Yoga Magic

Ashley sits down with friend and fellow podcaster Julia Karol. Julia is building a family. Along the way, she is asking anyone and everyone about how they came to make the decisions they did regarding family life. On her podcast Stork'd, she's opening up an honest, funny, raw, and earnest conversation looking at what creating a family really means and how it might show up differently than expected. Julia herself has created a family in a non-traditional way as a solo parent. While fiercely rooted in her spiritual practice, intuitive guidance and dedication to her own joy, she manifested her son through IUI. In this episode we discuss Julia’s path to parenthood, the fear, envy and pain of fertility struggles, her spiritual journey as an individual leading into motherhood and the self-care practices she’s leaning into as a new mom.

On this week's episode of Yoga Magic, Ashley sits down spiritual teacher Ava Johanna. Ava is the founder and visionary behind The Academy of Breath, an international breathwork and meditation school focused on making these ancient embodiment practices household tools across the globe. In this episode we discuss Ava's childhood challenges and how it shaped her path today, breathwork as a daily practice, the balance of spirituality and embodiment, exploring personal pleasure and how to become a certified breathwork and meditation teacher yourself.

On this week's episode of Yoga Magic, Ashley sits down with Mindset & Manifestation Coach Efia Sulter. Efia's helpful perspective sheds light on the tendency to brush over the full gamut of our emotions and force ourselves into toxic positivity (a manifestation block) and why leaning into how we truly feel can bring clarity and light to where we have to work.

She reminds us that “manifestation should never be ignoring that your {past challenges} exist. It’s about having compassion for yourself in the process."

In this episode we discuss why some manifestations might be slower than we'd like, manifestation and privilege, toxic positive, the possibility of manifesting something BAD, aligning manifestations with values and actions required to see results.

Today on Yoga Magic, Ashley sits down with entrepreneur Mollie Kregnel. For Mollie Krengel, living with more meaning is not only a passion, she has made it her life’s work. Applying her degree in Human Biology, certificate in Positive Psychology and lifelong practice of dance, Krengel founded a grassroots and growing community called Wildhive in 2015. A collection of mini adventures that unite community and bring play back into people’s lives. Wildhive evolved into annual women’s philanthropic adventures, combining the magic of travel, dance and meaningful volunteer work abroad. Never more energized than when she travels, Krengel believes in the physiological, physical and mental benefits of travel. Krengel has a deep yearning to encourage everyone to experience its life-changing ways.

She discusses, the energetics of the recent New Moon in Pisces, how to look to your birth chart for patterns and cycles, the significant of Venus and your values in the birth chart, honest in manifestation, and current pregnancy self-care practices.

Today on Yoga Magic, Ashley sits down with author Jessie Kanzer to discuss her new book Don't Just Sit There, DO NOTHING: Healing, Chilling and Living with the Tao Te Ching.  Jessie is a descendent of Holocaust survivors and a refugee of the the Soviet Union. She came to the US as a young girl only speaking Russian. As she got older, her childhood trauma manifested into an eating disorder, depression and anxiety and it was at one of her lowest moments, while lying on her bedroom floor, that she looked over and saw a small book. That book happened to be the Tao Te Ching. With the help of the Tao Te Ching she rediscovered herself and her innate power, and she learned to chill. Her book, Don’t Just Sit There, DO NOTHING, will help others do the same.

Ashley is joined by intuitive, human design expert, and The Current podcast host, Nadia Last to discuss soul contracts and using human design as a way to understand your personal gifts. Nadia’s life has been a series of emotional initiations and helping others navigate their own. After she began sitting with herself with nowhere to go and nowhere to be, she was able to clear the debris in her system and started to hear her own inner wisdom. During this time of reflection she found Human Design. Since this time she has led transformational work through 1:1 mentorship, group work, HD readings, and community healing events.

Ashley is joined by Aly French and Erica Stein, Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coaches, health and wellness experts, and podcast hosts. Courageous Wellness Collective is Aly and Erica’s extended community of like-minded individuals who have come together to learn, grow, thrive and work towards improved personal and community wellness.
