Yoga’s messy origin

Right off the bat, the definition of YOGA , the different ways this word and practice is defined can be so controversial with many people. I say be authentic in the description a person chooses. Most people relate yoga to the asana part of the 8 limbs of yoga. Not knowing there are 8 limbs. There is so much more. How ever a person chooses, be authentic. Yoga is all about connection is my definition. Connecting Mind, Body, & Spirit. ~~Dawn

Excellent!

Every episode is so full of practical and esoteric knowledge…well done! Because there is so much to learn, it would be helpful to slow down and allow for absorption.
SilverKat25!

Inspirational

This podcast was detailed and super insightful. I’ve recently come to the realization that I’ve been holding years worth of mental trauma and stress and came across Brett Larkin on YouTube immediately after discovering the reason for my challenges I’ve been going through. Very helpful techniques and has already given me a more positive perspective. I plan on using your techniques every single day and hopefully soon start to feel better and feel more confident with myself in many ways.

Amazing yoga podcast

I really enjoy listening to this podcast. It represents authentic teachings of yoga- it’s history, it’s philosophy and its purpose in ways that are relatable to beginners and advanced practitioners alike. Brett is relatable, down to earth and so knowledgeable! This podcast is a gift!

AMAZING

I love how straight to the point these topics are and so informative! I can feel the love. I just recently found her and I a am absolutely loving your podcast! I’m currently doing a 200 yoga teacher training through my vinyasa practice and I will be interested in your kundalini training when I’m finished!

Wow!

Love the Uplifted Podcast! I’m starting from the beginning and learning soooo much! Brett has so much knowledge to share herself and I am loving all of the different guests she has on, I listen everyday and have not been disappointed!!

Brett Larkin’s podcasts inspire me to take action

Brett Larkin’s Uplifted Podcast inspires me to take more action and risks, to put a bad video or blogpost out there just to confront my own perfectionist tendencies. Brett’s guests and topics introduce me to new ways of seeing the world; The power of archetypes, the Psychic Teachers. I am always looking forward to the next episode. The podcast never disappoints and always inspires me.

How to apply yoga in every day life

I love this podcast, especially when Brett asks about what their daily morning routine looks like. It was on her podcast that I heard a guest say she meditated in her bed every morning first thing and that was a game changer for me and i haven’t missed a morning meditation since implementing that into my routine.

2/7/24 episode

in regards to the chronic pain episode, I have this question. I had back surgery, and my last four vertebrae are fused. You were talking about spinal flexion with the guest, I’m curious if you or her have any bits of info you could share about lack of mobility after spinal fusion? I have noticed that I cannot twist or bend or flex backwards the way I used to. I also deal with some chronic pain as well, but find breathing and movement to be helpful. Thank you for the show. I always learn something new. I am specifically loving the yoga, Sutra/yoga, nerd episodes! jeni lawson
shygirlndallas

So Uplifting!

Brett is an amazing educator. After listening to her podcast, I’m always amazed by how much more I want to learn about all things Yoga! She is truly a gift. Thank you Brett for all that you do for the world ♥️
Brittnees

So much knowledge!

Great podcast for diving deep into yogic practices and how yoga can connect to every aspect of life.
JC1zzle

Excellent podcast!

Applicable and relevant information for teachers and students. Highly recommend the Uplifted app and YTT as well.
msred5

Pretentious.

Wow. It took a “relationship coach” for you to figure out that you should be grateful when you receive a gift that you don’t particularly like? I guess an attitude of gratitude doesn’t come naturally to everyone. Thankful for the unfollow option.
Kristin Svets

Amazing listen and insights!

Brett is an incredible teacher, making yogic principles so accessible to improving your everyday life. Loving all of her episodes- interviews and solos!
dasschneider

Balancing life

This podcast has helped me realize that balancing the primary paradigms around traditional and modern practices is what enriches my daily life. So well summarized in Brett’s Kriya yoga episode. Thank you.
Stephaniesjunk

Uplifted Podcast is wonderful

I truly enjoy Brett’s enthusiasm, detailed knowledge, and passion for yoga. Although I am interested in kundalini, I would like to hear other information that can be practical additions to my day. I love when she asks guess about their morning routines, and what brought them to yoga, those are very relatable, helpful questions.
Walgreensuser

Informative and very inspiring

I found this podcast by luck and as soon as I started listening I was instantly hooked. I love the information, the topics, the guests and I enjoy Brett’s commentaries. Thank you for putting this out there and uplifting the life of so many including myself! Please bring it back!!!

Way beyond yoga

Brett’s podcast is a reflection of all her content, which is deep, insightful, inspiring, and impactful. Highly recommend the podcast as well as her Uplifted community. Thank you, Brett!

Deep and thoughtful

Deep, contemporary living-yoga discussions ❤️
Trishballerina

So knowledgeable

This is a useful podcast but a little hard to listen to- so hyper! Like the news. Funny for a yoga teacher! If it were a little calmer, measured, I could enjoy it more. Maybe just nerves or coffee?

Learning

I love the energy and variety that is shared on this podcast. I always learn something new with each of the episode that is shared.
shellrien

So excited that this podcast is back!

I am expanded to new ideas from this podcast. Brett Larkin is a very knowledgeable host with so much to share.Love, love, love!!!
horrible photo service

Podcast no longer working?!

I’m a long time listener and this podcast is excellent but after straying away for a bit I’ve been trying to dive back in as of recent and it always says “episode currently unavailable” no matter which episode I choose. So sad about this. Is anyone else having this issue?
ricky21ish

Grateful :-)

This podcast is a godsend. I am so thankful this has come across my path. I particularly love the ancient mythological stories and the lessons extracted from them. So far there has not been one episode that has felt dull or that I couldn’t get some sort of nugget of truth. I look forward to checking out the rest of the episodes, cheers :-)
2BJill

Incredible!

Just what I needed. So grateful to have found this. Felt the positive energy and the episode about chakra with Chin Lui was so inspiring and bought me so much clarity!

Crystals 101 with Samantha Fey… WOW

learned more in this hour podcast than in years of my own research. absolutely brilliant! I have so much new information to incorporate in my life now, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you both!

Rumi Podcasts

Loved, loved loved these two podcasts. Pun intended! I learnt more than I could have imagined in these two short podcasts. So grateful for your offering, I sightful questions and fir inviting such a learned scholar to your podcast. The historical perspective and deep knowledge of Shahram Shiva make this podcast a must listen if you truly wish to understand Rumi and his poetry and the influence it continues to wield centuries after they were composed.

I Listen to Brett Larkin’s Episodes

I have been listening to Brett Larkin’s episodes. I love learning from her because she is knowledgable and has a very lovely energy. I’m sure the other people on the podcast are very lovely but I came specifically for Brett since I have listened to her separate Yoga Hacks podcast.
shabs07

LOVE LOVE LOVE these podcasts!

Brett is wonderful to listen to and very relatable. Content and time length is perfect for listening while walking my dog or cleaning up the house. Thank you!
The Elephant Soul

Uplifting and sincere

I started listening to Sivana Podcast at a time in my life in which I need to strengthen my connection to my higher power, to spirituality and creativity. The topics Berth chooses are not only interesting but uplifting. I know I’ll keep finding more helpful ideas here.
Kenz_Satnam

Sivana Spreads Good

I like this podcast quite a lot! It's one of the few that feels modern, but covers esoteric topics that are relevant to our development and wellness. They don't excessively try to sell or push you on anything either!
i wynn

Brett Larkin thank you

I have listened to so many of your episodes and all have connected with me in a very profound way. I will read the title or the name of the guest you are having for the podcast and think I don’t have much interest but I will give it a listen......then the next thing I know I am carried away with new perspectives, paradigm shifts, knowledge of something I didn’t know existed, discovery, heartfelt emotion and gravity. This is enlightenment for body mind and spirit. Thank you Brett Larkin.

Healing words

The power of healing and how to deal with loss is beneficial for everyone, even when you aren’t currently going through this situation. This is a well expressed podcast with invaluable information.
Rubyfree

Episode 81

Even as a a trained yoga instructor, it’s important to be reminded of what you learned. Awilda and Brett were very real and descriptive with tips and tricks to make us all feel easy with confronting our obstacles. Thank you!

How to have a powerful mantra practice

Super interesting & honest. I appreciated that the most as a beginner.
grammygraham

Perfect timing

I absolutely love his podcast! I’ve been feeling overwhelmed...like there’s not enough time in the day. Then I find the podcast about healing my relationship time...it was perfect! It hit me hard and made so much sense.

Koshas,Chakras, and living a yogic lifestyle

Thank you for the great information explaining how the Koshas and chakras intertwine. Also appreciated the explanation of each of the 5 Koshas. Looking to learn more about Ayurveda at this time, and will explore this teacher. Thank you.

The chakras and reflexology with Helen chin lui

First time listener to this podcast. I’ll love learning about chakras so this caught my attention. Very cool info. Really enjoyed Bret and her guest Helen Chin Lui and I look forward to listening to more- plus I want Helens new book.
candicepandice

LOVE! LOVE!! LOVE!

This is one of my favorite podcasts! I listen to these episodes over and over. They are lovely and incredible resources. I have been listening to sivana for years. I look forward to new episodes, hopefully very soon 💜🥰

Another white woman with a yoga platform

Nothing new or enlightening here. Just another American white woman exploiting and culturally appropriating Indian spiritual. She can’t even say “Namaste” properly. Cmon y’all at least get Indians to host there’s over 1 billion of us!! We are also in the west in mass number.
ZanzaYoga

Love your interviews, subjects and all! Can’t live without leaning from you!

I would love to hear about The Divine Masculine Energy, by Daniel Wilson Jr. And I will have tons of friends craving to listening that too! Thanks., this is an amazing podcast and interviewers.... love your guests. Rosangela Folchini
Yogi Peggy

This podcast will improve your life, your yoga, your thoughts.

I have been listening to The Sivana Podast while I walk. They are many and varied but all offer you some nugget of wisdom or a different way to look at the world and yourself. I am a newly minted yoga teacher. I am finding that these podcasts are giving me new ideas, reinforcing what I have learned, and inspiring me to delve deeper. I just listened to the 1/31/2019 episode on How to Think Positive Thoughts Every Day. Brett is so inspiring and gives very concrete examples of how to be positive and radiate positivity. Shine on, Yogis and thank you, Brett!
RCarYaHar

Light and fun

This podcast has taught me so much about enhancing and nurturing not only my yoga practice but my spiritual life in general. The interviews are fun and curious, and make me feel like I can make changes in my life despite being a busy working mom. Thank you!
DragonflyDiva7

Great resource for all things yoga and more

I’ve followed Brett on YouTube for years, she’s one of my go too for yoga classes on YouTube. Her voice is so optimistic and full of sunshine. I was so excited to find her podcast.
BellMaggie

Truly uplifting podcast!

I recently moved and doubled my commute time to work each day. I first became interested in the podcast because I’ve always enjoyed yoga as a hobby to relieve stress and incorporate exercise in my life. Brett’s message has really helped me take my practice off the mat. I listen each day on my way to work and on my way home. The messages I hear help connect my energy to exactly where I need to be mentally in both environments. It helps me stay focused on the things that matter. I love taking advantage of this transitional time each day and not just filling it with monotonous radio music that numb my thoughts or add the adrenaline I feel when I am rushing between both places. My car time feels sacred and special. Sometimes I purposely drive just a little slower or take the long way home!
Raq_ross_da_boss

Listen to this podcast!!!

All I can say is wow! I’m so happy. I just started listening to podcasts and this podcast is the first one I’ve found that SPEAKS TO ME. Love the content so much. Thank you for this magic, Brett.
