This is part 2 of a 2-part series - make sure you listen to part 1 first <3
In this 2nd episode, my gorgeous, incredible friend Anna and I continue discussing cycle syncing, plus more on relationships, boundaries, intuition, migraines, & alcohol in society.
We dive deeper into the importance of aligning relationships with personal values and long-term goals, setting boundaries, and being direct when communicating what you desire & need. Anna mentions her experience of seeing auras during migraines and how it led her to prioritize self-care & make lifestyle changes too.
We touch on the challenges of social situations without alcohol and the importance of staying true to oneself without feeling the need to explain or defend personal choices 🙂
If this episode resonates with you or you have any major takeaways, please leave us a review & share the episode with someone who needs to hear it :)
Lots of love to you! Xo
About Anna Roesner
Since becoming a yoga teacher in 2017, Anna Roesner has led thousands of people in the practices of breathwork, yoga & meditation. Anna’s teaching style enables students to reach their physical & mental edge to step into a new version of themselves. A yoga class with Anna is truly a mind, body, and spirit experience. It includes high vibrational music, uninterrupted silence for you to connect to yourself, creative sequences that keep you on your toes (or hands), and yogic philosophy to take the practice with you.
With great humility, she joined the 2021 Pranaluz teaching staff in Costa Rica to Facilitate a 300-hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training. Here, she lectured students from around the world on yogic philosophy. This fall, Anna will be sharing her wisdom with her Minnesota community, leading a 200-hour yoga teacher training at Lifetime Fitness - Edina.
Anna combines her love for yoga and travel by putting on multiple transformational yoga retreats experiences a year through her company Wild Lights. The next Wild Lights retreat is in January 2024 in Nosara, Costa Rica!
Topics Discussed in Today's Episode:
- Implementing concepts from the book "In the Flow" can feel a little overwhelming, but it's important to find ways to adapt them to your life and body specifically.
- Cycle syncing with girlfriends can be helpful for optimizing productivity and well-being throughout different phases of the menstrual cycle.
- Understanding and working with your body's natural rhythm can allow you to show up better for yourself during each phase (and also reduce burnout)
- Trusting and following your intuition is crucial, even though there might be times when you resist or doubt it. It's a process! Be kind to yourself.
- As you progress on your spiritual path, the signs and guidance you receive may become less obvious and more subtle. It requires more trust and intuition to recognize and follow these signs!
- Moving from a good situation to a great one can be more challenging than moving from a bad situation to a good one. It takes strength and courage to let go of something good in order to embrace something that aligns more with your soul's purpose.
- When following a path aligned with your true purpose, it's not always clear what the next steps will be. Embracing the unknown and trusting that each step will be illuminated as you progress.
- Disappointments, heartbreak, and discomfort can often be valuable lessons. Reflecting on past experiences and understanding how they led to growth, learning boundaries, and self-care can help you move forward with a greater sense of self-awareness.
