On this episode:One year ago, Aimee and Lisa stepped away from the podcast, not knowing when they would return, because who could make a plan in 2020? Aimee had to prioritize her work as an experienced Registered Nurse in a global pandemic and Lisa was in the middle of a Covid pivot which included big changes for her whole family.  In this bonus episode, we come back for an update and a re-listen to last year's solstice episode, because it's brimming with what you need to know about harmonizing with the summer season from an Ayurvedic and yoga therapy perspective.

While Aimee is called to use her skills as a registered nurse in Columbus, Ohio, Lisa hosts solo and offers a practice she hopes will be helpful.  There's a lot of information out there about the benefits of meditation. If you haven't had a regular practice, it's a hard time to start something new. Even for experienced meditators, it's a challenge to sit quietly for an extended amount of time right now.  So we hope you enjoy this version of the guided practice of yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) with the intention of cultivating an inner resource of peace and safety. This method might feel more easeful because you will be invited to lie down while your mind is guided to focal points around the body and visualizations intended to relax the body completely, while the mind stays awake. This kind of rest is called “productive rest” because you enter a state of healing akin to deep sleep.  Yoga Nidra has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, emotional reactivity and chronic pain while supporting focus and sleep.  You will need about 25 minutes of free, quiet time for this practice. Please practice anytime you need a break, a rejuvenation or some emotional support.  Here are some other resources to help you tend to anxiety from Lisa: Online classes (live and recorded): Take a class The Worrier to Warrior Digital Workshop- Therapeutic Skills to Soothe and Anxious Mind and Body

Aimee and Lisa have an unexpected therapy session with their regular guest Jodi Krahn as they relay a recent revisit of unhealed, younger parts of themselves who learned they needed to be good to be loved. Aimee tells a story of her teenage self who learned she didn't belong and Lisa recounts a moment in childhood when she learned the perils of dropping the ball.

When struck by a memory of a past mistake, do you experience the initial sense of shame all over again? Aimee and Lisa both recently had an experience of remembered shame and how it can cause us to speak terribly to ourselves as more punishment. This week, a discussion about self-forgiveness, learning, growing and being ok with not knowing

Over the last few weeks, Lisa and Aimee have each experienced an abundance of opportunities to live what they feel to be their “dharma”, their sacred duty or purpose. The teachings of yoga have told us all along that one of the pillars of a rich, fulfilled life is finding meaning. Now, western science is catching up to those ancient concepts celebrating the health benefits of finding your “why” and living with purpose. Listen in as Aimee and Lisa share how purpose has guided them, even when they didn't know it, and what can happen when we surrender to acting in service of our dharma.  Resources: Forbes Article by Brett Steenbarger A Radiant Year:Spend more time exploring the skills and practices that support Lisa and Aimee every day!

This week is all about a more mystical aspect of yoga philosophy- the chakra system. For some, the energetic architecture of the body may seem theoretical, for others, it's a useful healing resource. If it's true that the balance of centers of energy within can influence everything from how well we process emotions to how confident we feel, maybe it's worth looking into. Aimee and Lisa share how working with this system has brought positive change into their lives and they realize that one podcast does not do this topic justice, so enjoy part one! Resource:Anodea Judith- Eastern Body, Western Mind Find out more about us and our offerings: aimeepruitt.com lisadumasyoga.com Be part of the conversation and ask to join the private FB page- “The Radiant Warrior Community”!

We all have qualities that we've learned are bad or wrong so we've rejected them in ourselves and others. When someone else sees our shadow selves, it is extremely uncomfortable to be faced with an aspect of ourselves we have judged harshly. This week, Lisa's shadow came into the light. Lisa and Aimee talk about how to reclaim our murkier shades and integrate our experiences to step into a unified version of ourselves under the light of self-acceptance. Resources: Carl JungFew people have had as much influence on modern psychology as Carl Jung; we have Jung to thank for concepts like extroversion and introversion, archetypes, modern dream analysis, and the collective unconscious. Psychological terms coined by Jung include the archetype, the complex, synchronicity, and it is from his work that the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) was developed, a popular staple of personality tests today.Sianna ShermanSianna Sherman is an international yoga teacher, storyteller, and speaker at conferences and festivals throughout the world.
