Your hosts, Kirsten and Devdas, and in today's episode, we delve into the profound topic of nurture, exploring how it transcends gender and plays a crucial role in maintaining the universal balance. 🌿 Why is the concept of nurture often overlooked or underestimated in our fast-paced society, and how does it relate to the balance of yin and yang energies in our lives? 🌿 How can we cultivate the nurturing force in various aspects of our lives, including our relationships, work, and personal growth, to achieve lasting fulfillment? 🌿 What are the consequences of neglecting the nurturing aspect in our lives, and how can we find moments to slow down and reconnect with the beauty of nature and the mysteries of the universe? Join us as we explore these questions and more, and gain insights into the transformative power of nurturing for a more balanced and fulfilling life. Remember, the pace of life should not rob us of the slow moments that are equally, if not more, compelling than the fast. Let's nurture ourselves, our intentions, and our surroundings to find true harmony. ► Join our 200-Hour Online Yoga Teacher Training  https://link.akashayogaacademy.com/f43219   ► Join our 300-Hour Online Yoga Teacher Training https://link.akashayogaacademy.com/33a4d4    ► Join our 80-Hour Online Yin Yoga Teacher Training  https://link.akashayogaacademy.com/v1n    ► Join our 80-Hour Meditation Online Yoga Teacher Training  https://link.akashayogaacademy.com/0e8843    ► Join our 80-Hour Advanced Hatha & Pranayama Online Yoga Teacher Training  https://link.akashayogaacademy.com/034    ► Let's connect: Website: https://www.akashayogaacademy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/akashayogaacademy/

Join our calendar for regular updates, yoga flows and new podcast episodes. https://www.akashayogaacademy.com/calendar-sign-up   Welcome to another insightful episode of our podcast, "How to Expand Body, Mind & Soul," hosted by the ever-passionate Burkhard. Today, we embark on a journey into the realms of yoga and wellness, exploring the profound concept of expansion on multiple levels. Burkhard will guide us through a transformative exploration of the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions. Let's start by delving into the essence of expansion with a couple of thought-provoking questions: How can we extend the boundaries of our physical existence, not just in terms of lifespan but also in the quality and vitality of those years?   In the realm of yoga, how does the cultivation of prana, the vital life force, contribute to expanding our energetic being, and how can we harness it through practices like Pranayama?   Burkhard will unravel these questions and more as he intricately navigates the five levels of expansion. Beginning with the physical body, we'll explore the pillars of longevity – from cardiovascular exercises to nutrition and the often-overlooked significance of quality sleep.   Next, Burkhard will guide us through the yogic perspective on vital energies, exploring how practices like Pranayama can amplify our pranic life force, contributing to an expanded sense of well-being.   Moving beyond the physical, we'll venture into the realm of emotions. Burkhard will share insights on harmonizing and purifying our emotional landscape, emphasizing the transformation of negative emotions into positive, expansive energies.   The journey continues as we explore the mind, seeking to purify subconscious tendencies and cultivate a laser-sharp, visionary intellect. Burkhard will illuminate the path towards clarity and genius thoughts, transcending impulsive and emotionally charged states.   Finally, we'll reach the pinnacle – the expansion of consciousness. Burkhard will guide us through altered states, offering a glimpse into the universal consciousness that lies beyond individual limitations.   This episode isn't just a theoretical exploration; it's an invitation to actively engage with these concepts, encouraging you to take a step deeper into the expansive layers of your being. So, tune in, absorb the wisdom, and join Burkhard on this yogic journey of expansion.   Remember, the magic lies in the application.
