I had the recent joy of sitting down, virtually of course, with a dear friend that I met during my 2-year long Ayurveda training program.
Andrea is an Ayurvedic wellness counselor, yoga teacher and personal trainer, plus a wife, and mama to an active 4 year old boy. Her energy is so genuine, and we could have talked for hours!
Here's a bit of what we talked about:
TOPICS
What yoga has taught Grace throughout her lifetime
Yoga and the doshas she breaks each one down and what practice could be best for you
What advice she has for new and old yogis alike
From a scientist perspective how Ayurveda and yoga blend together
VATA DOSHA YOGA PRACTICE
Deep Stretches
Forward Folds
Yoga nidra and savasana
PITTA DOSHA YOGA PRACTICE

Dance party in the middle of session
