E84| Yoga, Ayurveda & the New Moon

Episode 84 - Yoga, Ayurveda & the New Moon In this 15-minute episode, we explore yoga poses and Ayurvedic rituals to support the new moon time. If you want to drop in deeper to new moon energy, please join us for the July New Moon Gathering for Caregivers [https://jenniferallenyogaandwellness.heymarvelous.com/product/95095] on July 14, 2026 at 6PM MT. Caregiving is one of the most generous acts a human being can offer — and one of the most depleting. Over-doing, over-giving, burnout, and exhaustion are not signs of weakness; they are signs that you have been giving without replenishment. The new moon is a natural pause in the lunar cycle — a threshold of darkness and quiet that invites us inward. This two-hour online gathering is designed especially for women who spend their days caring for and tending to: mothers, grandmothers, teachers, nurses, environmental stewards, and those tending to themselves through chronic conditions. Through gentle organic yoga, restorative movement, guided Yoga Nidra meditation, and reflective journaling, you'll be guided into a state of deep rest that rebalances your nervous system and quietly restores what caregiving asks of you. What to expect: * Grounding breathwork to arrive and settle in * Gentle & restorative yoga  * Guided yoga nidra journey to deeply restore body and mind * Journaling prompts and a new moon pdf guidebook * Community with other women walking a similar path Come exactly as you are. Leave feeling like yourself again. Cost: $22 Supplies needed: yoga mat, pillows, blankets, touchstone, journal & art supplies The New Moon Gathering is included inside the Easeful Yoga Lifestyle Collective(EYLC). The EYLC is a soft landing place for overwhelmed, stressed-out, exhausted woman.

E82| The Art of Distraction: How Letting Go Lets the Magic In

Episode 82 - The art of distraction: how letting go lets the magic in In this 20-minute episode, we explore one of the most counterintuitive yet scientifically supported ideas in modern creativity research — that certain forms of distraction are not the enemy of deep work, but one of its most powerful allies. We will talk about distraction — not as a failure of willpower, not as the enemy of your practice, not as the thing to overcome... but as a doorway. A doorway into the deepest creative, intuitive, and healing parts of yourself. Resources:  • Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being (2023) • Research: Baird et al.
