The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

Have you ever fallen into this trap? I know you’ve heard me talk about how as healers we have a hard time charging for our services, but there is another trap we easily fall into similar to this: OVERGIVING. Meaning, you are offering way more than you’re potentially charging for. This often comes from a place of insecurity, which is why showing up as your authentic self is so important.   Let’s explore: 🔹Overgiving can lead to feelings of resentment, depletion, and burnout. 🔹Setting boundaries and stating pure desires can help prevent over-giving. 🔹Focusing on quality over quantity is important in all areas of life.   🎉Download my sequences and get my free yoga playlist! => https://www.brettlarkin.com/teach?utm_medium=social&utm_source=podcast&utm_campaign=teach    FREE Practice: 5 Min Kundalini Yoga | KUNDALINI YOGA FOR SELF CARE AND ENERGY Relevant Blog: 20 Awesome Ways To Make Money As A Yoga Instructor Relevant to Today’s Episode: 📖 Yoga Life Book  🐍 Yoga for Self Mastery ✅ 200-hour Online Yoga Teacher Training 🔮 300-hour Online Yoga Teacher Training 🎧 Also Listen to: #327 – How to Earn Your First $$$ Teaching Yoga with Matilde Wergeland #323 – Creating a Niche Brand as a Yoga Teacher with Yogi Bryan   © 2024 Uplifted Yoga | BrettLarkin.com

Today I chat with master coach and spiritual psychologist, Christine Hassler. We talk about the impact your inner child can have on your everyday life and how the subconscious programming that is formed during childhood influences your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. She shares practical techniques for cultivating a relationship with your inner child, and emphasizes the significance of reparenting ourselves and meeting the unmet needs from our childhood. This conversation will give you valuable insights and tools for healing and personal growth.   Discover:  🔹How the inner child represents the subconscious programming formed during childhood that influences our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. 🔹Why childhood experiences, especially between the ages of zero to 12, shape our inner child and can lead to subconscious patterns and behaviors. 🔹That inner child work does not require remembering specific childhood memories; the body and subconscious still hold the emotional and energetic imprints.   💖 Grab my Yoga For Self Mastery course now before live calls begin.

Today, let’s explore the difference between traditional yoga and somatic yoga. While traditional yoga focuses on alignment, somatic yoga allows you to process and deeply feel your emotions. I will never tell you not to do a traditional yoga class, There is an incredible amount of value there and I have so much love for yogic tradition. But, I would like to encourage you to bring more somatic movement into your practice. Let’s discuss: 🔹Traditional yoga’s focus on alignment, strength, and breath control, while somatic yoga emphasizes embodiment, emotional processing, and non-habitual movement. 🔹Five common yoga poses that can be made more somatic: sufi grind, spinal flex, cat-cow, downward dog, and janu sirsasana. 🔹How somatic yoga allows individuals to deepen their connection with their bodies and process difficult emotions.   🎁 Get my FREE $67 Somatic Self Healing Workshop => https://www.brettlarkin.com/ffy?utm_medium=social&utm_source=podcast&utm_campaign=ffy    💖 Doors are closing for the fall cohort of my Somatic Yoga Life Coaching program.
