    Female Archetypes of Leadership with Anodea Judith Ph.D.

    Female Archetypes of Leadership with Anodea Judith Ph.D.

    🐍FREE $67 Feminine Form Yoga Masterclass https://www.brettlarkin.com/ffy?utm_medium=social&utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=ffy

    🌈 Live Chakra Challenge https://www.brettlarkin.com/chakralive/ 

    Today, I interview one of my personal teachers and mentors, Anodea Judith PhD, about reclaiming female archetypes of leadership. It’s time for women to rise up and take on more leadership in today’s world. Because women lead differently than men, their contributions are often unrecognized, even by the women themselves. But with archetypes to guide us, women and men can recognize, honor, and activate the many ways women uniquely contribute. 

    Together, we’ll dive into Anodea’s brand new 38 card archetype deck, including an empowering poetry reading on what it means to be the YOGI archetype. Discover ancient archetypes, such as the Priestess, the Oracle, or the Midwife, as well as newly emerging ones, such as the Activist, the Diva, the Yogini, or the Stateswoman. Learn:

    🔹 How to awaken your innate female leadership style

    🔹 The difference between an archetype and a stereotype

    🔹 What does knowing about these archetypes offer you

    Don’t miss this special conversation with one of my very favorite teachers. 

    GUEST EXPERT: Anodea Judith, Ph.D. | www.SheRisesCards.com | https://sacredcenters.com/

    Anodea Judith, Ph.D is a globally recognized teacher and the author of 9 books on chakras, yoga, psychology, social change, manifestation, and feminism, including the classics, Wheels of Life and Eastern Body-Western Mind.

Her most recent work, SHE RISES, centers on the ascension of feminine leadership and includes 38 illustrated cards of female archetypes.

    Unraveling the Mystery of Chronic Pain for Yoga Teachers & Practitioners with Kim Patel

    Unraveling the Mystery of Chronic Pain for Yoga Teachers & Practitioners with Kim Patel

    Living with chronic pain can be a nightmare. Teaching a yoga student with chronic pain can feel intimidating. Today, I’m joined by Uplifted 200-Hour and 300-Hour graduate, Kim Patel, to unpack how chronic pain is different from acute pain, and how to work with chronic pain in a yoga context. This fascinating conversation leads us into an in-depth conversation about the brain, the nervous system, phantom limb syndrome, as well as stories from my own life as the daughter of a war veteran with chronic pain. 

    Kim was working as a nurse when she developed a long-term pain condition related to her pregnancy which first sparked her interest in pain management. Kim offers one-to-one bespoke pain management blending her nursing knowledge and pain management qualifications with counseling, mindfulness, meditation and movement including yoga. She’s now in the final stages of her doctorate looking at chronic pain and self-concept related to acceptance.

    This is a must-listen for any yoga teacher looking to support students with injury, illness or pain.

    Today I’m sharing four pivots I’m making in both my business and personal life. I hope some of these are helpful or can inspire you! I discuss the importance of focusing on the current of manifestation rather than the current of liberation in your yoga practice. I also emphasize the significance of embracing Embodied Yoga and prioritizing pleasure (ooo-yah!). Additionally, I highlight the need for better management, delegation skills and effective energy management. I hope you enjoy these insights and ideas I’m striving to prioritize as we enter a new season. Enjoy!

    ✨ MY BOOK YOGA LIFE IS OUT! brettlarkin.com/yogalife

    We’re on the precipice of the New Year. It’s the perfect time to reflect on what yoga means to you, how to start or (re)start your practice… and convince everyone you love to do the same. It’s also the first episode in which I am a published author with my book YOGA LIFE available worldwide! To celebrate *all the things,* I invited my friend and celebrity life coach Lauren Zander to join me on the podcast this week to chat about:

    🔹 Why coaching and yoga work so synergistically together, and why you need both
    🔹 How to kickstart your yoga or “pitch” yoga to those around you who may be skeptical about getting on a mat (especially if they’re older, think they’ll “suck” or are “inflexible”)
    🔹 The history of modern yoga: proof that its always been evolving and why you must claim the permission slip to personalize your practice in 2024.

    I also share dozens of “Yoga Habits” from my book so you can slip yoga in on New Year’s Eve and Day, even if you’re traveling, cooking or can’t make time for a longer practice! Get ready for some fun.

    Burnout, Loss & the Yoga of Parenting with Sarah Ezrin

    Burnout, Loss & the Yoga of Parenting with Sarah Ezrin

    Candid conversation alert! Cozy up with me and my friend Sarah Ezrin where we talk about teaching yoga, being moms and why we strengthen our nervous systems by visualizing our children falling from the monkey bars at playgrounds while performing pranayama techniques (not kidding!). 

    Sarah started out working in the adrenaline-fueled film industry. Then, took that “hustle energy” into her yoga teacher career, resulting in burnout. After much heartbreak and loss, she wasn’t sure she ever wanted children, but now applies ancient yogic wisdom to motherhood. This is a beautiful listen for any yoga teachers, prospective parents or those with kids at home.

    Redefining “Sadhana” - 3 Key Tips

    Redefining “Sadhana” - 3 Key Tips

    Does your daily practice feel stagnant? Or like “hard work”? Maybe you’ve lost the joy. Or you’re struggling to find consistency. Perhaps yoga and meditation feel like another thing “to do.” If any of the above describe you, this episode is here to knock your socks off. It’s time to redefine the idea of “sadhana,” shift into devotion, realize you’re not “alone” when you practice, and to make your time on the mat the highlight of your day.

    Listen and learn:

    🔹The etymology of the word “sadhana”
    🔹How this concept evolved in the Gita and Bhakti Yoga, and ways to use these lesser-known aspects of sadhana for your benefit
    🔹Why revitalizing your home practice requires introspection, a hefty dose of pleasure, and does not need to take as much time as you think
