Common Sense Consciousness (feat. Sahara Leigh)

Everything from our food choices to the underwear we select each day can come down to our awareness of our own constitution. Really! This week, Jenn sits down with Sahara Leigh to discuss practical, everyday applications of Ayurveda. We can use these tools to help us identify when we're out of balance, find balance within ourselves and even improve our relationships. Really! Eating ice cream in the bath tub, could be an answer. It is for Sahara. Listen now to understand why!
