Hatha or Kundalini Yoga? How to Find the Style That Fits You
The Uplifted Yoga Podcast
Hatha and Kundalini are both yoga, but they can feel completely different in your body. In this episode, I break down some of the biggest differences between these two styles: how they use movement, breath, meditation, mantra, repetition, and the subtle body. Plus, why one style may resonate with you very differently than another. If you’ve been Kundalini-curious, love a traditional Hatha or Vinyasa practice, or simply want to understand what all these different yoga “styles” are actually doing, this is a great place to start. I’ll explore: 🔹 How Hatha/Vinyasa and Kundalini approach...

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast
Today’s episode is another behind-the-scenes look, this time inside my Somatic Yoga Training and Embodied Yoga Life Coaching Certification. This teaching explores how we move energy through the body using breath, movement, sound, and visualization. Inside EYLC, we work with different maps of the subtle body, including the doshas, polarity, Shiva and Shakti, and the relationship between movement and stillness. In this clip, I explore why movement is not just something we do before meditation. Movement can help us express, discharge, and release what may be stuck in the body so we can access a...

The Forgotten Way to Learn Yoga Philosophy: Ancient Memory Practices (Part 1)
The Uplifted Yoga Podcast
When was the last time you memorized something on purpose? Not a password, grocery list, or directions, but a piece of poetry, a prayer, a mantra, a sutra, or a verse that you carried with you in your mind. In this episode, I’m exploring why memorization was once the original way ancient wisdom was passed down, and why it still matters now. We’ll look at how memorizing meaningful words can train your attention, support your nervous system, strengthen your brain, and help wisdom become something you can actually return to in real life. Inside this episode, I explore: 🔹 Why ancient texts...

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast
So many of us think the next certification will finally make us feel clear, confident, or ready. But more information is not always the answer. Sometimes the real missing piece is integration.

The Shuniya Shift: Stop Using Kundalini Yoga to Fix Yourself with Bailee Buckendorf
The Uplifted Yoga Podcast
What happens when healing becomes another thing you’re trying to achieve? In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Bailee for a tender conversation about grief, the feminine, Shuniya, and the power of not fixing yourself. We explore grief not as something you “get over,” but as a living process to be felt, held, and slowly alchemized. Bailee shares how her journey led her into deeper stillness, sensory awareness, sound, archetype, and the feminine mystery. This conversation asks: What if there is nothing to fix? What if the next step is learning how to listen differently? Inside this...

Feminine Kundalini Energy: Light, Dark & Tantric Archetypes
The Uplifted Yoga Podcast
Today’s episode is another behind-the-scenes look, this time inside my 200-hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training. This teaching comes from the Feminine Form Kundalini module, where we unpack what we mean by feminine energy. In yoga, tantra, and Kundalini, feminine energy isn’t about gender or identity. It’s archetypal energy, the Shakti current within all of us. In this clip, I explore Shiva and Shakti, the light and dark feminine, and why both matter. I’ll also look at how feminine energy becomes blocked, through over-control, disconnection from desire, difficulty receiving, and lack...

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 “spiritual” and “not spiritual.” 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,...

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: 🔹 Why metaphor activates the nervous system differently than...
info_outlineToday I chat with master coach and spiritual psychologist, Christine Hassler. We talk about the impact your inner child can have on your everyday life and how the subconscious programming that is formed during childhood influences your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. She shares practical techniques for cultivating a relationship with your inner child, and emphasizes the significance of reparenting ourselves and meeting the unmet needs from our childhood. This conversation will give you valuable insights and tools for healing and personal growth.
Discover:
🔹How the inner child represents the subconscious programming formed during childhood that influences our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs.
🔹Why childhood experiences, especially between the ages of zero to 12, shape our inner child and can lead to subconscious patterns and behaviors.
🔹That inner child work does not require remembering specific childhood memories; the body and subconscious still hold the emotional and energetic imprints.
