You can also catch our insightful interview on YouTube. Bio: Kelly Smith I'm the founder of Yoga For You, and the host of the Mindful in Minutes podcast. I'm an E-RYT 500, YACEP, and a location independent yoga and meditation teacher. I believe that there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to yoga and meditation, and your practice should be as unique as you are.  ​I began practice yoga when I was middle school as a form of cross training for my sports, but it wasn't until I was 16 and my world was rocked by my mom's breast cancer diagnoses, and being trust into the role of primary caregiver at such a young age that I realized that yoga and meditation had the ability to heal, save, and get you through your darkest days. ​The week after I graduated college I enrolled in my first yoga teacher training, and haven't looked back since. Over the past 7 years I've dedicated myself to the practice and my students, taught over 5,000 hours, led trainings and retreats all over the world, and began sharing my personal guided meditations on my podcast, Mindful in Minutes.  I love to lift people up through their tough times, and help them find their true north by focusing on the less physical yoga practices like meditation, yoga nidra, restorative yoga and mindful flows. I believe there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach and the secret to success is finding what works for you. ​I created Yoga For You, a location independent yoga and meditation school to serve students and teachers all over the globe that are ready to take the step and find the joyful life they deserve. I spend my days traveling globally offering trainings in restorative yoga, meditation, yoga nidra and recording meditations from my closet. ​If you're curious about my story you can hear it in my own words on this special episode of my podcast. ​Website: https://www.yogaforyouonline.com/   Teri's #1 book as a new-release in the Aging Parents category: https://a.co/d/5m1j2Kr Teri's audiobooks: https://www.audible.com/search?searchNarrator=Teri+Wellbrock&ref=a_pd_The-Be_c1_narrator_1&pf_rd_p=df6bf89c-ab0c-4323-993a-2a046c7399f9&pf_rd_r=B7A6GV5QNZFF621RXWP4&pageLoadId=lXhpwTs0D4YwhCM8&creativeId=16015ba4-2e2d-4ae3-93c5-e937781a25cd Teri's monthly newsletter: https://us18.campaign-archive.com/?u=8265f971343b0f411b871aba1&id=1352bd63df Teri's book launch team: https://www.facebook.com/groups/unicornshadows   AMAZON AFFILIATE Teri Wellbrock and Unicorn Shadows are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

Protect your peace with Mindfulness ☮️Namaste

Let's go on a journey of Self-Love! With this 15+ day prompt, we can begin with focus! Namaste

Samskaras are thought of as patterns, mental impressions, recollections, or physiological imprints. In yoga philosophy, it is believed that every action or intent creates a samskara in a person's mind. These samskaras then live in a person and manifest as tendencies, karmic impulses, or dispositions throughout their life.Namaste

This is one of my favorite mantras, repeating “Be the Love” whilst meditating reminds me to just be. Sometimes we don't feel seen or loved. Forgetting that love isn't a gift. It just is. You can't control it. Just let Love Be and just Be the Love.

In this episode, Tara Eschenroeder delves into the concept of "rewilding" as a return to our natural, instinctual state of being. She defines rewilding as reconnecting with the innate wisdom within us, much like how trees grow or fireflies communicate effortlessly. Tara shares her practices for rediscovering this inner compass, including journaling, movement, discussion, and time in nature, all aimed at peeling back layers of societal conditioning and distraction. She emphasizes the role of childlike play and curiosity as pathways to reconnect with our wild, intuitive selves, drawing inspiration from the way children approach life with imagination and openness.The episode also explores the importance of acknowledging and transforming inherited generational patterns, finding balance between disciplined practices and devotion to one's higher self, and embracing community as a space for authentic connection and growth. Tara's insights inspire listeners to embrace curiosity, rediscover their wildness, and live with greater authenticity and joy.--Tara (Becky) Eschenroeder is a 500-hour E-RYT, RCYT, YACEP, certified coach, self-published author, and an inspiring yogi recognized among the top three yoga instructors by Richmond Magazine.

Rachel Friedman, MSW, ERYT 500, YACEP, is the founder of Beyond The Yoga Mat, and Soma Power Yoga where she helps people learn how to elevate their life through the power of yoga and somatics. She supports yoga facilitators, therapists, coaches, and healers in growing their biz and their impact. She believes our bodies hold the wisdom and medicine we need to heal and live an incredible human experience — one where we learn to feel all emotions. Within her 25+ years in the wellness industry, Rachel has seen hundreds of people change their relationship with themselves through the power of yoga & somatics (aka - body-based healing). Like many people, Rachel struggled with high-functioning anxiety for many years. On the outside everything appeared "good.' She had her own business, 2 great kids, and a husband. But inside it felt like at any moment everything was going to come crashing down. She was a tight ball of anxiety. Overthinking, overanalyzing everything. Struggling to get a good night's sleep, feeling completely exhausted and burnt out. Thinking that if she could just escape for a short amount of time everything would be ok. But even after a vacation, the feeling didn't go away. It wasn't until Rachel learned how to tune into her body using yoga & somatic practices that she was able to change the relationship she had with herself and her anxiety. Instead of trying to make the anxiety go away, she learned how to UnShame it and use its energy to enhance her life. Now Rachel feels so fortunate that she gets to pass these tools down to you!

Danielle Dulsky shares her new book Bones & Honey: A Heathen Prayer Book. Heathen is another word for dweller of the hearth. This devotional book is filled with prayers, stories, and poetry inspired by nature and paganism. It offers a way to heal from modernity using spiritual nourishment, spellwork, and eco-devotional language. You can read it slowly or all at once, and it's perfect for anyone seeking daily spiritual inspiration. In her book "Bones & Honey," Danielle Dulsky delves into the growing trend of people embracing a slower, more mindful way of living that is rooted in sustainability and a deep connection with the Earth. Through the exploration of thirteen archetypes and their corresponding themes, such as the Mountain Mage (representing solitude), the Bone-Witch (symbolizing grief), the Heathen Queen (embodying empowerment), and the Shepherd (reflecting nurturing), Dulsky invites readers to embark on a journey towards the "third road"- a path that emerges from the tension between opposing forces. With its rich symbolism and insightful wisdom, "Bones & Honey" offers a guide to a more meaningful and fulfilling life that is in harmony with nature. In the practice of Danielle, the use of "bones" and "honey" is quite common. Bones refer to the remains that are left after an initiation when everything else falls apart. They are associated with darkness, death, and dying. Honey, on the other hand, is a symbol of life's sweetness, golden medicine, and a promise of renewal. In witchcraft, art, and life, it is essential to understand and embrace both aspects. We must acknowledge the transient nature of our existence and have the wisdom to appreciate and celebrate the beauty of our time on this planet. Bones & Honey is arranged into the following thirteen books that are organized around specific archetypes and their themes: Book of Stars: Prayers for Hope's Troublemakers, Impossible Freaks, and Stubborn Visionaries Book of Wild Lovers: Prayers for Lust, Seduction, and Majestic Relatedness Book of the Bone-Witch: Prayers for Grievers, Death Walkers, and Shadow Kin Book of the Heathen Queen: Prayers for Empowerment, Sovereignty, and Truth Telling Book of the Moon: Prayers for Secret Keepers, Midnight Poets, and Fringe Dwellers Book of the Mountain Mage: Prayers for Sacred Solitude, Transformation, and Inner Alchemy Book of the Wounded Healer: Prayers for Heartache, Healing, and the Shining Self Book of the Nameless Grandmothers: Prayers for Ancestral Healing, Lineage Exploration, and Forgiveness Book of the Pagan Warrioress: Prayers for Battle, Bone Gathering, and Rough Beauty Book of the Botanical Babe: Prayers for Innocents, Beginnings, and Wild Children Book of the Shepherd: Prayers for Nurturing, Self-Love, and Space Tending Book of Shape-Shifters: Prayers for Time Weavers, Human Evolution, and Strange Futures Book of Bones and Honey: Prayers for the Bittersweetness of a Most Heathen Life Danielle believes in the power of the wild feminine and human-to-nature intimacy. She is the author of The Holy Wild: A Heathen Bible for the Untamed Woman and Woman Most Wild: Three Keys to Liberating the Witch Within. She translates the wild feminine into motherhood, magick, multimedia art, and teachings of embodied spirituality, writing, and movement alchemy. Danielle is a Celtic free-style Witch, a lover of Irish Paganism, an E-RYT500 and YACEP through Yoga Alliance, a mist-dweller, and a shadow-walker. May all beings come home to the wilds. www.danielledulsky.com

"All of the stories from the Bhagavad Gita, it's so clear to me. These are calls to action. We'll even start with ahimsa..." In this episode, Anjali Rao and Tysir Salih discuss the impact of witnessing multiple genocides and wars in real time and how Yoga practitioners can respond to the atrocities in the world. They also speak to how we can show up in solidarity and in alignment with the yogic teachings. Tai Salih (she/her) E-RYT® 500, YACEP®, came to Canada as a refugee in her youth. Today she is the Founder of the Red Ma'at Collective and is currently working towards her designation in Psychotherapy. Her dedicated passion to heal through her own traumas has guided her desire to do more for and within the community. Tai's approach encompasses a compassionate and intersectional lens that is geared towards uplifting and empowering BI&WoC/gender-expansive folx. Tai is an intersectional feminist, who believes in uplift and empowering women/gender-expansive folx through intersectional wellness, therapeutic yoga, and education on trauma healing to build resiliency and autonomy.In this episode, Anjali and Tysir also discuss: Tysir's path in Yoga and experiences as a yoga practitioner/teacher Our impact on situations happening around the world Practices to support you during times of collective grief Practices of both Self care and Collective care Connect with Tai's work here and be sure to follow her on Instagram!

Graham Schweig sits down with Avi Gordon in a conversation that covers the importance of yoga, gratitude, and selflessness in reconnecting with one's heart and embracing life's conditioning forces. They discuss the transformative power of yoga in turning inward to confront inner conflicts and suffering, ultimately leading to self-awareness and growth. The role of the guru in guiding and reinforcing inner wisdom is highlighted. The conversation also touches on the significance of choices, trust in the process, and the power of supportive relationships. Self-care and selflessness are explored as interconnected aspects of spiritual practice, promoting both personal well-being and the capacity to serve others.Bio:Dr. Schweig is Distinguished Teaching and Research Faculty at the Center for Dharma Studies of the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. Schweig earned the master's degree in religious studies at University of Chicago Divinity School, a master's of theological studies in history of religions and a master's of theology in comparative religion from Harvard University Divinity School, and earned his doctorate in comparative religion from Harvard.

Honesty Bomb, Magic Makers: I'm a recovering co-dependent person with anxiety...Over the past few months I switched from "regular" talk therapy to a new healing modality: Somatic Therapy, which focuses on healing the nervous system. One of the tools I use regularly is breathwork, which is why I'm so excited to speak with Kate Crawford, a Certified Trauma-Informed Breathwork Practitioner (600+ hrs YACEP), and the founder and CEO of Korē Breathwork. From Kate: Throughout my 15-year-long career as a highly empathic Physical Therapist, I witnessed first hand the undeniable connection between my clients stuck in pain + chronic illness and their unexpressed emotions. My signature breath technique, informed by my own healing journey and medical background, profoundly shifts the relationship that my beautifully sensitive clients have with themselves; clearing the held emotional trauma at the root of their discomfort and allowing them to move forward in a life of unapologetic alignment with who they truly are.

On this Episode, number 270, of the “Just Bein' Honest Podcast”, I have one of my FAVORITES on the show - Cynthia Abulafia!True fact: Cynthia graced my energy and presence the early morning of my wedding day. I shed so many past layers and false existences of myself + called in my true divine feminine. It was emotional and beautifully transformational. Thank you Cynthia : )Cynthia has been a yoga teacher for close to 20 years.  She brings an eye for detailed instruction to her challenging and creative yoga flow classes, subtle body workshops, and Kundalini Shakti educational programs. Her attention to detail brings her class deeply into the experience of the body, breath, and heart in order to tune attention to its finest point– believing that the purpose of the practice is to simply notice ever deeper into the silence that is the root of all form.Her passion for biomechanics, non-dual self-inquiry, and the beautifully rooted grace of the yoga asanas themselves shines in her classes. In addition to teaching asana she teaches courses in yoga philosophy, subtle body, human anatomy for yoga and yoga ethics. Cynthia created and leads Yoga Soup's 200 Hour Teacher Training and the professional program, the 300 Hour Teacher Training, is E-RYT 500, YACEP (she teaches continuing education), IAYT (Yoga Therapy), and Pilates certified, and holds a Masters in Nutrition. She has 30 years of study with world class teachers in several schools of yoga, including Yoga Therapy, Ashtanga, Iyengar, Vinyasa Krama with Srivatsa Ramaswami, modern flow blends, and many beloved meditation, Advaita, non-dual Tantra, kundalini-Shakti, and self-inquiry teachers. Cynthia believes strongly in educating students about Kundalini energy (not to be confused with the system of yoga in the same name).  The poses of Yoga are designed to wake up our subtle body, and yet when this happens- as it inevitably does for many people- we often find ourselves without a compass or a safe community.  She offers writings and explorations on topics related to the body, the breath, the subtle energies, non-dual literature and self-inquiry, Kundalini energy, & meditation techniques in order to facilitate understanding and conversation around these complex and beautiful topicsWe are diving in deep about:Why is understanding the subtle body necessary to navigate TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS?How intimate partnership is a mirroring partnership.Why you are not being 'Triggered', but reflected...How curiosity is the branch towards honest connection.WIN!
