  • Episode 14: Asteya (non-stealing) with Kennae Miller

    “How are we stealing from ourselves by not doing what our souls are really asking us to do?” - Kennae Miller


    Exploring the Eight Limbs: The Path to Raja Yoga


    On this episode I’m joined by Kennae Miller (she/her). Kennae is a decolonial healing guide, teacher and speaker centering the Black lived experience. She offers Ayurveda, Herbalism, the laying of hands (Reiki), Yoga and Yoga Therapy as tools on the path to healing and liberation.


    We discuss the Yama, Asteya (non-stealing), and the ways we tend to self-sabotage and how that leads to sabotage in other parts of our life. Kennae also shares her journey to yoga (very spiritual), how we can show up authentically, and a very interesting stories on yoga retreats!

    Exploring the Eight Limbs of Raja Yoga


    Each week we will delve deeper into one of the eight limbs of Raja Yoga


    Satya (truthfulness):

    - Kind vs nice

    - What do you want vs what do you suppress?

    - Discipline through truth

    - Who are you “naked”?

  • Episode 12: What Ahimsa Taught Me About Parenting, Love, and Business

    


    Getting deeper into the Yamas has reflected in a lot of self-discovery:

    - Self-validation over anyone else’s opinion

    - Allowing my sons to learn, explore, and not diminish their power

    - Why hearing back (or) not from a company isn’t the end of the world

    - Realizing I rather do life (happily) alone

    - Sharing how I would have an epic love story with someone I thought I was madly in love with.

  • Episode 8: Meditation and Breathwork for Cortisol
    Cortisol levels spiking from time to time is normal as it types into or sense of danger but when it stays spiked for too long, it can cause issues in our body such as weight gain and fatigue. You’ll be using the 4-7-8 breath method for this session. You can perform this while seated or lying down.
