Mindful Living - The Yoga of Everyday Choices & Nourishment Beyond Food
What if wellness isn’t just about what’s on your plate, but about how you live, breathe, and connect each day?
In this episode of Let’s Talk Wellness with Shal, I draw parallels between my teachings as a Yoga instructor and an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, exploring how yoga philosophy and holistic nutrition both guide us toward balance, awareness, and nourishment beyond food.
Inspired by the principles of Patanjali’s yoga sutras and IIN’s concept of Primary and Secondary Foods, this conversation is an invitation to live your yoga off the mat, through intention, mindful eating, self-study, and compassion in action.
In this episode, you’ll explore:
✨ Morning rituals rooted in Sankalpa — intention and self-connection
🌸 Mindful eating through Ahimsa (non-harm) and gratitude
🌿 Listening to your body with Svadhyaya (self-study) and bio-individuality
💫 Replacing harsh inner dialogue with truth (Satya) and self-compassion
🌙 Evening reflection inspired by Pratyahara, turning inward
Every choice, every pause, every breath becomes a form of yoga — and a moment of nourishment for your mind, body, and spirit.
This episode is for anyone seeking a more mindful, balanced, and intentional approach to wellness, rooted in awareness, not perfection.
