Welcome back to the YogaLion Podcast! In this week's episode, I share the mic with one of the newest members of my family, my cousin-in-law (& friend!) Liz. Liz came to yoga as a way to continue to express her love of movement and stayed for the nurturing community that she found. From community yoga, trauma-informed veterans yoga, core power yoga, and even ganja yoga, Liz has enjoyed being able to step outside of her comfort zone, find new friends and community, and is willing to "try anything once" when it comes to her yoga practice. She has found true joy in bringing the calming and centering aspects of yoga to the veteran community and is currently an active online teacher for Comeback Yoga, a nonprofit committed to bringing free trauma-informed yoga to veterans.

Comeback Yoga is dedicated to providing free, accessible, trauma-informed yoga to the military community during this difficult time. Check out the work being done by Comeback Yoga and join Liz each Friday at 8AM (MST) for a one hour gentle yoga and meditation practice

Welcome back to the YogaLion Podcast! In this week's episode, I will guide you through a short centering meditation that you can do whenever you might be feeling scattered, anxious, or just want a quiet moment to yourself. In this practice, I will guide you through a quick body scan and then a breath awareness meditation that you can do standing, seated, or even lying down. All you need is somewhere you feel comfortable practicing and only a few minutes.

Welcome back to the YogaLion Podcast! In this week's episode, I will guide you through a deeply calming and relaxing breathing technique called Bhramari Pranayama, or Bee Breath. While practicing bee breath, a humming sound is created during a long, slow exhalation, which mimics the sound heard from a buzzing bee. The gentle humming produces a soft vibration that helps in relaxing the entire body, therefore this is a great breathing technique to practice when you are feeling anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed.

Welcome back to the YogaLion Podcast! In this week's episode, I will guide you through a quick 15 minute yoga break that you can do anywhere! The entire practice takes place standing and gives you an opportunity to add just a little more awareness and gentle movement to your day. Explore mindfully engaging your body all the way down into your feet, gently shifting your center of gravity, and a quick awareness meditation. You don't need any special equipment for this practice, and you don't even need a yoga mat. Simply give yourself a little bit of time, a little bit of space, and come practice with me!

Welcome back to the YogaLion Podcast! In this week's episode, I will guide you through a mirror-gazing meditation practice that you can do whenever you are experiencing a stressful moment, or even a moment of self-doubt. In this practice, rather than closing your eyes and looking inward while you meditate, you will keep your eyes open while gazing into your own reflection in a mirror. Gazing into your own eyes can be a powerful tool to help turn your attention inward and focus on how you really feel, and not just how you look outside.

This is otherwise commonly known as "yogic breathing" as it is the most common breathing technique used in many yoga classes. I share some of the calming and stress-relieving benefits of this practice and provide guidance through ten complete rounds of this breathing exercise. Tune out the world and tune in to inner peace!
