What can we do about our tendency to live in extremes? In this episode of the NEW Ayurvedic Woman podcast Dr. Satyavani and co-host Prajna Madhavi provide some insights on how to stay in balance not only physically but also through daily life where societal extremes have become the norm but don't have to.

If we want to use this health as a basis of, or as part of, the path to enlightenment we have to cultivate, nurture, strengthen, experience and embody confidence. Confidence is enlightenment.
