In this episode you’ll hear:

Ep. 34 What is Feminine Form Yoga?

I started a conversation last year with the community about yoga and the rise of the feminine in the world. This episode is part of a larger series and conversation I want to have with you about what yoga is, what Shakti is and what the concept of “the feminine” is in relation to a yoga practice. You might want to start with Ep. 23 Why Your Yoga Practice May Need To Die before diving into this one.

In this episode I discuss:

~A reading from Wild Mercy by Mirabai Starr

~What is the Rising Feminine actually?

~Student LOVE!

~The longing in your heart to know who you are

~Yoga as an individual practice

~The medicine to an over bloated masculine

~Why we need to understand our primal biomechanics/nervous system

~That point just before death

~Yogic monks vs the feminine

~The control issue

~Lineage of Love Free Trial!

Light, astringent fruits in the spring can help us Light, astringent fruits in the spring can help us balance Kapha, bringing in lightness and brightness and helping to dry up excess kapha fluids. The trick is to stick to fruits that are first and foremost local and in season, and that are light, astringent and warming.⁠
⁠
Here are some of our faves this time of year:⁠
⁠
🍋 Lemons and limes are sharp and bright, perfect for sparking agni⁠
🍓 Berries (strawberries, blueberries and raspberries) are nice and light, and gently astringent, so they’re perfect for kapha time of year⁠
🍒 Cherries are a little bit drying, they help move things along if you know what I mean ;)⁠
🍑 Apricots are light, a little bit drying and offer sweetness that doesn’t weigh you down⁠
🍎 Apples are astringent and light = balances kapha’s heaviness and density!⁠
🍇 Raisins and dried fruit offer more concentrated sweetness and warmth⁠
🍒 Cranberries are amazing for clearing excess moisture⁠
🍊 Grapefruit’s bitterness and sharpness is one of the best for reducing heaviness⁠
🍎 Pomegranates support the blood and digestion and help dry excess fluids⁠
🍐 Pears offer amazing fiber content, digestive support and are best eaten in the morning⁠
💜 And we all know that prunes help keep things moving, especially if your elimination is sluggish 🌀⁠
⁠
Keep in mind this is for my northern hemisphere ladies in spring… if you’re in the southern hemisphere, you’re in autumn, so think warm, grounding, wet foods instead. 🍠⁠
⁠

When you start hearing words like oil pulling, CCF When you start hearing words like oil pulling, CCF tea, abhyanga across the table and have that moment of instant recognition with someone…
