Why Spring Is the Most Powerful Time to Start Getting Strong (And What Ayurveda Says About It) show art Why Spring Is the Most Powerful Time to Start Getting Strong (And What Ayurveda Says About It)

Peaceful Power Podcast

The last few weeks I've taught a one day retreat and an Ayurvedic spring workshop. The theme I really tried to nail down for both groups. Gunas or qualities of the season. Noticing what is happening outside the body is happening within. If you understand the gunas it makes Ayurveda much easier to understand why we make the decisions to avoid salads in the winter, avoid overly heavy foods in the spring, or have hot tea in the summer months. Today I break down the gunas of the spring season.    Where to connect with Andrea Website: Instagram: 5 Day Stillness Challenge Seasonal...

If you’re tired of burnout and want strength that supports your lifestyle, this episode is for you. And for listeners ready to...

In this episode Andrea breaks down the five Vayus, the subtle movements of Prana or life force energy that are happening inside your body right now whether you know it or not. These are the most accessible and digestible entry point into Ayurveda she has found and after two years of teaching them she is sharing everything in...

Peaceful Power Podcast

In this episode, Andrea is joined by Brett Aldrich for a timely and nourishing conversation about caring for ourselves as we move from late winter into early spring—both physically and emotionally. Together, they explore Ayurvedic wisdom for this seasonal threshold, a time when heaviness lingers in the body while the urge to move, cleanse, and begin again quietly emerges. This is a season that asks for patience, gentleness, and steady rhythms rather than drastic change. The conversation also gently acknowledges the current political and cultural climate—the tension, fatigue, and...

Peaceful Power Podcast

I just watched My Octopus Teacher on Netflix, yes I’m a little late to the party as it came out in 2020 has won several awards and it’s easy to see why. It’s beautifully filmed, and deeply moving.
