PODCAST

In this deeply honest conversation, Uplifted alum Cyndi Stewart shares her journey toward hip replacement surgery — and the identity crisis that followed. As a longtime yoga teacher, intuitive healer, and movement lover, she opens up about navigating chronic hip pain, reduced mobility, and the emotional spiral that can come when your body no longer “performs.”

Are you collecting yogic wisdom… or in a relationship with Divine mystery? Today we’re opening into Chapter 7 of the Bhagavad Gita, and it’s a true turning point.

Let’s talk about something a little controversial today… the forces of evil. 👀
How do different wisdom traditions frame temptation, demons, and the dark forces that often appear right before a spiritual breakthrough?

If you’ve been feeling stuck or uninspired—whether in your personal practice or your teaching—this episode is for you.
I’m sharing how I’ve reignited my own creativity over the years, not by pushing harder, but by allowing myself to breathe in new experiences.

In this conversation with one of my Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training graduates, Polly of North & Soul, we explore the Adi Shakti mantra not as theory… but as medicine. This isn’t just a breakdown of Sanskrit.

Are you addicted to efficiency? This episode explores the fifth Yama, Aparigraha — non-grasping, through the lens of modern life. We talk hoarding… not of stuff, but of tasks, to-dos, and productivity itself.

This episode is a bridge — between effort and surrender, empowerment and comfort, self-regulation and devotion — as we explore this question from a comparative, academic, and curious lens.

I’m going to explore three of the most commonly asked questions I hear from students about the chakras — especially how they relate to the nervous system, your fascia, and lived experience.

Today, I take you into Chapter 5 of the Bhagavad Gita, where Krishna shifts the spotlight from what you do to how you are being when you do it. This is the heart of Karma Yoga — acting in the world without clinging to the outcome.

Let’s be real — our attention is under attack. Between scroll culture, constant notifications, and never-ending to-do lists, it’s hard to focus on what actually matters. In this episode, I’m inviting you to pause and reflect on where your precious energy is going.

In this episode, I talk with Yunus Maximus, a bold, creative soul who’s chosen a countercultural path in today’s tech-saturated world.

In Part 2 of our exploration of the Vayus, I explore Udana Vayu (upward-moving energy) and Vyana Vayu (the expansive force that integrates everything), and how they influence expression, circulation, and embodiment. We connect the Vayus to chakras, Ayurveda, mudras, and practical tools you can use to balance these energies in your body and teaching.
