194 External Transition/Inner Transformation with Joe Rich and Victor Briere A.D.

Today we welcome back two friends of The Athena Wellness Podcast from the early days and get a real-time glimpse into how an external life transition can spur inner transformation.

Kathy is joined by Victor Briere and Joe Rich, the cofounders of the International Institute of Ayurveda.

We first met Victor, who is an Ayurvedic doctor, in Episodes 39 and 40, when he provided an overview of the Ayurveda healing arts and the importance of living in balance.  And we met Joe, who is a long-time practitioner and teacher of Kundalini yoga, in Episodes 57 and 58 when we talked about the link between Ayurveda and yoga.  Victor and Joe joined us again in Episodes 93 and 94 when we got into the realm of authentic living and why there’s no magic pill when it comes to our health.

But it’s been 18 months and 100 podcast episodes since that last conversation.  In that time, the International Institute of Ayurveda relocated from northern California to Tuscany, Italy and expanded its operations to Goa, India.

As always, we cover a range of topics that include:

• Using life transition as an opportunity for transformation;

• How this listen to your inner voice in spite of the fear it may surface;

• Trusting your life journey;

• An Ayurvedic view of the diabetes and obesity epidemic; and

• The role joy has living with robust health and vitality.
