The Uplifted Yoga Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

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!

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.

Continuing our conversation with best-selling author and Ayurvedic nutritionist, Sahara Rose, we now take the plunge into understanding the Gunas. Just like there are three Doshas—Vata, Pitta and Kapha—in Ayurveda there are also three cosmic forces, which are the subtler forms of each Dosha—prana, tejas, and ojas. These energies are present in the foods you eat, and consuming foods that are high in prana, tejas, or ojas can bring those energies into your body. After Sahara educates us about the Gunas, I quiz her on what tools we need at home to make Ayruvedic recipes in our modern kitchen. The go-to kitchen tools she loves may surprise you!

Sahara Rose is the best-selling author of the Idiot's Guide to Ayurveda, which is the #1 best-selling Ayurveda book globally and the upcoming Eat Feel Fresh: A Plant-Based Ayurvedic Cookbook. She has been called “a leading voice for the millennial generation into the new paradigm shift” by Deepak Chopra, who wrote the foreword of both her titles.

Best-selling author and Ayurvedic nutritionist, Sahara Rose, loved the wisdom of the Ayurvedic diet for its intuitive and customizable nature, but longed to make it more alkaline, plant-based, and low-glycemic. Today, she tells us about her journey reviving this ancient science for a modern, alkaline kitchen. Since the Doshas so often steal the show in any conversation about Ayurveda, I ask Sahara to educate us about the Six Tastes of Ayurveda instead. We demystify terms like “Pungent” and “Astringent” and learn how you can cook one Ayurvedic meal that will feed your whole family, even if everyone has a different predominate Dosha! Listen to learn more.

Loneliness is the modern disease of the technology world. Despite what we showcase on social media, we all experience loss, loneliness, and grief. We often don’t know how to channel these emotions or where to look to for support. In today’s episode, Ayurvedic consultant Akshata Sheelvant shares ancient yogic wisdom from the Vedas and Bhagavad Gita on grief. Learn what grief and loneliness is according to the science of Ayurveda – and how to rebalance your energy. Akshata also tells us her personal story. We learn the variety of emotions (and familial conflict) she went through after losing both of her parents in the span of 18 months. She shares with us how she felt orphaned and victimized, before transforming her suffering into a deep spiritual connection that helped her find her dharma. Listen to learn more.
