Guided Meditation for Busy Women to De-Stress (16 Minutes)

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

If you’ve been working all day, running around, or living a little too much in your head, this short guided meditation is designed to help you shift out of “doing” mode and back into being. In this visualization, I guide you into a peaceful nighttime beach setting where you encounter a radiant goddess figure who bathes you in what I call the nectar of compassion — a symbol of the feminine qualities many of us forget to give ourselves: softness, warmth, receptivity, and care. You can practice this meditation lying down and return to it anytime you need to release stress, reconnect with...

Are the Chakras Just New Age Woo? Yoga, Anatomy & the Truth Behind the Energy Centers

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

Are chakras just a New Age myth—or is there real wisdom behind the energy centers? In this episode, I unpack the skepticism around chakras—and why it’s totally valid. We explore how chakras are not physical organs, but symbolic energy centers that correlate with real anatomical structures like nerve plexuses and endocrine glands. I also share how the chakra system evolved in ancient yogic texts, and how yoga teachers can present chakras in a way that feels grounded, inclusive, and relevant. You’ll learn: 🔹 The historical roots of chakras in ancient yogic texts 🔹 How chakras align...

Hip Replacement & Yoga What Teachers Need to Know w Cyndi Stewart

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

What happens when your hips can no longer do what your yoga practice asks of them? In this deeply honest conversation, Uplifted alum Cyndi Stewart shares her journey toward hip replacement surgery — and the identity crisis that followed. As a longtime yoga teacher, intuitive healer, and movement lover, she opens up about navigating chronic hip pain, reduced mobility, and the emotional spiral that can come when your body no longer “performs.” We talk candidly about: 🔹 Early signs of hip degeneration and what yoga teachers often miss 🔹 Why strengthening matters more than stretching...

From Self-Improvement to Reverence (Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7)

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

Are you collecting yogic wisdom… or in a relationship with Divine mystery? Today we’re opening into Chapter 7 of the Bhagavad Gita, and it’s a true turning point. The first six chapters have been so much about discipline, self-mastery, and effort… but here, we pivot into the bhakti arc: relationship with the divine. Before we drop into the verses, I frame the big shift this chapter is asking of us — and I weave it through a distinction that changes everything: jnana (intellectual knowing) vs vijnana (realized, embodied knowing). Here are the 5 biggest takeaways from this episode:...

How I Get TV Segments & Talk on Camera (Without Stressing Out)

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

I recently went on live television — and it reminded me how much intentionality goes into both getting these opportunities and preparing for them. In this episode, I share how media invitations actually happened for me (spoiler: it wasn’t cold pitching networks)… and how I prep so live TV doesn’t fry my nervous system. If you have a book, retreat, teacher training, or offering you want to grow, this is the real behind-the-scenes. In this conversation, I cover: 🔹 The two-part strategy that builds visibility over time 🔹 Why doing “three uncomfortable things a day” changed my...

Yoga Doesn’t Have a Devil. So What’s the Enemy? (Part 1)

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

Let’s talk about something a little controversial today… the forces of evil. 👀 How do different wisdom traditions frame temptation, demons, and the dark forces that often appear right before a spiritual breakthrough? I’ll explore the story of Eve in the garden, Jesus in the desert, and Buddha under the Bodhi tree, comparing how each figure faces illusion, doubt, and distraction—and what we can learn from them in our own practice. I’ll also break down how yogic philosophy (and Hinduism more broadly) defines the “enemy” very differently—from the ego as adversary to karmic...

How the Chakras Relate to Polyvagal Theory + Your FAQ

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

What if your chakra “block” isn’t a block — but your nervous system doing its job? In this bonus episode, I go deeper into your most advanced chakra questions: from how the polyvagal ladder maps onto the energy body, to why certain life patterns keep repeating. We’ll explore how trauma, somatics, and subtle anatomy intersect — and why your healing path isn’t linear (and was never meant to be). We’ll explore: 🔹 Are chakras sequential or cyclical? 🔹 Why trauma theory transforms how we understand energy centers 🔹 How the koshas and gunas make chakra work more precise 🔹...

How to Get Inspired and Be Inspired (Even When You Feel Burned Out)

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

If you’ve been feeling stuck or uninspired—whether in your personal practice or your teaching—this episode is for you. I’m sharing how I’ve reignited my own creativity over the years, not by pushing harder, but by allowing myself to breathe in new experiences. From Da Vinci to Mirabai, from Einstein’s violin to the poetry of Lalla, I’ll take you on a journey that reveals the true source of inspiration—and how you can access it again (and again). Here’s what I’ll explore: 🔹 What “inspiration” really means (and why you can’t force it) 🔹 How to feed your creativity...

The Adi Shakti Mantra for Overwhelmed Women with Polly Standeven

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

If you’ve been feeling braced, overextended, or stuck in your head — this episode is for you. In this conversation with one of my Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training graduates, Polly of North & Soul, we explore the Adi Shakti mantra not as theory… but as medicine. This isn’t just a breakdown of Sanskrit. It’s a conversation about what happens when you stop micromanaging your life force — and allow energy to move again. In this episode, we explore: 🔹 Living at “two out of ten” versus fully expressed in your energy 🔹 Kundalini as your magnetism — your truest creative...

Trauma-Conscious Kundalini: A New Era of Teaching with Katrina Marie

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

Does Kundalini yoga have to be intense and activating? What if it could be trauma-conscious, deeply supportive, and even soothing? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Katrina Marie—trauma survivor, author, and lead trainer in Uplifted’s 200, 300, and Kundalini tracks—to explore how Kundalini yoga can be safely adapted for students with trauma and nervous system sensitivity. We talk about how to teach from a place of safety, how to create choice instead of pressure, and why your unique experience as a teacher is your gift. In this episode, we explore: 🔹 The difference...
