Today’s guest, Sahara Rose, is on a mission to raise consciousness and help people be their highest selves. As an author, podcaster, and Ayurvedic practitioner, Sahara brings ancient healing wisdom to the modern world, making it relatable, attainable, and practical for today. She healed her own health issues by applying Ayurvedic principles with her modernized twist to her own life, and now she is sharing what she has learned with the world.
IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT:
Sahara’s upbringing, where she was asthmatic, overweight, and unhealthy; always trying to escape her body. And how taking a hot yoga class in middle school showed Sahara what it felt like to be fully connected to her body. Her passion for social justice and human rights, and how that transformed into her passion for helping people in a different capacity—through health and wellness. How she came upon Ayurveda while she was living in Delhi, India, teaching health and sanitation (and how it took her trial and error of every other diet before she gave Ayurvedic eating principles a try). What readers can expect from her upcoming cookbook, Eat Feel Fresh. Why it is important to really tune in and listen to what your body wants/needs How health is only ⅕ food in Ayurveda, and what the other components of health are What a dosha is, an explanation of the three doshas, and their light and shadow sides The doshas of Donald Trump and Barack Obama Why it is important to know your doshic state How to figure out what your current doshic state is, and how to use that information to increase your light! Plus so much more...
