Vibhuti Yoga - See the Sacred Everywhere: Bhagavad Gita Chapter 10 show art Vibhuti Yoga - See the Sacred Everywhere: Bhagavad Gita Chapter 10

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

What if the world itself could become your meditation object? In this episode, we explore Chapter 10 of the Bhagavad Gita, known as Vibhuti Yoga — the yoga of divine manifestation and sacred seeing. This chapter explores how to train our perception and helps us stop dividing life into ā€œspiritualā€ and ā€œnot spiritual.ā€ The sunset, the breath, the body, the mountain, even impermanence, all can become doorways back to the sacred. It also marks a turning point in Arjuna’s relationship with Krishna. Until now, Arjuna has known Krishna as his friend, cousin, mentor, and charioteer. Here,...

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

Do cravings, fatigue, or hormonal shifts have you feeling like a stranger in your body? In this episode, I’m joined by Sema Ɩzpekmezci for a grounded, compassionate conversation about chronic illness, women’s health, perimenopause, hormones, and what it really means to listen to your body. We explore how midlife changes can feel confusing and how symptoms like cravings, energy dips, mood shifts, and inflammation can become invitations into deeper self-understanding. Sema also shares a powerful way to think about your hormones as the ā€œCEOā€ of your body and why food, stress, blood...

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

What’s actually happening in the body when yoga helps you ā€œcalm downā€? In this behind-the-scenes lesson pulled directly from the Uplifted 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training, we explore the nervous system science behind yoga, and why practices like breathwork, inversions, mantra, repetition, and Savasana can profoundly shift your stress response.

We explore: šŸ”¹ How yoga activates the parasympathetic nervous system šŸ”¹ Why slow...

How the Divine Speaks: The Neuroscience of Sacred Storytelling (Part 2) show art How the Divine Speaks: The Neuroscience of Sacred Storytelling (Part 2)

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

Why do the world’s great spiritual traditions teach through stories, imagery, and metaphor instead of simple instructions? In this episode, I’ll explore why metaphor changes us in a way facts alone cannot and how imagery bypasses the analytical mind to speak directly to the nervous system, imagination, memory, and body. Building on Part 1, we’ll dive deeper into Tantra’s vision of awakening as a love story between Shiva and Shakti: awareness and energy, stillness and sensation, consciousness and embodiment. I’ll explore: šŸ”¹ Why metaphor activates the nervous system differently than...

My Yogic Decision-Making Framework: How to Find Real Clarity show art My Yogic Decision-Making Framework: How to Find Real Clarity

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

How do you make a big decision… yogically? In this episode, I explore what happens when you deeply desire something — a new job, a baby, a retreat, a training, a relationship — but don’t actually have the capacity to hold it right now. This is a conversation about desire, capacity, and the real conditions for clarity. Because so often we think we’re confused, when really what’s happening is that one part of us wants something badly, and another part of us knows we don’t have the bandwidth. In this episode, I explore: šŸ”¹ The difference between desire and capacity and why both...

Somatic Coaching to Break Family Patterns with Amy Hunter show art Somatic Coaching to Break Family Patterns with Amy Hunter

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

What if the patterns running your life didn’t start with you? In this conversation, I sit down with Uplifted alum Amy Hunter to talk about the deeper work of somatic coaching, recovery, and healing family-of-origin patterns. Amy has taken multiple trainings inside the Uplifted ecosystem — including 200-hour, 300-hour, Kundalini, Embodied Yoga Life Coaching, and most recently the AI course — and now brings all of that into her own coaching practice.

What Is Bhakti Yoga? Krishna’s Most Confidential Teaching (Bhagavad Gita Chapter 9) show art What Is Bhakti Yoga? Krishna’s Most Confidential Teaching (Bhagavad Gita Chapter 9)

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

What if the deepest spiritual secret wasn’t hidden somewhere far away, but woven into your ordinary life right now? In Chapter 9 of the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna reveals what he calls the ā€œking of knowledgeā€ and the ā€œmost confidential secretā€. A teaching so simple and intimate that most people overlook it completely. This episode explores the heart of bhakti yoga: devotion, relationship with the divine, and the radical idea that the sacred permeates everything. We explore: šŸ”¹ Why Krishna says the divine is both everywhere and beyond everything šŸ”¹ The paradox at the center of yoga...

Stop Trying to Be Calm: Kali & the Stress Cycle show art Stop Trying to Be Calm: Kali & the Stress Cycle

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

What if stress isn’t actually the problem? What if the real issue is that your body never got to finish the stress response? In this episode, we revisit one of the most powerful conversations we’ve ever had on the podcast: why healing isn’t about becoming calm all the time and how sacred rage, movement, and emotional expression may actually be the missing piece to your healing. Using the archetype of the Hindu goddess Kali, we explore the difference between suppression and regulation, why so many yogis get stuck in spiritual bypassing, and how somatic practices help the body finally...

How the Divine Speaks: Sacred Symbolism in the Gita, Bible & Upanishads Part 1 show art How the Divine Speaks: Sacred Symbolism in the Gita, Bible & Upanishads Part 1

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

Have you ever noticed that when humans try to talk about God, awakening, truth, or the divine we almost never explain it directly? Instead, we tell stories. We say life is a battlefield. God is a shepherd. The soul is a river returning to the sea. The self is two birds sitting in the same tree. Across cultures, centuries, and spiritual traditions, mystics don’t simply define the divine, they paint it. In this episode, I take you on a kind of devotional poetry slam through sacred metaphor. We’ll explore passages from the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, the Psalms, and yogic philosophy to see...

In this bonus FAQ-style episode, I’m breaking down the questions I hear all the time—from ā€œWill I actually finish?ā€ to ā€œDo I have to want to teach?ā€ā€”and giving you a grounded, honest framework to make the best decision for YOU. Because not all trainings are created equal… and the difference isn’t just curriculum—it’s support, structure, and how you’re held through the experience. We’ll explore: šŸ”¹ Why most people don’t finish yoga teacher training šŸ”¹ The biggest mistake...
