Blending Ayurvedic Science and the Teachings of Yoga to live a life of purpose with Sophie Malahieude

In this episode I sit down with Sophie Malahieude a Ayurveda
Wellness consultant and Yoga Teacher.  Sophie began her
journey 22 years ago where she learned the principles of Yoga and
the sister science of Ayurveda.   The combination of Yoga
and Ayurveda deeply resonated with Sophie in her personal life as
well as in her classes, teacher trainings, seminars and private
sessions.


Sophie starts this conversation by breaking down her journey into
yoga which began in Germany.   She was introduced to
Yoga and felt a returning home.  She quickly realized her
desire to want to share and teach yoga.  She began her
teaching career 12 years ago when she moved to the United
States.  Sophie describes her journey through Ayurveda and
how she incorporates the practices into her classes to reach all
students.  


We dive into the importance of having balance in the practice and
using the body composition to understand what poses are most
beneficial.  Sophie explains how she uses Ayurveda to
provide variations for students so that everyone can have a
unique experience.  She also highlights how she notices
imbalances in students and the graceful way in which she offers
support. 


We move into the challenges of being a yoga teacher and how to
financial diversify yourself for success.   We also discuss
the importance of being able to pivot and change directions so
that you are continuing to be adaptable.   Sophie highlights
the importance of identifying your market as a teacher to attract
the clients that resonate most with you.  


We conclude this conversation with Sophie highlighting how the
practice of yoga is not only on the mat but in how you show up
for your life and the reason for wanting to share the practice
has to be so much more than the money.  Sophie leaves
listeners with her simple yet powerful wisdom to always take what
you need and leave what you don’t as a student and as a
teacher.
