  • The 8 Limbs of Yoga for Personal Growth
    We’ve talked about what the eight limbs of yoga are and where they came from (if you missed that episode just scroll a few back) but what is each limb's practical, energetic, and spiritual significance in modern life? From the ethical and personal observances of Yama and Niyama, respectively, to the physical aspects of Asana, the breath control of Pranayama, and the mental focus of Dharana. And of course how it all culminates in the exploration of Dhyana and Samadhi. The Eight Limbs are here to help you cut through the noise and come back to what really matters, this episode will explain how. Listen and learn: 🔹How each limb of yoga serves a unique purpose in personal growth 🔹What it means to “live your yoga” through these teachings 🔹The practical ways the 8 limbs help you reclaim your scattered energy 💖 Curious about the Uplifted membership and want to know more?

  • Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2 - Part 1: Should You Follow Your Emotions? Or Your Responsibilities?
    I’m back with Chapter 2 of the Bhagavad Gita! This is so dense I had to split it into two parts. Today we’ll discuss verses 1-38. This chapter serves as a foundation for understanding the eternal nature of the soul (Atman) and the importance of non-attachment in the face of life's challenges. Let’s look at Arjuna's emotional turmoil and Krishna's tough love approach, emphasizing the need for inner stability and the acceptance of life's transient nature. The emphasis on the immortality of the soul, the significance of understanding one's Dharma, and the win-win perspective in life. This chapter literally has all of Krishna’s essential teachings. Making it a gold mine. Get ready to learn from the original life coach (Krishna): 🔹The journey often begins at our lowest points. We must learn to enjoy fleeting things. 🔹Life presents a win-win situation regardless of outcomes. 🔹Empathy must be balanced with duty in our actions.

  • Is Trauma Actually In Your Hips? The Impact of Stress on Hip & Pelvic Health with Dr. Brianne Grogan
    Mother’s day just passed and I thought this would be the perfect time to talk about something a lot of women deal with, especially after having kids: pelvic floor dysfunction. I invited Dr. Brianne Grogan, Physical Therapist and Pelvic Care Expert, to talk about the intricate relationship between trauma, stress, and pelvic floor health. I loved this conversation with Dr. Bri because she not only delves into practical techniques for pelvic floor release, sharing insights on effective cues for yoga teachers to enhance awareness and how to reconnect with the pelvic floor, but she also emphasizes the importance of understanding the pelvic area as a site of emotional storage and energetic power. Listen in as we explore how: 🔹The pelvic floor muscles are among the first to respond to stress. 🔹Emotions can be stored in various parts of the body, not just the hips. 🔹The gut-brain connection plays a significant role in emotional health. 🔹Fascia connects the pelvic floor to the diaphragm and hips. 🦋 Get my Pregnant & Powerful prenatal yoga course for mamas, teachers, and womb healing on flash sale now! => https://www.brettlarkin.com/prenatal-yoga-vinyasa-kundalini-meditation/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=podcast&utm_campaign=pp    GUEST EXPERT: Dr. Brianne Grogan | @vibrantpelvichealth Dr. Brianne Grogan graduated from Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon, in 2006 with a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree.
