Are You Overgiving? How to Know and What to Do About it

I know you’ve heard me talk about how as healers we have a hard time charging for our services, but there is another trap we easily fall into similar to this: OVERGIVING.

Let’s explore: 🔹Overgiving can lead to feelings of resentment, depletion, and burnout. 🔹Setting boundaries and stating pure desires can help prevent over-giving. 🔹Focusing on quality over quantity is important in all areas of life. 🎉Download my sequences and get my free yoga playlist! => FREE Practice: Relevant Blog: Relevant to Today’s Episode: 📖 🐍 ✅ 🔮 🎧 Also Listen to: #327 – #323 – © 2024 Uplifted Yoga |

Somatic Yoga vs. Traditional Yoga- Breaking Down How 5 Poses Differ In Your Yoga Practice
Today, let’s explore the difference between traditional yoga and somatic yoga. While traditional yoga focuses on alignment, somatic yoga allows you to process and deeply feel your emotions. I will never tell you not to do a traditional yoga class, There is an incredible amount of value there and I have so much love for yogic tradition. But, I would like to encourage you to bring more somatic movement into your practice. Let’s discuss: 🔹Traditional yoga’s focus on alignment, strength, and breath control, while somatic yoga emphasizes embodiment, emotional processing, and non-habitual movement. 🔹Five common yoga poses that can be made more somatic: sufi grind, spinal flex, cat-cow, downward dog, and janu sirsasana. 🔹How somatic yoga allows individuals to deepen their connection with their bodies and process difficult emotions. 🎁 Get my FREE $67 Somatic Self Healing Workshop => 💖 Doors are closing for the fall cohort of my Somatic Yoga Life Coaching program.
