Buti Yoga and Women Empowerment, with Bizzie Gold

Ep. 8
•

For our 8th episode, I had the pleasure to sit down with Bizzie Gold. Bizzie is a Personal Development Expert and Serial Entrepreneur. From yoga teacher to past life regression therapist, with 5 successful brands, she helps people transform to create their best life. She also consults with individuals and companies to build heart-centered successful businesses. 


Although we’ve never met, I discovered her thru Buti Yoga as she’s the founder and creator. You might have heard of Buti, it’s a blend of tribal dance and primal movements, plyometrics, and vinyasa-style yoga. After one of my first tries, I wanted to do the teacher training. I wanted to sit down with her to talk about Buti Yoga and Women Empowerment in general.


One last thing before we start, we had a little bit of issues with connection and sound quality, I apologize in advance, and I hope you can hear everything she says.

    If you ever feel out of sync with yourself and the world, this practice is for you.  Thi Reharmonizing Spanda practice is designed to release overwhelm, recalibrate your energy, and rediscover your natural harmony. Through guided movement, breath, and somatic awareness, this practice offers a pathway to reconnect with your body, process pent-up tension, and step back into your authentic flow.  I've used this practice with clients who feel: ✨ overwhelm✨ disconnected✨ emotionally or energetically stuck✨ emotionally burnout from attuning to others' needs or absorbing their energy✨ tend towards people-pleasing, overworking, or living in survival mode✨ the need to push their feelings aside to “get through” the day And it's something I also give as homework to clients, so if you’re thinking about 1-1 coaching, this is a great building block practice. Harmonizing movement practices are designed to naturally support your nervous system by helping it to come back to the present moment and regulate itself, laying down the foundation for deeper alchemy work. With this practice, you’ll reconnect with your body's innate rhythms, release pent-up tension, recalibrate your inner harmony and flow and deepen your self-trust and self-acceptance. This 20 minutes somatic practice is part of our premium podcast subscription, to get access to it, become a premium podcast member When you leave a review for the podcast on iTunes you can get a free trial.
