All we can do is keep breathing

All we can do is keep breathing

Join Nat and Court as they tap into the breath as a tool to harness the Gemini busy mind and connect more deeply with spirit in a time where we might be feeling depleted and uninspired. Inspiration, which means “to breathe”, can be found outside of self but more often than not it exists within if we’re willing to be still and tap into our own reserves. This episode is one that reminds us that all that we need, we have access to. We must be willing to arrive. And simply…breathe.  https://youtu.be/A6qYSZlLbSo Follow us on Insta [www.instagram.com/theuniversecalledpod] Follow on Substack for Journal Prompts [https://theuniversecalledpod.substack.com/] Learn more about your ad choices.

Me and you, your mama and your cousin, too

With the Sun in Gemini, the sign of the neighbor, we’re in a season of natural connection. Connecting the dots of information and relationships. Join Nat and Court on this Sagittarius full moon to get curious about the relationship between Gemini and Sag. How will this Sagittarius full moon inspire us to pull out and see the bigger themes? Mars and Venus in Taurus encourage us to slow down and see the beauty in everything. Turns out by pausing in our presence and recognizing our connection to all things— we’re embodying the true meaning of yoga. Get outside, touch grass, and let your booty do that yoga!

Fall in love again and again

Join Nat and Court as they return from their hiatus with a very special guest, THE Tracee Stanley, to talk about all things ritual. How can we turn the mundane into magic under the light of this New Moon in Taurus? We talk about manageable magic with micro rituals that are the domain of the householders, why ritual is more important than ever in a world that feels so disconnected and unreliable, and how practice is a ritual that grounds us in our bodies. This is not an episode you will want to miss. So make yourself a cup of tea, get cozy, make us a part of your ritual for this New Moon. Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices.

Check yourself before you wreck yourself

New Moon, who dis? It’s a Capricorn New moon and it’s giving Big Daddy energy- Nat and Court go hard into the themes of Capricorn and its ruler Saturn. It’s time for a wakeup call: where are we “checking out” in our lives and what needs refinement? The first teaching of Kriya yoga, the yoga of change, is tapas- discipline, contrary action, and austerity. Using this teaching on and off the mat- we dig into the practice of Vinyasa Flow- these linked postures show up in most of our classes, but they’re the poses we often overlook when it comes to proper alignment and safety. We break down the postures and common mistakes we see, and make suggestions on how to explore these poses with more knowledge and confidence. So the next time your teacher says, “Flow through your vinyasa,” you got that shit down. And, use your tapas as a tool to set intention for this first new moon of the year.

There's no place like home

Join Nat and Court for the first lunation of the New Year - with the sun in cardinal earth sign Capricorn, we have steadiness to start where we are, and build on what we have already learned. We cut through that bullshit of “New Year, New Me”, and focus on what is true - we are growing, not starting over. This full moon in Cancer reflects the energy and need to nurture and care for the moment. This episode explores the pose Tadasana aka Mountain Pose- and looks beyond what it may seem-- it’s more than standing, y’all! Let’s get back to the basics, stand in our strength, balance our effort and ease, and give ourselves what we need most - comfort and consistency. With Venus, Mercury, and Mars in Capricorn, the Universe has our back to get shit done - we promise it isn’t boring, it’s necessary. Learn more about your ad choices.
