Innovative Self-Care: My favorite yogis on YouTube

 Hi everyone, I thought I'd take a brief moment and share some of my favorite YouTube yogis. I attribute a lot of my healing, growth and change to the practice of self-care. When I began my healing journey, I started to practice meditation and yoga. Both of these spiritual practices helped me remain grounded and focused which is important when your are healing emotional pain or trauma. I encourage you to consider and take a look at these YouTube yogis to help you on your journey to enlightenment. Check out the following YouTubers:

1. Ekhart Yoga- This was the very first channel that I visited and started to work with. Ekhart Yoga is a great channel for those new to yoga and meditation. I would consider this channel great for beginners. I learned the basic poses of yoga and began to learn about meditation and how to meditate. https://www.youtube.com/c/Ekhartyoga

2. Yoga with Kassandra- If you are open to spirituality, this is the best channel for you. She is non evasive about spirituality and encourages self-love, positive affirmations and using yoga for purpose. I am blessed to have come upon this channel because, I feel at the time, I was needing guidance on facilitating more self-love and positivity into my life. She is amazing at introducing people to spiritual yoga practices and providing comfort and understanding of the practice. https://www.youtube.com/c/yogawithkassandra

3. Yoga with Adrienne- This is my current favorite channel because of where I am on my healing journey. She offers beginners great support as well as more advanced yogis. Her personality and guidance is what impresses me the most. She offers a lot of emotional support in her yoga. For example, she creates videos that support your mental health with yoga dedicated to certain emotions. This is definitely a subtle spiritually guided channel. Like Kassandra she is well received and very popular with over a 11 million subscribers. https://www.youtube.com/c/yogawithadriene

4. Boho Beautiful- I don't frequent this channel that often but I do like her meditations and some of her yoga videos when I need to challenge myself. I feel this is not a beginners channel; she is a bit more advanced. https://bohobeautiful.life/

5. Jessica Richburg- I came across this channel one day when I was feeling a lot of anxiety and stress. I went on Youtube and typed in yoga for stress; and, she poped up. What I like about her is her soft approach in instruction. I was anxious and stressed and I did her 20 minute session on Yoga for stress and anxiety and I immediately started to feel better. It was instant relief. If you have issues with anxiety or have mental health issues, I recommend you visit her channel and explore her videos as part of a self-care routine. She connects to people's heart space through her yoga videos. Amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AIYBmjKjac

Well that's my short list and suggestions. I hope you take the time and explore yoga and meditation with the help of these great yoga instructors on YouTube.

The truth about hookup culture ;)

  As of 2022, The Pew Research Center found 30% of U.S. adults are neither married, living with a partner, nor engaged in a committed relationship. Additionally, 1/2 of young adults inthe U.S. are single. What the?! Why be in a relationship when you can, “hookup” with no expectations.Let's talk about hookup culture! What is hookup culture? Is this a healthy dynamic? Why is hookup culture popular in today's society? Are there negative effects engaging in this behavior; Does this behavior negatively impact women? My original intention was to answer these questions, in an effort to talk about hookup culture as part of a series of educational videos/posts during Domestic Violence Awareness month to raise awareness about healthy relationships but, time ran out. However, we can still have an honest discussion  and continue the conversations about our current relationship climate that will help us understand the current trend of , "hooking up." I decided to talk about this t...

Exploiting Wellness: Exposing the wellness industry frauds.

*This post was written 6 months ago*  The global wellness market is valued at over 4.75 trillion (wellnesscreative.com 2022 statistics). There is a demand for self-improvement, homeopathic or alternative ways to achieve better health or mindset. Where there is a need, there are always people waiting to exploit people's desperation to look and feel better. I believe that most people have great intentions to help others achieve their highest potential; however, we have to be mindful of those that don't. I am not a consumer advocate but, if a sell is too good to be true and people promise you the world and total transformation, I'd run for the hills. That’s a huge indication of fraud. What concerns me about the wellness industry is that some of these organizations are cult-like and require you to be a part of a controlling following. At this point, your chances of becoming victimized either financially, emotionally, or physically becomes a given. My dear friend, who works for ...

The performance of being "nice"..

Today, I am going to give a brief tutorial on being "kind" vs. being "nice". I want people to consider the fact that being "nice" isn't good enough.  I grew up with knowing there is a huge difference between nice and being a kind person. Being, "Kind" is the ideal way to conduct yourself. To me, kindness is about connections; making positive connections with people with the idea of being genuine and thoughtful. Kindness involves vulnerability. However, some people have trouble with authenticity and being vulnerable. We live in a society of immediate gratification, fake people, insecurity, and false expectations and desires. People choose to align with what is easy instead of what is right! For this reason, people choose to be, "nice". Being "nice" is not enough. There is complexity to these terms. So let's talk about the differences between being, "nice" and "kind". Nice is a social mask that people...
