THE YOGA HOUR TEAM COMMENTS: Kate O’Donnell makes learning about Ayurveda easy for the beginner and insightful to the experienced practitioner especially as she tackles women's hormones and body seasons.  I really like the way she encourages an "empowered experiential view of the body" to help us understand how to find balance in the body not only through food but also through experiences, emotions and substances. It's never too late to start to bring your body into balance and better health.  This podcast is a great way to do so.

DR. TRUJILLO’S COMMENTS:  Kate O’Donnell imparts her knowledge of Ayurveda in such an accessible way, as she did in her examples of how all five of the elements that Ayurveda recognizes are present in the human body (ether, air, fire, water, and earth). Our discussion touched on how the Ayurvedic view of balance is so important in women’s health, as well as the recognition that we are each microcosms that are affected by what is happening in the wider world around us.  I also appreciated her advice about how not to become overwhelmed by trying to change too many lifestyle practices at the same time.
