The Elements of Ayurveda Podcast

Episode 140

Marlysa Sullivan is a physiotherapist and yoga therapist with over 15 years of experience working with people suffering with chronic pain conditions.

She has researched Aristotle’s concept of eudaimonic wellbeing and Yoga’s spiritual wellbeing as a way to help restore a sense of wellbeing to the individual living with chronic pain. We discuss the following:

• How chronic pain can affect a persons life.
• What is eudaimonic wellbeing and how can it help a person with chronic pain.
• Perceived social isolation and the health effects.
• The effect spirituality can have on our health and wellbeing.
• How Aristotle’s virtue ethics correlates with Yoga’s yamas and niyamas.
• Marlysa shares case studies of how she works with her clients.
