{E40} Built Up Emotions - Yoga Class

{E44} Turning a Career into a Mission Statement (with Sulaiman Sibai)

Ever watched something on the news and felt a pull to move mountains in an effort to help those being broadcasted? Me too!

Founder of Verse Stories, Sulaiman Sibai, didn't stop at the pull though, he went further. And so today, he shares the mission behind the creation of a news channel whose sole purpose is to provide a platform for anyone in the world to support those in need of help.

What first started as an ache to help those in need soon became a mission. And who of us have had that ache in our hearts after a news story and just let that ache pass out of not knowing what else to do?

Here’s your chance to listen to someone who took that and made something out of it!

{E43} Loving Heart - Yoga Class

Being the first class of the year, I thought it'd be great to set an intention in the form of a colour for the next few months.

In today's practice, we'll be moving into our heart. Really slowing things down to set the intention for our actions. Asking yourself, what do I want to feel and how can I cultivate this feeling more often?

As we move in and out through our flow, be mindful of each movement. Really listen to the positioning of your body. If you'd like a visual, I'll be uploading a downloadable pdf really soon for you - or keep in touch on Facebook and Instagram for a LIVE class.

Put your heart into it!

{E42} Anxiety & Mindfulness (with Dr. Nicole LePera)

Anxiety, they say, is you living in the future. Depression, is you living in the past. What if there was a middle ground between the two and you lived in that?

Dr. Nicole LePera is a psychologist in Philadelphia that views mental and physical struggles from a whole person perspective. She understands that balance is an integral part of wellness and empowers her patients to heal themselves, supporting them on their wellness journeys by identifying the underlying physical and emotional causes they carry.

In this episode, you'll hear:
how mindfulness practices brought her relief
her personal story with anxiety and panic attacks
the connection between the systems in the body (and how when one gets out of whack, they all feel the impact)
self-awareness and noticing your emotions - rather than react with emotion
the number 1 thing you can do right now to start to positively influence your well-being - and anxiety

{E41} Stand Up for Your Gut - Mindset Realign

We've all been there, gutted from accepting an offer we really didn't feel right (or comfortable!) with in the first place.

But if your gut spoke up, why didn't you??

This is the topic for today's Mindset Realign episode and a short story I share with you on how I overcame this endless loop - it really only takes one thing.

I hope it resonates with you and you take a little something you can put into practice right away.

{E40} Built Up Emotions - Yoga Class

You know those days when you feel a little low but have no idea why?

Maybe you woke up that way, had a dream about a loved one, or possibly even just the weather triggered some built up emotion you didn’t realize you hadn’t dealt with.

This 20 minute practice is meant to let yourself MOVE and RELEASE.

For those moments when you can't seem to get a grasp on the stream of emotions that flood through you, grab your mat and let’s start moving.

Release the tension these emotions have locked in your muscles and, hopefully, allow yourself to feel a little lighter.

This practice starts with a short breathing exercise you can incorporate at any time - be sure to add it to your toolbox!
