Peaceful Power Podcast

One of the most common fitness goals I hear from the women I work with is weight loss. We have so much information out there now on how to lose weight that it can be overwhelming and we get stuck in not knowing what to do to get results. Over the last few years I’ve been incorporating Ayurveda into my clients routines through simple habit shifts that have made such a difference in their lives. What is Ayurveda? It is an ancient system that is over 5000 years old that originated in India. Ayurveda literally translates to the wisdom or science of life. I want to share with you some of the ancient wisdom that I’ve seen really help my clients finally lose the weight by connecting back to their bodies natural rhythms.

Keeping movements light, fun and airy. On your walks add in squats, walking lunges, pushups, step-ups onto a bench play outside. Go swimming, do a light yoga sequence, go for a bike ride. After you brush your teeth do 20 squats, hold a plank to start your day. Before you turn on tv, podcast or open Instagram perform 20 squats & 20 pushups. Make it fun, and incorporate your workout routines into your day. Don't be so rigid about needing it to look like 20 minutes in a row of a circuit or routine play with it.

How is your day going? Like attracts like and opposites balance according to Ayurveda. An example if you are a fiery personality, eating spicy hot foods, and finishing with a glass of wine at night you will be one hot person. To find the balance in your life you would do cooling foods, cooling exercise, cooling and calm exercises. That is balance according to Ayurveda.

This was not my intended topic today but after spending just 24 hours alone in my house which I haven't done in over 3 years for more than a few hours I needed to share insights into what I learned. My hubby and son & dogs went with my in-laws to a cabin they rent every 4th of July. This was the first year I didn't go as most of my clients were in town and I'm working on the Holistic Fitness Almanac for 2020 so have not had this long of time to set aside for work hours. My son is 3.5 years old doesn't go to daycare or have a nanny. So my time to work on side projects to my business is slim. I needed to take advantage of this time.

There are two times a year Ayurveda really invites you into a detox for not only your body but your mind. One of those times are the spring season the other being the fall. I personally love to engage in a detox whether that be just social media or a diet full of kitchari. I will break down what you need to know about the spring detox this month and report on how mine went this Spring season. Don't worry it's not too late to enjoy a detox of your own. April is a perfect month to schedule in 3-7 days. The detox I go over is a simple one there are way more intense detoxes that if you want to try make sure you have the care of an Ayurvedic practitioner to guide you in the right direction.
