Ayurveda for summer with Dr. Mary Jo Cravatta
The saying, “you don’t know what you don’t know” is proven again and again as people suffer unnecessary from bodily discomfort. My intention in scheduling this conversation with Yogahealer Real Life Show recurring guest, Dr. Mary Jo Cravatta, was to have her lay it on the line for you all.
You see, Dr. Mary Jo Cravatta is a real deal vaidya. She happens to be a 63 year old woman of Italian-American descent living on her ranch in California. She is one of the most brilliant subtle body teachers available today. Luckily, she really likes coming on the podcast.
