Being fit and healthy goes much deeper than surface level. Yet, we're told by society that the epitome of “fit and healthy” is about how you look and the lifestyle that you lead.Take the Yoga industry, for example. This boomed in western society in the late 90s and 00s.An ancient practice of southern India that overtime was commercialised and a lifestyle created promoting elitism, the Yoga body, a range of athleisure, and labels and ideals that excluded anyone who didn't fit.I don't believe that when it reached the west in the late 19th century, it was ever intended to evolve in this way. Still, I'm afraid this is just another example of bullshit ideals being forced upon us by the Patriarchy.The Patriarchy seeps into every aspect of our life. I mean, it's just so deep-seated in our culture that I'm not sure I'll be able to unlearn everything before I die (hopefully of old age).“So what about Punk Rock Yoga then?”Over the years, I've been asked many things about Punk Rock Yoga: What makes Punk Rock Yoga different? How is it even still Yoga? Isn't it just another gimmick like goat or puppy yoga? And while I do teach it to punk music at festivals and special events, which is considered by some to be un-Yogic, it is so much more than that.It's taken me years to feel comfortable speaking about my true meaning of Punk Rock Yoga, and this is what this episode is all about.Resources:Order your copy of the Punk Rock Yoga Manifesto here: https://jodelacourt.heymarvelous.com/product/53385/aboutSubscribe to the Timely Thought Newsletter: https://timelythought.jodelacourt.comMusic by Jake from Sunliner https://instagram.com/sunlinerbandDisclaimer: The host of this podcast is not a medical physician or doctor, nor do they claim to be.

Have you had this thought? "I feel like I'm never going to be able to let go.". If you're ready to leave it all behind, this episode is for you."We have to regularly let go of part of our life every day, and every time that we do, we survive and we get a little bit stronger."I've been thinking a lot about letting go recently. It's something that I've always struggled with, because I've always seen it as losing something or giving up. But I'm starting to realize that sometimes letting go is the best thing you can do for yourself. It can be incredibly freeing and it can help you to move on from things that are no longer good for you. It can be a really tough process though, and it's easy to slip back into old habits. But if you can find a way to accept what isn't in your control and focus on what you do want, it can be really transformative.In this episode, I share the actions I take to help me to let go of what no longer serves me and find inner freedom.Follow me on:Instagram: https://instagram.com/jo_delacourtYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM1-Xy5AA5Tcvmik53-pSjwWebsite: https://www.jodelacourt.comLoved this episode?

Habits occur after the continuous repetition of an action; they become a behaviour. Sometimes they arise to provide comfort when experiencing an unpleasant feeling (or avoiding the real issue) or to ensure brain efficiency, so we don't need to re-learn everything.Half the time we don't even realise what we are doing is out of habit. In this episode I talk about why you can't simply categorise habits as 'good' or 'bad' and why identifying them can help you to change them.If you're struggling with the rules laid out by Conformity Culture and not sure how to find balance, then I've got you covered.Introducing the 5 Days to Freedom course!During this course, you will learn ways to live with anxiety and overcome negative self-talk using techniques and practices I've personally found life-changing.⁠⁠I'm sharing all this so that you can walk through 2021 feeling connected, clear-minded, and confident.⁠

How often are you asked “Hey, how are you?” in which you reply “I'm fine” when deep down inside, you know you're not.For some reason, many of us have this shame hanging over our heads that we aren't allowed to not be okay because in the grand scheme of things we're alright.We sugar coat our own feelings because “I'm not as worse off as others” or we say to ourselves “it's not so bad”.In this episode, I talk about the heart, our emotions and why it's okay to not be okay, AND how you can use the practice of cultivating joy to find inner alignment.Today's episode is part of a series where we focus on how to lead in your own life.Next stepsIf you're struggling with the rules laid out by Conformity Culture and not sure how to find balance, then I've got you covered.Introducing the 5 Days to Freedom free course!During this course, you will learn ways to live with anxiety and overcome negative self-talk using techniques and practices I've personally found life-changing.⁠⁠I'm sharing all this so that you can walk through 2021 feeling connected, clear-minded, and confident.⁠

I see so many people making false assumptions about what it takes to learn to live with anxiety and overcome negative self-talk.Conformity Culture and the single-brain society can make us feel that because we are on the mental health spectrum, that we're not normal.

How do we break through our barriers and make a positive change?Half of the time we prevent ourselves from moving forward. It can be for all sorts of reasons, or at least we will come up with all sorts of reasons!Sometimes it's even hard to identify WHAT those barriers are. For me, usually it is that something just doesn't feel right or seem right. And I'll admittedly get frustrated that I'm not more intune with myself.Often, to break down our barriers and make positive change we need to tap into our personal power, In today's episode, I share ways in which you can break down your internal barriers by tapping into your personal power using Body, Mind and Soul.Here's a brief interpretation of Body, Mind and Soul in my opinion:The Body – the physical body, in this case I'm focusing on your energy centre, the navel centre and solar plexus; your abdominal area.The Mind – part of the brain, the witnessing of the Self, the part of you that you train through meditation and breathwork (to control ‘prana' aka energy, using the breath).The Soul – your heart, the creator of emotional energy, the controller of blood pressure and hormonal influence.Next stepsIn my free Yoga for Anxiety videos I include a Kundalini Yoga inspired class called Stop Feeling Stuck, you can access it by visiting my online studio. Resources HeartMath Institution ILLUMINA Burning Man Festival 2017 Josh Korda – Dharma Punx NYC podcast Mental Health in the Punk Scene792 million people, worldwide, have a mental health disorder*.⁣⁣And we know, from recent news reports, that there has been a rise in people being affected by mental health issues due to the impact of COVID-19 and forced isolation.⁣To keep homeostasis, we need to be able to self-regulate and co-regulate, which is why community and connection with others is so important to our mental health.⁣I created the Mental Health in the Punk Scene survey.⁣It is an anonymous survey and in return for completing it, I will share a report of the results.⁣If you're interested in getting a copy of the report, then I will need your email address (which is an optional field in the survey) to send it to you, but your email will not be published in the report to ensure anonymity.⁣The survey will take under 2 mins – complete now.⁣Thank you for your help.⁣⁣*Our World Data, 2018.

Stress and anxiety can sometimes have a physical manifestation. For me it is a right right shoulder, and knots in my upper back and neck.In today's episode I take you through a moving relaxation/ meditation practice. The session is about 20 mins long, but you can use elements of it to eas tension throughout your day.The key is, do the movement in time with the breath and then finish with a meditation where you notice the sounds around you and the sensations in your body, before bringing your awareness back into the space you are in.This is certainly no quick fix, but it definitely helps to relief the tension in body and mind.Next stepsIf you're struggling with the rules laid out by Conformity Culture and not sure how to find balance, then I've got you covered.Introducing the 5 Days to Freedom course!During this course, you will learn ways to live with anxiety and overcome negative self-talk using techniques and practices I've personally found life-changing.⁠⁠I'm sharing all this so that you can walk through 2021 feeling connected, clear-minded, and confident.⁠
