Much has been written in the last decade about diet and depression. This connection seems obvious to anyone who has ever radically shifted their diet and experienced a whole new way of being. Often in cleanse courses I teach many people awaken to the same realization - when they simply cleanse or liquid fast for a few days they awaken to their inherent inner joy. Better than dark chocolate. No really. This connection is the basis...

Having an understanding of constitutional (prakruti) tendencies can greatly improve your ability to connect with your students. If we don't understand constitution often we just project our experience of yoga onto our students. For example, if you're strongly driven and have pitta tendencies and you notice one of your students continually seem distracted and can't link instructions within their own body, you might feel disconnected from them.

In a typical diet we restrict ourselves with certain foods for a few reasons: (1) to change our body and body image (2) to lose weight (3) to improve health (avoid heart attacks,...

I first started offering cleanse course in a reactionary response to the high expense of traditional ayurvedic detoxification methods. They aren't expensive in India due to the vestiges of the ancient caste system coupled with a population explosion that renders labor cheap. Traditional ayurvedic cleansing from India (aka Pancha Karma) may last 30 days and involve a few care-givers (massage therapists) rubbing various herbs, oils, and other substances into your skin, applying heat, leeches or...

Enlightened Health Care As Americans, we’re aware how our health care system may not serve our evolving exploration of wellness. From my perspective two of the biggest shifts from conventional medicine and conventional holistic medicine into enlightened health care are: 1.         Taking a family-based approach as opposed to an individual-based approach 2.      Education as opposed to treatment You have probably shifted this in your life to some degree already. I’m inviting you to incorporate the shift your...
