Ep. 141 The Breath of Deep Grounding

Spirit Sessions-YouTube-2021

In this episode, Katie shares a breathwork practice that she does consistently for grounding. When we speak of breath work or prana, we aren't only talking about bringing air into our body, oxygen, carbon dioxide, although of course those physical things are important, but we can also think of breathwork as a way of training ourselves to be able to tune to the inner. To be able to humble our intellect to life energy, your animal nature, your primal nature, and perhaps most importantly, the realm of the subtle. Tune in and ground yourself with this 15 minute guided practice.

In this episode you’ll hear: 

~ How breathwork can help us tune into the subtle

~ 15 minute guided grounding breathwork practice with music

~ Want to learn more about meditation and breathwork? Level 1 Ayurveda School covers these topics and incorporates practices, as well as techniques you can learn to teach others. Get in now before spots fill up!

Ep. 140 Are Your Leggings Making You Sick?

Spirit Sessions-YouTube-2021

In this episode, Katie shares a shocking new article and scientific studies about how some of the largest workout retailers are using harmful chemicals in their workout apparel. That’s right, our beloved leggings may be contributing to deleterious health consequences, especially for women. Tune in to get the scoop, plus learn about alternative options that are chemical-free.

In this episode you’ll hear: 

~ Leggings are a staple wardrobe item and deeply loved by most women - but could they be toxic?

~ A recent Watchdog report shows testing reports that BPA, the chemical used to make plastic, among other yucky chemicals, is a component in a ton of our workout gear

~ BPA has been directly linked to health dangers like asthma, cardiovascular disease, obesity and more

~ Much of our leggings and workout gear also contain PFAs, which are also known as “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down, meaning they also accumulate over time in the environment and in our bodies

~ PFAs are hormone disrupting chemicals and linked to infertility, miscarriage, metabolic diseases and reduced vaccination response among many other things

~ A recent CNN article exposed some of the biggest brands that are using these chemicals in their products

~ The studies on yoga leggings mentioned by Mamavation can be found here

~ Katie’s Leggings Recommendations:

There are two brands that I found to have a “no chemical commitment.” In the spirit of transparency, I signed up for an affiliate with them because this project took hours of my valuable time and I believe in an equal energy exchange. Feel free to do your own research on products, but in my opinion, these two companies really stood out for their commitment to chemical-free and women’s health.

  1. Pact Apparel 
  2. Mate the label

~ A RADICAL LIFE CHANGE IS WAITING FOR YOU! Level 1 Ayurveda School Starts January 18, 2023! Here’s your chance to launch your Ayurvedic path with our one-of-a-kind course. If you've ever considered diving deep into this healing tradition, whether for yourself or as a career path, this is your chance to jump-start that change and get the support you need.
