  1. Rethinking Heavy Lifting?

    Rethinking Heavy Lifting?

    In this episode, we challenge the popular notion that more weight equals more progress. With nearly two decades of coaching experience, I explore why "lifting heavy every workout" can leave you stiff, sore, and spread thin across the activities you love, things like tennis, yoga, and daily life. I'm sharing a practical, seasonally aware approach to strength that combines science with lived experience, emphasizing blocks, smart loading, and purposeful tapering. If you're tired of burnout and want strength that supports your lifestyle, this episode is for you. And for listeners ready to try it, Seasonal Strength offers a season-tailored 12-week program, with the first week free and a total price of $147.   Seasonal Strength Get your free week here   Where to connect with Andrea Website: https://andreaclaassen.com/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/seasonalandrea 5 Day Stillness Challenge https://andreaclaassen.com/sacred-stillness-challenge Andrea Claassen Bio   Andrea Claassen is an Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor, RYT 500 hour yoga teacher, and personal trainer who has been in the wellness space since 2007.

    Samantha Chandler- Follow the Iron: A Whole New Way to Look at Women's Health

    Have you been told your iron is low and handed a supplement? Before you reach for that pill, this episode might just change everything you thought you knew about iron and your body. Today on the Peaceful Power Podcast, I'm sitting down with Samantha Chandler — also known as Wellness & Womb — a Women's Wellness Coach who is flipping the script on iron and women's health. Samantha coaches women, health providers, and even doctors on iron's movement, and the results she sees with her clients are nothing short of transformative. Here's what might surprise you — low iron in the blood doesn't mean iron is low in your body. And the supplements, prenatals, multivitamins, iron infusions, and fortified foods we've been told to rely on? They may actually be getting in the way of your body's natural wisdom. We also dive deep into something so many of us have been conditioned to believe — that our menstrual cycles are burdens. Samantha flips that narrative completely and shares why our cycles are actually one of our greatest gifts and a key piece of the iron puzzle.   About Samantha Chandler Samantha Chandler, known as Wellness & Womb, is a Women's Wellness Coach specializing in iron's movement. She has worked with 100+ women and also coaches health providers and doctors to help get to the root of the issues women are experiencing in their health. Her approach does not involve iron supplements or iron infusions — and the results speak for themselves.

    Osi Mizrahi: Returning Home: Ayurveda, Hormones & the Sacred Intelligence of the Female Body

    What if your hormones weren't a problem to fix but a language to learn? In this deeply nourishing conversation, I sit down again with Osi Mizrahi, founder of OSI Oils, Ayurvedic educator, medical intuitive, and guide for women returning home to themselves. This episode is one of those rare conversations that doesn't just inform it lands somewhere in the body. We explore how Ayurveda approaches women's hormones with nuance, reverence, and deep respect for cyclical wisdom. Osi offers a perspective that challenges the modern impulse to override, optimize, or suppress what the body is trying to communicate and instead invites women into a relationship with their own inner authority.

    Brett Aldrich: Ayurveda for Late Winter/Spring during uncertain times

    In this episode, Andrea is joined by Brett Aldrich for a timely and nourishing conversation about caring for ourselves as we move from late winter into early spring—both physically and emotionally. Together, they explore Ayurvedic wisdom for this seasonal threshold, a time when heaviness lingers in the body while the urge to move, cleanse, and begin again quietly emerges. This is a season that asks for patience, gentleness, and steady rhythms rather than drastic change. The conversation also gently acknowledges the current political and cultural climate—the tension, fatigue, and distraction many are feeling—and offers grounding perspectives on how to stay focused, embodied, and rooted in what we can control during uncertain and emotionally charged times. This episode is an invitation to tend your nervous system, simplify your practices, and come back to what truly sustains you. In this episode, we discuss: Ayurvedic guidance for late winter and early spring (Kapha season) How to support digestion, energy, and mood during seasonal transition Gentle movement, nourishment, and daily rhythms for this time of year The impact of the political climate on the nervous system Practices for staying grounded, focused, and regulated when the world feels heavy Why simplicity and consistency matter more than perfection right now   Connect with Brett https://seedthespirit.com/     Where to connect with Andrea   Website: https://andreaclaassen.com/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/seasonalandrea Perimenopause Support Quiz: https://quiz.tryinteract.com/#/681d3069f79fde0015c88d8c 8 Week Perimenopause Reset https://andreaclaassen.com/8-week-perimenopause-program 5 Day Stillness Challenge https://andreaclaassen.com/sacred-stillness-challenge     Andrea Claassen Bio   Andrea Claassen is an Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor, RYT 500 hour yoga teacher, and personal trainer who has been in the wellness space since 2007.

    Returning to the Forest: My Octopus Teacher Yoga, and the Art of Noticing

    I just watched My Octopus Teacher on Netflix, yes I'm a little late to the party as it came out in 2020 has won several awards and it's easy to see why. It's beautifully filmed, and deeply moving. You might need Kleenex.   It follows a man who keeps returning to the same kelp forest, and the more he revisits, the more he discovers about life, patience, and connection.   That same pattern shows up in my yoga practice: you notice the subtle shifts, the energy changes with each pose, and the way certain mantras and vayus shape your day after practice.     Where to connect with Andrea Website: https://andreaclaassen.com/   Instagram: https://instagram.com/seasonalandrea   5 Day Stillness Challenge https://andreaclaassen.com/sacred-stillness-challenge   My Services   April 12th: Divine Body Wisdom Retreat Join me at Camp Sacajawea in Apple Valley for this day of yoga, Ayurveda, forest bathing, flower essence crafting and a day to rest and relax.        Andrea Claassen Bio   Andrea Claassen is an Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor, RYT 500 hour yoga teacher, and personal trainer who has been in the wellness space since 2007.

    Dr. Jamie Knopman on Owning Your Fertility: Perimenopause, Hormones & Informed Choice

    Fertility conversations are often framed in extremes urgency or avoidance, hope or fear, "do everything now" or "don't worry about it yet." But what if there was a more grounded, human-centered way to approach fertility especially in your late 30s and 40s? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Jaime Knopman, known as the "Queen of Egg Freezing" and author of the forthcoming book Own Your Fertility. Together, we explore what women are rarely told about fertility, hormones, and perimenopause including why this phase is so often overlooked in reproductive medicine, how stress and burnout affect reproductive health, and how to make fertility decisions from a place of clarity rather than fear. This conversation is for any woman who has ever felt behind, confused, or pressured around her fertility timeline and is ready for reassurance, truth, and agency instead.   Contact Website: https://drjaimeknopman.com/ Instagram: @drjaimeknopman   Book: New Book: Own Your Fertility: From Egg Freezing to Surrogacy, How to Take Charge of Your Body & Your Future     Where to connect with Andrea Website: https://andreaclaassen.com/   Instagram: https://instagram.com/seasonalandrea   Perimenopause Support Quiz: https://quiz.tryinteract.com/#/681d3069f79fde0015c88d8c 5 Day Stillness Challenge https://andreaclaassen.com/sacred-stillness-challenge     Andrea Claassen Bio   Andrea Claassen is an Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor, RYT 500 hour yoga teacher, and personal trainer who has been in the wellness space since 2007.
