Body Thrive: A Prerequisite to Life!

In this Changemaker Challenge episode, Carly Banks and Carolyn Lang discuss their experiences with Body Thrive. Carly went through her first round of Body Thrive while working two jobs and raising two young children. Six months later, she had lost 35 pounds and was keeping it off. She felt better in her body and was better equipped to handle her day-to-day life. For Carly, the self care she learned in Body Thrive had to come first, before she could even consider starting her own business as a yoga health coach. At the age of 52, Carolyn has worked in farming, banking, retail, and dental assisting. She retired this past February to focus on her health and her dharma. Carolyn gained 20 pounds following a knee surgery. Body Thrive helped her get back to where she was pre-surgery and has eliminated aching and cracking joints, which she had experienced for several years. Carolyn is picking up more and more self care habits with each round of Body Thrive and has found that her body responds well to intermittent fasting. Having solidified her habits and her health in the Living Ayurveda course, Carolyn has her sights set on upleveling her dharma in Yoga Health Coaching.   What you'll get out of tuning in: Why Body Thrive is a prerequisite for finding your dharma. How physical self care leads to easeful living. Why putting off self care until retirement is the WRONG approach.   Links Mentioned in Episode: Body Thrive Yogidetox Yoga Health Coaching Show Highlights: 0:00 - For Carly, the self care she learned in Body Thrive had to come first, before she could even consider starting her own business as a yoga health coach.

You're going to go to work. And you're just going to work and just do it and keep pushing until you reach that moment where you can retire and then you're going to focus on self and then you're going to relax. Well, sometimes before you even get to that point of relaxation, your body runs out of steam because you're pushing too hard. You're not listening to it." --- Carly Banks "My circumstances had not changed whatsoever. But the way I felt inside my body and my ability to function and take on responsibility had amplified tenfold." --- Carly Banks, (post Body Thrive)
