Faye’s journey with Yogahealer has been one of deep self-healing. 4 years ago she had an unwavering passion to help contribute to the awakening of planetary consciousness, and a true knowing that she has a purpose in this life, but really wasn’t clear on what that looked like until Body Thrive helped her to strip back mental and bodily Ama and connect with her inner voice.


She now works with her students that are all inspiring individuals working towards living out their own dharma. She helps them to align with nature’s rhythms, to deeply trust their own intuition, and pass down this wonderful wisdom map of Ayurveda.

Guest Bio:

Ever since Lesley was a little kid, she felt a deep personal connection to nature. It’s always been her spiritual home- the forest, the lake, the trees, the sky, the animals. The woods by her house were where she went to feel safe, connected, creative, peaceful.

Lesley has also ALWAYS been a seeker, wanting to understand the bigger picture, digging down into the deeper root cause of it all. She has always been a connector, an “old soul”, empath, sensitive to energies, seeker of deeper connections and meaning, the one who people turn to to confide in for advice, guidance and processing, asking the hard questions and holding space with empathy.

Through the work of habit evolution we can prepare our minds and bodies to do the deeper work of self-understanding. There is a yogic process for personal development, written about in the ancient texts of the Vedas and made actionable for modern life through the process known as The Four Desires, developed by Yogarupa Rod Stryker. In this episode the Yoga Health Coach podcast, Annie Barrett has a conversation with Four Desires Trainer Brooke Bailey about how the habits of dinacharya prepare us to go to new depths of self-understanding and do the work of our unique dharma.  

What you’ll get out of tuning in:

  • How your daily habits can make or break your dharma
  • How the Four Desires process guides you to live from your life’s purpose
  • How syncing your habits with nature will make you more aware of your unique purpose

Show Highlights:

  • 6:00 – What brings you joy? Sometimes this can be difficult to answer if you don’t feel good due to stress or other health issues. When you feel better after implementing the 10 daily habits, you can start to reflect on what brings you joy, and thus uncover your dharma.
  • 7:40 – The Four Desires process invites you to ask deeper questions of yourself. The desires are dharma, artha, kama, moksha.
  • 12:15 – People usually come to the Yoga Health Coaching 10 Habits course through artha, the desire related to health. We also tend to look at dharma with another manifestation of artha, our profession, and how we support ourselves economically.
  • 15:50 – Often, we might be clear about what we’re doing in the world, but may not have addressed our need for kama, relationships and sensuality. The habits can bring us into deeper relationships with the other categories of desire.
  • 21:00 – The Habits support all Four Desires, and direct us back to wholeness. Get clear about what’s important for you to express with a Four Desires workshop.
  • 29:00- Our habits can make or break our manifestation of dharma!
