IGNITE YOUR DREAM
Sarah Kucera on Ayurveda + the Power of Rituals
Do you have a fire burning within? Well, most likely you are a Pitta according to Ayurveda healers. Not sure what that means? Listen to find out!
Today’s guest, Sarah Kucera, DC, CAP, has been championing healthy practices professionally for over a decade, and personally for her whole life. A licensed chiropractor, certified Ayurvedic practitioner, registered yoga teacher and yoga therapist, and entrepreneur, she is the founder of Sage, a healing arts center and herbal apothecary in Kansas City, Missouri, where she combines these methods to help others find well-being.
In this episode, Sarah and I talk deeply about holistic health + healing. Ayurveda is a traditional Hindu system of medicine and one of the world’s oldest holistic healing systems.
Sarah realizes the people who are the healthiest may not necessarily be eating right + exercising all the time; the healthiest people are ones with a consistent lifestyle.
Plus, we learn how to bring more meaning into our lives each day through rituals based on our dosha and Sarah explains how nature is continuously intertwining with our menstrual cycles.
