Finding Balance in Life + Business Using Ayurveda with Heather Burkart

Heather Burkart is an Ayurvedic practitioner and yoga teacher focused on helping women heal and find balance through the various seasons of life. In this interview, we talk about one of my favorite topics - Ayurveda- and how it can help you find balance with the seasons and natural rhythms of your body. Heather is especially focused on Menstrual Health and has created an array of online courses, group programs, as well as 1-on-1 services to support women on their wellness journey. 

Ayurveda is the sister-science of Yoga, and is a really comprehensive system that looks at each person individually, based on their unique constitution (Doshas). It offers us advice for lifestyle, diet, meditation, yoga practices, other habits and more. 

The first step to understanding and practicing Ayurveda, is to know your predominant Dosha(s), which each correlate to different natural elements. We also discuss how the doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha can be applied to our Business Cycles, and offer us wisdom around finding balance in our work, throughout various seasons. 

Heather has great advice for:

-Incorporating Ayurveda into your Yoga practice, customizing it depending on your Dosha

-Eating and exercising for various seasons (ex: Summer = fiery Pitta season!) 

-Tapping into the Intuition of your body to guide you towards balance 

-The best time of year for launching offers and other business phases

-How to get un-stuck in your business using the Ayurvedic Doshas

-How Vedic Astrology is related to Ayurveda, and what the cycles of the moon + planets tell us about our own wellness

And much more! 

I also share a bit about my recent 3 week stay at an Ayurvedic facility in India and what has transformed for me since then.
