Podcast appearances and mentions of brett larkin

If you didn't know this already, this podcast is truly a week-by-week sharing of my own reading and writing life, what I'm learning and how I'm growing in my own restorative practice. I talk about the books I'm actually reading, the things I'm actually writing and the ways I'm furthering my own knowledge in this little niche that I love so much. This week is no exception.I stumbled upon a key piece of research that could be the one thing standing in your way of a reading and writing life that is interesting and passes the time to a restorative reading and writing practice that actually calms your nervous system and makes you feel better.As a quick review, there are a few key steps to a restorative reading and writing practice that alchemizes the healing power of them both:* Carve out a block of time and create soothing conditions to read and write.* Choose the book or passage that you need right now in this season of life.* Read with an open mind and heart.* Write about the nudges you feel in your body and mind.* Take inspired action from the page to make life better. As is with many things, the first step can be the hardest part: finding the time and creating the optimal conditions for your own reading and writing. But honestly, if we do, such beautiful changes can happen in your mind, body and life, especially when we layer our reading and writing practices with soothing signals from our senses. Why?Well, I used to think it was because those sensory signals provided a soothing message to our nervous systems that we could calm down and sink into our practice, elevating our reading and writing experience. And that is still true. But I know know it is much, much more than that. The sensory layers we add to our practice actually signal SAFETY to our bodies.Let me explain, courtesy of my learning from Brett Larkin in HEALING WITH SOMATIC YOGA, a book from my RELEASE book apothecary this month:Our bodies do not speak in words. That's why, even though we truly want to, we can't tell it to stop worrying and to stop overthinking and to stop ruminating and have it easily respond. It simply cannot listen to us in the language we are using. Why? Because it speaks a different language: the language of movement, sensation, breath, sound and touch. When we speak in THAT language and give our body messages at the somatic and sensory level, our bodies can finally listen. That's why paying close attention to the sensory elements in our restorative reading and writing practice is critical.Armed with this new information, I think it's the perfect time to take a sensory audit of our current restorative practice and give it a bit of a refresh for the Spring season. To begin, take an honest look at your current reading and writing practices:* What signals of safety are you currently providing your system during your reading and writing time?* How do they align to the season of the calendar we are in to take advantage of Mother Nature's rhythms? Take a minute and list some ideas for your own personal practice and then borrow some from my own brainstorming below:Sight: Spring invites us to notice nature and the world around us.* Take your practice outside or read and writing with a visible view of the outdoor world. * Add a plant or flower to your reading and writing space.* Choose books, notebooks and bookish bling with Spring-like colors.Hearing: Spring invites us to listen to sounds of renewal and growth. * Read outside and listen to the birdsong or play nature-infused audio tracks while reading and writing. * Press play on a nature-themed ASMR room on YouTube.Smell: Spring invites us to embrace the scents of the blooming season. * Diffuse fruity and floral flavors in your essential oil diffuser.* Light a citrus, floral or minty candle while reading and writing. Taste: Spring invites us to explore personal flavors of joy and presence.* Choose a beverage or snack that feels like comfort and presence for you, even if not aligned to the Spring flavor profile.* Experiment with Spring flavor drinks, like flowery herbal teas or LMNT (my favorite is citrus and lemonade!).Touch: Spring invites us to ground ourselves in the physical world. * Read with your bare feet touching the grass for additional grounding. * Read with a natural stone to rub for presence.These are just a few of the ideas I'm trying in my own personal practice and I'd love to know your recommendations, too. Leave your thoughts in the comments below and let's build a restorative Spring reading and writing practice together!Here are the other episodes mentioned in the podcast:E218: Why a Personal Curriculum Isn't a Book Apothecary & Why That MattersE202: Create a Restorative Reading & Writing AltarLet's Work Together!I love to connect with others around our shared love of reading and writing.Here are some ways we can work together to create a life you love where restorative reading and writing is at the center of it all:

On this episode of Restorative Reading & Writing for Wellness, I'm sharing all the details on my personal book apothecary for April 2026.Each month, I choose a one-word theme to guide my intentions and create a book apothecary to help me breathe that word into existence through reading, writing and learning. This month, my chosen one word theme is: RELEASE.If you follow the astrological calendar, then you know we just ended the year of the snake and just entered the year of the horse. Apparently, that means we've been shedding what no longer serves us to make room for more of what does. Technically, according to the calendar, I should be done shedding by now, but I'm not. =)I'm feeling called to release old expectations, leave old routines and rituals behind and even throw out at least half of the clothes in my closet. I'm wanting to let go of old grudges, release lingering negativity and reduce inflammation in my body, too. Hence, the word RELEASE.For me, the best way to welcome a new way of thinking, feeling and being into my life is through reading and writing, paying careful attention to the books I surround myself with and the prompts I write from so I can take inspired action in my life.Here's my current book apothecary ready to help me RELEASE this month. Scroll to see the contents below and press play on the podcast episode talking all about it.Restorative Reading:The three books I've chosen focusing on three different aspects of RELEASE I'd like to explore: release in my physical body, release in my emotional mind and release in my object-filled home. Here are the books in my apothecary this month along with the publishers blurb for each of them:Healing with Somatic Yoga: A 6-Week Journey to Release Emotions, Rewire Your Nervous System, and Reclaim Your Body by Brett LarkinAmazonIn 6 weeks, learn a groundbreaking somatic system that blends the three essential models of body-based healing. Whether you crave gentle nervous system regulation, cathartic emotional release, or the healing power of self-touch, this book offers a revolutionary approach to coming home to your body—not just another collection of gentle poses.Before We Forget Kindness by Toshikazu Kawaguchi Amazon / BookshopIn the fifth book in the sensational Before the Coffee Gets Cold series translated from Japanese, the mysterious café where customers arrive hoping to travel back in time welcomes four new guests:- The father who could not allow his daughter to get married- A woman who couldn't give Valentine's Day chocolates to her loved one- A boy who wants to show his smile to his divorced parents- A wife holding a child with no name . . .They must follow the café's strict rules, however, and come back to the present before their coffee goes cold. Another moving and heartwarming tale from Toshikazu Kawaguchi, in Before We Forget Kindness our new visitors wish to go back into their past to move on their present, finding closure and comfort so they can embark on a beautiful future.They Left Us Everything: A Memoir by Plum Johnson (Amazon / Bookshop)After almost twenty years of caring for elderly parents—first for their senile father, and then for their cantankerous ninety-three-year-old mother—author Plum Johnson and her three younger brothers experience conflicted feelings of grief and relief when their mother, the surviving parent, dies.Now they must empty and sell the beloved family home, which hasn't been de-cluttered in more than half a century. Twenty-three rooms bulge with history, antiques, and oxygen tanks. Plum remembers her loving but difficult parents who could not have been more different: the British father, a handsome, disciplined patriarch who nonetheless could not control his opinionated, extroverted Southern-belle wife who loved tennis and gin gimlets. The task consumes her, becoming more rewarding than she ever imagined.Items from childhood trigger memories of her eccentric family growing up in a small town on the shores of Lake Ontario in the 1950's and 60's. But unearthing new facts about her parents helps her reconcile those relationships with a more accepting perspective about who they were and what they valued.They Left Us Everything is a funny, touching memoir about the importance of preserving family history to make sense of the past and nurturing family bonds to safeguard the future.These are the three central texts that make up my apothecary this month, but I'm always open to new suggestions and adding along the way. If you have suggestions, let me know in the comments!Plus, if you'd like to get access to my bibliotherapy book calendar embracing this theme with a book recommendation for every day of the month, join my Restorative Reading & Writing Circle here on Substack!Restorative Writing:I'm focused on two kinds of restorative writing this month: expressive and affirmative. My expressive writing practice has truly brought so much release and pain relief in the past and I'm doubling down on that practice this month. I plan to listen to my body and heart and write freely about what needs to go. If you want to learn more about this special kind of writing, listen here. Another important aspect of my writing life will focus on affirmations this month. Here's a podcast episode talking through why this kind of writing matters. For whatever reason, I have a hard time letting go of the typical way I do things and the usual way I think. I plan to write and embody this affirmation from Cathy Heller on repeat throughout the month:I trust myself to acknowledge what nourishes me and release what no longer does. I imagine I might delve into some listicle writing too: lists of things to organize, donate and toss will certainly be one of them!Curiosities to Explore for Inspired Action:Somatic yoga has been calling my name for a while and this month, I'm truly sinking into it to help me release stress and negativity from my body. Brett Larkin's book is helping me learn, explore and grow and I'll press play on one or two or ten of her somatic yoga videos, too. Here they are!I'm hoping to learn more about lymphatic release, too. This topic seems to be EVERYWHERE on social media and I want to go underneath the posts to the science and see how it might benefit my health and wellness. This isn't a curiosity, but it is something I want to do: CLEAN MY CLOSET! Out with the old, in with the new. Out with the old stories, in with the new ones. Clearing clutter is emotional and cleaning your closet is an experience I hope to tackle. Things to Love:Everything. =) I do not want my focus on RELEASE to seem negative: out with the old and in with the new. Instead, I want to embrace that theme with a loving mindset and use love as the guidepost for moving forward. I recently found this poem and cannot get it out of my mind: The Question by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer:All day, I replay these words:Is this the path of love?I think of them as I rise, asI wake my children, as I wash dishes,as I drive too close behind the slowblue Subaru, Is this the path of love?Think of these words as I stand in lineat the grocery store,think of them as I sit on the couchwith my daughter. Amazing howquickly six words become compass,the new lens through which to see myselfin the world. I notice what the question is not.Not, “Is this right?” Not,“Is this wrong?” It just longs to knowhow the action of existencelinks us to the path to love.And is it this? Is it this? All day,I let myself be led by the question.All day I let myself not be too certainof the answer. Is it this?Is this the path of love? I askas I wait for the next word to come.This poem is stunningly beautiful, isn't it?! This lens of love will guide me all month long, running parallel along with theme of RELEASE, and I hope it guides you, too. If you want more poems like these, add this book to your book apothecary this month.One more thing: Here's my aromatherapy tincture I'm creating for Spring release: 2 drops Lemon, 2 drops Lavender, 2 drops Peppermint. Heavenly.If YOU would like to build your book apothecary with me on the podcast, click here to apply!Once you've listened, I'd love to know what you think of this episode.

The conversation pivots around Ayurveda's concept of the three elemental energies - fire, earth, and air - and how understanding one's dominant element can significantly influence personalized yoga practices for improved mental and physical well-being. Larkin illustrates the impact of these elemental energies on personality traits and behaviors, suggesting specific yoga practices to balance the dominant element. For individuals with a fiery essence, characterized by ambition and leadership but prone to impatience, Larkin recommends grounding yoga practices to foster stability and calm. Similarly, for those with a dominant air energy, marked by creativity but susceptible to feeling overwhelmed, she advocates for yoga practices that emphasize grounding and stability to cultivate focus and tranquility. The podcast emphasizes the importance of recognizing one's dominant elemental energy to tailor yoga practices accordingly, addressing specific imbalances and enhancing overall well-being. Deep belly breathing and grounding techniques are spotlighted as effective methods for activating the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress, and promoting relaxation. Furthermore, the episode explores the balance of masculine and feminine energies within individuals, highlighting its significance for holistic health and personal growth. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mentalkingmindfulness/message

In today's enlightening episode of Leadership is Feminine, we delve into the exciting world of yoga, self-care, and leadership with our amazing guest, Brett Larkin, a yoga entrepreneur and new author of Yoga Life: Habits, Poses, and Breathwork to Channel Joy Amidst the Chaos. Brett credits mindset shifts that host, Kris Plachy, coached her through as crucial in her journey of managing her company and writing her book, all while navigating personal challenges. During their chat, Brett shines a light on the importance of making your yoga practice truly your own, emphasizing the critical role of awareness and breath work over prescribed poses. Kris and Brett's conversation touches on how important it is for female founders to integrate yoga into daily life, emphasizing how the practice of yoga fosters a deep connection with oneself, significantly benefiting physical and emotional health. This inspiring conversation serves as a gentle reminder to prioritize self-care, be mindful of our bodies, and understand their undeniable connection with our overall well-being. After all, as Brett emphatically puts it, “You are your most precious asset when running a business." A lot of us have resistance, especially as entrepreneurs to slowing down. Because all of a sudden there's this empty space. It's just us and our breath. We don't have a phone to distract us, and emotion comes up. But it's so important to feel that. -Brett Larkin Key Takeaways From This Episode Brett Larkin's Professional Journey and Accomplishments: Launching yoga teaching training online and managing the shift in business strategy during the pandemic The Importance of Investing in Oneself: Emphasizing the need to care for and nurture one's body as a vessel The Role of Yoga in Holistic Health and Wellness: Yoga as a form of emotional processing and introspection and the impact that has for entrepreneurs Insights into Leadership, Team Management, and Entrepreneurship: The role coaching played for Brett as she maneuvered through different aspects of her entrepreneurial journey Adaptability of Yoga: Looking at the core tenants of yoga, and being able to adapt and integrate it into big and small moments Guest Bio Brett Larkin is the founder of Uplifted Yoga® and the author of Yoga Life: Habits, Poses, and Breathwork to Channel Joy Amidst the Chaos. Her Online Yoga Teacher Trainings have set the standard for quality online certification since 2015 and matriculated thousands of yoga teachers.

Kassandra has over 2.3 million subscribers, in part because she makes her classes SO accessible. Ready to see how she does it?

Candid conversation alert! Cozy up with me and my friend Sarah Ezrin where we talk about teaching yoga, being moms and why we strengthen our nervous systems by visualizing our children falling from the monkey bars at playgrounds while performing pranayama techniques (not kidding!).  Sarah started out working in the adrenaline-fueled film industry. Then, took that “hustle energy” into her yoga teacher career, resulting in burnout. After much heartbreak and loss, she wasn't sure she ever wanted children, but now applies ancient yogic wisdom to motherhood. This is a beautiful listen for any yoga teachers, prospective parents or those with kids at home.       GUEST EXPERT: Sarah Ezrin | Buy The Yoga of Parenting book Sarah Ezrin is a world-renowned yoga educator, content creator, and mama of two boys. Sarah writes extensively on the subjects of yoga, parenting, and mental health, often interweaving these themes. She is a regular contributor for Yoga Journal Magazine, Motherly, Yoga International, Healthline, and Scary Mommy. Sarah loves guiding people along their wellness and parenthood journeys.
