Follow the Yogi's Path

I took a hiatus from podcasting to build an online business. I couldn't wait to get back to sharing yoga and life with you. This episode was one of the most difficult for me to record. A part of me wanted to share this story because the secrecy of this type of abuse keeps it going. Another part of me did not want to give the psychopath an audience. I hope that I did the topic justice and high...

Judging is something that happens unconsciously and consciously. But how do we know when we are judging someone, including ourselves, and how to we work and changing that habit? Take a listen and find out.  A simply acronym will help keep us on the road of non-judgement. Apply this to yourself because we cannot change others...it's not our job to change others. It is our privilege to shift ou...

As humans, we are receivers and transmitters of the cosmic Life Force Energy — the Universal Energy that gives life to all things. Our thoughts are energy and give rise to our emotions, which in turn are simply energy in motion — like invisible clouds hovering above and around our physical body. How we feel, what we say and how we move all give signals out to the universe at a particular frequency...

During these challenging times we can choose to learn about ourselves. Things are as they are and we can resist or accept it. What if what we are feeling is withdrawal from our busy lives and the emotions that were in the background already? How will we change so that in the future slowing doesn't mean falling down.  #podcasts #listening #podcast #love #work #people #time #apple #applepodcast...

It wasn't until I started applying the practice of yoga to my life that I really began to understand what self-love looked like. It wasn't what I had originally. It didn't include shopping, spas or vacations. I'll list what I found to be self-love on my yogic journey.  #podcasts #listening #podcast #love #work #people #time #apple #applepodcasts #day #looking #music #radio #tod...

When certain characteristics in someone’s personality trigger a negative reaction from you, there is something within you that is coming up because it is ready to be healed.  Usually, it represents issues from your past that have gone unresolved. Sometimes it's a long standing fear you have that needs attention and reconciliation. Then there are the individuals that cross your path that bring...

What's it like growing up with a yogic mom and more importantly what's it like being a teenager these days? It started as an interview and ended up being a philosophical conversation. Join us  and listen to her viewpoint on growing up, depression, art and life in general. What's the most important thing to her. Was it nurture or nature that made her who she is today?  #podcasts #lis...

Today I go off the "deep philosophical" road and share some of my struggles with hot yoga. From the sweating, to the farting and everything in between. Listen this is YOGA!!!!! but it's also "just" yoga. Taking ourselves and it so seriously takes the joy and effortlessness in it.    #podcasts #listening #podcast #love #work #people #time #apple #applepodcasts #day #looking...

Now that I have your attention...how many lies do we tell ourselves? How many times have we justified and rationalized a circumstance or our behavior to satisfy ourselves, not have to take a chance or just stay in the comfort zone. Today we review the lies we tell ourselves about ourselves.  #podcasts #listening #podcast #love #work #people #time #apple #applepodcasts #day #looking #music #radio #...

The non-judgmental quality of mindfulness is very important. However, the absence of judgment toward unwanted experiences is necessary but not sufficient. We also need to cultivate the presence of kindness, compassion and love – toward ourselves, toward others, and toward the inevitable unwanted, painful and otherwise distressing experiences in life. There are two especially important ways of lovi...

In Episode 6, I've provided a short "Loving Kindness" guided meditation to help you cultivate contentment with yourself and to offer loving kindness to all beings. Click here to download the guided meditation.  We give so much power to the emotions we feel. There are three general emotional tracks in life: happiness, sadness and contentment. This is what I call the roller coaster of...

In this episode we explore the connection between breath and orgasms. Learn how the energy that facilitates orgasms is the same energy for spiritual involution.  It includes two breath exercises.  1. To use with your partner 2. To practice alone #podcasts #listening #podcast #love #work #people #time #apple #applepodcasts #day #looking #music #radio #today #week #two #episode #itunes #marketing #a...

Today we're exploring the practice of yoga nidra. What it is, how it benefits us and how to craft your resolution so that it is effective. In yoga nidra we do not actually go to sleep but instead teeter on the very edge of it. In fact you’ll hear me say “remember no sleeping” as I guide students in yoga nidra. It is the state between wakefulness and dream. This state is where the mind and men...

In yoga Sutra 1:33 we find the Four Locks and Four Keys, a practical-as-can-be sutra that gives responses to four major types of behavior people exhibit. The lock is a human behavior that can trigger our behavior; the key is what keeps the mind calmed from the whirlwinds to help us experience or keep us the state of Yoga. Check out yoga nidra meditations on my website! #podcasts #listening #podcas...

We misidentify with many things in this life. We confuse what we do, say, think, feel, experience and even own with what and who we really are. In this week's session I talk about how moving away from the stories we tell ourselves is a key to our healing. We'll learn about how the mind stores solutions from long ago limiting our ability to see things as they are today. If you find yourse...
