I'm joined this week by Heather Ivany, renowned holistic practitioner teaching yoga, meditation, and Akashic reading. Heather has been offering private and public classes, workshops, and retreats for over 20 years.

Heather had a career as a firefighter when she decided to teach herself yoga by reading The Woman’s Book of Yoga and Health by Linda Sparrowe. She went on to yoga teacher training in Victoria, B.C. The study of yoga has helped Heather to develop a softer, more feminine side of herself, contrasting with the more masculine energy she cultivated before.

Heather has become popular for saying that we can use resistance constructively as our ally. All of us have blind spots and can be susceptible to being swayed by resistance. Heather points out that resistance is tough to rationalize with and believes that the best way to deal with resistance is to create an intention that is more powerful than resistance.

Along with ways to deal with resistance, Heather will share the routines and nonnegotiables that keep her centered and aligned with her purpose.

In this episode, we will discuss:

Heather's mentorship program, Unlocking You, combines innovative methods to help individuals connect to their higher self, align with their soul's purpose, and stay on track even when they are being swayed. The four-month program starts on April 14th. Heather also offers private programs year-round.

I am thrilled to have her on and here is everything we talk about in this podcast:

The journey that got her started on this path and her connection to yoga.

How yoga was a turning point for Elena in steering away from negative aspects of her life.

What is the purpose of practicing yoga for the community - spirituality, reconnecting, or fitness.

Elena’s outreach programs include donating art, teaching benefit classes, girls on fire leaders focused on adolescent girls in Kenya.

Dealing with the ethical dilemma of being in the wellness industry and having a thriving business.

In today’s episode of the Balanced Being Podcast, I want to talk about two concepts that stayed with me after attending an orthodontic conference called Orthoprenuers, I attended with my wife.

Here are two concepts that resonated with me:

If you can do these three correctly, you will become the average of all these five. So, think about the five people you are around, and if they are helping you push yourself to achieve your goals. Share your goals with them and see if they support you or hold you down.

I hope you enjoy this episode. Thank you for listening.

In today’s episode of “Balanced Being Podcast”, I want to share my experience with a very interesting workshop by Robin Sharma. I attended this training session and at the end of it, he asked the attendees to do something very fascinating. He asked us to think about the last day of our lives and how we would want to be remembered. This question was not meant to set a somber mood but to really make us think!

So, I thought I should talk about it in today’s episode.

Having practiced this myself, I can testify that it is an impactful exercise and will prove extremely helpful to you. I hope you enjoy this episode.

Wishing you the best of health,

In today's episode, we have Deep who is a first-generation American with Punjabi ancestry. He has been influenced by his heritage including yoga, Sikhism, and Islam. His work is rooted in establishing a balance between the practical and the mystical. He has studied yoga, ashtanga vinyasa, yoga nidra and teaches it as well. He has written a book of poetry and short stories titled "innocence" that was just launched. The book in itself is an experience according to Deep.

We have an exciting episode for you today as we explore the message and impact Deep aims to leave with his work be it as a Yogi, coach, or his book. Deep inspires people to look within themselves. This is what we talk about:

You can order his book “innocence” through innocencebydeep.com.
