The Simple Ayurveda Podcast

Although I wholeheartedly believe in the healing power of Ayurveda, I still choose to stay in the Western medical system. In this episode I explain the difference between Ayurveda and Western medicine, why I continue to see my doctors regularly and how I use Ayurvedic philosophy to lessen any damage from my recommended yearly colonoscopy. My hope is for you to think about how you can integrate Ayurveda into your medical care in a way that is nourishing and healing.

In this episode I answer your questions of how and why we are living in an RV with two small children along with the benefits and challenges of practicing Ayurveda in a small space. https://simpleayurveda.com/episode-26-ayurveda-rv-life-with-kids/

Meet Kiah, a vegan yoga mama and aspiring plant-based chef. We chat about bedtime rituals with little ones, acknowledging and honoring the menstrual cycle and letting go of what isn't helpful anymore.

Meet Jessica, an artist and naturally-minded mama of two little ones. She incorporates natural art in simple, easy ways to create grounding energy for herself and her family. She's also made a number of small shifts around self care that have really added up to more overall happiness and well being. I know you will be just as inspired by her as I am.

What is the basic nutrition of the soul? For mamas, I think it's really important we figure out the simple things that make us happy and then consider the way that we can include our children in those hobbies or activities so that we don't feel deprived. For me, it's a daily yoga practice and time in nature. In this episode I share why and how we don't bring toys with us to the beach or park, plus a basic introduction to nature journaling with kids. https://simpleayurveda.com/episode-23-minimalism-motherhood/ https://simpleayurveda.com/simple-ayurveda-for-mamas-an-online-course/

The energies of the doshas are spread throughout the day during certain times. We can use this to our advantage by creating a daily rhythm that aligns with what's already occurring in nature.
