Jenn Collins- What is going to fill you up? by Andrea Claassen

I am a mama of two beautiful little girls and wife to a very hard working hubby. After working in corporate America and a non-profit, I decided it was time to make my dreams a reality. Having two kiddos and two cesarean sections at that, I understand the healing process of going through birth and the necessity for Postpartum recovery. I have a heart for mamas and their postpartum recovery needs to support them in being their best to care for their babies.

How to create a habit change Change your identity to change a habit Identify your Keystone Habit Transfer habit to an existing habit (pick a trigger) Batch your habits Make it ridiculously achievable to guarantee your success (start small) Schedule better habits...(put it on the calendar) Focus on the practice not the performance Replace bad habits with good habits Kaizen approach to habit change- small incremental improvements Surrender into the process not the outcome Figure out the “other” rewards you get from a bad habit. Rewrite those rewards into your “new” habit Connect with Andrea https://seasonallivingmamas.com/ https://www.instagram.com/seasonallivingmamas/ Free 5 Day Ayurveda for the Modern Mamas- https://seasonallivingmamas.com/5-day-ayurveda-for-modern-mama

How can we learn to connect to the winter season in a way that nourishes us? That is the question I've been asking myself. I'm all about nourishing myself this year. If I have goals with my fitness I want them to nourish me and not deplete me. I want to do a routine that is fun and still gets the job done. That can be your approach to winter. How can you connect to winter and feel nourished and excited about these 4-5 months. Connect with Andrea https://seasonallivingmamas.com/ https://www.instagram.com/seasonallivingmamas/

Why do we need rest? In our go go go society it’s hard to imagine that slowing down will lead to lasting results, but it’s true. That’s why intervals work so well you go all out for a bit but have time built in for rest. We have built our lives to look like always on the go without the rest component. That’s when burn-out, adrenal fatigue, and collapsed nervous systems can happen. Other reasons for rest Balance hormones Support for the immune system Reduce inflammation in the body Give our minds a break Enhance creativity Bring peace to your mind Connect with Andrea https://seasonallivingmamas.com/ https://www.instagram.com/seasonallivingmamas/

Happy new year and welcome to the next evolution of the podcast and ultimately myself. I will say it feels good, I feel as if I’m coming home to myself. I know I thought about taking January off but feel the call after my two week break to get back on the microphone, have juicy conversations and connect with everyone again.

Are you craving a more holistic lifestyle but don't have the time to figure out how? You hear you need to listen to your body but you don't know what that means or where to start. You're not sure how much time it will take to start researching what a holistic lifestyle entails and what would actually benefit you. You might be thinking great this will take years to learn and I don't have the time. You are right. It can take years to learn and will take hours if you try and piece together various traditions and ancient teachings yourself. Trust me, I've done that! You don't know who to ask to get started. There is so much information out there it's hard to know what will work for you! Imagine dramatically reducing your stress and anxiety around your health and wellness. Unlike other programs that treat the body as separate components, learning to blend mind and body practices together works because it gives you lasting results that evolve as you do. Let 2020 be the year you start to develop a deeper re

How can you help a kapha child stay focused? Gymnastics  Going for a walk or park  Doing headstands or handstands Movement helps balance the kapha dosha Movement into their day to get them outside of the house Have a routine of reading & cuddling to help nurture their need for showing affection to their loved ones Limit the sweet & salty flavors as the kapha dosha tends to become out of balance with sugary foods.

I wanted to touch on Ayurveda and kiddos and how you can help set your child(ren) up for success no matter their dosha. Just like an adult each dosha has a few unique qualities and in a child having boundaries set, the right amount of give and take can really help them succeed. What are the doshas? They are the mind/body energies we consist of in Ayurveda we call them vata, pitta & kapha. We have all 3 in us in varying amounts. The unique make-up we have at birth is called our prakriti, when they are out of balance we call it our vikriti. So just like adults kids can be out of balance with their innate nature. For example you probably can think of your siblings as have a lot of similarities but you also have some differences. In Ayurveda a vata sibling for example might be the dreamer, the wonderer, the creative, where as the pitta sibling has the spreadsheet, organized notebook, never forgets their books at school. Parenting those two siblings you will have a different understanding as to what works for the

I recently went through a restorative yoga teacher training, which I loved. Our homework was to go to an event or do something outside of our comfort zone and see how we could use that experience in our yoga teacher training. Hear what I did that was outside of my comfort zone and how it's already impacted my life.

Building Ojas Where can we add in nature into our day- even if that means parking farther away, or walking your mail to a mailbox down the road from you. Where can you build in your me time? If not at the end of the day, can you do 30 minutes at the start of your day? Laugher- enough said Activities that make you happy- this is why I love my 10 minute Ayurvedic medicine tips. Set your timer for 2pm and when it goes off ask yourself what you need and do it. Put this in your work calendar we all have 10 minutes we can take for us most days of the week. Creativity- maybe this won't happen on a daily basis but how can you add creativity on your weekends. Maybe once a month you sign-up for a new class to express yourself. Sleep 7-8 hours a night. Set your bedtime and stick to it! Foods to enjoy- honey, dates, almonds, coconut, avocado, ghee. Oil your skin inside and out- cook with oils and add a hint of sesame oil to your skin Where to connect with Andrea Instagram- instagram.com/andreaclaassen21 Website- andreac

Zoe Bio Zoe’s wellness journey began at age 12 with the opening of a heated power yoga studio in her neighborhood. After taking just one yoga class Zoe was astonished at how amazing she felt. She quickly fell in love with the practice and found that yoga helped manage her anxiety. By age 15 Zoe knew that she wanted yoga and holistic healing to be a pillar of her life going forward. Through the continual development of her practice and deeper understanding of yoga theory, Zoe drifted away from hot power yoga and was drawn towards traditional yoga. Zoe is now a licensed acupuncturist and has been teaching yoga for over six years. She is the sole owner of the acupuncture and yoga studio, Ananda Natural Medicine in Edina, MN.

Listening to your body This month on the podcast we are talking about how to listen to your body. This is one of my favorite topics. I recently just finished reading Yoga for the Emotional Body by Bo Forbes. It validated what I feel is missing in the wellness space the idea of how to listen to your body and if it's truly possible. Listening to your body has been thought of lately as if it's something that cannot be done or that we shouldn't trust what we are feeling. I call BS. We have been told for many years that we don't know best and that others doctors, fitness professionals, yoga teachers, dentists, teachers, etc have the answers and we cannot trust what we discover about ourselves. Now I know all of those have a place in our lives as if you have no idea where to start with a workout program hire a trainer, if you break a bone or need medical advice you can see a doctor, and teachers are amazing but don't hold the answers to everything reminder I was a 6th grade teacher and definitely didn't know all
