In this heartfelt conversation, Amy Wheeler sits down with Shabana Safdari, yoga therapist, teacher, and founder of Yoga with Shabana, based in Bangalore, India. Shabana's journey into yoga began with a deeply personal health scare when her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Faced with anxiety and fear, she turned to yoga—first for her own healing, and eventually as a lifelong path of service.Shabana shares:How a health crisis transformed her relationship with her body and inspired her to take charge of her wellbeing.Her experience of nesophobia (fear of illness) and how yoga helped her move from anxiety to resilience.The life-changing impact of yoga therapy on her vertigo, and why she committed to making it her profession.The importance of intention in yoga practice and teaching, and how acts of kindness are integral to true healing.Her philosophy of simple, sattvic living—fresh food, fresh breath, and fresh thoughts—as the foundation of wellness.The role of prāṇāyāma as a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern science, and why she believes it is the most powerful tool for transformation.How she combines yoga therapy, prāṇāyāma, and sound healing in her signature Rest Reset Method to help clients manage stress, recover from burnout, and rediscover joy.Throughout the episode, Shabana emphasizes that yoga is not just postures—it is a holistic system of mindset, lifestyle, compassion, and self-regulation. Her clarity, kindness, and lived wisdom shine through, offering listeners a reminder that true yoga begins with simplicity and intention.Connect with Shabana: Find her on LinkedIn at Shabana Safdari (search Yoga with Shabana).

Prolific, five-time James Beard Award-winning cookbook author Dorie Greenspan is the queen of sweets, and she just released her 15th cookbook, Dorie’s Anytime Cakes. Famous for her beloved World Peace Cookies and many baking books, including one she wrote with Julia Child, it's not surprising that Dorie wants to start and end her last meal with dessert. What's wrong with eating dessert first, anyway? Rachel chats with Ayurvedic counselor Jodi Boone about the life-bettering benefits of starting your meal with sweets. And when Dorie told Rachel she ate the same exact lunch every single day for years, the first person we thought of was Donald Gorske. Gorske has eaten almost nothing but McDonald's Big Macs since 1972, putting his current Big Mac count at over 35,000. Rachel called the Fond du Lac, Wisconsin native on his flip phone to learn why the man eats two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun ... Every. Single. Day. Become a Cascade PBS member and support public media! Watch Rachel’s Cascade PBS TV show The Nosh with Rachel Belle.

In this episode of the Elements of Ayurveda Podcast, we're exploring a truly beautiful concept in Ayurvedic wisdom, Sneha, a Sanskrit word that means both oil and love. And that's no coincidence. Sneha is the essence of softness, warmth, and care that keeps our body, mind, and heart supple. It's both nourishment and an act of conscious love, a daily reminder that tending to ourselves is not selfish, but sacred. In this episode, Colette shares how Sneha can be practiced both externally through self-oiling rituals like abhyanga, and internally through nourishing fats such as ghee or medicated oils. You'll also discover how Sneha softens not only the physical body but also the mind and emotions, helping to cultivate resilience, calm, and compassion in your daily life. In this episode, you'll learn: The dual meaning of Sneha in Sanskrit and why oiling is an act of love The difference between external Sneha and internal Sneha  How Sneha supports physical health, from joint mobility and skin nourishment to digestion and immunity The emotional and psychological benefits of Sneha for calming Vata, reducing stress, and fostering self-compassion How to personalize your Sneha practice for each dosha and season Simple, daily Sneha rituals you can try at home, even if you only have a few minutes Links & Resources Sponsor: Kerala Ayurveda Academy – Advance your Ayurvedic education with the Advanced Ayurvedic Practitioner (AAP) Program.

Author and Ayurvedic practitioner Heather Grzych explores the tragic and complex history of the swastika — a sacred symbol of well-being and auspiciousness in Indian traditions that was later twisted by the Nazis into one of the most feared emblems of hatred in modern history. Heather traces how the symbol's meaning shifted as it crossed cultural and historical boundaries, reflecting on how words and images can be deliberately or unconsciously transformed over time. Drawing from her background in Ayurveda, as a writer, and her personal experience as an American mother of child from a Jewish lineage, she asks whether a symbol can ever be healed, and how awareness, empathy, and communication might help us reconnect to the body of meaning beneath the wounds of history. Heather Grzych, ADLC is an American author and expert in Ayurvedic medicine who was formerly the president of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association and the head of product development for a multi-billion-dollar health insurance company. Heather's first book, The Ayurvedic Guide to Fertility, has sold thousands of copies worldwide, and her writing has been featured in Sports Illustrated, Yoga Journal, and the Sunday Independent. Her podcast, Wisdom of the Body, holds an average rating of 5 stars on Apple Podcasts and is in the top 2.5% of podcasts globally.  Connect with Heather: Learn more at www.heathergrzych.com   Instagram.com/heathergrzych Facebook.com/grzychheather   Read the first six pages of The Ayurvedic Guide to Fertility for FREE: https://www.heathergrzych.com   Connect with Heather to balance your health with Ayurveda: https://www.heathergrzych.com/book-online

In dieser besonderen Folge habe ich die Ehre mit dem indischen Botschafter Kumaran zu sprechen, der seit 2024 in Österreich tätig ist. Ein inspirierendes Gespräch über Ayurveda, gelebte Weisheit und wie Ayurveda und Schulmedizin Hand in Hand gehen können. Der Botschafter stammt aus Kerala, einer Region im Süden Indiens, die als Wiege des Ayurveda gilt. Er erzählt, wie Ayurveda in Indien – besonders in Kerala – nicht als Theorie, sondern als lebendige Alltagskultur verstanden wird. Schon Kinder wachsen dort mit einem intuitiven Wissen über Ernährung, Heilpflanzen und gesunde Routinen auf. ** Was Dich erwartet:** - Persönliche Erfahrungen des Botschafters mit Ayurveda in seiner Familie - Warum das Interesse an indischer Gesundheitslehre in Europa wächst - Wie Ayurveda und Yoga als kulturelle Brücken wirken können - Wie wir mit Ayurveda unsere Gesundheit selbst in die Hand nehmen können

Für viele ist das Frühstück der gemütlichste Moment des Tages - für andere dagegen völlig überflüssig. Doch was stimmt wirklich? Ist Frühstück die wichtigste Mahlzeit des Tages oder nur ein überholtes Ritual? In dieser Folge meines Podcasts DA GEHT NOCH WAS geht's um die Wahrheit hinter dem Frühstück. Wir schauen uns an, wie unterschiedlich unsere Körper ticken - denn der eigene Chronotyp bestimmt, wann und wie wir essen sollten. Was dem einen Energie schenkt, stresst den anderen nur. Gemeinsam reisen wir kulinarisch um die Welt: Wir frühstücken einen Sesamring in Griechenland, Miso-Suppe in Japan und Dosa in Indien. Welche Kultur startet am gesündesten in den Tag? Warum würden Ayurveda- und TCM-Ärzte bei europäischen Frühstücksgewohnheiten die Hände über dem Kopf zusammenschlagen? Ist Orangensaft am Morgen wirklich gesund? Wie kann schon das Frühstück helfen, zuckerfrei zu bleiben. Und warum ist dabei sogar die Temperatur entscheidend? Ich verrate es Euch. Eure Anastasia.

This is only achieved through understanding and working with the chemical, energetic, and spiritual properties of the plants. His teachings embody a heartfelt respect, honor and reverence for the vast intelligence of plants in a way that empowers us to look deeper into the nature of our medicines and ourselves.

Send us a textEn este episodio hablo de mi ultimo retiro en  India, de los días en el ashram, de las meditaciones profundas y de ese recordatorio constante de que lo divino no está afuera, sino en lo simple.Reflexiono sobre cómo, con los años, mi relación con la espiritualidad ha cambiado: antes buscaba portales, rituales, signos en el cielo… hoy busco presencia. Antes necesitaba prender una vela o encender el incienso para “entrar en conexión”, hoy encuentro esa conexión en lo cotidiano: en una taza de té, en mirar el cielo, en el silencio.También hablo del Divine Timing, ese tiempo perfecto que no controlamos, de cómo confiar en lo que no sabemos —si habrá un próximo retiro en India o no, si la vida me llevará por otro camino— y rendirnos a la sabiduría que tiene su propio ritmo.Y sí, toco el tema del 11:11 y los llamados “portales energéticos”. No para negar su simbolismo, sino para recordar que el verdadero portal no se abre con fechas, sino con presencia. Que la magia está aquí, ahora, en la vida sencilla, en la práctica diaria de confiar. gracias por escucharme, amo compartir con ustedes ! hasta siempre, Luz www.luzorea.com instagram: @luzorea_ Support the show

In this conversation, we dive into why gut health must come before hormone therapy, how nervous system regulation transforms digestion, and why true detoxification isn't a cleanse, it's a reconnection to your body's natural rhythm. We also discuss peptides, NAD, and regeneration through a balanced, grounded lens. Dr. Guy Citrin is a board-certified naturopathic doctor and founder of Citrin Wellness and EndoAxis, where he helps patients restore vitality through integrative gut and hormone optimization. He blends evidence-based functional medicine with the wisdom of Ayurveda and emotional healing to guide people toward true regeneration.

Can a spa director also be a systems thinker, a creative artist, and a human performance strategist? In this episode, Arnaud Dieutegard, Senior Director of Wellness, Spa & Retail at Four Seasons Costa Rica, shares how he's reimagining resort wellness, from creative leadership and culturally rooted experiences to peak performance programs grounded in science. Listeners will hear how one property is using data, design, and disciplined creativity to move beyond "amenities" and build a truly transformational wellness ecosystem for guests. Arnaud traces his journey from a wellness-focused childhood in France to leading multi-property spa operations for Four Seasons, outlining how the role of the spa director has evolved into a strategic, revenue-driving position. Along the way, he unpacks new models in sleep health, retreat design, performance diagnostics, and the subtle art of teaching guests to listen inward instead of endlessly chasing external fixes. What You'll Learn: How the spa business has shifted from "nice-to-have" amenity to strategic, performance-driven revenue center in luxury hospitality Why today's therapists must act as wellness experts, guiding guests with personalized education, not just delivering treatments How Four Seasons Costa Rica blends ancestral healing practices with modern technology to create memorable, differentiated guest experiences A behind-the-scenes look at Peak Performance programs, including MRI, bloodwork, sleep analysis, and lifestyle interventions designed for long-term change Practical insights into creative discipline, how structure, time-blocking, and constraints can actually unlock innovation for spa leaders and wellness entrepreneurs Episode Highlights: 01:10 – What does a Senior Director of Wellness, Spa & Retail actually do across multiple Four Seasons properties? 07:45 – From hippie upbringing to Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, and tuba: how early influences shaped Arnaud's view of holistic wellness 16:30 – The evolution of the spa director role: from "just keep guests happy" to driving revenue, strategy, and innovation 24:05 – Designing memorable spa concepts by merging ancestral rituals with modern technology at Four Seasons Costa Rica 32:50 – Inside the Wellness Chalet and wellness villa: building retreat-style experiences within a luxury resort environment 41:20 – How the Peak Performance program uses diagnostics and lifestyle intervention instead of quick-fix "biohacks" 48:40 – The Sleep Box: a curated toolkit for travelers that turns any room into a personalized sleep lab 55:15 – Discipline, creativity, and inner listening: Arnaud's prediction for the future of wellness and hospitality Meet the Guest: Arnaud Dieutegard is the Senior Director of Wellness, Spa & Retail at Four Seasons Costa Rica, where he oversees on-property operations and supports multiple Four Seasons spas across the Americas. With a background that spans aesthetics, holistic therapies, music, and hospitality leadership, Arnaud is known for designing wellness concepts that are financially sound, culturally authentic, and deeply human.   Tools, Frameworks, or Strategies Mentioned: Cluster Wellness Leadership Model – Supporting several Four Seasons properties with shared expertise, concept development, and operational insight Ancestral + Tech Integration Framework – Designing experiences that pair local rituals (cacao, Ayurvedic and Chinese influences, Costa Rican ingredients) with modern modalities and devices Wellness Chalet & Wellness Villa Retreat Model – A contained, retreat-style environment inside a resort, where guests follow a pre-designed, stress-free wellness program Peak Performance Program – A high-touch, data-driven lifestyle intervention that includes: Pre-arrival MRI, blood panels, and at-home sleep study On-site coaching and analysis with a human performance physician Personalized supplement and habit recommendations Six months of post-stay follow-up with a multidisciplinary clinical team Sleep Box Toolkit – A curated sleep optimization kit including a continuous-measurement sleep ring, red-light panel, breathing tools, blue-light blockers, masks, and travel-friendly accessories Creative Discipline Framework – Time-blocked "creative workshops," constraints-based creation (like limiting instruments or colors), and structured routines that allow innovation without chaos Closing Insight: At its core, this episode is about shifting wellness from "more" to "meaningful." Arnaud reminds us that the next wave in hospitality isn't just about bigger menus or more technology, it's about teaching guests to notice their own cues, trust their bodies, and integrate what they learn after they go home. As he puts it, real transformation happens when discipline, creativity, and inner listening finally align.   Looking for expert advice in Spa Consulting, with live training and online learning?   Spa Consulting: wynnebusiness.com/spa-management-consulting Live Training: wynnebusiness.com/live-education Online Learning: wynnebusiness.com/spa-management-courses   Other Links: Connect with Arnaud Dieutegard: linkedin.com/in/arnaud-dieutegard   Follow Lisa on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisastarrwynnebusiness, Listen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/at/podcast/starrcast/id1565223226 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/00tW92ruuwangYoLxR9WDd Watch the StarrCast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@wynnebusiness Join us on Facebook: facebook.com/wynnebusiness/?ref=bookmarks Join us on Instagram: instagram.com/wynnebusiness

In Yoga, daily actions become sacred moments we experience with awareness and surrender.In this episode, Myra Lewin explores two of the niyamas from Patanjali's Yoga Sutras: svadhyaya (self-study or reflection) and ishvara pranidhana (surrender to the divine). Together, they illuminate the inner path of Yoga: refining the mind so it doesn't run (or ruin) the show, but instead serves the heart.Through reflections from her practice and personal life, Myra shares how these teachings support us to:Observe our thoughts and motivations without judgmentLet go of the illusion of control and rest in trustBalance discipline (tapas) with humility and devotionCultivate a life guided by peace, clarity, and loveWhen self-reflection meets surrender, grace begins to move through our lives, and we remember Yoga isn't something we do, but a way of being in relationship with the divine in all things.If leading others on the path of healing feels like your dharma, we invite you to apply now for a 1:1 clarity call with a member of our team so you can determine if one of our trainings is the right fit for you.

As someone who has officially (gulp) reached mid-life, I can say that despite some of the daunting realizations (I got old??) there are so many wonderful REVElations that occur. One of them being that we have a ton of learned wisdom to share. My guest this week, Katie Rose, wrote her most recent book, Yoni Codes: Reclaim the Power to Heal, by taking inventory of her life and sharing the ways she had found to heal, grow, and persevere. Katie Rose is a yoga teacher, Ayurvedic educator, and author based in Sydney, Australia. Over the past 30 years she has taught and mentored thousands of women, published several books, and built a global community of over 28,000. Her book grew from her own experiences of trauma and healing, and explores how women can access their own codes of power through Ayurveda, ritual, and goddess archetypes. At its heart, it's about how when we heal ourselves, we heal lineages — and how reclaiming the feminine can bring profound change.On this guest episode, Katie shares about how the yoni is both a physical and spiritual gateway and how she sees modern women reclaiming this sacred power in everyday life. She also speaks to how her book blends yoga philosophy, Ayurveda, and personal storytelling and why she wove these threads together as well as the recurring wounds & themes she noticed after working with thousands of women through Bhakti Rose. Together we discuss why women's communities and circles are so powerful for healing, how ancient practices like Ayurveda and yoga support trauma recovery, & the importance of women speaking uncensored truths.Bio:Katie Rose is a yoga teacher, ayurveda guide, doula and author with over 25 years of experience in the world of wellness.

Send us a textThousands of years before modern science emerged, the ancient science of Ayurveda propagated this prescient knowledge of the body's cellular anatomy, its recalibration and maintenance as the imperative to maintaining excellent health. In Ayurveda, the principle of autophagy is only one core part of a greater plethora of cellular function of the cellular anatomy, which in Sanskrit is referred to Śarīra Paramānus/Anu Srotāmsi, a vast invisible network of living units of the body analogous to modern cells. Today, science is progressively proving what the ancient rishis knew. Thanks to Yoshinori Oshumi cellular recycling now has a modern scientific name. Ohsumi, a brilliant biologist in Tokyo won the Nobel Prize in 2016 for “discovering” autophagy” the process where cells break down and recycle their own damaged components to survive and stay healthy. Ohsumi's work and findings are outstanding, and open the door to greater scientific knowledge of the cellular anatomy. Autophagy is a natural function of cell recycling, the process in which cells degrade and  recycle cellular components by breaking down and reusing damaged or unnecessary components within a cell. Autophagy is essential for a cell to function and to manifest the energy that it needs. Fully functional cells help us survive during periods of physical, emotional and spiritual stress. It can destroy pathogens like viruses and bacteria that have entered a cell. Cells are the basic building blocks of every tissue and organ in your body. Each cell contains multiple parts that keep it functioning. Over time, these parts can become defective or stop working. By deconstructing old parts of their cells they don't need, cells can recreate these junky bits into functioning cells they need to survive. Support the showMay Peace Be Your Journey~www.mayatiwari.comwww.facebook.com/mayatiwariahimsa.Buzzsprout.com Get Maya's New Book: I Am Shakti: https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/o-books/our-books/I-am-shakti Amazon.com Bookshop.org
