Teacher Interview :: Dr. Saraswati

blog post saraswati markus master teacher interview jennifer raye

You may know I have many passions that I integrate into my work and life. Combining the ancient practices of yoga, breathwork, and meditation with an understanding of health and imbalance based on Chinese Medicine creates a powerful system of healing.

In today’s interview, I speak with Dr.Saraswati, who’s also interested in combining these systems for powerful healing potential.

Dr.Saraswati works primarily with women, and we get into some interesting areas of discussion. We discuss some excellent practices for women who are experiencing menopausal changes and practices for women of all ages who want to keep their hormonal health at its optimum. We even chat a bit about yoga for fertility. And if you’re a teacher, we discuss some great practices you can use in your classes.

I hope you enjoy!

Please leave us a comment in the box below the video. I would love to hear from you. Tell me — is there a practice you’ve found that helps you come into balance when you’re feeling out of sorts?
