If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or out of sync with yourself, understanding the five layer of yoga can give you a practical, transformative way to feel better; physically, mentally, and emotionally.

I’ll be breaking down each layer, from the most tangible (your physical body) to the most subtle (your bliss layer), and showing you how they’re all interconnected. Plus, I’ll share how you can use these layers as “routes in” to improve how you feel, whether that’s through movement, breath, or mindset (or all 3!)

Here’s what we cover:

🪷 The Physical Layer: Your skin, bones, muscles, and everything you can touch

🪷 The Energetic Layer: Your breath and vitality, and how frazzled energy is tied to frazzled breathing

🪷 The Mental Layer: Your thoughts, emotions, and inner dialogue, and how they shape your energy and body

🪷 The Wisdom Layer: Your inner compass, insight and intuition

🪷 The Bliss Layer: That deep sense of peace and joy

You’ll learn how to use these layers to shift your state, whether you’re feeling anxious, exhausted, or just out of sorts. By the end, you’ll have three powerful “routes in” to create more clarity, calm, and connection in your daily life.

When most people think of yoga, they picture the physical postures; the asana. But there’s so much more to yoga…

In this week’s All of Yoga podcast, we're exploring the Eight Limbs of Yoga - but with a twist! You're probably already familiar asana (limb 3), so this episode is The Other 7 Limbs. 🥰

Expect to hear how the yamas, niyamas, breathwork, and meditation can become practical tools for daily life, helping you reduce stress, and feel more joy… without spiritual bypassing.

(I also share a personal story from 2020, when yoga philosophy helped me navigate one of the most challenging years of my life.)

Whether you’re new to yoga philosophy or have studied it before, this episode is packed with insights you can start using right now.

Enjoy!

Relaxation - it sounds so simple, yet it’s one of the biggest challenges of modern life. Why is it so hard to truly rest, even when we know we need it? 

In this episode, we explore the science behind why relaxation doesn’t come easily and, more importantly, how you can train your nervous system to make rest feel safe, natural, and deeply healing.

If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “I’ll relax when this task is done,” or struggling to switch off even when you try, this episode is for you. 

Expect practical tools, science-backed insights, and gentle encouragement to help you break free from the stress cycle and embrace rest as a skill you can practice and strengthen.

What you’ll learn:

🧠 Why your nervous system resists relaxation and how stress becomes your “new normal.”

🧠 The role of your sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) in keeping you stuck in overdrive.

🧠 How to signal safety to your body and shift into a state of rest and recovery.

🧠 Practical tools to make relaxation easier, including breathwork, grounding movement, and Yoga Nidra.

🧠 Why removing the pressure to “relax perfectly” is key to building a sustainable relaxation practice.

Key takeaways:

✅ Start with Your Nervous System: Relaxation isn’t just a mental decision, it’s a full-body state. Practices like breathwork, grounding movement, and Yoga Nidra  help signal to your body that it’s safe to rest.

✅ Remove the pressure: Let go of the idea that relaxation has to look or feel a certain way. Even small moments of rest count.

✅  Practice regularly, not perfectly: Relaxation is a skill that gets easier with practice. The more you train your nervous system, the more natural rest will feel.
