What happens when the truth you carry inside has been too intense, too different, or too beautiful to express?

An intimate journey into what becomes possible when we stop hiding our sensitivity and allow the wisdom, voice and beauty within us to finally enter the world.

In hour 1, Sterling navigates a variety of "talk radio facts"—loosely verified claims ranging from conspiratorial stock market theories regarding Zoom and Dr. Fauci to skeptical critiques of modern wellness trends like the "5 a.m. club." The narrative structure blends personal anecdotes, such as a humorous injury sustained in a celebrity yoga class, with segments on specialized subcultures like global ham radio competitions and the success of films based on video game lore.

Do you ever feel distracted, scattered, or mentally overloaded while teaching yoga? Do you feel like you're multi-tasking and it's blocking you from feeling at ease, present and actually teaching the humans in the room? In this episode, I'm breaking down some of the most common distractions that pull yoga teachers out of presence while teaching—from over-focusing on beginners and constantly checking notes to worrying about timing, music, and what students think of the class. I also share practical solutions to help you feel calmer, more grounded, and more confident when you teach, including how using a Signature Sequence and my “Say the cue, see what they do” approach can completely change your teaching experience. Resources Mentioned:  Download my free Signature Sequence training: https://barebonesyoga.lpages.co/how-to-create-a-signature-sequence/  Download my free Walk and Talk training: https://barebonesyoga.lpages.co/how-to-do-the-walk-and-talk/  

In my continuing series of themes for your yoga classes, today we'll take a look at teaching classes that focus on balancing. This is such an important skill from a mobility perspective and as people age, balance degrades so it's helpful to focus on it in your classes. One of the ideas behind teaching with this theme is to share with students what the benefits are as they're in the postures and that's part of what I share in this episode.    You find out more about how to cue in balancing poses, the benefits of balancing postures, different ways to integrate balancing into your sequences and what muscles are being used.   At the end of the episode, I speak to something that keeps coming up these days, and that is teachers sharing with me that while they're looking for help and support, they don't feel ready to work with me and enroll in the Yoga Anatomy Accelerator. I wanted to take a few minutes tot speak to that feeling and what you can do about it.    In the episode, I mention a practice video I posted on You Tube that goes with the earlier episode on Yoga for Mental Health. That was EP 397. You can find the practice video here:     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfuoWYqSDyw   I also mention my e book, “From the Interview Chair”.

Yoga has evolved in the last two decades, and the way we do yoga, the way we behave in a yoga studio and how we interact with the teacher in class-all has changed. Here is a short and sweet podcast about #yoga #class

Have you ever felt imbalanced by giving far more than you allowed yourself to receive?Have you ever bottomed out in over giving? It's not just the holidays that can ask a lot of us. Life does. Giving and receiving go hand in hand and they must be balanced in order to be sustainable. I've found the receiving part of the equation is where many of us get stuck. There is an art to receiving. Which is why I created, The Art of Receiving course. It's the perfect time of year to feature this course and I just released Lesson 1 on the Co Create app but wanted to give you a taste of this course for FREE here on the podcast.

Moving beyond a duality mindset is one of the most helpful steps to living your life in more creation. Reminder, duality is seeing the world in black and white and having a perpetual judgement or rejection of one of these polarities. It's right vs. wrong, good vs. bad, worthy vs. unworthy, etc. When you move into seeing in non-duality (from the unconditional love of the heart), you gain the ability to hold space for both polarities to be one. But making this shift towards more love is helpful when you can spot the moments when duality creeps in. In this episode I'm sharing one of the big red flags that tell me when I'm in the ego and seeing from the dualistic mind.

Resonance is a means of Divine communication to guide our life. And it can often feel like a joy or a block in our own relationships. In this episode we are going to explore the different ways that we can change our resonance to help improve our relationships. Most importantly, we will explore how our body is our resonant instrument and how caring for the body is the #1 way to improve resonance and resolve any interference that may be blocking our ability to feel connected to those around us.

Resonance is hard to describe with words because its really all about feeling. And yet, you have likely had the experience of what it's like to resonate highly with a person or idea or activity vs. what it's like to not have resonance with something. We can often judge ourselves or others based on resonance, when really it's not about who's right or who's wrong and more about being a form of guidance and communication from the Divine to help us navigate our path in the way that will bring us the most joy. The more we can learn to follow high resonance and allow low resonance to just be what it is without judgement, the happier we will be.

It's easy to get caught up in black and white thinking. We can see the world in terms of right and wrong, or good or bad. This is the home of the ego and the voice of judgement that lives in our mind. I don't know about you, but this is a hard place to live. Love is conditional, peace only comes when everything is going the way you want it to, and since we don't have control over the external world, this is also a fragile place to live. In this episode I'm going to share a simple story with you that can help us unlearn this dualistic thinking and see the world with more inclusion rather than judgement.

Cancel culture is not my favorite thing. I do admit, there is a sort of thrill the ego gets in being able to cling to what it thinks is right and metaphorically destroy opposition by cancelling someone through unfollows, unsubscribes, or public declarations of rejection. But you know what? The thrill is totally short lived. And it's empty. And more importantly, it is a place of contraction not creation.When you live in duality (black and white thinking), cancelling any voice that is different than your view can be an automatic response. But the more we can expand our mind and heart into non-duality (oneness), the more we can find and retain connection with the beautiful humans around us.This is most definitely a practice...AND...it's worth every effort.

One of my favorite lessons from Autumn, is the importance of letting go.Mother Nature makes the process look beautiful and graceful, and dare I say, "easy".But is it easy? How easy is it for you to let things go?It all depends on how attached we are to something. The tighter we are grasping at something the harder it will be to let it go. In this weeks Co Create Podcast I'm sharing a framework that has forever changed the way I view attachments. It comes from author Don Miguel Ruiz Jr, in his book, The Five Levels of Attachment.  SHOWNOTESThe Five Levels of Attachment by Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. Amazing Book!My Co Create Meditation and Courses App: Gain access to over 100+ Guided Meditations, new Yoga Classes, Inspirational Audio Courses, and community Challenges to support you in living into your true identity as the creator of your life.

We all have a window of tolerance for what we are willing to feel before we go into contraction and block ourselves from going any further. This happens for both ends of the spectrum. We have a window of tolerance for how much suffering we will endure and how much happiness and joy and pleasure we allow ourselves to feel as well. In this episode I'm going to share with you how I personally learned to go beyond my edges when I thought I just couldn't handle feeling more.

Toxic Productivity is an easy trap to get caught in. Our society has placed high value on outputs and outcomes and the pressure is high to always have something to show for your time spent. Productivity in and of itself is neutral. However, when we become obsessive and use the focus on outcomes to drive our life it robs us of the gift of living in the present. Let's find balance so we can be better co creators.

This is part 3 in a series I'm calling "Reclamation of Feeling". In this episode we're talking about spiritual bypassing. This was a term I've only learned in the last few years but I have experienced this emotional block my entire life, as I'm sure you have as well. Knowing what it is and what it looks like has been a key piece in learning how to regulate my emotions and move through things with more love and compassion. If you've ever tried to change how you feel by doing spiritual tools, if you've ever tried to just be more positive and optimistic, if you've ever tried to just look on the bright side or be more grateful and sometimes experienced that these things didn't help you feel better, this episode will explain why that can happen. You'll be able to spot where you do this to yourself, and perhaps when you might project this onto others in effort to fix emotions we judge as wrong or bad. What if there isn't actually anything to fix? What if there's just things that need to be felt? This approach can make all the difference.SHOWNOTES:Gain access to the meditations that go along with course on the Co Create app.Use code ONEHEART30 for a free 30 days on the app.Find the Co Cocreate app in the Apple App StoreFind the Co Create app in the Google App StoreThe Co Create App gives you access to over 100+ Guided Meditations, new Yoga Classes, Inspirational Audio Courses, and community Challenges to support you in living into your true identity as the creator of your life.

In this episode we are going to explore how to travel from one emotional state to another. We've all experienced what it's like to have emotions we resist, where we wish in the moment to feel different. To feel better, whatever better is. But the challenge with emotion, is that you don't immediately go from a low state to a high state. You don't immediately go from feeling anger to feeling happy. Or from disappointment to contentment. Especially if you are actively resisting what you are feeling in the moment. There's too big of a gap between the two states, and in today we are going to learn about what exists in the gap. It's what I call The Land of Observation, and knowing about this place in the gap has been transformative in my journey of Reclamation of Feeling.

Hello internet! This week's episode is all about the history of American YOGA CLASSES as well as some etiquette for taking a class! Enjoy and be sure to share with a friend!

Well, this is an unusual episode!! Since I released a podcast episode last year about my group class planning process I've been getting more and more questions about my unique teaching style.  It's been described as Buddha Dharma Meets Corrective Exercise With A Little Vinyasa In The Middle For Some Fun. It's a specific style that has been cultivated over almost 20 years of very full time teaching, and I especially love the way it lands online and in an audio format.  So this episode is a short explanation, and then a full length practice! You might find it interesting to listen to even if you can't or don't want to do the physical part of the practice.

Most of us have asked the existential questions of where we came from, why we're here, and where we're going? But perhaps the most debated question of all would be, HOW DO YOU GET THERE? This is the question every religion tries to answer in its own unique way. The How. In essence, which path is the right path? In this final podcast, I share with you exactly where I want to go. I'm headed to Zion, my friends. This is my destination. To live in a new world where the people are of one heart and one mind. Ultimately, I think any person on a soul level would want to live here because it's a place of love and oneness. And yet the question still remains, HOW DO YOU GET THERE? Is there only one way? Or do you find it if you just walk long enough? The answer may surprise you. Listen in. SHOWNOTES:Co Create by Brooke Snow: My *New* App!

We are all designed to evolve, it's part of our nature. The body you have as a baby is not the same body you have as an adult. It changed. It evolved. It grew. Likewise, your lifestyle, your beliefs, who you are and how you see the world, are meant to go through a similar evolution. We could safely say that the only constant in the world is change. Everything in nature, reflects the constant change in all things...Nothing is static. Even when the rose is in full bloom in summer, the peak season will shift and the petals will drop and winter comes and eventually spring brings a new rebirth of the rose. There is death and rebirth many times over for the rose and for each of us. Yet, so often we resist the change we see happening in ourselves or those we love. In this episode we'll explore how to embrace the evolution of people, and trust that the cycle of death and rebirth holds so much more than meets the eye if we can have faith and trust the process. SHOWNOTES:Co Create by Brooke Snow: My *New* App!

Humans have this amazing tendency to be able to time travel into the future and live out the scenes of the worst case scenario on repeat in the mind...even though this future hasn't happened, we think of what could happen in the worse possibly way and create anxiety and fear from that thought movie as it flashes through our mind.But have you ever noticed how those replays in the brain always stop at the cliffhanger moment? The moment everything goes wrong? The moment you're humiliated? The moment you get rejected? The moment you lose all that is important to you? Fear is powerful. And it can be paralyzing. In this episode we're going to work through a transformative process to reduce fear and anxiety. It's as simple as finishing the story. We're going to learn to not leave fear as a cliffhanger. Because in reality? The story isn't done yet.SHOWNOTES:Co Create by Brooke Snow: My *New* App!

Expectation is a powerful force in every person's life and one of the biggest drivers of motivation. Expectation influences our decisions on every level. Whether it's the macro life decisions we make or the micro moments of our personal interactions. While expectations can certainly keep order in the world, if not questioned or evaluated, living for others expectations can also prevent us from making progress as a society or keep us from living our own life purpose. In this episode we'll explore what can happen when we give away our agency to the expectation of others, as well as what can happen when we have the courage to follow our own path. Spoiler alert, this is what changes the world. SHOWNOTES:Co Create by Brooke Snow: My *New* App!

You probably already know this, but allow me to remind you, you are not a robot. You are not designed to go at the same pace, with the same energy, day in and day out indefinitely. Unfortunately, our modern world doesn't exactly function in a way to allow for the nuances of our fluctuating energy and rhythms, yet this is the way that Nature has existed since the very beginning. In this episode we're talking about how to align with the seasons to help support us in our own sustainable growth, and what summer can teach us about the need for Recreation or as I like to say, Re-CREATION.SHOWNOTES:Aligning with the Seasons Part 1 Listen to the first part of this series for a Winter perspective. Co Create by Brooke Snow: My *New* App!

So what is your relationship with food? What comes up for you when you think of nourishing the body? Better yet, what comes up for you when you think of sticking to a physical goal for your body for a certain time frame? A few days ago we started our Nourishment Challenge on the Co Create app. This is a 40 Day challenge all focused on nourishment. But if you are like me or others in my team, we usually have a little bit of dread, some judgement, and a lot of expectations when it comes to how we think we should eat or care for our bodies. For these reasons, it was really important to us to treat this challenge in the most loving way possible with a lot of freedom. And I have to admit, I love the approach we ended up with. Already we're having people in the Co Create App community sharing their excitement too and I want to give you a little sneak peak of why.SHOWNOTES:Co Create by Brooke Snow: My *New* App!

It's my belief that one of the great purposes of our life is to learn how to BE OURSELF. The amazing self God uniquely formed and created that is unlike any other. This is how we fill the measure of our creation. Yet too often we abandon ourselves to fit in, please others, or live by someone else's rules and expectations. When we honor our own hopes, dreams, desires, ideas, passions, wants, and needs, we live in alignment with our soul instead of fighting against it. SHOWNOTES:Co Create by Brooke Snow: My *New* App!

Most people have something in their life that they know needs to change. Sometimes it's knowing our life would improve if we made a small tweak to the way we do something. Other times, life challenges will demand we make massive changes in order to survive. In this episode we're talking about both approaches to growth: The big leap or tiny baby steps. Both can be effective if you know how and when to use them. And perhaps the most important question here, is which one do you currently need? SHOWNOTES:Co Create by Brooke Snow: My *New* App!

Have you ever had a goal or even a wish that you wanted to come to pass, and it just didn't seem to lock in, even with good effort and intent?  In this episode we're talking about growth conditions. Just like every seed has its own germination time, each seed also requires the right conditions to be able to really take off and thrive. Part of the mystery of our own development comes in learning what the right conditions are for ourselves. I'm going to share with you something I have really wanted to thrive in my life that took me eleven years to have the right conditions for it to actually grow. I could be frustrated by how long it took, but instead, I'm learning a huge lesson in trusting the timing and conditions for growth.SHOWNOTES:Co Create by Brooke Snow: My *New* App!

There is great power in the order in which we approach life. Remember that you are a human being, and not a human doing. Too often we forget our beingness and rush into the doing without finding alignment first. Your doing can be absolutely transformed depending on the state of beingness in which you approach it with.This can be as simple as taking a momentary pause before you do something. These meditations in motion expand a meditation practice to fit right into the bustle of your day. There's no need to completely stop your activity right now, unless you want to. Here, the power will come from simply choosing to be fully present. While most of my podcasts are informative, this is designed to be experiential. If you'll participate with me in the next five minutes, I promise this can be a transformative moment of your day. SHOWNOTES:Co Create by Brooke Snow: My *New* App!

You've probably heard the reminder that we are human beings not human doings. Yet, too often we can find ourselves caught up in the doing side of life, that we either burn out or check out. We detach from ourselves, others, and God and in so doing the weight of life is magnified. What if there was an easier way?  Turns out there is. It's what I call working from the inside out instead of working from the outside in. SHOWNOTES:Co Create by Brooke Snow: My *New* App!
