Ahimsa Choice
Ahimsa Choice
Sabrina Joy
Ahimsa is one of the yoga Yamas and means non-violence towards all beings. The Ahimsa Choice Podcast lives at the intersection of wellness and sustainability. This podcast is made for women who want to live a life that is sustainable for both ourselves and the world around us.  We cover every little detail of how to transition to a more non-violent, sustainable and wholesome life. I approach wellness and sustainability from both a personal and environmental angle, giving you the tools not only to get more out of life for yourself but also save the planet while doing so! My goal is to empower women to find peace through meditation and wellness practices and to lead the change to a slow, environmentally focused lifestyle. I'll chat with the women leading the wellness and sustainability movements from business owners to physicians to provide you with all the tools you need to live your most fulfilling, joyful life without leaving a footprint!

Do you find yourself feeling groggy in the middle of the day? Are you drifting off in meetings or spacing out while staring at the computer screen? If that's the case you may be in need of a nap! In this episode I dive into how science is beginning to show us ways to nap that help us to feel more energized, rather than more tired.

Episode 142: Flexibility vs. Strength - How to Find the Balance
The age-old struggle in fitness is finding the balance between flexibility and strength. For a long time flexibility has been overlooked, but now it's so trendy that folks are stretching beyond what's functional and safe. How do we find a balance? I dive into the merits of either side of the spectrum; flexibility to strength and explore what it looks like when we have both. I touch on controversial subjects like knees-over-toes engagement and hypermobility. Come along on this exploration of flexibility and strength!Want to start building confidence with dance?
