In this podcast, Hannah Levin discusses her mission to alleviate unnecessary suffering through Ayurveda and yoga, drawing from her personal health crisis with high-grade cervical dysplasia. She explains how Western medicine offered surgery as the only option, but discovering Ayurveda helped her heal and inspired her to guide others toward conscious, health-supportive choices.

She delves into Ayurvedic principles, including the doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), and how they influence health, emotions, and daily habits. Through her coaching, she helps people cultivate awareness, implement gradual habit changes, and make sustainable lifestyle shifts aligned with their unique constitutions. The conversation also explores the role of community, meditation, and intentional living in fostering well-being, ultimately advocating for a compassionate, balanced approach to personal growth and healing. -- Hannah Elizabeth Levin is the founder of Heartfelt Wellbeing LLC. She is an Ayurveda Practitioner, yoga teacher, and artist who also holds a masters degree in teaching.
