‘Can We Be Friends?’ - Navigating Adult Relationships and Staying Connected With Others

Per Your friendly request, in this episode, russianriveryoga shares on her journey of making meaningful connections with others adults. She talks about why it can be difficult to engage with others based on the culture, season of life, societal norms, and etc. She also shares on her experience of it taking six years for her and her husband finding their community in Alaska and challenges along the way. Even though being connected has never been easier, we feel more lonely now than we have ever been. We all crave true authentic relationships with other people. But, it does not mean we should give up! Just like any other relationship, it takes work. Let’s be friends! I hope you enjoy this episode. Thank you for being a part of this community!

✨ END OF 2025 PRACTICE 📝🧘🏼‍♀️👌✨

It is the end of the year which means it’s time for the end of the year processing practice! I hope this practice became one of your holiday traditions, just like it did for me 🩵 I cannot imagine a better way to reflect on 2025 together! Tune-in and take a moment for your Self to hold this year in its entirety: good and bad, right and wrong, joy and struggle, challenges and successes and all in-between. In order to trully let go, we need to face the truth of it. Allow me to guide you on this journey so we can create space for the new year to come and our intention setting practice (that is coming up very soon ;)

✨ Winterizing - Prioritize Rest, Slowing Down, and the Right Thinking ✨

In this new episode, russianriveryoga shares on the feeling of transition between Fall to Winter and how these two seasons both share the energies of leaning into dark and loss. She also normalizes our natural longing for quietly going inward and moving at a slower pace. She reflects on her past patterns around teaching and being versus having more space to flow with nothing but consideration towards Self. This episode is for those whose inner critical voice urges to achieve, do, and be it all. And we do, on autopilot. But, what if we stopped and had space to evaluate whether that’s the right way to be? Tune-in to listen, pause, and reflect for yourSelf 🩵

✨ Transition from Summer to Fall Practice ✨

In this episode, russianriveryoga takes us to a Fall Equinox reflection practice to help with transition from Summer to Fall 👌🍁💛 We begin with a grounding meditation exercise to help us tune in with the energy of this transition. Then, we get to reflect on three journaling prompts in order to lean into appreciation, acceptance, and release. We each arrive into something lovely by the end of the practice while honoring its challenges too. Tune in to practice and don’t forget to rate, comment, and share this episode 💛 Fall in love with Fall again 🍂
