In the latest episode of the Health with Heart podcast, Dr Skye chats to yoga teacher, folk herbalist, non-dual dharma practitioner, and contemplative psychotherapist (in training) Michelle van Straaten.
Together, they explore everything from leveraging the tools of yoga and the dharma traditions to build resilience; instilling lifelong habits for balance; plant healing; tribal wisdom; the preciousness of this human life; and much more.
Michelle trains yoga teachers and runs retreats and mentorship programmes in South Africa and Europe. She is passionate about helping her clients to implement lasting change into their lives.
In her youth, Michelle’s love for plants and plant healing led her to the Amazon Basin, where she immersed herself in local tribal knowledge, plant medicine, and the cosmologies of healing. Her own deep personal work here inspired her life’s work, which weaves together plants, people, and spirituality to cultivate an environment of peace and growth.
Michelle’s purpose and passion is to help all beings to benefit from her learnings, and in this session she shares some insights into the daily practices that can inspire and enlighten your own life every day.
