    Like talking to a wise friend
    I love this podcast as a break from my normal news and politics pod diet! It’s like talking to a wise friend. It sounds a bit strange to say, but it’s nourishing audio for your body and soul.

    Practical Guidance
    I love Angela’s podcast! She explains Ayurveda in a way that helps you apply the science in your everyday life. Being a mom myself it sometimes feels that living in alignment with nature and taking care of myself is not attainable, but then I listen to Angela and I am over come with a feeling of confidence. Hearing her real life experiences and advice is so practical!
  • SarahSindo
    A relatable, down-to-earth lovely human being!
    I can’t remember how I first heard about Angela and Simple Ayurveda, but she’s become a staple for me on my Ayurvedic path. I love her podcast! She speaks as if she’s sitting in her living room with you - so relatable and friendly. I appreciate when people are open and share about their own struggles and how they’ve learned and are continuing to learn from them. Angela shares this with us. With Ayurveda, it can sometimes feel unachievable, like you have to do all the things correctly. But Simple Ayurveda is here to show and guide us that it can be simple and doable.
  • KaviReview
    ♥️♥️

  • 💛KJ💛
    So relatable
    I am so grateful I was guided to this podcast. The way Angela incorporates Ayurveda into her lifestyle has given me hope. She really emphasizes finding what works for you and your family and dissolves the rigidity of following all the rules. I love that she has the transcript available to return to if there is a product mentioned or a technique referenced. Thank you, very eager to listen to the next one. ~ KJ

    Listener for over two years
    There are many things to enjoy about the podcast. As host, Angela has an intelligent and thoughtful approach, but she makes a solid effort to keep her points clear and digestible. I have enjoyed so many guests, and I use the knowledge I gain in my personal yoga practice as well as in my teaching.

    New Listener
    Somewhat new listener but I am already loving how traditional Ayurvedic ideas are explained and made relatable to modern life - I look forward to learning more!
  • Yoga1111
    So Useful!
    I love this podcast, because, as the title suggests, the content is refreshingly simple and free of the self-promotion and pretense inherent in so many wellness podcasts. Angela gets right to the heart of the topic, and also shares examples (from triumphs to stumbles) from her own life with inspiring honesty. I always come away from each episode with several useful tips to enhance my daily routine and my overall sense of well-being. Another bonus: it’s a commercial-free podcast, which really speaks to her authenticity and the purity of intent for her podcast. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
  • tambob96

  • seewade
    So thankful to have you back!
    Angela walks the walk. She recently took some much needed time for herself teaching us all to do the same as we need to. She came back to share all her newly found wisdom and we will all be better for it!

    Authentic and informative
    This podcast has played such an integral role in my own journey into the world of Ayurveda. I love the way Angela gives examples of how she’s using this ancient science in ways that is relevant and helpful in modern day. She also introduced me to the practice of Yoga Nidra which has become a live saver over the last 4 years ( i have 2 kids under 3🤪). Thank you Angela for showing up in your authenticity and sharing all of your wisdom with us!
  • Rainwater Mclean
    Love the Realness
    This show is great at times over stimulating sometimes but wonderful. Episode 227 is so worth a listen. I was actually listening to this for my relationship with my daughter and family members and I just love how honesty trumps anything else, so real esp when she speaks on the relationship between her and the deities in the Gita. So real and so wonderful.
  • SDLTX

  • hlpoole_82
    Loving this comprehensive, educational podcast
    This podcast has already taught me an enormous amount about of ayurveda, which is a recent passion of mine, and I am not even a third of the way through the episodes. Angela’s descriptions are completely accessible and make perfect sense, even to someone like me who just has the most basic understanding of the concept, but is craving more and more. I love all the advice about how to eat out and have fun and not be too austere and perfectionist. Every episode is more enjoyable than the last.
  • Shakti VH

  • SunflowerSerpent
    Amazing Approachable Ayurveda!
    I am a beginner in my Ayurveda journey. I have attempted to listen to many Ayurveda related podcasts but none have been able to meet me where I am at quite like the Simple Ayurveda podcast. Angela and her guests truly do make it simple! Angela does a great job at anchoring this ancient knowledge in a fluid and relatable way. Great for beginner and advanced practitioners alike! So much valuable information shared with beautiful authenticity.
  • Kacee H.
    INSPIRATIONAL!
    I love listening to the Simple Ayurveda podcast! I have an interest in Ayurveda because I’ve been doing yoga and meditating off and on for years and wanted to learn more and tie everything together. Listening weekly has had me so inspired to try Ayurveda in my life if only in small ways. I have gone from incorporating more meditation to learning about the miracle of ghee, doshas and then trying my hand at kitchari, dry brushing and tongue scraping and oil pulling. These small changes have made a noticeable impact on my life and I am always ready to learn more. Angela has a way of teaching the topic that is non judgemental, relatable and easy to understand that you want to deepen your understanding. She also has some great guest speakers. Keep up the good work!
  • Angela.B.
