design your own health…
“…When you don’t act on what you’ve learned, you turn your direction toward suffering. Suffering ages us. You’ll be grumpy, anxious, tired, stiff, or fat instead of more fluid, graceful, fun and sparky. Your reality in body, mind, and spirit is a reflection of your habits. Your choices heal or undermine you.” - Cate Stillman, Body Thrive.
In this book club:
I want you to start to experience the benefits of good habits that will energize and heal your whole self.
Learn two habits per bi-weekly basis.
Practice 1 habit each week, focus on just one.
This is not an all-or-nothing learning experience. We are working on changing lifelong habits to new ones. Iit takes time to integrate them successfully.
Small steps, big support and is backed by your host, Brenda Kyle with education in Ayurveda health and teaching Body Thrive professionally.
Ayurveda is the wisdom of longevity. It is balancing health, based on mind, body and spirit. We learn to listen to our bodies, mind/emotions and sync up with the rhythm of life, the seasons and our surrounding ecosystems. You do not have to be a vegan (vegetarian).
