This episode, I dive into the ancient practice of Ujjayi Breath (Psychic Breath), and simplify it to be used in everyday life. This is definitely a practice you won't want to miss, as it is a great practice for all walks of life and situations (hence calling it the universal breath). This technique can help bring your body from "fight or flight" to "rest and digest" in a matter of minutes, and you can feel the difference immediately. Give this a listen if you're curious to know more about this simple way to bring your body back into its natural alignment in an easy and effective way.

Also, this can make you feel as though you're in a trance like state, hence the "psychic" part of the name translation. It does help you tap into higher states of consciousness, and can give you divine inspiration in many cases. Use with love and light in your mind, body, and spirit.

In today's episode, I go back to my Eastern philosophy roots that got me into yoga in the first place, Buddhist philosophy. Some people may call this Buddhism, however that sounds like a religion, which Gautama Buddha strictly advised against, hence I use the term "Buddhist philosophy" as I find it more accurate.

There is so much golden wisdom to behold within Eastern philosophy, this episode really only grazes the surface. If it sparks something within you, I highly suggest diving deeper on your own accord through books and audio books. Also, never forget that the wisdom you seek is also within you, if you just sit long enough to notice it.

The book I'm referencing here is The Dhammapada (The Buddha's Path of Truth). I have the kindle version, you can find that here. Bonus, it's only $1.00 for the ebook version! The book I have is translated by F. Max Muller, however I'm sure any translation will be beautiful and enlightening. I don't get any commission from the sale of this book lol. Just spreading the good word.

Hello friends! Welcome back to another episode of Holistic Hatha Yoga. This week, I talk about why meditation and stillness are so important to understanding our deepest self. We dive into practical tips and tricks for beginning meditation, as well as the science behind processing our emotions for our overall wellbeing.

We also discuss how although aligned action is necessary, sometimes the medicine is in stillness and rest to activate the healing we most deeply need. If you need a permission slip to rest and relax into stillness, here it is my dear.

In this weeks episode, we dive into some simple, easy, physical routines to implement into your life to help maintain optimum health (as told by yoga and Ayurvedic medicine).

I said I would link to a tongue graphic, but I really can't without getting in copyright trouble LOL. So simply search an image of "Ayurvedic tongue chart" and lots of things will come up. It mostly shows where the organs are related to what area (much like reflexology in the hands and feet). This helps us keep an eye on our whole body health in a regular way. It also allows us to notice any changes, which may be important! Getting a copper tongue scraper from Etsy is also a great idea!

I mention Sun Salutations as well in this episode. If you aren't familiar, here's a simple how-to video on Sun Salutations for beginners!

I also mention Khapal Bhati or skull shining breath. You can find an (old) video of that here!

Otherwise, I hope you find this helpful friend. One love! See you next week!

In this episode, we go over the traditional meanings of ancient yogas, such as karma yoga, buddhi yoga, jnana yoga, and more as per the Bhagavad Gita. I go over some important verses in the Bhagavad Gita where we discuss how taking part in buddhi yoga is the key to being released from the entanglement of this material world. Today, we dive deep into the mystical, ancient world of yoga, and come back with a new understanding of how we connect it to our everyday lives.

In this episode, we cover the tridoshas, or the three Doshas, how they work in our lives, and how to use them to balance ourselves to maintain optimum health. Check out my past episode where I explain each dosha in depth for the best understanding. This one acts as a "part 2," where I explain how to use your dosha to heal yourself.

Want to know your dosha but aren't quite sure how? I made a free checklist that helps you determine exactly what dosha(s) you are! You can find that free download here.

The book I reference in this podcast episode is "Ayurveda: The Science of Self Healing: A Practical Guide" by Dr. Vasant Lad. I highly recommend this book (no, this is not an ad or promo!) as it's practical and useful in your everyday life. I've gone back to this book again and again over the past 13 years and it will always have a place on my shelf! You can find that book here.

I hope you find this episode helpful in you discovering your body tendencies and type, and gives you new ways to balance your health holistically.
