Breema Technique

Breema bodywork is a practical approach to unifying ourselves, one that makes use of our innate desire to connect with others in a way that is sincere, natural and nurturing for both people. We will learn and exchange bodywork sequences composed of comfortable, rhythmic leans and stretches and extremely well-supported postures and holds that relax and revitalize the physical, mental, and emotional centers of the giver as well as the receiver. All Breema movements embody nine universal harmonizing principles, including No Force, Mutual Support, Full Participation and No Judgment.  Breema bodywork is done in comfortable clothing on a padded floor. It's fun to give and receive, and can be very supportive for daily life with family and friends. Breema's nine principles can be applied to bring more harmony and meaning to any activity or relationship.

Outrageous Openness with Tosha Silver

Adopting a Foster Child

Since adopting my son, I have had many people approach me with questions.  How did you do it?  Was it hard to do?  Did anyone care that you were single, gay or HIV+? Why did you choose a local adoption over a foreign adoption? 

Family Builders is the agency that I worked with to fulfill my longtime dream of becoming a father. In this podcast I interview Jill Jacobs, Executive Director of Family Builders about the process of adopting children who are stuck in the foster care system. In the interview Jill talks about the process of adopting a child and shares some shocking statics about just how many children are in need of a loving home right here in the United States.

Nina Here Nor There by Nick Krieger

All of us have a body and a gender identity, but few of us are forced to confront the depth of personal and cultural meaning these things hold. Author Nick Krieger shares his powerful story of self-discovery, growth, and empowerment.  Born Nina Krieger, Nick first identified as a lesbian only to realize that coming out sexually was only part of the journey.  Nina Here Nor There is not simply a memoir about gender awakening—It is a potent metaphor for the transformation that all of us must undertake to become fully actualized human beings. In this podcast Nick shares some of his journey and talks about the powerful role yoga played in his finding the courage and body acceptance to face the twists and turns that emerged on his path.

Yoga Nidra with Amrit Desai

Amrit Desai was one of the original gurus to come to the United States from India in the 1960s.  He founded the Kripalu Yoga Ashram in Massachusetts—the largest ashram in the West.

 

He, like most gurus, is not without controversy.  Yet in spite of the controversy, he has made an invaluable contribution to modern yoga and to the massive growth of yoga here in the West and he is considered one of the leading authorities on yoga in the world.  He is the author of numerous books on yoga, is a renown musician, lectures worldwide, and is featured in the documentary, Yoga Today: 100 Years of Yoga in America.

 

In this episode, Desai speaks about how to use the technique of yoga nidra, a yogic state of superconsciousness, to reduce stress and achieve profound changes in one’s life.
