• Wellness Lab 1: How to Move, Eat & Rest in Harmony with Winter (2025)
    Nov 12 2025

    Drawing from Ayurvedic wisdom and yoga philosophy, we guide you through the art of preparing for winter — from warming morning routines and mindful movement to seasonal foods that strengthen your digestion (Agni) and protect your energy through the holidays.

    You’ll learn how to:

    • Restore balance to Vata and Kapha doshas during the colder months
    • Build simple daily rituals that keep your nervous system calm and your body resilient

    This episode is a gentle reminder that wellness in winter is not about doing more — it’s about doing less with intention.

    Additional documentation and handouts will be available to all who visit Mahad Yoga Studio for this session.

    Feel free to ask us any yoga or Ayurveda questions!

  • RYT 200 Hours Series: Finding the Right Yoga Teacher Training
    Nov 12 2025

    Thinking about starting your 200-hour yoga teacher training? Before you sign up, take a deep breath and listen to this episode. In this honest and grounded talk, we explore what really goes into choosing the right yoga school, teacher, and training style — from understanding your “why” to researching program structure, costs, accreditation, and the real-world path of teaching yoga.

    You’ll learn what questions to ask before enrolling, what red flags to look out for, and why the most important training begins after graduation. We’ll also talk openly about the practical side — average pay per class, the realities of teaching in studios or parks, insurance, permits, and how to avoid burnout before you even start.

  • Everyday Use Affirmations
    Jul 15 2025

    These affirmations are grounded in safety, love, and self-trust—universal emotional needs we carry daily. So using this practice every morning (or even midday) can serve as:

    • A reset
    • A nervous system softener
    • A reminder of your inner power
    • A tool to regulate stress before it builds up

    Think of it like brushing your emotional teeth: it keeps buildup away so the heavy stuff doesn’t pile up.

    💡 Situational Use:

    In intense or pivotal life moments—like before a job interview, after a breakup, during burnout, or when your anxiety is peaking—this practice becomes a powerful emotional anchor. It reminds you that even in chaos, you're still safe, worthy, and able to begin again.

  • Unspoken Truth Series for Yoga Instructors & Studio Owners Part 1: Content Theft, Competition & the Fight to Stay Authentic
    Jul 6 2025

    Episode 1 of the Unspoken Truth Series – for Yoga Instructors & Studio Owners

    Subscribe to continue listening to the full series and stay connected with our upcoming episodes.

    In this raw and real first episode, we pull back the curtain on a side of the yoga world rarely discussed: the business shadows that come with running a studio or teaching in an oversaturated, high-competition space.

    Join us as we explore:

    • Why the sacred path of yoga becomes murky in a commercial setting
    • Real examples of copycat behavior and the emotional toll it takes
    • How the nervous system responds to betrayal and instability
    • Concrete tools to reclaim your power, integrity, and peace
    • Why talking about the hard stuff is a form of healing, not negativity

    🙏 Stay steady, stay sacred, and stay you.

  • Yoga: How do yoga and Ayurveda approach aging compared to Western culture?
    Jan 25 2025

    Western Perspective

    • Aging is often seen as a decline, with emphasis on anti-aging products and fighting the process.

    Ayurvedic and Yogic Perspective

    • Aging is an opportunity for growth, wisdom, and balance.
    • Ayurveda emphasizes balancing doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) for healthy aging.

    Biological Age vs. Chronological Age

    • Biological age reflects physical and mental vitality, not just years lived.
    • Lifestyle choices, such as yoga and a balanced diet, can influence biological age.

    Closing

    • Aging is a journey of balance, grace, and vitality.
    • Highlighting the benefits of Ashwagandha cream as a transdermal, cooling anti-aging option.
    • Reminder to consult experts before adding new herbal remedies to routines.

    Conclusion: Age is not a number, but a journey shaped by lifestyle and perspective.
