Yoga, Ayurveda & Somatic Wisdom for Modern Life

health, fitness, alternative · EN-US

Are you someone with a full life who has genuinely tried a lot - different practices, different approaches, different ways of feeling better - and still find yourself wondering why something isn't quite landing? Or maybe you're a yoga practitioner or teacher who loves the mat, and is starting to sense there's a deeper layer waiting: in Ayurveda, in nervous system work, in understanding what's actually happening underneath the poses? This podcast lives at that intersection. I'm Maxi Meissner - yoga teacher, Ayurveda counselor, nervous system coach, and PhD in medical sciences. My work draws on 20+ years of Ashtanga yoga and Ayurveda practice, Somatic Experiencing training, and years of biomedical research. What fascinates me - and what this podcast is really about - is that ancient Vedic wisdom and modern nervous system science are often describing the same thing. Just in different language. And when you start to understand both, something clicks.</
