support you in learning some simple resonance breathing.

In this episode of the Yogi Fuel Podcast, I am diving into the importance of food for your practice, but why it also isn't everything.

In this episode we cover:

- Why food is important for your physical practice, and how it helps to build the physical tissues

- Why we want to be mindful about what we eat, and nourish our body but also hold these ideals lightly

- Why veganism is not the absolute truth when it comes to a Yogic diet, and why there is no one size fits all approach

- Some changes to the Yogi Fuel Method online coaching program

In this episode I share about some important (and amazing) changes I've made to the Yogi Fuel Method, my online coaching program designed specifically for Yogis. If you are struggling with stress, anxiety and low energy, this program is for YOU!

In this episode, I sit down with Shawn Weldman, Manual osteopath, and founder of Photoelectric Synergy and we chat all things Blue light, EMF, and the unconscious use of technology.

It was a pleasure to chat with him about what ended up being about so much more than I anticipated. We get into topics like:

- Conscious Parenting

- Taking personal responsibility for your feelings

- How the microcosm is the macrocosm and how our actions affect everyone.

We are living in a world of hyper stimulation. We're constantly on our phones, binge watching Netflix, or engaging our senses in some way or another.

Pratyahara, or the control of the senses, is the 5th limb of Yoga. In this episode I share about some really practical ways we can take this limb into our everyday lives.

Just being mindful about what we are taking in, who we choose to surround ourselves with, and how often we're engaging with technology are just a few ways we can monitor our sense organ stimulation.

I'd love to hear about how you're incorporating this limb into your everyday life, so if you wanna share, you can send me a message over on instaream @yogifuel or a private e-mail to [email protected]

I've also started taking on a few 1:1 Ayurvedic coaching clients, so if you're interested in learning more, let me know! This practice is seriously transformational, and it would be my honour to support you.

Shifting up our habits with the seasons is one of the basics habits of Ayurveda. In this podcast I'll be sharing why Seasonal eating is a natural Dosha balancing habit, and my top tips for seasonal eating.

I'll also discuss what to do to when you have a doshic imbalance that contradicts the seasons - like having high Vata during Pitta Season!

If you want to know more about shifting your eating habits to align with Ayurveda and your Dosha, send me a message on instagram @yogifuel

Also watch out, because the Yogi Fuel Academy is opening up for enrolment soon, and I've made some pretty stellar changes (not to toot my own horn or anything).

Ep. 10 How Eating is an Evolution & A Daily Practice | My Journey Into Veganism, Ayurveda and Beyond by Melissa Singh

Travelling is awesome, fun and full of adventure… but let's be honest it can feel overwhelming at times.

Yes we're seeing beautiful parts of the world, or relaxing by a beach, but we're also deviating from our routine, familiar food, structure, we're on the move - and all these things can aggravate Vata Dosha.

In this episode I'm sharing my fave tips for balancing vata dosha while travelling, and a little bit about what I brought on the plane to India with me (because yes, I meal prepped like a freak in the days leading up to our travel.

So here are my top 5 Tips for balancing Vata while travelling:

1. Drink plenty of HOT water, ideally with spices

a. Vata is associated with cold and dry qualities. Having plenty of hot water helps keep you hydrated, but also helps to mitigate the cold and drying effect of vata aggravation. The spices will also help with digestion which can also be compromised in a vata aggravated state.

2. Eat warm, grounding foods

a. Eating warm. Oily, spiced foods - like Kitchari - are super helpful while travelling, which is why we brought some with us on the way BACK from india. We also brought: Samosas, Chilas, and Dosas. Yogi Fuel Approved recipes of each coming soon!

b. When we have cold, raw, and un-spiced food, it can aggravate vata dosha. On the way THERE all our food was COLD because I made it the night before. My vata was SUPER aggravated en route to India and I had crazy uncomfortable bloating the entire time.

3. Maintain your morning and evening routine as much as possible

a. Maintaining your routine - with leeway obviously - is super important. Routine and ritual help us feel grounded and balance vata dosha. Pick a few simple things from your morning routine, and do them daily!

4. Practice daily - think consistency over depth

a. This is something, admittedly, I didn't do on this trip and I paid for it. Mentally I felt pretty anxious, but time and space just didn't permit for me to do my practice, and I clearly didn't prioritize doing even a little. BIG MISTAKE! Even if you can get on your mat for 5 minutes, or your meditation cushion, or say a couple rounds of your japa - DO IT! It will pay off in dividends.

5. Nasya and/or Neti Pot Daily

a. Vata dries out the airways, and specifically nasal passages. Clearing them daily and lubricating them with nasya oil helps to keep them in tip top shape!

Alright - those are my tips!

In this Podcast Episode I'm uncovering what the heck Ojas is!

This is a concept that is unique to Ayurveda, but applies to every single one of us in the modern world.

We are all subject to the stress of life, and learning about Ojas, it's signs of depletion and how to build it back up are so important or living a life of abundant energy.
