In this episode, I had the opportunity to chat with Amanda Stanley and hear her story on becoming sober. She shares the tools that helped including yoga and meditation, and the struggles she faced along the way. She was only a social drinker, but I could definitely relate to some of her experiences and how it was having a negative impact on some aspects of her life. To connect with Amanda, follow her on Instagram at @yogawithamanda99 and feel free to send her a message, she would love to help you along your own journey!

In this episode I had the pleasure of interviewing Brent Buckelew, a local yoga teacher who teaches a restorative and all-level flow class at Love Yoga in North Albany. Brent has been practicing yoga for 5 years and moved to Oregon from Alabama in 2018. From starting a non-profit yoga studio out of his house to completing an intense yoga teacher training in Bali, he's had quite the yoga journey so far! I discovered his yoga nidra class on Superbowl Sunday of 2018, and have been sold on guided meditations ever since. He now incorporates Yoga Nidra into the second half of his restorative class. In this episode he shares his knowledge of Yoga Nidra, gets briefly into the science behind it, and explains the benefits for both children and adults, as well as how this practice is being used in the army. You can try his Yoga Nidra class before he moves in June on Sunday nights at Love Yoga from 7-8:15pm, or his all-level flow class on Monday afternoons from 4:15-5:15pm. Find out where Brent will be teaching in the future by following him on Facebook at "Brent's Yoga Page" or shoot him a email at [email protected].

In this episode, I share with you a few breathing exercises that I’ve learned from the teachers at Love Yoga that help reduce anxiety. I use gentle music and walk you through a guided body scan before guiding you through a meditation designed to release anxiety from the body and mind.

This is a beginner guided meditation to help you release stress from the body and mind. I start with a water glass analogy and how it relates to stress, guide you through a body scan, then move into about a 8 minute guided meditation to release stress from various points in the body.

In this episode I use gentle music, a guided body scan, and a guided meditation to help you find your bliss. We work on discovering limiting beliefs, blockers, and anything else that is preventing you from feeling more joy, happiness, and energy.
