The habits of yogis are based on biohacking. The yogis needed mental clarity for spiritual attainment. To achieve this mental clarity, they found out that optimizing how their bodies functioned was key. All systems needed some upgrading, from the most mundane like taking a great poop in the early morning to deep-tissue hydration and lubrication, to refined nutrient absorption and tissue formation, to sound rest and cellular repair.

A few days ago, I had a paddle boarding date with my husband. Any day we’re in Mexico and have swell, we have these dates. One of the advantages of surfing on a paddleboard is that you get to stand and talk between waves, and standing is better for conversation. Winston has been with me since before my Ayurveda and Yoga training. To say that he learned Ayurveda through me is an understatement. The man has lived in a sea of Ayurveda and Yoga for the past two decades. As...

5 Steps to Your Reset

March 26, 2016 - Posted in Blog, Body Thrive, Body Wisdom - 0 Comments

A Reset mode is a lovely time out. Often we wait until we’re sick to take time out of life. This sets up a pattern that feeds the disease process. Instead, we can train ourselves to crave a seasonal time out. When we take time out twice a year to slow down, to rejuvenate, to heal, to reset, we give ourselves a chance to update our habits in line with who we want to be now. And, we update our habits in line with who we want to become. ...

To steep implies a chemical reaction that has to do with change over time. The strength comes with time. "A culture" Fermented foods are also called “cultured foods”. And a culture? A culture is a living entity in itself. A culture grows stronger with time. Habits are cultures. We are literally, physically culturing ourselves with our habits. Our habits are the culture we steep ourselves in. And,...

As we end this year and start a new one, I knew the way I could be of most use to you is to tell you what I've learned about habits. Habits - which are the un-sexy, un-scintillating backbone of their most illustrious comrade: goals. If you set goals in 2015 you didn't reach, it's most likely because you didn't set the habits to reach them. Habits are the backbone of goals. Habits are built through repetition. Many of you know the word in sanskrit for intentional repetition: abhyasa. Abhyasa is made famous...
