Ryan Cunningham (they/them) is a Boston-based yoga practitioner. Their practice arises from the view that yoga is both an experience of, and a path towards cultivating wellness through the practice of embodiment, meditation, prayer and reflection. 

Ryan has been influenced primarily by two Boston area teachers — Barbara Benagh and Tom Alden. They spent many years attending Barbara's weekly teachers' class as well as her course entitled "The Art of Teaching". Over the past 7 years, Ryan has studied primarily with Tom Alden in a one-on-one mentorship format, specifically focusing on dharma, biomechanics and yoga therapy. Ryan is deeply interested in the intersection of hatha yoga and dharma and continues to practice and study in various dharma communities. 

Ryan's primary focus has been teaching students the skills and understanding that enables them to practice for themselves. Apart from group asana and meditation classes, Ryan works with students 1-on-1, offering instruction, discussing, manual therapy and mentorship. 

Ryan serves as the Managing Director of the Boston Meditation Center, is a faculty  member at Berklee College of Music and is the host of Unrolled Podcast with co-host Kate Robinson.

You can learn more about their teaching at www.ryanyoga.com.

Show Notes

#055  Fed up with diets and wellness hype? Christine Okezie is on a mission to guide you to approach your food, weight and body image challenges from a genuinely "whole-istic" perspective.  She's passionate about you having the right tools to understand the deeper soul truths in your health challenges so you can feel empowered in your body and in your life.

When it comes to food and weight struggles, living disconnected from our bodies is almost always the case – after all being in our bodies can feel uncomfortable, perhaps even painful or scary – this makes caring for our bodies feel even more like a burden.

I've made it my mission in life to guide people to embrace their body as a divine portal to healing, growth and transformation. 

Today’s guest is a passionate expert when it comes to guiding people to the power of fully inhabiting their bodies.  She’s Julia Paulette Hollenbery, author, speaker and personal transformation workshop leader.   We dive deep into her soon to be released book, The Healing Power of Pleasure, 7 Medicines For Rediscovering the Joy of Being, a step-by-step journey into sensuality to rediscover the delight that lies just below the surface of everyday experience.   In this soulful conversation, we explore strategies for body awareness, dealing with emotions stored in the body by coming home to the pleasure of discovering our true selves, our bodies and the world.

*** Trigger Warning, this episode contains references to childhood sexual abuse and PTSD.

Marianne Steele's story is one that could fill the pages of a novel. She so graciously allows us to peek inside a story that begins with a traumatic childhood and launches from the era of free love, communal living in none other than San Franciso, and catapulted into an adventure born of her impulse to survive.

Marianne speaks frankly about so often she had met her own trauma from the healing born of the mind and it wasn't until she had a major breakdown of the body in the last few years that she began to truly reckon with what healing looks like, how to self-care and facing the diagnosis of complex PTSD.

Marianne now words as a Shiatsu bodyworker, an energy worker, an intuitive teacher, and a medium.

*** To try out the Bishop Method for free go here:  www.bishopmethod.com/blade ***

When we experience tension, we cannot fully experience reality in that moment.  When we work through our tension we liberate our consciousness to align with our higher calling.

Andrew Bishop (Founder of the Bishop Method) joins Dave to discuss the evolution of his own bodywork method that become fantastically popular amongst practitioners of meditation looking to find deeper embodiment.

His slogan is "Getting out of your Own Way!" and in this interview we discuss:

* What is the Bishop Method and how it works?
* How 'tension' is one thing experienced three-fold by the body, emotions and mind
* How body work can dissolve emotional challenges and chronic mental patterns
* How the body is the key to unlocking deeper layers of awareness and perception
* How imbalance and tension forms over the course of our lives
* Why retraining the subconscious mind is more powerful and effective than working with the cognitive mind
* The body is wired to give us protection and pleasure - how does it go wrong?
* Problems caused by a mis-wiring of the body's protective mechanisms & how addictions are a mis-wiring of our pleasure responses
* Why we end up making poorer choices late at night
* Why flexible evolution is much more powerful and potent than traditional purity

Also, I just finished a new music album of guitar pieces tuned to astrological cycles and channeled from higher spaces.  You can stream/download here:

Today the ladies share another conversation about business and entrepreneurship in the field of Wellness, Bodywork, and fitness. This time a closer look at what these types of jobs may look like.  The differences between being an independent contractor and owning your own facility.  There are definitely pros and cons to both styles of business and it will really depend on your stage of life and what level of time and money you are able to commit to its growth. We’ve just scraped the surface on this topic.

What does money look like for you? What is your enough? How are these fields changing? Fitness and health based business are growing and thriving. More and more people are seeking to be proactive in their health, fitness, stress reduction because our lifestyles are requiring it more and more. 

Heather Glidden is a holistic fitness provider, bodyworker, meditation, life and business coach, studio owner and author of How to Thrive in Your Healing Business. Today the ladies talk to Heather about the connection between movement and healing, some of her personal struggles and triumphs on the journey to becoming a healing entrepreneur, and the importance of listening to your body and caring your yourself in order to really be of service to others.  If you’re in the business of healing or caretaking, today's episode is a MUST listen!  

Heather is continually amazed by the transformative power of movement in her own body and the bodies of others. This potential for transformation has been the driving force behind her work since she began teaching in 2004, and it is the primary inspiration for this studio.

Her training has taken her around the world, studying with top instructors including Gyrotonic Method creator Juliu Horvath. She believes that true health is multi-dimensional, and she works with each client to discover how their movement training can best serve their overall wellness.

Her extensive training and detailed knowledge of anatomy, combined with years of experience, allow her to work with a wide variety of clients. Her experience includes work with athletes and dancers as well as those with shoulder and neck pain, scoliosis, spine issues of many varieties, hip replacement, foot and ankle issues, knee pain, and stroke recovery.

Each client has unique needs, and Heather creatively combines her full range of skills in every session. Heather’s sessions use the Gyrotonic methodology as their framework but may also incorporate elements of massage, Pilates, or life coaching as indicated.

Heather is also a licensed Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis pre-trainer under master trainer Lisa Lansing. She is honored to have this opportunity to share the joy of the Gyrotonic method with new instructors.
