Getting Real with Ayurveda with Ellen Leonard -

Have you ever learned something about yoga or Ayurveda and thought, “that’s weird!”, or “no way I would try that”?

Ellen shares in the most honest and revealing way how understanding Ayurveda allows her to “cheat” her way through trips to Italy and make Ayurvedic hacks in her life so that she can still enjoy the things she loves (within reason 😉 ).

“Hi, I’m human, I make bad choices too sometimes.” -Ellen

What can turn many people off from incorporating new habits into their daily schedule is the resistance to change. As an Ayurvedic Practitioner and stress management consultant, Ellen knows how to present Ayurveda in a way that her clients will want to make changes on their own and stick with them.

permission to pick and choose what supports you in your daily routine
why “shoulds” will never evolve into lasting changes
how to make behavioural changes that actually last
