The Uplifted Yoga Podcast
What if the patterns running your life didn’t start with you?

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast
What if the deepest spiritual secret wasn’t hidden somewhere far away, but woven into your ordinary life right now?

This episode explores the heart of bhakti yoga: devotion, relationship with the divine, and the radical idea that the sacred permeates everything. We explore: 🔹 Why Krishna says the divine is both everywhere and beyond everything 🔹 The paradox at the center of yoga...

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?

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...

What Happens When You Die Bhagavad Gita Chapter 8 Explained
The Uplifted Yoga Podcast
What will your final thought be? In Chapter 8 of the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna gives a surprising answer: your last thought isn’t something you can control in the moment — it’s the result of what you’ve practiced thinking about your entire life.

Yoga Doesn’t Have a Devil. So What’s the Enemy? Part 2
The Uplifted Yoga Podcast
If yoga doesn’t really have a Satan figure…what’s the enemy? In this second part of my comparative theology series, I explore what Hindu philosophy names as the real obstacle on the spiritual path: ego, desire, delusion, and ignorance. We continue tracing parallels between Jesus, Buddha, and Hindu mythology — but here the focus sharpens around one big idea: the deepest danger isn’t pleasure or power. It’s misidentification. In this episode, I explore: 🔹 Why the “enemy” in yoga often sounds like self-doubt, ego, and identity insecurity 🔹 What Hindu myths reveal about...

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

In this episode, I share why texts like the Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita, and Upanishads were never meant to be read alone—and how studying in community can completely transform your understanding.

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.
