Listen "Ayurveda, Joy and Purpose, a Conversation with Karla A. Cain"
Episode Synopsis
Today, I am humbled by the opportunity to speak with Karla Cain, who has been a long time inspiration as well as what I consider to be a mentor for me, in my own Ayurvedic Practice. Her passion, dedication and determination to share the wisdom of Ayurveda as well as Yoga makes her a leader in the field of healing arts.
Karla is Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner, Yoga Instructor and Founder
of Sattvic Sage Ayurveda & Yoga in Phoenix, AZ. As a Chicago native, she maintains a thriving
practice of Āyurveda Consultation, Education, Body Therapeutics, Seasonal
Cleanse Programs, Public/Private Yoga Classes and Holistic Business Advisory,
as well as a Yoga Teacher Certification Training Program in both cities.
She previously led a 23+ year career within the Securities Exchange
Commission (SEC) Financial Industry, employed by the 2 largest firms on Wall
Street, with a background in Brokerage Account Administration, Financial
Planning, Investment Advisory, Investment State Law, Insurance, Staff Coaching
& Training, Marketing, Business Development, Networking and Public
Relations. Her Journey led her to discover Yoga in 1998 and Ayurveda soon after.
By 2015, after much intense study, a complete life transformation and
starting a private practice, she consciously left the corporate world to make
Ayurveda Medicine and authentic Yoga her primary focus.
She has studied the Aṣtāṅga Yoga, Āyurveda Cikitsā, Meditation, Pranic
Healing, Dravyagunakarma & Panćakarma in the USA, Italy and India, as well
as years of western studies in Anatomy, Physiology and Nutrition and considers
herself a lifelong student. She conducts
open Classes, Courses, Workshops, Fire Ritual & Drum Circles on natural
living, spiritual exploration, connection & healing, as well as numerous
gatherings to introduce Ayurveda to her community.
