Soul Stretch Conversations

We're rounding out our final three enneagram personalities and we chat about those "party people" 7s, those challenging 8s and the peace-keeping 9s who we all need a little of in our lives. #7 - the Enthusiast. Extroverted, optimistic, versatile and spontaneous. Ready for a party? They are!#8 - the Challenger. Self-confident, strong and assertive. They're protective and decisive but crave control. We need them and they drive us crazy too.#9 - the Mediator. Accepting, trusting, stable. t...

Hello Lovelies! Rose and Tina are so excited to be back and they've got a few podcasts ready to go on a topic so many people are talking about: the Enneagrams. Rose says that studying the Enneagram has been life changing for her. What are they? And why do we want to know? The Enneagram is a system of personality typing that describes patterns in how people interpret the world and manage their emotions. The Enneagram describes nine personality types and maps each of these types on a nine-...

We all say some dirty words here or there. We know Rose has a special gift in swearing. In fact, comedian George Carlin has a famous bit about the 7 dirty words. But the dirtiest word you can possibly say to yourself is something we say every single day: SHOULD. "I should do THIS... I should do THAT." Lovelies, it's time to stop "Shoulding" ourselves, our partners, our families and realize how damaging it is to our hearts and souls. Can you do it? We hope you'll try. You can...

We're back, friends... and once again we find ourselves managing a lot of change in our lives. How can a yogi ride the waves of life changes in a positive way, so we don't find ourselves asking "Who Moved My Cheese"? We turn to our Italian heritage for a special mantra: "Momento Mori" or "Remember Your Death". It's the lone constant in life, but let's not think of it in a scary, morbid way. Think of it in how you want to live. We're so happy to be back, Lovelies.

It's amazing what a good book can do for the soul. In this podcast (recorded just before Halloween), Rose shares her recent book club experience reading the book "Rhythms of Renewal: Trading Stress and Anxiety for a Life of Peace and Purpose" by Rebekah Lyons. Rebekah isn't a yogi, but oh how her writing speaks to the yogi soul. Lyons' book came out in 2019, but her words resonate deeply as we struggle through the rest of 2020. The four rhythms - Rest, Restore, Connect and Create ...

There have been SO many changes in our lives in the recent weeks. We can't help but recognize this new age we're all living in. It is clear that we're all experiencing different levels of discord and even chaos. Sometimes, we even share our anxieties and fears with others in a way that robs them of their peace. So, what does a yogi need to get through this time? How about we start giving each other (and ourselves!) a little space and grace. Rose offers up a challenge for each yogi to di...

It's been a long quarantine, Lovelies, and maybe we're finally beginning to see a light at the end of the tunnel. Rose and Tina return to talk about the stages of emotions they each experienced during the COVID shutdown. From worry to sadness to downright rage, we've all found ourselves experiencing feelings we didn't anticipate. What will our lives look like after this? How will each of us use this "life reset" and redefine what normal should be. We'll talk about an animal totem - the ...

Religion. Spirituality. Yoga. Over the years, I’ve heard a lot of chit-chat at Soul Stretch and at other yoga events about those three words… religion, spirituality, yoga, and whether you can be right with your religion and still practice yoga, whether spirituality is religious in nature, if all three are different sides of the same triangle. Well, lovelies, I’m here to tell you that for this yogi, they are not mutually exclusive practices. They all teach us that there is more to li...
