What if your wellness routine isn't separate from manifesting… but actually the first step?In this episode, I'm breaking down why you can't think your way into a new life from a body that feels exhausted, inflamed, or stuck in survival mode—and how your daily wellness habits are shaping what you attract (whether you realize it or not).This is your reminder (and maybe the shift you didn't know you needed):✨ Your body is your manifestation vessel✨ Your nervous system determines what you can receive✨ How you care for yourself is the signal you send to lifeLINKS FOR YOU:SIMPLY :: well: Simplified wellness for women: https://tinyurl.com/SIMPLYwell Tired AF Yoga Series: https://tinyurl.com/LELTiredAFTHRIVE series playlist: https://tinyurl.com/LELThrive Tips for Strategic Radical Self-Care – Let's Get Started!https://lauraerdmanluntz.com/podcast29/ ➡️ SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel for FREE: https://tinyurl.com/LELYouTubeTVEnjoy!LauraTimestamps: 0:00 - Intro to the video 0:56 - Why Wellness IS Manifesting3:28 - Reason 16:28 - Reason 27:15 - Reason 38:15 - Why being in midlife matters10:04 - The next step12:56 - SIMPLY :: well+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

What if the most important thing in your life is the one you can't see?This milestone episode introduces two ancient Balinese concepts that are now the beating heart of the studio itself — Sekala (the seen) and Niskala (the unseen). Through an unscripted, thoughtful conversation, the episode explores what runs our lives beneath the surface: thoughts, intuition, gut feelings, spiritual energy, and the invisible forces shaping every decision we make. From ignoring your gut to the discomfort of saying yes when you mean no, from the breath inside a yoga pose to the love inside a home-cooked meal — the seen and the unseen are always working together. The Balinese don't treat one as more real than the other. Most of the modern world does. This episode is an invitation to tend to both — and to ask yourself honestly which one you've been neglecting.----------Episode Chapters:00:00:29 Introduction00:01:31 What's Invisible in Your Life Right Now?00:02:41 Thoughts, Feelings, and the Ethereal Plane00:04:31 How Much Energy Do You Spend on How You Look vs. How You Feel?00:07:00 When Did You Ignore Your Gut — and What Did It Cost?00:13:45 Saying Yes When You Mean No — Intuition and Boundaries00:18:43 Revealing the Topic: Sekala and Niskala Explained00:20:00 Balinese Culture and Why It Draws People to Bali00:22:11 The Two Studio Shalas — Niskala Upstairs, Sekala Downstairs00:23:44 How Much Do You Tend the Seen vs. the Unseen?00:25:08 The Unseen in Yoga Poses, Mastery, and Creativity00:31:34 The Unseen in Other People — Compassion and Empathy00:33:03 When Someone Called Self-Reflection a Waste of Time00:34:36 What Western Society Gets Wrong — and What Bali Gets Right----------Mentions & Resources:Michael Henri's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelyoga.pt/Byron de Marsé's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/byronyoga/The IN Movement Instagram: https://www.instagram/com/the_in_movement/Balinese concepts explored:Sekala — the seen, physical, tangible worldNiskala — the unseen, spiritual, energetic realmYoga concepts referenced:Prana Vayus (winds of energy within the body)Yamas and Niyamas (ethical guidelines, not rules)Frameworks mentioned:Human Design — sacral authority and splenic authorityManifestation (101 level overview)Cultural references:Andrew Tate — referenced briefly as an example of extreme seen-world thinkingThe Beatles — referenced as an example of unseen creative masteryStudio context:Niskala Shala — upstairs daily practice roomSekala Shala — downstairs training/learning spaceStudio naming informed by Kimberly (half-Balinese teacher)----------Tags: Sekala, Niskala, Balinese culture, seen and unseen, intuition, yoga philosophy, spirituality, mindfulness, self-reflection, inner world, human design, manifestation, prana, yoga studio, Bali, grounding, consciousness, empathy, compassion, personal growth, inner work, yoga, energy, milestone episode

We live in a culture obsessed with big change.Total reinventions. And “This time everything will be different" feelings.But here's the truth most people overlook:The small, almost invisible changes are what actually change your life.One earlier bedtime.One strength session a week.One nourishing habit.One boundary.Small shifts are easier to sustain, kinder to your nervous system, and powerful enough to completely transform your wellness over time.And in midlife, that matters more than ever.In this episode of Ignite Your Life podcast, we explore why big overhauls often fail and why tiny, strategic changes create lasting momentum for your health, energy, and life.If you've ever felt like you need a total reset to feel better, this conversation will help you see a different path forward.✨ Strong.

If you've been doing the inner work… holding the vision… and the dream still hasn't landed — this isn't a failure.In midlife, manifestation doesn't break. Capacity shifts.This episode isn't about mindset, discipline, or wanting it more.It's about understanding what happens when the body no longer agrees to push — even toward the things it wants.You'll hear why:• exhausted bodies don't manifest• midlife capacity is different from hustle capacity• safety comes before expansion• vision without embodiment stays conceptualThere's nothing here to fix.Nothing to force.This is an identity reframe — not a teaching.If your dreams haven't landed yet, it may not be because you're blocked.It may be because your body is protecting you.Links from the video:Manifesting on the Mat playlistYoga for Manifesting: Unlocking the Power of the Law of AttractionManifesting For Beginners Enjoy!LauraTimestamps: 0:00 - Intro to the video 1:18 - Intro to me2:24 - Reason 13:56 - Reason 28:12 - Final thoughts+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In this episode, we break down how, when, and why to demonstrate yoga poses so students actually learn.Demonstration is one of the most overlooked—and misunderstood—skills in yoga teaching.In this episode of Yogaland, Jason shares how to demonstrate yoga poses effectively in both in-person and online classes, and why visual communication plays such a crucial role in student learning.You'll learn: • When yoga teachers should and should not demonstrate • The pros and cons of practicing with the group vs. observing • How demonstration impacts student comprehension and retention • The biggest mistakes teachers make when demonstrating poses • Why orientation and timing matter more than flexibility or strength • How to demonstrate safely without risking injury • Smart strategies for Zoom classes, recorded classes, and live online teaching • How beginner teachers can use demonstration to build confidence and pacingWhether you teach vinyasa, flow, alignment-based yoga, or online classes, this conversation will help you teach more clearly, communicate more effectively, and support student learning without over-explaining or over-demonstrating.This episode is especially helpful for: • Yoga teachers in 200-hour or 300-hour teacher training • New teachers learning pacing and classroom management • Experienced teachers refining their communication skills • Anyone teaching yoga online or on Zoom Hosted on Acast.

After 30 years as a life coach, I've learned this: real change doesn't come from hustling harder or chasing perfect balance — it comes from small mindset shifts practiced consistently.In this episode, I'm sharing 7 mindset shifts that genuinely changed my life and my work, especially in midlife. These are the perspectives that helped me let go of people-pleasing, stop waiting for permission, work with fear instead of against it, and trust that growth happens through tiny daily choices.We talk about why balance is overrated, why tiny actions matter more than big plans, how fear and excitement feel the same in the body, and why your inner voice shapes everything. If you're stepping into a new year — or a new chapter — and want to grow with more ease, clarity, and self-trust, this episode is for you.This is mindset work for women who are done shrinking and ready to evolve — gently, honestly, and on their own terms.LINKS from Video:

✨ Manifesting in Midlife? You're not behind — you're just in your becoming.In this podcast episode, I'm sharing the real reasons manifestation feels harder for midlife women — and the 6-step method I use to help you reset your energy, get clear, and actually receive what you desire.If you've felt stuck, burned out, or like manifesting just “doesn't work for you” — this is where it shifts.As women in our 40s, 50s, and beyond, we're wiser, stronger, and so ready to live for ourselves — but we've also inherited outdated beliefs that block our ability to dream, trust, and receive.✨ This isn't hustle manifesting. This is nervous system-supported, midlife-empowered, grounded manifestation — made for you.

Feeling stuck in midlife? You're not broken — you might just be running on empty.In this quick but powerful video, I'll guide you through a midlife alignment check-in that's helped countless women reset their energy, reconnect to their purpose, and move forward without the hustle.If you've been feeling unmotivated, foggy, or disconnected — this is your moment to pause, breathe, and ask 3 important questions before you try to manifest or force action.This is the first episode of my Manifesting in Midlife Summer Series — where we ditch the pressure and start manifesting from alignment, not exhaustion.

In this episode, I'm sharing three real-life manifesting stories to inspire women who are using the law of attraction, energy alignment, and mindset work to create the life they want—especially in midlife.✨ Ready for some serious manifesting inspiration? In this episode, I'm sharing 3 powerful manifesting stories that prove manifestation is real, it works—and it often unfolds in ways you never expect.You'll hear:✔️ A story of how fast manifestation can happen✔️ What to do if you're questioning whether your dream is really meant for you✔️ My personal favorite—how manifesting works even when you're not trying (yes, really!)Whether you're into law of attraction, manifestation success stories, or just need a dose of real-life spiritual motivation, these stories will remind you that your dreams are closer than you think.

To celebrate the 11th International Day of Yoga, I wanted to reflect on how yoga extends far beyond the mat. In this episode, I share some of the most meaningful ways I've learned to live yoga in everyday life, through thoughts, actions, and awareness, not just physical poses. Over the years, I've come to believe that some of the most powerful yoga happens when no one is watching, and when we're not even in a class. Whether you're going through a joyful moment or a tough season, there's always an opportunity to embody yoga through how you respond, relate, and move through the world. My hope is that this episode inspires you to carry yoga with you, wherever you are.Episode Highlights:Honoring the spiritual and seasonal significance of International Yoga Day (June 21)Practicing Pratipaksha Bhavanam: transforming negative thoughts by cultivating their oppositesEmbracing Pratyahara: choosing intentional sensory withdrawal to reclaim your attentionLiving with steadiness and ease (Sthira Sukham Asanam) in daily lifeBalancing consistent effort and non-attachment through Abhyasa and VairagyaReleasing material and mental clutter with the principle of Aparigraha (non-hoarding)Turning inward with Swadhyaya: self-study for self-awareness and spiritual growthWelcoming more playfulness and spontaneity through Leela (divine play)Engaging in Seva: selfless service as a path to humility and interconnectednessFinding community and inspiration through SatsangCultivating Maitri: loving-kindness toward self and othersSurrendering to Ishvara: letting go and trusting in the divineJoin our mailing listFind all the resources mentioned in this episodeConnect with us on Instagram

This episode is an EPIC conversation with my friend Nyk Danu about the question of if, when, how, and why we use yoga props in Yin Yoga. Nyk is the host of A Yin Yoga Podcast, and she reached out to propose this crossover episode to share on both of our shows, because the no-props-in-Yin myth is a topic near and dear to both of our hearts. So what you'll hear here is less of an interview and more of a back and forth, or “fireside chat” (as Nyk calls it) where we really unpack this sometimes-controversial Yin subject. As you'll hear, the question of whether (or how) to use props in Yin Yoga touches on issues like accessibility, able-ism, trauma-informed teaching, and all kinds of cultural conditioning that sneaks into our practice. We talk about what it means to be true to a style or lineage, and how we align with the principles that make a Yin practice “yin.”  As we explore where the anti-props misnomer comes from, Nyk and I also reflect on our experiences training with the founders of the Yin Yoga style, and how the functional approach to yoga requires that we adapt poses to individual bodies. We also give several specific examples of how props have helped our students get more from the practice, and debunk the assumption that you'll outgrow using props as your practice advances.  There are also some practical suggestions for situations where minimal props are available, or where propping is too complicated or unable to solve a student's challenge with a pose. So, pull up your favorite blankets and bolsters, get comfy, and enjoy this fun and informative Yin Yoga conversation!  ---------- Guest Bio: Nyk Danu is a certified Yoga Therapist, Yin Yoga Teacher Trainer, and Yoga business mentor.

Host Jeff Revilla welcomes three guests to play three rounds of high stakes trivia.How AI Watched this Episode:If you'd like to create AI driven summaries from your audio content, check out Castmagic.ioGAME SUMMARYWelcome to another thrilling episode of "Stuff I Never Knew," the trivia game show podcast where guests compete in a series of challenging and entertaining rounds to showcase their knowledge on a wide array of topics. Hosted by the ever-enthusiastic Jeff Revilla, this episode features three formidable contestants: Megan, Ayla, and Bintou. Each contestant brings their unique flair and knowledge to the table, guaranteeing an exciting and unpredictable episode. Joined by the laughter-triggering sound effects and a playful atmosphere, the stage is set for another unforgettable trivia showdown.Round 1 RecapIn the first round, Jeff kicked things off with a quirky game called "Yoga Pose or Kama Sutra Position." Contestants were tasked with determining whether the given names referred to yoga poses or positions from the Kama Sutra. Ayla started confidently but stumbled on the "feathered peacock," mistaking it for a Kama Sutra position when it was a yoga pose. Bintou followed, misidentifying the "fire log" as Kama Sutra. Megan managed to guess correctly with the "one-legged king pigeon," earning her first point. The round continued with mixed results and much laughter as the participants tried to navigate through Jeff's intriguing list. By the end of Round 1, the scores were tight, with Megan leading slightly ahead of Ayla and Bintou.Round 2 RecapRound 2 saw the contestants dive into traditional trivia categories: sports, entertainment, and the arts. Ayla, seeking redemption from her previous appearance on the show, had a mixed performance; she correctly identified Walter White's profession from "Breaking Bad" but struggled with a question about ABBA's hit song "Waterloo." Bintou, focusing on her strengths, fared well in the entertainment category but faltered in the sports questions, reflecting her self-professed lack of interest in that area. Megan shone brightly in this round; she deftly answered questions about "Walk the Line" and the Rolling Stones' first hit single, solidifying her lead. The buzzer round concluded with Megan in the lead, followed by Ayla and Bintou.Round 3 RecapThe final round was a rapid-fire challenge featuring video hints and visual puzzles, where contestants buzzed in to answer progressively easier clues for decreasing points. Highlights included Megan quickly identifying South Africa for a country and Bintou correctly guessing Hershey Park based on a series of clues. Ayla managed to redeem herself slightly with a correct guess of the Andes Mountains. As the questions grew trickier, the competition intensified, with all contestants showing remarkable quick-thinking and trivia prowess. Megan maintained her lead, navigating the clues with precision, while Bintou and Ayla fought valiantly for second place.ConclusionThis episode of "Stuff I Never Knew" was a rollercoaster of trivia excitement, full of surprises and amusing moments. Megan emerged as the night's champion with 12 points, followed closely by Ayla and Bintou. The show wrapped up with each contestant getting a chance to plug their personal projects, making the episode not just a test of knowledge but a celebration of diverse talents and stories.
