I used to hear the word “boundary” and thought that it meant putting up an energetic brick wall. This was not fun (and not feasible). In today’s episode, I share practical tips about what I’ve learned on setting and holding boundaries with an open heart. Most of us have been conditioned to think that “boundaries = confrontation” and even physically tense up when we have to hold a boundary or say “no.” The tips I share today will help with that:
🔹Notice boundaries in nature
🔹Make your boundaries intensely personal (even if they are outlandish)
🔹Get clear and accept the boundary within yourself self (otherwise you can’t expect anyone else to uphold it
🔹Deliver your boundary with an open heart
Gratitude to one of my teachers, Kednra Cunov, who inspired the tips in this episode.

Ugh… that annoying “self care” word again. It’s overused. We know we should be doing it. But what is it really? Today, I attempt to dissect and lift the veil on what self care truly means (hint, it’s not just bubble baths). Listen and discover:
🔹The two-pronged “carrot and stick” approach to self care and how this relates back to the Yoga Sutras
🔹Why self care is an act of courage and not a luxury thing for the rich or “bougie”
🔹How an absence of self love manifests in toxic ways in our relationships
🔹How to have grace and compassion for yourself AND accountability and ownership

Ever felt like you’ve unlocked a new level of happiness or success… only to have everything come crashing down around you? That’s because we self sabotage when we leave our energetic comfort zone. For many of us (sadly) we’re *more* comfortable with lower, negative vibrations than the higher ones we’re ascending toward. Today, we unpack how this works and learn concrete action-steps you can take to counteract self-sabotage. Discover:
🔹What self-sabotage is from an energetic perspective
🔹Why growth happens in an expansion contraction cycle (and why that’s normal)
🔹The trick of identifying your “too good worries”
🔹Discerning the “early tells” of your negative spiral and how to break the spiral
And so much more!

Let’s talk SNAKES! 🐍 And join me for the upcoming Kali Yoga Challenge. You may know that Kundalini has been historically represented through the symbol of the serpent, but why? Why a snake? As most ancient yogic translations, it all starts with Sanskrit. The translation of “Kundalini Shakti” from Sanskrit to English is “Serpent Power”.
This coincides with the movement of energy released within your body from the base of the spine up through the crown. This Kundalini energy is said to be like a snake, coiled at the base of the spine waiting to be released to your highest power. Symbolically this energy also moves like a serpent and is awakened by specific meditation and consciousness techniques.
In this episode, I nerd-out on all things Kundalini. The iconography of the snake, cross-cultural significance of the serpent, and why this knowledge is essential to unlocking the full potential of your personal practice.

Kundalini yoga is unlike any other type of yoga that you might practice. Where hatha yoga and vinyasa flow might focus on the physical exercises (asana) that yoga has to offer, Kundalini focuses on the spiritual practice of yoga. It’s about the energy body as opposed to the physical body.
Don’t worry, it’s not as scary as it sounds.
Kundalini Yoga is the “yoga of awareness,” and we unpack exactly what that means in this juicy episode.
