What If I Fail? Krishna’s Answer to Your Inner Critic (Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6)

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

It’s Chapter Six of the Bhagavad Gita, where everything starts to get real. After five chapters of philosophy and frameworks, Krishna now turns to practice—specifically the challenges of meditation, discipline, and staying steady on your spiritual path. If your mind feels too restless to meditate... if you wonder whether your practice actually counts... or if you've ever feared you’re "doing it wrong"—this chapter will soothe your soul. 🔹 Krishna reveals why inner discipline > outer rituals 🔹 Arjuna expresses the doubts we all have on the path 🔹 Meditation becomes the core...

Why You Keep Failing at Self-Care — and What to Do Differently

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

Self-care isn’t a luxury — it’s your foundation. Today, we explore why self-care can feel so uncomfortable (especially for those of us used to being the strong one), and how to start building your tolerance for pleasure, rest, and receiving. These are the same micro-practices that have transformed my relationship with myself and my energy over time. Here are the truths I keep learning again and again: 🔹 You can’t give from an empty cup 🔹 Self-care isn’t something you check off once — it’s ongoing 🔹 Honoring your tiniest desires builds self-trust 🔹 Slowing down unlocks...

How Chakras Relate to the Nervous System + Your FAQ

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

SURPRISE!! I’ve got a bonus episode for you this week.

If you’ve ever wondered how these energy centers show up in your posture, behavior, and emotions — this quick breakdown...

Stop Asking “What Should I Do?” — The Bhagavad Gita Chapter 5 Has a Better Question

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

Today, I take you into Chapter 5 of the Bhagavad Gita, where Krishna shifts the spotlight from what you do to how you are being when you do it. This is the heart of Karma Yoga — acting in the world without clinging to the outcome. We unpack the powerful metaphor of the lotus leaf (living in the world, untouched), explore the nature of witness consciousness, and look at what it really means to "renounce" in a modern world. 🔹 What it means to act without attachment 🔹 Why the question is no longer “What should I do?” 🔹 How inner renunciation leads to clarity and peace 🔹...

Who Has Your Attention? Attention Economy vs the Ancient Path

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

Let’s be real — our attention is under attack. Between scroll culture, constant notifications, and never-ending to-do lists, it’s hard to focus on what actually matters. In this episode, I’m inviting you to pause and reflect on where your precious energy is going. We’ll explore how ancient yogic and Vedantic texts can help us reclaim our attention — not just as a productivity tool, but as a sacred spiritual practice. If you’ve been feeling scattered, stuck, or overstimulated, this one’s for you. We’ll look at how: 🔹 Attention is energy — what you focus on creates your...

[Meditation] Taking in the Good

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

Instead, I have a gift for you—a guided meditation designed to help you do something surprisingly hard: feel good and stay in it.

This book is the heart of everything I’ve been teaching, practicing, and living — and I can’t wait for you to hold it in your hands.
