ABOUT ME + SANTOSHA SPIRIT
Hi! My name is Rachel. I am the creator of Santosha Spirit. I am a certified yoga instructor who specializes in yoga for chronic illness, chronic pain and trauma recovery. Although I hold multiple teaching certifications, the classes I teach are largely inspired by my own firsthand experiences with chronic illness, ptsd and my personal yoga practice.
Because I know what it is like to live with chronic illness, I am able to create yoga classes that intuitively support the needs of someone who is experiencing chronic pain, fatigue, brain fog, etc. and many of my classes can be practiced in bed. If the practice in this video didn't suit your needs, be sure to check out the other yoga classes on my channel. I try to provide a variety of intensity levels.

Did you enjoy this episode? Should I do more podcasts? Let me know in the comments what you’d like to hear me talk about! 🤍
Yes, please, I really found this inclusive and uplifting. I’d love more on PTSD (mine was caused by very ill health every night for a long time and it got linked with bird song!) I can accept all but this….
Yes, please, i would love more podcasts like this! I feel so seen by you, it really helps me to take better care about myself. And to work woth Accepting that it is a life that looks different than many peoples lives.. not fighting against myself but rather adjusting my routines and activities. I push myself so easily, it is such a hard thing to let go of for me..the to do list and getting my sense of worth from ther ppls validation or what i can contribute to, what i do, what i achieve, learn.. i would love to hear more about this, how you practice self worth?.. if you feel like talking about it 😌💫💛
When I was in my worst flare it was exhausting just being in my body, I couldn't take care of my long hair anymore, so I cut it off. Just going to the bathroom was an up hill battle. There was no self care, there was only survival. Now I have days where my hair is done, my face is done and I am Ready to go and others where I might have a shower if i have the energy, but my hair is in its natural state and I am wearing pajamas. I work a few days a week and then I recover the rest of the week. If I am having a good week, I can even tackle jobs around the house. The rest of the time I just hold down my recliner. 😂 It's tiring to just be a human, it's absolutely exhausting to be a sick human.
For me, I'm a visual learner, so if there's nothing for me to watch, it's hard to keep focused especially if it's for more than 5 minutes. Even if you sat in front of the microphone talking, I would be fine. I guess I'm lip reading. IDK. But I can't watch just audio. Sorry. Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵. Take care of yourself and each other 😷.
I really liked this podcast! It’s good to know that even healers have health problems, because then I know I’m not healing because of something I’m not doing right spiritually.
WOW! This could have been me saying everything you said!
Thank you so much! I’m a new subscriber, and had a crying and anger fit the other day, because I try to stay so positive, and I just broke.
It’s been 21 years of overlapping toxin based experiences, and now it’s It’s so hard by myself and now taxes and extensive personal paperwork are due, but I don’t have any help and now I’m 69, and probably won’t really get much better.
Thanks again❣️ Keep ‘em coming!
Hello Rachel! I like to call this idea "resolution". So for example I got much better in 2023 and 2024, but I expected resolution. 😁
Oooh I like that! Thanks for sharing ❤️
@@SantoshaSpirit Thank you for all this awesome content too 🙂
Thanks for this 🙏 yes please to more podcasts ❤
I'm alone in the world, so I am my only caretaker. Do I get tired of supplements? Yes. Do I get tired of taking care of myself? No. Everyone has to take care of themselves. So I guess it's a matter of expectation.
Everyone has limitations. We can't figure out why John can't put together an IKEA bookcase correctly (some boards are always backwards). Sam is directionally challenged. He gets right and left mixed up. And he can't see some colors. Mine is I'm visual, so just listening is a real chore for me. That's why I like UA-cam.
We all have work arounds or hacks that help us with our limitations. And instead of regretting the things I've missed, I am so thankful for the things that I get to do. I'm thankful that I get to walk to the bathroom. I'm thankful that I get to dress and feed myself. I'm thankful that I'm in a financial situation where all my bills are paid and if I want to spend all day in bed, I can! 💖🌞🌵😷
I’m alone at 69, and I admit I get sick of taking care of myself and being my own advocate and having a house and dog to care for, in a world where it helps to have a man advocate (I just heard this from a Lyme caregiver who had a high profile Air Force woman pilot who told her story and one doctor was honest with her and told her it helps to bring a man with her to her appointments.) I’ve always thought this about my family who has basically ignored me and been hurtful to me since our mom died 18 years ago. I’ve never had anyone verify my pain or sicknesses, so I’m a scapegoat at this point.
@@Tinyteacher1111 , at least you have a family. Try to build a relationship with them. I know, easier said than done... How do you talk to people to whom you have nothing to say? But someone has to start to bridge the abyss.
A while back, I noticed no one said "have a nice weekend" to me. So, the next Friday, I said it to everyone I saw. Now everyone says it to me. People saw me as unapproachable, but I turned it around. Maybe your family sees in a similar light. You can turn this around too!
Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵. Take care of yourself and each other 😷.
@@suzisaintjames OMG! I’ve tried so many things! I can’t even go into it because everyone knows and doesn’t understand what I did or didn’t do. I’ve asked, I’ve pleaded, I’ve cried. I’ve tried to kill them with kindness, and it’s absolutely SICK!
@@Tinyteacher1111 , have you tried just being their friend? 💖🌞🌵😷
@@suzisaintjames
Why are you harassing me? Don’t you have anything better to do? I should just say no and stop, but I’ve written this already.
Your advice is 18 years late. I’ve been to therapy after therapy about this. I am getting upset with your questions, and I don’t know why I’m even responding. I can’t answer anymore because I told you I’ve tried everything. It has come to a point where I can’t even get an answer to a text about wishing them happy birthday even though I always call or text every family member on their birthdays. I get a text on my birthday from one sister, and that’s it.
I didn’t know my sister got divorced, then she remarried the same guy and I was not invited, I wasn’t called when he died and didn’t find out until the next day after all the arrangements had been made and my daughter called me to tell me after her cousin called her, and the list goes on.
Now it’s a question of self-preservation. I’ve been chronically ill for 21 years. and had surgeries they didn’t know I had.
By the way, I have a family on paper, but not in my heart.
I’m not responding to you anymore because this is making me very sad.
Have you ever tried brain rewiring practices for your health issues?
Do you mean pain reprocessing therapy?
Thank you this was extremely helpful!
