Yoga has 8 parts to it. They are called the 8 limbs of yoga.  It turns out meditation is the 7th limb and the other limbs are the steps to take in order to reach the true meditative state. In this episode I break down what the differences are and how they flow together in practice. If you are looking to deepen your practice I host a free masterclass in exchange for your contact information so that if and when you decide to go even deeper, you'll have the resources you need to carry onward with your journey. But it's my intention that this free class will be exactly what you need. You can access that course at www.trueselftea.com

Over the last 6 years I've been working with the system of Yoga beyond only the poses. I've used it to shed trauma and release the patterns within me that showed up as stress and other forms of poor mental health. There is no limit to what yoga can do for you when you work with it in an intentional and expansive way. In this episode I breakdown what that has meant for me and what the potential is for you to. You can find a free masterclass to work with these practices on a deeper level here. I'm offering this to you at no charge in order to build a community of like minded people who share similar goals in this area of practice. There will be more opportunities presented to you along the way for even deeper intentional work but there is never any pressure or expectation for you to go any farther than the free class. When you sign up you'll also be getting access to some of my exclusive inside tips, applications, and resources that I've discovered over the past 6 years of practice.

Today I share a bit about what it means to go on a journey of improving your mental wellness. Mental wellness is also tied to emotional wellness. Both require a practice of self study and observation. It's not your fault if you are not currently doing this practice because there are many suggestions, hidden or otherwise to discourage you from taking your wellness into your own capable hands. I did exactly that and the results changed my life forever going forward.

In this episode I tell me story of loosing 30 pounds with my mind and developing my ability to do an effortless headstand. Fitness is definitely a byproduct of yoga. However the yoga system as a whole is so much more than that. You can learn more about developing a wellness practice and avoiding the mistakes that I did as a beginner at www.trueselftea.com

Yoga turned my life right around from being stressed to blessed. In this episode I want to share about just one of the ways it did this. I have been practicing yoga and meditation daily for over 7 years and at this point I don't think I could stop. But starting to go once per week was the hardest first step.  After I made the choice to go all in on my wellness my frequency of practice only increased because of the benefits I was experiencing. I continue to expand my practice everyday since yoga has no limits to what it can bring you unless you stop practicing it.
