    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.

    I will take my weights and yoga seperate, please

    In today's wellness culture, everything is about efficiency combining workouts, stacking habits, and optimizing every minute of the day. Strength training blended with yoga. Meditation layered into movement. Rest squeezed in wherever possible. But what if that constant blending is part of the problem? In this solo episode of the Peaceful Power Podcast, I share why I choose to keep my strength training and yoga practices separate and why that choice feels deeply supportive, especially for women navigating midlife, burnout, postpartum recovery, or perimenopause. This conversation is an invitation to step away from biohacking culture and return to integrity-based practices where strength is allowed to be strength, and stillness is allowed to be still.

    The Basics are Enough Right Now

    In this episode, Andrea reflects on a tiredness she's sensing in the collective one that sits deep in the body, the nervous system, and the heart. Rather than rushing to fix, reframe, or push through it, this conversation is an invitation to pause and remember: the basics are enough right now. This is a gentle reminder that we don't need more optimization, more effort, or more self-improvement to be okay. Sometimes what truly supports us—especially in seasons of stress, uncertainty, or transition is returning to the simplest practices that help us stay. Andrea weaves together reflections from teaching yoga, living through the current moment, and supporting women navigating burnout and midlife transitions. This episode is especially for anyone feeling overwhelmed, worn down, or quietly holding a lot. In this episode, we explore: The "tiredness in the air" and how it shows up in the body Why slowing down is not avoidance, but wisdom What it means to stay with what's here instead of rushing past it Simple ways to support your nervous system when energy is low A reminder that rest, breath, and presence are powerful medicine You don't need to do more to be worthy of care. You don't need to push to be resilient. You are allowed to stay with the basics and let that be enough.   Where to connect with Andrea Website: https://andreaclaassen.com/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/seasonalandrea   Freebies Perimenopause Support Quiz: https://quiz.tryinteract.com/#/681d3069f79fde0015c88d8c 5 Day Stillness Challenge https://andreaclaassen.com/sacred-stillness-challenge     Paid Workshop Perimenopause Power Hour: https://andreaclaassen.com/perimenopause-power-hour     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.

    When Choice Feels Uncomfortable: Yoga, Autonomy & Learning to Trust Yourself Again

    What happens when choice feels harder than being told what to do? In this reflective solo episode, Andrea Claassen yoga teacher of 19 years shares a moment from a recent yoga class that opened a deeper conversation about autonomy, embodiment, and why so many of us feel uneasy when invited to listen to our own bodies. A student's comment about "too much jargon" revealed something more profound: a discomfort with choice itself. Andrea explores how modern yoga, fitness, and wellness often prioritize compliance over self-trust—and why that approach stops working, especially in perimenopause and midlife. This episode is for women who are tired of rigid rules, one-size-fits-all programs, and constantly outsourcing their inner knowing. It's an invitation to slow down, tune in, and reclaim yoga as a practice of discernment not obedience.     Connect with me: 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
