  • 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.

    GUEST EXPERT: Elena Brower | https://elenabrower.com/

But my BFF Samantha Skelly wants you to experience the power of breathwork as its own vital modality that’s distinct and separate from your yoga or movement practice. Sam educates us on the difference between integrative and meditative breathwork, the four main breathing patterns she teaches at Pause Breathwork and how to increase our breathing stamina.

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

    🔹How to separate the teachings from the teacher

  • Special guest alert! Dr. Micheline Nader is a Health Care Entrepreneur, Best Selling author of “Leap Beyond Success” and “The Dolphin's Dance,” Executive coach, Motivational speaker, Philanthropist and President of Jesra Foundation. Today, we discuss how to:

    🔹 Discover your “Emotional Logo”

    🔹 Discern what’s your intuition…and what’s not

    🔹 Program your emotions

    🔹 Align your mindset to accelerate your success

    Most yogis are self aware. But according to Micheline, self reflection is a huge part of leadership, and that leadership can tie into our own personal development work. I learned so much in this incredible episode about how our past traumas inform our present-moment decision making. And I know you will too!

  • You probably think of social media as “one more thing” that’s stealing your time. Or as “one more thing” you have to DO in your wellness business. But what if instead of another task, it was the ultimate mirror to fuel your personal development and evolution as a healer and leader? Today, I speak with my incredible friend and fellow entrepreneur Amanda Bucci about how to get over yourself, show up authentically on social media, and conquer imposter syndrome once and for all.
