Somatic Shaking: What Is It? Why Does it Work?
Do you ever feel like you’re shaking with rage? Or do you tremble with anxiety? Because your body uses shaking as a means to release stress and trauma from the body! This is a normal response, but cultural conditioning has suppressed our natural inclination to shake off tension. It’s important to care for our bodies, just as we would for pets, and learn to close the stress cycle. Somatic shaking can help. Take a breath, give yourself a little shake, and let’s talk about how: 🔹Neurogenic tremors occur in both animals and humans after stressful events 🔹Time does not heal wounds; it covers them with fascia 🔹Incorporating shaking into daily life can help manage stress 💗Get My Free Somatic Yoga Workshop => Video discussed: FREE Practice: Relevant Blog: Relevant to Today’s Episode: ✅ 💖 🔮 🎧 Also Listen to: #318 – #330 – #332 – © 2024 Uplifted Yoga |

Less Is More - How To Honor Yourself & Your Students with Elena Brower
Today, I interview one of my biggest mentors, Elena Brower. I ask her about the tension many of us feel as yoga teachers: How do we honor our own personal practice (which may be morphing away from the style of yoga we’re known for), while still meeting our students' where they are? How do we not feel pigeon-holed by a certain technique or style? And trust our own voice? Listen in as we discuss: 🔹 How Elena’s teaching reached me in the most unexpected of places, changing the trajectory of my life and career 🔹 Where yoga and buddhism differ, overlap and compliment one another 🔹Workaholism and how to craft your time to honor your own needs We also discuss our favorite books, and ways to open up space for creativity in your life. Thank you, Elena, for your energy in this conversation. GUEST EXPERT: Elena Brower | Mother, mentor, poet, artist, volunteer, bestselling author and host of the Practice You Podcast, Elena Brower has taught yoga and meditation since 1999. Her first book, Art of Attention, has been translated into seven languages; her second, Practice You, is a bestseller. Elena's first collection of poetry, Softening Time, was released in May 2023. Her yoga classes and meditations are featured on Glo. She has an Engaged Mentorship program and Perceptive Parenting audio course and she's commencing Buddhist Chaplaincy training in 2024.

Origins of Kundalini & the Yogi Bhajan Scandal - Part 1
Even though it’s been years since news broke of the Yogi Bhajan scandal a lot of practitioners still question the integrity of the profound practice that is kundalini yoga. Today’s episode is a conversation between my Kundalini University partner Guru Singh and myself in which we answer all of the community’s questions on this topic. This is a full lecture from within the program so I had to split it into two parts to share with you. In Part One we discuss: 🔹The true origins of kundalini yoga and it’s lineage 🔹The fact that nobody “owns” yoga because it is a science 🔹How to separate the teachings from the teacher Don’t forget to keep an eye out for Part Two where we’ll start with the question, “Is 3HO a cult?” I’ll see you there! 🐍 Grab my Free Kundalini Workshop “Refine Your Tune In”: Loved this?
