Thrive with Cate Stillman Podcast

Yoga can be a great form of spiritual practice or a method of physical activity. One less common way to practice that deserves attention, however, is through embodiment. Mark Walsh is a powerful advocate and teacher of embodiment through yoga. By focusing on ourselves and how certain posed make us feel, we can really connect with our feeling and our personalities on a deeper level.

Mark’s embodiment yoga courses teaches us how to utilize the different archetypes present in yoga poses to strengthen those aspects of ourselves to which we have weaker connections. Embodiment practices can teach us that Warrior two makes us feel confident and warrior-like, but also how we can utilize similar micro-poses in our everyday lives to give us access to those same systems of being. Finding these new connections within our own bodies allows us to also form better connections with the world around us - something that can benefit anyone willing to give it a try.

• 2:40 - Embodiment yoga practices can provide entirely new experiences and challenges in the way we feel in our bodies. what you experience. Actually feeling the differences between child’s pose and warrior poses provide us with a new emotional and psychological point of view that can give us deeper insight into ourselves.
• 7:45 - A powerful short term  benefit of embodiment can utilizing micro-postures in our everyday lives to achieve certain archetypes in mind and body. Bringing this form of embodiment off the mat can help us engage that pattern, archetype or energy in a beneficial way.
• 18:40 - In the long term, embodiment can really impact your life. It can lead to better emotional and physical health, as well as stronger and more meaningful relationships.
• 22:00 - Practicing embodiment allows us to live with deeper integrity. We have access to stronger connectivity and bliss that may not be available to others who avoid exploring themselves and their bodies in this revolutionary way.

• “In a balanced yoga practice there so many archetypes we move through.” - Cate Stillman
• “Where are you gazing - where are you directing your attention and energy?” - Cate Stillman
• “The more embodied you become, the more bliss you have access to.” - Cate Stillman

Joel Einhorn began his journey into an entrepreneur of Ayurvedic medicine with a personal tragedy. In 2008, he was in a bike accident that lead to a traumatic brain injury. Desperately in need of a treatment that would help him heal, he found himself introduced to an Ayurvedic doctor. After a treatment regimen of herbal remedies, he found himself stronger than ever in a matter of months.

With a newfound desire to share the powerful healing properties of herbal remedies with others, he founded HANAH. Now, he is bringing sustainably sourced, powerful remedies to those of us who might not otherwise find these remedies within reach.

Most recently, Joel has become involved with the herbal ecosystem in Bhutan. With a profound abundance of amazing herbs, Bhutan has the potential to sustainably export these products for the benefit of others. Recently, HANAH has released Cordyceps Flush, a product great for athletic performance and sourced from nature - not a laboratory. Their next product (embargoed, launching mid-September) is a Turmeric blend also wild-harvested in Bhutan.

The blend includes some of the world's purest turmeric with wild-harvested black pepper. In combining these two ingredients, the bioavailability of the curcurmin (the active compound in turmeric) has been found to increase by 2000% - hacking the efficacy of the ingredient. Turmeric is touted for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and has been found to help ward off heart disease and lead to improved brain function, among many other health benefits.

The astounding benefits of the products that Joel is sourcing is very clear. In the near future, we may find that a more trustworthy and natural source of herbal remedies is available for those of us far from the source.

• 6:20 - HANAH is one of the first companies to do business with Bhutan - a region rich in powerful herbs. The goal is for them to bring this amazingly rich source to people who otherwise would not have access.
• 7:20 - One of HANAH’s newest products sourced from Bhutan relies on their cordyceps mushrooms. The result - named Cordyceps flush - has been astonishing in its impact on athletic performance since it was released on the market.
• 19:25 - If you are buying mushrooms from stores in the US, you are consuming lab grown mushrooms. Even though the scientists say these lab grown mushrooms are just as beneficial, they are truthfully less effective, and in some cases harmful, compared to the naturally grown mushroom variety.
• 24:25 - People do not realize that when it comes to herbal remedies like turmeric, that a vehicle for absorption is essential.  Your body is not absorbing it properly unless it is combined with something else such as black pepper.
• 26:20 - Raw sugar cane and milk are great delivery devices for herbal remedies.  HANAH uses a combination of honey, sesame oil, and raw sugar in their herbal mixes, and soaks their ashwagandha in raw milk in order to provide maximum absorption for your body.

• “There are so many levels of disconnect between the person harvesting the plant to the person taking the plant.” - Cate Stillman

• As we start learning more about all these ancient practices and all of these amazing herbs, we need to know where they come from.” - Joel Einhorn

Joel Einhorn is the founder and CEO of HANAH. He founded HANAH in 2015 out of necessity - in 2008, while training for his second Ironman triathlon, Joel was in a serious bike accident and suffered a traumatic brain injury and broken collarbone. He was unable to sleep for two days and suffered vertigo every time he closed his eyes. He was introduced to a doctor of Ayurvedic medicine who set him on a regimen of daily herbal remedies, such as ashwagandha and other ingredients now found in HANAH ONE.

Joel’s vertigo cleared within a matter of days, and in a matter of months Joel was swimming, running, and biking again – and feeling stronger than ever. As a result, he went straight to the source in Kerala, India, and created HANAH ONE – to assist and empower others on their journey. HANAH’s mission is to preserve and protect ancient medical wisdom and evolve it into remedies for modern living. They currently offer exclusive products created by the HANAH LIFE team and sourced from Bhutan and India. Coonect with Joel on HANAH Facebook, HANAH Twitter, HANAH Living Instagram and HANAH Website.

Megan Pintus joined the Yogahealer team in September. She currently resides in Virginia where she manages a yoga studio in a thriving community. Her profession and her passion are to support others in taking their visions of changing current culture and making them a reality.

Fern Olivia found herself at rock bottom when she fainted in a New York City subway and was rushed to the hospital. She now interprets this event as her soul wanting her to know that she was in misalignment with herself. After finding that the standard medical prescriptions weren’t healing her, she began a journey of investing in herself and her health through yoga and Ayurveda. Now, free from Hashimoto's disease, she lives in Nosara, Costa Rica, where she fills her days with the activities that she feels really align with her body and her desires.

Fern and Cate chat about the power of autodetermination, and how we have so much more power in our lives that we may believe. Taking that step and acknowledging that “everything that can be is within you” allows us to realize the boundlessness of such a path. Anyone is capable of autodetermination, it just take a long and arduous path to achieve that kind of power.  By tapping into our intuition and clairvoyance, we can heal our bodies and souls through purification and detoxification rituals.

By allowing ourselves to change and listening to our bodies’ needs, we can even heal our thyroid of the toxic residue that weighs it down. Everyone is capable of living a freer form of their own life - we just have to take the initiative to invest in ourselves and the journey. The investment we take be in the form of classes and teachers, or in the form of time dedicated to practices and rituals. In the long run, these habits and new beliefs that we form allow us to thrive as a better version of ourselves.

• 5:00 - The path of people waking up to their bodies and their need to change their lives involves the power of autodetermination. By taking those steps to change your life and your habits, you can reach a new level of power and control over yourself and your environment.
• 8:40 - We like to admire those who have achieved a more optimal state of being that we admire. However, it is important to remember that luck was not involved - any positive change in someone’s health and level of freedom was achieved through plenty of real struggle.
• 18:22 - There is a distinction between spending and investing in yourself. If you are healing your body, you are worthy of the practices that it takes, even if those classes or teachers cost real money. They have a value that goes beyond monetary value and is essential for your personal growth and health.
• 26:45 - When it comes to hormone or thyroid imbalance it is critical to speak your truth and use that as an expression to heal. Understand where you are not aligned in your life or feel trapped and make some real changes.  
• 29:30 - Purifying the body through cleansing is a critical part of realigning our bodies and cleansing out liver. If our liver is weighed down with toxic residue, it cannot cleanse and purify the blood properly.

Melanie Phillips built up loss over her lifetime, as everyone does. When her partner committed suicide, however, she found that all of that loss and grief she never dealt with became exposed. She came out of her struggle with loss with new knowledge of the grieving process and with a profound desire to help other deal with loss.

Melanie and Cate discuss the importance of building up resiliency with good habits before life gets tough. It is so much easier to establish those habits when we are at a good place in our lives. That way, when the going gets tough, we are better prepared to handle our losses. The beauty about loss is that it gives us a great time to really get rid of what is not working.

By decluttering and seeing the essentials, we can restructure our lives to better fit our needs. Melanie speaks to the power of relishing in the time that we have available to us, and really cherishing our precious and delicate lives.

• 3:10 - Over time we find that our grief accumulates. When life and loss happens, and we aren’t prepared with the tools to understand or navigate the process, we will break down and not necessarily break through.
• 6:00 -  When we are addressing health issues with Ayurveda, we can look at it as a bucket of doshas that can accumulate in the physiology. It can overflow with disease, and Ayurvedic medicine can find many points to address that accumulation of disease through minute changes in our habits.
• 7:30 - The way that we unravel our grief really impact our experience. By establishing a moment-to-moment awareness we can better address our habits and really understand what we are feeling.
• 18:05 - It is important to recognize how delicate and precious life is every day. That way we can revel in the moments and enjoy them for what they are while we are present in this life.
• 21:20 - Address grief really involves addressing what we truly need at that time. Whether it be sleeping early, or eating only when we are hungry, these habits provide structure and foundation for the healing process to take place.

James Clear’s life was forever changed when he faced a devastating injury to his brain in his junior year of high school. After months of hard work and determination, he fought his way back to success in sports, school, and his life. He credits these astounding successes to his “atomic habits.” This concept is something that he wishes to share with the world.

James wants to educate people about a new revolutionizing system for change that has the potential to alter the way we pursue goals. He explains that “Atomic Habits” are the small habits that we implement in our lives that compound to give us the results we are seeking.

We often get discouraged because we expect change to be linear, when in actuality, we experience a “Plateau of Latent Potential”. By realizing that we can get 1% better everyday, and understanding that this improvement compounds, we are more motivated to put in the work that gets us to that breakthrough moment. By focusing on identity based habits and on who we want to become, we are much more likely to succeed in our level of achievement. James emphasizes the important of analyzing and being open to altering our beliefs in order to allow ourselves to grow.

The real power in this process is that it can actually lead to us evolving our beliefs in ourselves. The habit feedback loop involves the cue, the craving, the response, and the reward. By understanding the steps of habit formation, we can better create and break good and bad habits, respectively. Read all about how you can start this transformative new system with James Clear’s book, “Atomic Habits.”

• Habits can work for you or against you in life. By understanding how we can design them in our favor, habits can help us achieve our goals.
• It is important to be patient in developing good habits. The effects often remain unnoticeable until we break out of the “Plateau of Latent Potential.”
• By focusing on our systems in place, rather than on our goals, we can better initiate change in ourselves.
• The most effective way to achieve change is to focus on what we want to become.
• By learning the “Four Laws of Behavioral Change” we can effectively build better habits.

• “Habits are the compound interest of self- improvement.” - James Clear
• “The most practical way to change who you are is to change what you do.” - James Clear
• “You can choose the identity you want to reinforce today with the habits you choose today” - James Clear
• “ Every goal is doomed to fail if it goes against the grain of human nature.” - James Clear

James Clear is an American entrepreneur, author, and photographer. His pursuit of habit evolution began with a devastating injury in high school. His amazing recovery and return to success inspired him to share what he learned about habit evolution with the world. James dreams of helping everyone to answer the question: “How can we live better?” He is the creator of the Habits Academy, a training platform for those that aspire to create better habits for themselves. In addition to his book “Atomic Habits” he also releases a weekly newsletter that integrates academic research, storytelling, and personal experience in order to share the art of science of how to live better.

In the chaotic and stimulating modern age, we often find ourselves living in our minds rather than our bodies. This can lead us to getting out of sync with the habits that allow us to thrive. Richard Hudak began his detox journey with Yogidetox in the fall of 2010, and has regularly returned to the practice seasonally ever since. When he began this transformation, he was 45 lbs heavier and out of tune with his body.

The Yogidetox program has provided him with a support community that has guided him through a powerful mental and physical transformation.

Richard and Jessica talk about how people may feel resistant when it comes to starting such a detox program. Overcoming this resistance is critical, whether it be with a support buddy or due to a sudden change in mindset. Richard’s personal journey involved getting more in touch with his physical activity needs by practicing cycling regularly. He found himself in 100k races not for the competition, but for the satisfaction of doing it for himself.

As the weight fell off and his health habits improved, Richard found his body naturally pulling him into the seasonal detoxes. With a better connection between his mind and body, Richard has been able to transform his mental and physical well-being. Learn how you can do the same for yourself with Yogidetox!

• 6:40 - In a detox experience, we want to avoid focusing on weight loss too much because it is such a narrow goal. We want to instead focus on the long-term habits we can instill in ourselves.
• 11:20 - While Yogidetox may seem like an individual experience, it actually is strongly based on the online support community. Once people step into the process and the forums, they recognize themselves as people that are contributing to a group traversing similar health journeys.
• 15:45 - People have resistance when it comes to beginning things such as yoga or starting cleanses. Ensuring accountability buddies to join with you or even to simply provide support leads to more probably success.
• 23:55 - Richard describes how after regular detoxing, his body has a sense for the seasonal change and a desire for the detox. By accustoming our bodies to these cleansing periods, we can naturally feel our bodies pull us into seasonal detoxing.
• 25:50 All of us have a tendency to live more in our heads. With all the stimulus and rushing in a modern world, these cleanses allow us to live more in tune with our bodies.

Richard Hudak "Talking about yogidetox"

My first one was fall of 2010. Also done other detoxes with other practitioners other than Kate.

We all had transformational experiences. Getting better at listening and doing what our bodies want. This has been a really big journey for you. Physical journey as well.

• 2:30 - I started practicing yoga at the end of 2005, certainly began a transformation. Doing the detox was complimentar to that. Trimming down, but wasn’t losing weight. Adding muscle, but adding in the yogidetox was another layer, andother, piece, andother supportive practice.” This spring was another deeper spiral in, and for me it kind of propelled me back into my love of road bycyling. Used lightness to do this. 100k charity ride. Athletic events, not competitive, but this is a different side of me I am experiencing.

• 4:40 - Big shifts in what he wants to do with cycling.
  
  Teacher says to think of ourselves as athletes. Schedules supportive practices for yourselves. 25 years ago it was commuting. But to reengage that. “ Its me coming into something that I clearly have enjoyed and being better that.”

• 6:40 - dont want to focus on weight too much. Kate would say don’t get on the scale. That’s not what this is about. That is a narrow goal. The way that people respond to him. I went from like 215 to like 185. There were some yoga friends that said, you are half the many you were.
  
  
• 8:50 - giant billboard, have people joined because of you.
  
  
• 9:10 - it is so interesting to face resistances face to face.  I had reasons not to do this at the start. Got it from yoga students and friends and also resistance. I hope I don’t make it sounds like a bigger deal than it is. I very often find that people are looking for a one size-fits-all solution.” Tell me what to do. Still have to inhabit a wellness model.
  
  
• 10:45 - This is a very on your own detox. Involves taking ownership of yourself, where you are and where you want to be. “
  
  
• 11:20 - once people step into the process and the forums, then people recongnize themselves as people that are contributing to the community. Once you are embraced, I’ve found someone who is experiencing the same things as you. I’ve got a craving, I had an energy bar. Hearing the “it happens” makes you feel so much better.
  
  
• 12:50 - there are so many people on the team. Was one of the reasons you did not join because of the idea of being in a group turns them off from it. It can feel very intimidating, it is just a hang up, it is in your own mind.
  
  
• 13:45 - people explain in my yoga classes that going to actual classes helps because of seeing what others do and getting alignment cues from the teacher really make the difference.
  
  
• 14:30 - I think we are an individualistic culture, but also a nation of joiners. Social media is effecting that. Social medica gives us the allusion that we are connected when we are really not. Typically the yogidetox, friends that I have never met in person.
  
  
• 15:45 - people have resistence, and the same type i had when initially attending yoga workshops. Totally worth the investment. Same is true as the detox. Get in as an early bird. You have accountablity buddies if you join with other people. I notice with yoga students. Regular attendees come with buddies. It insulates the merging with other people.
  
  
• 17:30 - Initially for me, where is Cate. She's so far. I have learn so much and i've gained so many tools. It enhances my day job. Sometimes i'm teaching four classes in a row, and sometimes large classes of students an dusing my voice all day long. Drinking lemon water all day allows me to support that. Taking space and quiet time. Consciously eating meals. Gives me some pause in the middle of my hectic day.
  
  
• 19:00- I have not done bodythrive. Has the book right here on my desk. Use it during the yogidetox.
  
  
• 19:45 - so at one plateau 30 lbs lost, and since the beginning 45 lbs. Its always more than that.
  
  That's the physical piece. You're choosing to do different things with your body. Emotionally or mentally or a subtle way, what can you say about those shifts that you've made.
• 20:50 - But don’t panic. I feel that is a somatic experience. Okay, I am going to work with my mind and be calm. When I first started to practice yoga. Don’t panic I got this. Trying not to snack in the middle of the day. Intermittent fasting, got this feeling like - “I got this! The meal will return! I will nourish myself when the time is right.”
  
  
• 22:30 - This is somatic, bodily experience too. For me, that's been important. Being an academic and a lot in the mind, it has been important to reinhabit the body. In my teaching philsophy, latin phrase “Sound mind, sound body.” The emotional experience.
  
  
• 23:55 - I feel myself pulled into each seasonal cleanse. Like checking my watch, sensing the change in the season, and saying its time. I fell myself naturally pulled into each seasonal cleanse.
  
  
• 24:35 It is habitual, but you are able to listen more deeply and you are able to hear what your body is really asking for.
  
  
• 25:00 A sensing into nature. Spring can break early or late, fall is more consistent. Seems always right. I start looking at the calendar and the email. Yogidetox is coming up again! The body leads the mind there. Habitual practice.
  
  
• 25:50 Living more within and from you body. All of us have a tendency to live more in our heads. So much stimulus and rushing, those are so valuable in everyday life.
  
  
• 26:25 - I get in the car and don't turn on the radio. This is what I do when i cleanse. I don’t turn the radio on right away as a matter of habit. Drive in peace. Imagining hell be listening to some of the calls in the car. Its a treasure.

• 27:45 Habit and routine. When am I gonna have all the time to do this? It fits in by becoming habit. Scrape my tongue, start the hot water. However, I am a person that can get stuck in other kinds of routines that don’t serve.  Where I am coming to the community, how do I deal with the discrepancy between the routines that serve and those that do not. Where does that pattern take you to?
  
  
• 29:40 - doing these seasonal cleanses, you've got the whole body thrive mindset. You're in that place. Habits. As we adopt these new habits and line up with nature a lot of these other things fall into place naturally. Once you find those, its not like you have to cram it in. something else must have fallen away, some things are deeply ingrained habits that we have to more consciously disentangle myself from emotional eating. Patterns of media consumption. How do i stay connected and informed enough, how do I also not let that go.
  
  
• 32:45 One of the things that has always impressed me about yoga teachers is that they are also students. Those are also students of other teachers. We go deeper or more subtle, we forget and remember. Seasonal cycle of entering the stream with the community. Its always in a supportive way.

When we first begin a detox, we may start off with plenty of excitement and motivation. However, once we actually eliminate those foods and activities we are used to, we often find that our detox goals fade. Why is that? Jill and Carly discuss their multiple Yogi Detox experiences, and how their preparation and expectations changed from their first detox to their preceding ones.

Especially when we are doing a serious detox for the first time, we try to go all in with strict limits, which doesn’t lead to much success. We can easily burn out and find ourselves back with or old habits. Carly explains that YogiDetox emphasize easing into and out of the detox so that the habits actually last, and so that we feel less overwhelmed. Jill discusses her struggles with emotional eating, and how she identified her food crutches that were preventing her from facing her emotions.

The support system provided in Yogi Detox is something both Carly and Jill used to help guide them through their detoxes, allowing them to actually accomplish their goals and personal development.

When we commit to a detox or a cleanse program - we often want to set strict boundaries and push ourselves to the limit. This can not only increase our risk of failure - but also decrease the chance that the effects of the detox last past its conclusion.  Lynne describes her struggle with the tendency to “Stop, Drop, and Detox.” She explains how her perspective on the detox experience changed during her multiple experiences in the YogiDetox program and what she has learned.

Jessica and Lynne discuss how the YogiDetox program encourages easing into and out of a detox. This way, it feels less strict and it is less likely that we struggle with not returning to our old habits. Lynne emphasizes the importance of the online forum in finding support in our health and personal growth journeys - especially when we lack similarly thinking people in our day-to-day lives. The detox experience isn’t meant to be a temporary form of existence - its meant to change our lifestyles even after we exit it’s defined boundaries.

• 2:20 - The YogiDetox program is a powerful guide when it comes to preparing for a detox.  It doesn’t matter who you are or your individual circumstances because you can design it to fit your life.
• 7:50 It is more effective when we ease into and out of a detox. YogiDetox is not meant as a quick cleanse, but rather as a method of setting yourself up for constant evolution as you enter the new season.
• 12:00 - Not everyone is fortunate enough to have friends or family focused on living healthy lives. Having the online forum that YogiDetox provides allows people from any environment to have access to support from people that are equally as invested in their health.
