On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about 6 powerful things that my therapist, Daphne Rose Kingma, taught me back when I was in my 20's and living in California - that totally changed how I relate to myself and other people.I share the story of finding an old journal from my early yoga teacher training days and the little “love note” cards Daphne wrote for me that have stayed with me for nearly 30 years.We dive into learning how to​:•​ Ask for what you need•​ Notice what you're not asking for•​ Receive love and compliments without deflecting•​ Honor rest•​ Give yourself as much as you give others•​ Have real compassion for the younger parts of you who had to grow up too fast.If you've ever put yourself last, ​are an over-giver, or ​have struggled to feel worthy of ​love and your needs, ​then this one's for you​! ❤️KAREN KENNEY BIO:Karen Kenney is a writer, speaker, podcaster, certified spiritual mentor, and coach.She's known for her dynamic storytelling, her sense of humor, her Boston accent, and her no-bullshit approach to spirituality, self​-development, and transformational change work.Karen helps people to navigate this whole “being human” experience using a variety of practical tools, personal stories, and universal principles.She's been a yoga teacher for 25+ years, has been a Thai Yoga Massage practitioner since 2008.She's also a Gateless Writing Instructor, the creator of WRITE CLUB , and the host of The Karen Kenney Show podcast.She works with clients individually in her 1-to-1 program: THE QUEST and in her HEART-TO-HEART DAY using Voxer.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about how to stop abandoning yourself.Self abandonment shows up in lots of ways, like:When you say yes when you mean no (like going out even though you're exhausted), or by people-pleasing, joy sucking perfectionism, and always putting yourself last.If you're ready to build better boundaries, deepen self-trust, and practice more self-compassion, then this episode of The Karen Kenney Show is for you. ❤️KAREN KENNEY BIO:Karen Kenney is a writer, speaker, podcaster, certified spiritual mentor, and coach.She's known for her dynamic storytelling, her sense of humor, her Boston accent, and her no-bullshit approach to spirituality, self​-development, and transformational work.Karen helps people to navigate this whole “being human” experience using a variety of resources - including practical tools, personal stories, and universal principles.She's been a yoga teacher for 25+ years, has been a Thai Yoga Massage practitioner since 2008.She's also a Gateless Writing Instructor, the creator of WRITE CLUB , and the host of The Karen Kenney Show podcast.She coaches clients individually in her 1-to-1 program: THE QUEST and in her HEART-TO-HEART DAYS using Voxer.

I recently overheard a conversation (yeah, there's no denying it - writers are serial eavesdroppers) - where someone was struggling with a previous verbal commitment they had made.They'd given their word to someone about something… but then the facts and situation changed, and they were grappling with what to do.I'm paraphrasing - but they said something like, “I gave my word, but now that relationship and person are really different.”From what I could grasp, they felt as if they'd kind of been bamboozled.And since they were a “person of their word” - cue the psychological turmoil and suffering.I could practically feel the mental wringing of their hands in my own body.Look, I really do my best not to offer unsolicited advice or coaching to total strangers - so I kept my big mouth shut - but I still thought it was worth talking about with you!

Do you ever just catch yourself feeling a little extra cranky, nitpicky, or just sort of over it… even though nothing is technically wrong?Yeah, me too.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about what it really means to make a positive contribution in your life - especially when you're feeling stuck, scared, or like you're falling behind.I share a little bit about working on my memoir and why author Ryan Holiday says that chasing word or page counts can backfire, and how shifting to small, doable daily actions can change everything.We revisit Kaizen (continuous improvement through tiny steps), and I show you how to apply the concept in your writing, money, fitness, relationships, and spiritual practice. It can help even when you only have 5 or 10 minutes!I also pull in some wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita, A Course in Miracles, and some of my favorite teachers to remind you that no sincere effort is ever wasted!If you're tired of your own (or others) “all-or-nothing” thinking and want a more compassionate, sustainable way to grow…Then this episode will help you start making positive contributions today, from exactly where you are and with exactly what you've got to give. ❤️KAREN KENNEY BIO:Karen Kenney is a writer, speaker, podcaster, certified spiritual mentor, and coach.She's known for her dynamic storytelling, her sense of humor, her Boston accent, and her no-bullshit approach to spirituality, self​-development, and transformational work.Karen helps people to navigate this whole “being human” experience using practical tools, universal principles and stories, and a variety of resources.KK has been a yoga teacher for 25+ years, has been giving Thai Yoga Massage since 2008, and began teaching it in 2015.She's also a Gateless Writing Instructor, the creator of WRITE CLUB, and host of The Karen Kenney Show podcast.She coaches clients individually in her 1:1 program THE QUEST and via her HEART-TO-HEART DAYS using Voxer.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about why simply showing up for the people you love - matters more than you might think.I share the story of my first-ever art exhibition (eeeek!), the friends who showed up to surprise me there (“We got you, Motherfucker!”

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about the powerful difference between sympathy, empathy, and compassion and why it matters in how we move through the world.I share a personal story about my mixed media art piece that I created for “The Mothership” Exhibition - in honor of my mother on the 45th anniversary of her murder - and how watching strangers interact with my work revealed, in real time, the shift from sympathy to empathy and beyond.We explore:- How sympathy creates distance- How empathy helps us feel ‘with' someone- How compassion asks, “How can I help?” and moves us to actI also offer a few simple ways you can start building your own compassion muscle - for others, yourself, animals, and for all the beings that may be suffering in this wild world we're all sharing.KAREN KENNEY BIO:Karen Kenney is a writer, speaker, podcaster, certified spiritual mentor, and coach.She's known for her dynamic storytelling, her sense of humor, her Boston accent, and her no-bullshit approach to spirituality, self​-development, and transformational work.Karen helps people to navigate this whole “being human” experience using practical tools, universal principles and stories, and a variety of resources.KK has been a yoga teacher for 25+ years, has been giving Thai Yoga Massage since 2008, and began teaching it in 2015.She's also a Gateless Writing Instructor, the creator of Write Club, and the host of The Karen Kenney Show podcast.She coaches clients individually in her 1:1 program THE QUEST and via her HEART-TO-HEART DAYS using Voxer.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about what it really looks like to say yes before you're ready… even when your nervous system is wanting to hold out for certainty.I share the wild, kismet kind of story of how I unexpectedly ended up invited into my very first art show, “The Mothership,” and why I said yes - even though I had no piece made, no plan in place, and a whole lot of self-doubt.I walk you through the magic of following the red threads of connection, trusting your Spiritual Team on the Job (STOTJ), and letting ideas rise up from that quiet, liminal space between sleeping and waking… dreaming and doing.I also share how Bob Ross has been my gentle creative companion in this whole process -and- read you some of his simple but powerful wisdom that's been helping me calm the inner critic and keep on creating.If you've been feeling the nudge to write, make art, start something new, or stretch outside your comfort zone…But you've been waiting to feel “ready”- then this one's a little encouraging love letter from my creative heart to yours. ❤️KAREN KENNEY BIO:Karen Kenney is a writer, speaker, podcaster, certified spiritual mentor, and coach.She's known for her dynamic storytelling, her sense of humor, her Boston accent, and her no-bullshit approach to spirituality, self​-development, and transformational work.Karen helps people to navigate this whole “being human” experience using practical tools, universal principles and stories, and a variety of resources.KK has been a yoga teacher for 25+ years, has been giving Thai Yoga Massage since 2008, and began teaching it in 2015.She's also a Gateless Writing Instructor, and host of The Karen Kenney Show podcast.She coaches clients individually in her 1:1 program THE QUEST and via her HEART-TO-HEART DAYS using Voxer.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about what it really looks like to show up for yourself and others even when you don't feel like it.I share how a “meh” start to my morning turned into both a strength training workout and a new podcast episode!It was also a reminder of the exponential impact and importance of keeping our word to ourselves and how that decision builds self-trust, self-discipline, and an identity of being “the kind of person who” follows through.If we can create some consistency and build some momentum - especially on the days when we'd rather be whiny, make excuses, or bail…It will not only empower and encourage us to keep going - it will also improve our personal and professional relationship with others!KAREN KENNEY BIO:Karen Kenney is a writer, speaker, podcaster, certified spiritual mentor, and coach.She's known for her dynamic storytelling, her sense of humor, her Boston accent, and her no-bullshit approach to spirituality, self​-development, and transformational work.Karen helps people to navigate this whole “being human” experience using practical tools, universal principles and stories, and a variety of resources.KK has been a yoga teacher for 25+ years, has been giving Thai Yoga Massage since 2008, and began teaching it in 2015.She's also a Gateless Writing Instructor, and host of The Karen Kenney Show podcast.She coaches clients individually in her 1:1 program THE QUEST and via her HEART-TO-HEART DAYS using Voxer.

The thing is, sometimes being all up close and cozy is where it's at - and ​sometimes what we need to do consider is if it makes more sense to go ​"no contact​" for a while.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about why it's so important to stop believing everyone else's opinions and to start finding out for yourself what rings true for you.I share some wicked funny and surprising stories from a recent “experiment” I did selling my stuff online.I dive into how these real-life encounters with total strangers reminded me that people are far more complex, interesting, and kind than the internet (and our assumptions) make them out to be!I also invite you to get curious about some of the beliefs you've inherited - maybe from your family, our culture, and even the so-called online “experts”...And to consider how your life might change in wonderful ways if you trusted your own discernment, direct experience, and big beautiful human heart a whole lot more. ❤️BIO:Karen Kenney is a writer, speaker, podcaster, certified spiritual mentor, and coach.She's known for her dynamic storytelling, her sense of humor, her Boston accent, and her no-bullshit approach to spirituality, self​-development, and transformational work.Karen helps people to navigate this whole “being human” experience using practical tools, universal principles and stories, and a variety of resources.KK has been a yoga teacher for 25+ years, has been giving Thai Yoga Massage since 2008, and began teaching it in 2015.She's also a Gateless Writing Instructor, and host of The Karen Kenney Show podcast.She coaches clients individually in her 1:1 program THE QUEST and via her HEART-TO-HEART DAYS using Voxer.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about the power of enough - the radical, life-changing shift that happens when we stop chasing the elusive “more-more-more” and start recognizing and appreciating what we already have.I share one of my favorite stories from Kurt Vonnegut about Joseph Heller, and how Heller's one line, “I've got something he can never have… the knowledge that I've got enough,” has stayed with me for years!We dive into a little wisdom from the Stoics, the yogic​ principle of ​Santosha (contentment), and discuss how our endless comparisons and cravings can leave us feeling spiritually and emotionally impoverished, even if we've got a bunch of buckaroonies $$$ in our bank account.I also invite you to find your own “Goldilocks” level of enough-ess and to notice if a lack of gratitude might be keeping you unsatiated and unsatisfied.I also share a simple 5-minute Gratitude Visualization practice to start shifting how you see yourself and your life. It's amazing what a few “Thank you's” can do!If you've ever felt like who you are, what you have, or where you're at is never quite enough…This episode is an invitation to pause, to take ​some personal inventory, and to remember that you're already way more “enough” than you've been led to believe. ❤️KAREN KENNEY BIO:Karen Kenney is a writer, speaker, podcaster, certified spiritual mentor, and coach.She's known for her dynamic storytelling, her sense of humor, her Boston accent, and her no-bullshit approach to spirituality, self​-development, and transformational work.Karen helps people to navigate this whole “being human” experience using practical tools, universal principles and stories, and a variety of resources.KK has been a yoga teacher for 25+ years, has been giving Thai Yoga Massage since 2008, and began teaching it in 2015.She's also a Gateless Writing Instructor, and host of The Karen Kenney Show podcast.She coaches clients individually in her 1:1 program THE QUEST and via her HEART-TO-HEART DAYS using Voxer.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about what I'm calling ​"your own personal Fight Club​" – that private, often silent battle that every single one of us is d​ucking, bobbing, and weaving and sometimes still getting knocked on our ass by.I share a wicked ​​familiar driving story (​u​se your feckin' blinkah'!!!​

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about why you can't explain yourself to everybody all the time and how trying to do so, will just wear you the heck out!I also share how the tendency to over explain is often rooted in a fear of being misunderstood, and yet our words often get filtered through other people's history, trauma, beliefs, and stories long before they land anyway.Which means that the "message sent is almost never the message received.”We dive into why some of us became over-explainers and people pleasers in the first place -and I tell a few personal stories about choosing to do what I knew deep down inside was right for me - even though I couldn't fully explain it to others - and I knew that those other people wouldn't like it.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about what it means to live with the consequences of being yourself… the good, the bad, and the kinda' messy in-between.I share how so much of my work with others and my life was/is about learning how to own our brilliance and our bullshit.So, we take a look at how our past conditioning, familiar patterns, and played out stories often shape how we show up in the world - sometimes for the better and sometime for the so not soothing worse.I also get into why a Daily Spiritual Practice (DSP) can be the difference between going out into the world inspired - versus - going out and inflicting yourself on other people.Through real-life examples, I invite you to take an honest look at the wake you're leaving behind you each day and ask, “Am I making a contribution to society right now, or am I being a bit of a menace?”And if you don't dig the answer, maybe this is your friendly invitation to start getting curious, be honest, and choose again.❤️KAREN KENNEY BIO:Karen Kenney is a writer, podcaster, certified spiritual mentor, and coach.She's known for her dynamic storytelling, her sense of humor, her Boston accent, and her no-bullshit approach to spirituality, self-development, and transformational work.She's been a yoga teacher since 1999, and a Thai Yoga Massage practitioner since 2008.She's also a speaker, a certified Gateless Writing Instructor, and host of The Karen Kenney Show podcast.She works with clients individually in her 1:1 program THE QUEST and in her HEART-TO-HEART DAYS via Voxer.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about regret.You know, the stuff we wish we hadn't done, the chances we never took, and the future regret we can possibly prevent - if we're willing to get honest and take some action.I break down these three types of regret and share how a little self-awareness, self-forgiveness, and courage can help us make peace with the past and do better moving forward!I also share how I'm using this in my own life as I write my book and invite you to look at what you don't want to regret later on, too… whether it's a relationship, a dream, a creative project, or how you're showing up in the world.My hope is that this episode will help you to start writing a kinder, truer, more beautiful chapter in your own life story - one conscious choice, one brave step, and one prevented regret at a time. ❤️KAREN KENNEY BIO:Karen Kenney is a writer, podcaster, certified spiritual mentor and coach.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk with author, spiritual intuitive, oracle expert, and artist Colette Baron-Reid about her new book - The Art of Manifesting: A Meditative Drawing Practice to Rewire Your Brain and Create Your Reality.We discuss Colette's AM Method (Art of Manifesting ) - which uses doodles, circles, lines, and gratitude bubbles - and how it brings together the power of neuroscience, spirituality, and creativity in a practical, grounded, and embodied way!These are beginner friendly and simple practices that can also help you to regulate your nervous system, rewire your brain, and release anxiety. Yay!Plus, they can open you up to synchronicity by teaching you a new way to co-create with the Universe and participate in a life that feels meaningful, aligned, and full of wonder!We also unpack why some of the old-school ways that manifestation has been talked about and taught can feel suspiciously off, and how Colette's approach offers a more intuitive, heart-centered, and playful path.If you've ever felt skeptical about all this manifestation stuff, have struggled with anxiety, perfectionism, or just holding on a little too tight to the way you think things should look…This episode will give you a new perspective on co-creation and introduce you to some wicked fun tools that you'll be so excited to use! ❤️COLETTE BARON-REID BIO:Colette Baron-Reid is an internationally respected author of 8 books, an educator, a spiritual intuitive and medium, and an oracle expert.She's published 19 Oracle Decks that have sold over 2 million copies and her best-selling books and oracle cards are published worldwide in 27 languages.She is the founder of Oracle School, a global online learning platform with students in 35 countries, where self-empowerment, co-creation, and ancient oracles meet in a modern, contemporary way.Colette is also the creator of the energy psychology technique Invision - The Total Mindshift Process.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about what it really means to be “in the commitment business.”I share some stories about yoga classes, Spiritual Mentoring, and my Sweetie's life as a professional musician to illustrate the difference between being committed to the idea of change -vs- taking the gosh-dang consistent actions that actually create it!We'll look at human nature, the psychology of commitment, and how places like Planet Fitness - and personal items, like unused guitars, and dusty yoga mats - reveal what we're committed to (or not). Ha!I also invite you to take an honest look at your life and ask, “What am I committed to this year?”, so you can align your time, energy, and resources with what truly matters most.You'll hear one of my favorite quotes about commitment (it's a good one!), learn why I always say, “The Universe can't get behind wishy-washy”…And we get to consider the magical notion that when we fully commit - Providence often opens unforeseen doors, and provides people, support, and opportunities that we never could have planned for or dreamed of. ❤️KAREN KENNEY BIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Podcaster and Coach.She's known for her dynamic storytelling, her sense of humor, her Boston accent, and her no-bullshit approach to spirituality, self-development, and transformational work.She's has been a yoga teacher since 1999, and a Thai Yoga Massage practitioner since 2008.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about how important it is to think for yourself - especially in the age of influencers, grifters, and bro-science “experts” - including those being revealed in the Epstein files.I share a little modern-day PSA about being on the lookout for online scams, shady spiritual teachers, coaching programs with “culty” vibes, and podcasters who try to sell us an image, rather than the truth.I add in a favorite Bruce Lee quote about how a “good teacher protects you from their own influence” and will do their best to keep pointing you back to your own Inner Teacher, intuition, discernment, and critical thinking!You'll hear why we've gotta' trust our gut, notice the red flags, and stop giving our power away just because someone is good at marketing, has a wicked big platform, or has published a bestselling book.My hope is that this episode encourages you to unfollow what feels off, ask better questions, and surround yourself with a few trusted people who will lovingly point out your blind spotsMost of all, I want you to remember that you already have an internal guidance system that's pretty damn smart… and it's OK - when we learn new information - to say, “I made a mistake. I was wrong,” then course-correct, and choose better for yourself going forward. ❤️KAREN KENNEY BIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Podcaster and Coach.She's known for her dynamic storytelling, her sense of humor, her Boston accent, and her no-bullshit approach to spirituality, self-development, and transformational work.She's has been a yoga teacher since 1999, and a Thai Yoga Massage practitioner since 2008.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about what it feels like to be alive in a world that seems like it's on fire - the grief, fear, anger, overwhelm and helplessness so many people are carrying.I connect the dots between abusive power and how those in power benefit from keeping us exhausted, distracted, and in despair.I also remind us that “they've always killed the helpers” - from Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. to the modern-day helpers in the streets - and why that makes our presence and courage even more necessary, not less.We talk about nervous system regulation, breathing practices, EFT / Tapping, “rest as resistance”, spiritual practices, and Stoic principles like focusing on what is and isn't in our control.I share practical tools for resourcing ourselves so we can be effective helpers instead of burned-out bystanders and I walk through simple ways to calm your body and mind - so you're not operating from fear, but from a more grounded, loving, and powerful place.I wrap things up by inviting you to honestly explore your role and capacity: Are you an ally, an advocate, or an activist? Are you a citizen, reformer, rebel, or change agent?Mostly, I encourage you to ask yourself about your unique talents, experience, and gifts and how they might be used for good right now - “What can I actually do with who I am,, what I know, and what I have?”Whether that's speaking up, donating, organizing, making phone calls, creating art, caring for your neighbors, or quietly holding space.At the heart of it all is a spiritual call: “Please use me. May I be in service to love.” ❤️KAREN KENNEY BIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Podcaster and Coach.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about how our actions are the true voice of our heart.I share some real-life stories about human kindness, integrity, character, and choosing to do the right thing.Like the stranger who owned up to dinging my car, and the “dressing room angel” who helped me get ready for a funeral during an extra hard week, and my old childhood friend who remembered me as the kid who always shared her snacks!Together, we look at how our everyday actions reveal way more about the content of our character, than any fancy-schmancy spiritual talk ever could.The big takeaway and reminder from this episode for me - is that we all have countless chances every day to “do the right thing, right now”.So, I invite us all to listen to our Inner Teacher - that gentle voice of the heart - and let our behaviors and choices reflect who we truly are. ❤️KAREN KENNEY BIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Podcaster, and Coach.She's known for her dynamic storytelling, her sense of humor, her Boston accent, and her no-bullshit approach to spirituality, self-development, and transformational work.She's been a yoga teacher since 1999, and a Thai Yoga Massage practitioner since 2008.She's also a speaker, workshop + retreat leader, and a Certified Gateless Writing Instructor.

In this episode Matt and I chat over how years of using and abusing his body eventually led him to yoga where he explored his curiosity for understanding his unique path to feeling better. About Matt Yoga instructor Matt Giordano gives credit to an influential figure from his teenage years – his high school art teacher – for sparking within him the curiosity and tenacity that eventually led him to yoga. It was Eileen Walk who told Giordano, “You are not allowed to say ‘I can't.' You must rephrase to a question: ‘How?'” That inquisitive and unrelenting spirit laid the foundation for Matt to begin a devoted yoga practice. When coupled with his passion to understand the physics and subtle alignment of the body, Matt's dharma as a teacher came into focus. Originally from Sea Cliff, Long Island, Giordano spent 7 years developing his teaching style while living in Manhattan, where he taught at local studios (Pure NYC, Equinox). Matt now travels internationally to teach his signature technique-based style of yoga, educating yoga students on how to use their bodies in a profound and life-changing way. Well known for his ability to guide students deeply into postures with his refined attention to detail and precise action cues, Giordano is an adept guide for students of all levels at festivals, workshops, and in his weekly studio classes. His study of biomechanics and integrative mind-body techniques informs his teaching, as he draws upon wisdom from traditions of yoga, martial arts (Aikido and Tae Kwon Do), acrobatics, AcroYoga, and Thai Yoga Massage. Matt is known to inspire humble confidence, allowing students to find ease while expanding the edge of their comfort zones. In 2016, Matt created and founded an international school of yoga that focuses on community, growth and authentic teaching, and he hosts trainings each year out of his home in northwest Connecticut. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Learn More with Matt:Matt Giordano website Matt's YouTube Matt's Instagram ----------------------------------------------------------------- My Socials:   ⁠Celest's Instagram⁠ ⁠Celest's Website ⁠ ⁠Too Flexible To Feel Good Book

Táto epizóda je rozprávaním o Ashtanga joge očami jednej z prvých ľudí, ktorí túto krásnu jogovú prax priniesli na Slovensko. Natália Bogdaliková, alebo Nati - ako ju každý pozná, prvýkrát vyskúšala Ashangu v Lisabone v 2006 a o tri roky neskôr už v Bratislave predstavila toto cvičenie hŕstke prvých nadšencov. Mnoho času strávila v indickom Mysore - kolíske Ashtangy, kde sa vzdelávala u rôznych tamojších učiteľov, ale najmä u súčasného paramaguru (držiteľa línie) tradičnej Ashtanga jogy, Sharatha Joisa. S Nati sa porozprávame o mnohých (častokrát kontroverzných) nálepkách Ashtangy, ktoré ju sprevádzajú odnepamäti a v čom spočíva jej obrovský potenciál liečiť, ale za určitých okolností aj škodiť. Nati je tiež držiteľkou učiteľskej autorizácie pre AcroYogu a venuje sa liečebným technikám ako Thai Yoga Massage a kraniosakrálna terapia. Nati nájdete na www.lotusjoga.sk.

  For today's episode, we talk with Jonn, the founder and owner of Body Curious.     Following an accident, Jonn was left with 15% whole body permanent impairment. However, through a combination of rehabilitation and yoga, he was able to restore his body function. This inspired him to create Body Curious in 2014, a men's only yoga studio committed to improving health outcomes for men. He is a qualified Yoga, Thai Yoga Massage teacher & Practitioner, and a Sexological Bodywork Practitioner.    Early on, Jonn realised that his studio was attracting more men than women. So, with this information, he decided to focus on men.     This opportunity to cater to only men brought about the first of his now many Naked Yoga sessions. His 1st class of Naked Yoga was attended by 20 naked men.     In case you're wondering, yes, naked – meaning complete, pure natural bodies showing.     Jonn also talked about his sexological work, how it works, why it's different from the others, and what it can and can't do.     Interestingly, the discussion also touched upon personal pleasure, why it's important to understand how to explore yourself and how to teach children about this quite taboo but important topic.     How early should a child use a cellular phone? What happens if they get exposed to porn? When is the best time to discuss sex and pleasure with them? Why is it important to let children know that they should not be ashamed of pleasure? And so many more compelling topics that we know you'll surely relate to.     Listen to the exchanges between Jonn, Melissa, and Dr Jo through the button below.

Research shows that Humans don't simply want touch; we need it. When we don't get enough positive human touch, we can develop a condition called touch deprivation, which can increase stress, anxiety, and depression and lead to numerous additional negative physiological effects.  As a response to stress, your body makes a hormone called cortisol. This can cause your heart rate, blood pressure, muscle tension, and breathing rate to go up, which in turn negatively effects your immune and digestive systems.  Individuals who go without positive physical touch for a long period can even suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.      Today on Discovering True Health we are going to learn about how Thai yoga therapy massage can be a powerful tool in trauma recovery and the healing process. We'll also learn about what the cycle of trauma is and how how trauma can get trapped in our mind and body.   And we'll be discussing what touch literacy is and the biological importance of human contact.  And the negative impacts of our touch-deprived society which have been exasperated with the pandemic.  My guest  is Drew Hume, Founder and Director of Navina, a Thai Yoga Therapy School based out of Costa Rica.    At his school he educates his students on the physical forms of Thai Massage, touch-literacy,  and human biology. And his broader mission is to ensure that as a culture, we become more touch-literate and help dissolve the culturally ingrained habits that have been spread out of the fear of touch.    Contact Drew Hume: https://navina.ca/   Instagram: @drewhume   Stay In Touch with Us!

Every massage therapist has wondered at some point WHY their client disappeared never to return. Everyone who has ever had high hopes for getting a decent massage has sadly been disappointed (or dare I say it - HURT) at least once. Then there are some therapists who find their business becoming so successful they cant cope with the rapid influx of clients. And others who have got unbelievably long standing relationships with their clients for one reason alone.In this weeks episode we are talking WELLNESS in a deep sense of the word. For many years it has been my passion to raise the standards of massage. I have been injured too many times (broken ligaments and ribs as an example) by well meaning but poorly trained practitioners.  It was clear they had  gone down the cheap and fast route to being qualified (and nearly got themselves sued as a result).  As a teacher with over 3 decades of experience what I can do is help create a new narrative and prevent harm in our industry. I believe wellness starts with the therapist being well (not straining or burning out) and the client having a tailored treatment that makes them snore and dribble. Why right  now is THE time to become a massage therapist - adding  to your skills so you can seamlessly grow a client base of super fansMy personal journey  - from abuse and drug taking - to being the founder of London Institute of Thai Yoga Massage and a published author I also talk candidly about abuse and trauma and the charity work I have done over the years to support clients in hospitals in tragic circumstancesI am sure if you are in the wellness industry you have your own journey connecting you to your WHY and my hope is that this episode will inspire you to go deeper - this world needs more healers and therapists right now Finally, I teach you a little about the 5 Buddhist elements covering some basics about what might be your element type - water, fire or wind and HOW Thai Massage therapists can tailor treatments to suit you so you never have to experience the pain of wasting your money on a treatment againAfter listening to this episode, remember to come over to Instagram and DM me to tell me where you are stuck right now (this could be anywhere in your life and business).To download my 12 simple steps to fully booked in 10 days click hereAbout Natasha:Natasha de Grunwald is a subconscious transformation coach, a mentor, a teacher, trainer, breathwork facilitator and a Mum to a 19 year old daughter.

Natural Awakenings By Isabelle Muscat Maybe you've heard of Reiki but don't quite know what it is. Perhaps you're considering Reiki but aren't sure whether it's right for you. Whatever your questions, Isabelle Muscat is here to help. She walks team Vamp through the basics of Reiki - a safe, gentle, non-invasive form of natural hands-on, energy-based healing - and what it can do for your body. In 2007, Isabelle first introduced herself to the world of Health and Holistic Wellness when passing through a challenging period in her life. Her passion in the subject continued to evolve when she met a special Reiki master who mentored her all the way into energy healing. After going through a separation, her life turned into another direction, and when her parents were diagnosed with several health issues. The challenges and emotional turmoil throughout this period were many. Thankfully, Isabelle was given an opportunity to visit Bali, where she met an extraordinary Guru, named Prabhu Darmayasa, from the Divine Live Society in Indonesia, Bali, in 2011, where she was introduced to the art of Angka Meditation. After this transformational visit, Isabelle expanded her knowledge in mindfulness and various energy healing practices such as Reiki, Indian Head Massage, Hopi Ear Candle Therapy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Non-Medical Nutrition, Therapeutic Massage Treatments, Thai Yoga Massage, YOGA and YOGA teacher training. What is Reiki? Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands”, based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us. If one's “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. The word Reiki has two meanings, Rei is the Universal Life Force Energy that is the spark in every atom of the universe. Ki (in Chinese it is referred to as “Chi” & Prana in Sanskrit] is our Vital Life Force. The free and balanced flow of Ki is the cause of good health. Ki flows within the physical body through pathways called meridians and around us in a field of energy called the aura. Ki nourishes the organs and cells of the body, supporting vital functions. A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person, including body emotions, mind and spirit, creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security, and wellbeing. How did you come to discover Reiki? I discovered Reiki when I was following the Non-Medical Nutrition course, where I met my Reiki Master, who guided me throughout this beautiful therapy. She taught me how to master reiki and how to use reiki to cope with daily life challenges. Has it changed you and your practice? Reiki has undoubtedly changed me in many ways. It has been and still forms part of my spiritual development, and I long daily to use and share this healing therapy in my daily life and therapeutic practice. Nowadays, I add this treatment into one of my services, especially where I access that a client requires further emotional support and healing apart from physical treatment. Have you seen it make a difference to people? I have seen many beautiful souls heal and change; this is one of my greatest accomplishments, especially feeling people's aura evolve throughout the sessions. Reiki does not change the person during the session only, but every single day until the person decides otherwise for one reason or another. What would you say to those that are sceptical of such practices? “Have you tried this therapy? If yes, what was your experience? If no, I suggest you try it out before you decide and will look forward to your feedback afterwards.” I believe every person can be sceptical to any treatment, not just Reiki. However, when a person is ready for a change, either physical or emotional, the practiti

While Tucker has taught and studied throughout the United States and around the world, from New Zealand to India to Mexico, he currently lives in Asheville, NC. We talk about Tucker's upbringing in the Episcopal church and how he eventually found a deeper connection to ritual through practicing and teaching yoga. We compare the meaning behind yoga to other religions and discuss how he presents and identifies as a queer person on his yoga mat. Tucker also helps us begin to unpack what the word "yoga" really means and how the practice of yoga is often misappropriated in our culture today. Tucker identifies as gender non-binary and uses he, she, and they pronouns interchangeably. Find Tucker at tuckeryoga.com and on Instagram @tucker_yoga.

On today's episode I'm very excited  to introduce you to Erin Telford who was my first ever breathwork teacher and is a person that I honour, admire, respect, and I'm very inspired by. We cover so much ground and talk about so many different subjects such as what do we hold sacred,  grief,  spirit and finding what it is that connects us rather than separates us. Erin is passionate about using her voice and this comes across beautifully.I would love to hear your thoughts about this episode and don't forget to leave me a review and rating if you loved it.  About Erin:Erin Telford is a Breathwork facilitator, teacher trainer, intuitive guide and space holder.  She began her healing career over a decade ago as an acupuncturist, Chinese herbalist and Reiki Master.  Her work guides people to look within, open their hearts and heal their relationship with themselves.  Her group sessions, trainings and retreats empower her clients to connect to their innate wisdom so that they can find the healing and the answers that exist inside within their bodies and spirits. Erin believes that we all hold core wounds and limiting beliefs that subconsciously run our lives.  When we somatically release them from the emotional body and the nervous system, there is freedom on the other side.  Our emotions are messengers with information that let us know where to direct our healing and compassion.  By de-stigmatizing emotions and the human experience, we can take shame off the table and start to really deal with what's under the depression, anxiety, and patterns that keep us contracted.   She has created Breathwork experiences for Free People, the Soul Cycle/Soul Legends retreat, In goop Health NYC and Wanderlust Festival.  Her work has been featured in Forbes, Shape Magazine, Vogue, Nylon, and NY Magazine. She currently resides in Topanga Canyon and is writing her first book.Website: https://erintelford.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/erintelford__About Natasha:Natasha de Grunwald is a subconscious transformation coach, a mentor, a teacher, trainer, breathwork facilitator and a Mum to a 19 year old daughter.

In today's episode I speak to Delroy who shares with us his journey through drug addiction, the 12 step program and prison to find peace and breathwork on the other side. He is truly inspirational showing what self exploration and being open can truly do for you. I was thrilled to meet him at a recent festival where I heard him speak and knew that I had to bring his message to the listeners of this podcast. About Delroy:I came from a loving but dysfunctional family. I used drink and drugs to cover up feelings of emotional pain then there was the added bonus I loved the way they made me feel. I ended up in prison aged 19 then my world started to get smaller. I ended up homeless for many years getting arrested another 54 times which ended in 16 prison sentences.On my last sentence, 8 years in the drugs stopped numbing my emotional pain and I hated the way they made me feel. I got some help and then started to help myself.I ended up "Finding Peace in Prison".I only needed to change one thing and that was everything about myself!Contact Delroy at abundance270672@gmail.com About Natasha:Natasha de Grunwald is a subconscious transformation coach, a mentor, a teacher, trainer, breathwork facilitator and a Mum to a 19 year old daughter.

It is a calm place in Jeevanahalli, where Cyriac Joseph and Roshni Davidson are practitioners of Thai yoga massage at the School of Thai Yoga Massage. “It is a combination of Thai massage, acupressure, and yoga. When you do yoga yourself, you may not be able to stretch as much as you will when someone pushes your body. Combined with a good massage this is a great stress buster,” explains Cyriac, the trained instructor.   Company Profile Link: https://www.startupsteroid.com/founder?founderUserId=792D280E-3528-4295-8D50-D03001BCC418

On this episode Michael talks to Matt Giordano about his journey with yoga and his personal inspirations, as well as discussing best practice and support for teachers who are moving their students out of the studio and into the digital world. Matt travels internationally to teach Chromatic Yoga, a systematic approach to teaching that provides a highly intentional and well structured experience for students to cultivate awareness of their body and mind. Matt is known for his ability to guide students deeply into postures with his refined attention to detail and precise action cues, teaching at festivals, workshops and in his weekly studio classes. His study of biomechanics and integrative mind-body techniques inform his teaching, as he draws upon wisdom from traditions of yoga, martial arts (Aikido and Tae Kwan Do), acrobatics, AcroYoga and Thai Yoga Massage.
