Gentle "Anywhere, Anytime" Yoga and Meditation

Ep. 16

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!

Join me each week to explore a different aspect of yoga, from guided breathwork, meditations, and a physical practice to book talks and teacher interviews, and more! To support the YogaLion podcast for free, please share this episode with a friend and leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts.

  • 17. Bee Breath (Bhramari Pranayama)

    17:18||Ep. 17
    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.

  • 12. Mirror Gazing Meditation

    15:36||Ep. 12
    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.
