Embodied Living Yoga

In Episode 16, Ahima (non-violence) is broken down. How can you explore this in your daily life? How can we turn this into a positive that elevates our capacity for love? And what does love have to do with it? From the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, one of the Yamas right here on the Embodied Living Yoga podcast. Thank you for listening.

From the Couch Fridays!!! An honest conversation about self esteem. What do the doshas and the yamas and niyamas have to do with it? Imagine what more you could do in the world if you had an inner confidence that could not be shaken.

In Episode 14 Living in Balance is discussed. Balance is defined through the yogic lense as the natural order of things. But how do we play with it in a useful way, integrate this into our daily lives, and create even deeper and more fulfilling relationship to both ourselves and others?

In Episode 13: How do we move through the blocks when we feel like we can't? What's the secret to reconnecting? How do we take the action of our own dharma (life purpose)? In this episode I break it down, give simple suggestions and tools to live your life with a smile, build friendships, and move into fulfilling both your inner and outer world. Just do the thing!

In Episode 12, its a dharma talk from my couch. Are there benefits from being rigid in your life? What does it mean to be world embracing? Do you have the courage to be whoever the eff you are, and are you willing to go big on you?

In Episode 11, our dharma talk is about Transformation and what that really means from a yogic perspective. "You owe it to yourself to be yourself." Yogi Bhajan

In Episode 10 the toxic sludge that can build up in the brain is discussed. You have the power to lubricate your internal channels, increase your own vitality, sense of self worth, and clarity in your daily life. Listen to find out how. Happy brain draining!

In Episode 9 nonattachment is contemplated. What does nonattachment even mean? How do we know what we want is even what we need? What do wants really bring out in us? Can we be okay just being? Does nonattachment mean we do not care? Listen here to explore how nonattachment can actually bring you more peace, purpose, and internal joy in your life. Thank you for listening.

In this episode we begin with the Sanskrit word Purnatva, the state of being whole and fulfilled (you have everything you need and everything you need you have.) I was reminded of this teaching when my day started out 10 steps behind before my eyes even opened. I reveal how I used the teachings of Yoga to stop the downward spiral and come back to center. This episode is a great example of how to use the Yoga practice in a real way, when anxiety and overwhelm strike. Please listen, practice and share. Much love.

In this Episode I discuss what happens when we begin to do the deeper work of staying in awareness and allowing ourselves to be with the revelations that come. Yoga gives us an opportunity to know ourselves better, to accept, to cleanse, and to elevate. And this can only come through radical honesty. May we all be willing to share our truths in each moment, may we connect deeper, and may we help to elevate one another. Thank you for being a part of this community.

In Episode 6 I share a breathing practice that will reveal a deeper inner experience and elevate how you think, feel, and act in the world. I am finding profound shifts in my subtle body through this breath focus, I would love to hear about your experience of playing with this technique. Honored you are here, thank you for listening.

In Episode 05 it is time for reflection. One of my teachers, Reverand Jaganath Carrera (http://www.yogalifesociety.com/) states one of the ways to reflect on our own spiritual evolution, is to ask ourselves the question: "Am I more loving today than I was yesterday?" What a beautiful practice and a way to hold ourselves to center and stay honest on our path. Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu. Many, many thanks for being here.

In Episode 4 of "The Embodied Living Yoga Podcast" we explore how being rigid in our beliefs can keep us in a "truth" which ends up not being beneficial to us or our relationships. Satya is one of the Yamas, which is the first of the 8 limbs of Yoga, from "Patanajali's Yoga Sutras." What I love about this is the infinite ability for us to explore and expand or viewpoints when it comes to truth- creating deeper connection to ourselves and holds more tolerance and space for others. Thank you for listening!

In Episode 03 of the Embodied Living Yoga Podcast, we explore how to, and the importance of going deeper in Relationship to the inner Self. This has been a huge part of my recent growth and I hope you find it meaningful to explore within your own being. Thank you for listening!

In Episode 02 we learn about Ama (undigested food, thoughts, and emotions) and how to begin to weave our Prana (life force) clearing through our own blocks. We also do a "neutral mind meditation" which I hope lights you up the way it does me. Thank you so much for listening!

The very first episode of Embodied Living Yoga! Did you know the way to a deeper breath is to exhale first??? What I value most is creating a nourishing practice for both myself and passing it on to others. This is a simple but deep concept and I hope you take the time to play with the profound internal shift this can create in your own being.
