Worrier to Warrior

The underpinnings of yoga include lifetimes worth of wisdom, symbolism and mythology to inspire and enrich the experience of the practitioner. In our contemporary practice, it’s easy to be unaware of how postures got their names, the reasons for chanting and the beauty of the epic tales that are an integral part of yoga philosophy and history. This week we are so lucky to learn from Sarah Cutfield, a yoga teacher and forever student who has dedicated her life to keeping the traditions of yoga alive in a way they can be supportive to us our modern lives. In this episode Sarah tells us one of her favourite classic stories that reinforces a truth that is meaningful at this time in the world- we are so much more than we think we are and we are all in this together. 

About Sarah
Sarah Cutfield is a Vancouver, Canada based yoga teacher and educator of teacher trainees at Semperviva Yoga College.

He recently co-led a retreat for couples that Lisa and her partner attended where he shared this revolutionary mode of healing which combines somatic, body-centered psychotherapy and spiritual process which seeks to release emotional blocks which are often held in the physical body.

Did you know there are massive benefits to being inspired? On this episode, Aimee and Lisa talk about the importance of inspiration and how they keep themselves inspired. 

They refer to a quote Lisa read years ago that suggests offering gratitude upon waking each morning and asking for just one thing- inspiration. 

Being open and present paves the way for inspiration to enter- maybe in the form of a new idea or perspective for solving a dilemma, improving a relationship or creating a deeper connection to something greater than ourselves.

For every woman who ever felt not good enough in some way- not smart enough, pretty enough, not a good enough mother, friend or daughter- this one’s for you. Aimee and Lisa have an unexpected therapy session with their regular guest Jodi Krahn as they relay a recent revisit of unhealed, younger parts of themselves who learned they needed to be good to be loved. Aimee tells a story of her teenage self who learned she didn’t belong and Lisa recounts a moment in childhood when she learned the perils of dropping the ball. This vulnerable conversation takes us through the process of reclaiming the exiled parts of ourselves, why we struggle with shame and how we can come back to love and learn to get on with the serious business of living a life of acceptance.

When was the last time you took some time to truly celebrate you, your accomplishments and how far you’ve come? Lately, Aimee and Lisa have been reminded to take a minute and soak up the good stuff when it arrives, instead of moving right on to the next thing. They offer some inspiration for celebrating life’s sweetnesses and contemplate why it’s so challenging to remember that we already have and are enough.
