The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

A lot of us struggle with shame, self-sabotage, and setting boundaries. I know I used to! Andrea Owen, author and life coach, is here to tell you the hard truth. That shame is inevitable in life and it's not going away. BUT, self-compassion, empathy, and mindfulness are key components of building shame resilience. We also talk about how personal growth ebbs and flows and setting boundaries is essential. Yes it can be challenging, but it is important to prioritize your own needs and well-being.

Listen in as Andrea explains:

🔹Shame as a normal and inevitable part of life, rather than something to be overcome.

🔹The connection between shame and behaviors such as people-pleasing and perfectionism.

🔹Strategies for building shame resilience, including self-compassion, empathy, and speaking shame.

Dissect the stages of Yoga Nidra with me and my friend, Caley Alyssa. Together, we'll dive into the emerging science behind deep yogic sleep. We'll also provide tons of practical tips (hello, heated blanket!) as two busy moms and yoga teachers who practice Yoga Nidra regularly.

Discover:

🔹 Misconceptions about the different brainwave states experienced during Yoga Nidra and how it's NOT the equivalent of 2 -4 hours of sleep.

🔹 How Yoga Nidra works with the Koshas and affects melatonin production in your body.

🔹 The importance of setting an intention or sankalpa and how it can be used to address limiting beliefs.

🔹 The distinct structure and phases that culminate to create a Yoga Nidra practice.

We also cover – how long is "enough," whether to practice in bed or on the floor, and all our hacks for propage. You'll be excited to rest after this conversation.

Have you ever fallen into this trap? I know you've heard me talk about how as healers we have a hard time charging for our services, but there is another trap we easily fall into similar to this: OVERGIVING. Meaning, you are offering way more than you're potentially charging for. This often comes from a place of insecurity, which is why showing up as your authentic self is so important.

Let's explore:

🔹Overgiving can lead to feelings of resentment, depletion, and burnout.

🔹Setting boundaries and stating pure desires can help prevent over-giving.

🔹Focusing on quality over quantity is important in all areas of life.

This conversation will give you valuable insights and tools for healing and personal growth.

Discover:

🔹Why childhood experiences, especially between the ages of zero to 12, shape our inner child and can lead to subconscious patterns and behaviors.

Today, let's explore the difference between traditional yoga and somatic yoga. While traditional yoga focuses on alignment, somatic yoga allows you to process and deeply feel your emotions. I will never tell you not to do a traditional yoga class, There is an incredible amount of value there and I have so much love for yogic tradition. But, I would like to encourage you to bring more somatic movement into your practice.

Let's discuss:

🔹Traditional yoga's focus on alignment, strength, and breath control, while somatic yoga emphasizes embodiment, emotional processing, and non-habitual movement.

🔹Five common yoga poses that can be made more somatic: sufi grind, spinal flex, cat-cow, downward dog, and janu sirsasana.

🔹How somatic yoga allows individuals to deepen their connection with their bodies and process difficult emotions.

Let's delve into the realm of the subconscious with my long lost friend, Allison Roman! Allison and I used to teach yoga together in San Francisco a decade ago, but reconnected on Instagram, and I got curious about her work as a Transformation Holistic Hypnotherapist who specializes in the subconscious. Your subconscious is making most of your major decisions. Even if you bring awareness of your patterning into the moment, it's often not enough and in some cases, can keep you stuck!

Nerd out with us on:

🔹Subconscious reprogramming, NLP and what's special about hypnotherapy

🔹New ways to define samskaras, the ego and the "highest self"

🔹Why curiosity is key when shifting long term patterns (and exactly how to use it)

In this episode, I share some of my own deeply held negative beliefs I'm trying to shift, and Allison coaches me live. I know what she has to say about anxiety and negative predictions can help you too. Listen in!

Emotional processing is essential for humans, but our society doesn't value or provide time for it. This is why when you finally have some space, like on a vacation perhaps, you may get hit with a trauma response seemingly out of nowhere. Just like it did for me on my recent trip to Paris. I'm not just talking about the ones we all know, fight, flight, and freeze. There are three more "F"s that belong to that system! Today I want to share with you the DENT(Dynamic Experiential Narrative Theory) model of trauma.

Let's discuss:

🔹Your body's different responses to trauma, stress, and anxiety, including flight, fight, freeze, fawn, flood, and fatigue.

🔹How somatic or embodied yoga practices can be helpful for emotional processing and regulation.

🔹Why listening to your body and practicing self-care is crucial for maintaining balance and well-being.

Today, I interview one of my biggest mentors, Elena Brower. I ask her about the tension many of us feel as yoga teachers: How do we honor our own personal practice (which may be morphing away from the style of yoga we're known for), while still meeting our students' where they are? How do we not feel pigeon-holed by a certain technique or style? And trust our own voice? Listen in as we discuss:

🔹 How Elena's teaching reached me in the most unexpected of places, changing the trajectory of my life and career

🔹 Where yoga and buddhism differ, overlap and compliment one another

🔹Workaholism and how to craft your time to honor your own needs

We also discuss our favorite books, and ways to open up space for creativity in your life. Thank you, Elena, for your energy in this conversation.

Even though it's been years since news broke of the Yogi Bhajan scandal a lot of practitioners still question the integrity of the profound practice that is kundalini yoga. Today's episode is a conversation between my Kundalini University partner Guru Singh and myself in which we answer all of the community's questions on this topic. This is a full lecture from within the program so I had to split it into two parts to share with you. In Part One we discuss:

🔹The true origins of kundalini yoga and it's lineage

🔹The fact that nobody "owns" yoga because it is a science

🔹How to separate the teachings from the teacher

Don't forget to keep an eye out for Part Two where we'll start with the question, "Is 3HO a cult?" I'll see you there!

As yoga teachers (or just regular humans!), we're often forced to put ourselves "out there" where others can judge us – and it can feel terrifying. Maybe you're terrified to get a negative comment on social media. Or you overthink every single thing you post. Maybe you think, "Who am I to teach? Who am I to share?" Or you're caught in a cycle of self-sabotage, worrying about what others think. In this episode:

🔹Learn about the brain's negativity bias and strategies to cope with out

🔹Understand why your fear of being judged is normal, and how to work through it

🔹Why you *want* to repel as many people as you attract

🔹What makes a powerful brand

Today, I interview one of my personal teachers and mentors, Anodea Judith PhD, about reclaiming female archetypes of leadership. It's time for women to rise up and take on more leadership in today's world. Because women lead differently than men, their contributions are often unrecognized, even by the women themselves. But with archetypes to guide us, women and men can recognize, honor, and activate the many ways women uniquely contribute.

Together, we'll dive into Anodea's brand new 38 card archetype deck, including an empowering poetry reading on what it means to be the YOGI archetype. Discover ancient archetypes, such as the Priestess, the Oracle, or the Midwife, as well as newly emerging ones, such as the Activist, the Diva, the Yogini, or the Stateswoman. Learn:

🔹 How to awaken your innate female leadership style

🔹 The difference between an archetype and a stereotype

🔹 What does knowing about these archetypes offer you

Don't miss this special conversation with one of my very favorite teachers.

Today, I interview French physician Fanny Leboulanger about pleasure, sensuality, jade eggs and how we can leverage our time on the yoga mat to become more orgasmic. I also reveal all the yogic pleasure practices I've been engaging in recently (coming soon to the Uplifted membership). We also talk about pelvic floor health, sexual trauma and practical techniques to de-armor your pelvic floor. Discover:

🔹 How to turn your yoga practice into a pleasure practice 🔹 Why "self-consent" is the basis of thriving sex 🔹 The science of orgasm in solo play and with a partner

GUEST EXPERT: Fanny Leboulanger | www.fannyleboulanger.com | Your Sexyfied Life Podcast

After years of working as a doctor helping women, Fanny chose to dedicate her life to Feminine Empowerment through self-love and soul-full pleasure. Using a combination of ancient wisdom, modern science, a talent to teach and a French sense of humor (without French accent don't worry), her mission is to help you reclaim the Thriving Sex and Fulfilling Life YOU deserve, so that you can finally become whole.

Living with chronic pain can be a nightmare. Teaching a yoga student with chronic pain can feel intimidating. Today, I'm joined by Uplifted 200-Hour and 300-Hour graduate, Kim Patel, to unpack how chronic pain is different from acute pain, and how to work with chronic pain in a yoga context. This fascinating conversation leads us into an in-depth conversation about the brain, the nervous system, phantom limb syndrome, as well as stories from my own life as the daughter of a war veteran with chronic pain.

Kim was working as a nurse when she developed a long-term pain condition related to her pregnancy which first sparked her interest in pain management. Kim offers one-to-one bespoke pain management blending her nursing knowledge and pain management qualifications with counseling, mindfulness, meditation and movement including yoga. She's now in the final stages of her doctorate looking at chronic pain and self-concept related to acceptance.

This is a must-listen for any yoga teacher looking to support students with injury, illness or pain.

In this episode, I unpack all my practical strategies to slay imposter and share your gifts. Learn:

Today I'm sharing four pivots I'm making in both my business and personal life. I hope some of these are helpful or can inspire you! I discuss the importance of focusing on the current of manifestation rather than the current of liberation in your yoga practice. I also emphasize the significance of embracing Embodied Yoga and prioritizing pleasure (ooo-yah!). Additionally, I highlight the need for better management, delegation skills and effective energy management. I hope you enjoy these insights and ideas I'm striving to prioritize as we enter a new season. Enjoy!

We're on the precipice of the New Year. It's the perfect time to reflect on what yoga means to you, how to start or (re)start your practice… and convince everyone you love to do the same. It's also the first episode in which I am a published author with my book YOGA LIFE available worldwide! To celebrate *all the things,* I invited my friend and celebrity life coach Lauren Zander to join me on the podcast this week to chat about:

🔹 Why coaching and yoga work so synergistically together, and why you need both 🔹 How to kickstart your yoga or "pitch" yoga to those around you who may be skeptical about getting on a mat (especially if they're older, think they'll "suck" or are "inflexible") 🔹 The history of modern yoga: proof that its always been evolving and why you must claim the permission slip to personalize your practice in 2024.

I also share dozens of "Yoga Habits" from my book so you can slip yoga in on New Year's Eve and Day, even if you're traveling, cooking or can't make time for a longer practice! Get ready for some fun.
