Thrive Yoga Fit Transformational Coaching

Welcome back to another episode of Thrive Yoga Fit Transformational Coaching! I'm Erin, and I'm excited to share my experiences and insights with you today. After returning from my travels in India and Thailand, I've finally settled back in, and I want to talk about something that has recently become significant in my life: Bhakti Yoga, the practice of devotion. I talk about the six pillars of Bhakti Yoga and how they can really enhance your life. The six pillars of Bhakti Yoga are: 1. Non-Criticism: Avoid criticizing, condemning, or judging others. 2. Tolerance: Cultivate tolerance towards others and various situations. 3. Non-Offense: Forgive others immediately and completely, without taking offense. 4. Quick to Apologize: Be swift in offering apologies when you make mistakes. 5. See the Good in Others: Recognize and acknowledge the good in others. 6. Gratitude: Maintain a spirit of gratitude and keep track of your blessings. As we wrap up the episode, I express my gratitude to you, the listeners, for your support over the years. I also share some exciting opportunities for personal coaching and upcoming retreats in India and Japan. Thank you for joining me today, and I hope you find inspiration and spiritual nourishment in this episode. Namaste!

Welcome back to Thrive Yoga Fit Transformational Coaching! In this episode, Erin dives into Step 3 of her adapted 12-step program for grief: surrendering to a higher power. This step, guided by the quote, "I surrendered my life and my will over to this higher power," has been a challenging yet humbling process for Erin. She candidly shares her struggles with ego, resistance, and the realization that true surrender requires continuous effort and self-awareness. Drawing from her experiences in yoga, coaching, and life, Erin explains how we often think we've "dealt with" something, only to discover deeper layers that need healing. She introduces a powerful mental exercise—plucking the weeds—to help clear negative thoughts and make space for growth. This practice, rooted in yogic philosophy and mindfulness, demonstrates how surrendering mentally and emotionally can also create physical shifts in the body. Tune in to explore: The illusion of surrender and the role of ego in resistance How blind spots and unconscious patterns shape our struggles The connection between mental detox and physical healing A practical exercise to release limiting beliefs and surrender with intention Insights from the Yoga Sutras and the power of Ishwara Pranidhana (devotion to a higher power) Surrender is not about giving up—it's about letting go. It takes diligence, patience, and self-compassion. Join Erin in this vulnerable and inspiring discussion that will leave you with actionable tools for your healing journey Resources & Mentions: Erin's previous episodes on this 12-step journey The Yoga Sutras: Vritti Sarupyam Itaratra (on the nature of thoughts) The practice of Ishwara Pranidhana (devotion and surrender) Greg Nardi's yoga teachings Connect with Erin: Website: www.erincoach.com Instagram/Facebook: Thrivewitherin for Coaching and Podcast & ThriveYogaFit for Yoga and Thrive Studio updates.

This episode kicks off a three-part series inspired by an adapted 12-step program on grief and heartache, which has been transformative for me. The first step I'll discuss is admitting powerlessness over heartbreak—a humbling realization for someone who's used to being self-sufficient. Acknowledging my vulnerability has allowed me to embrace my needs, ask for help, and grow through this pain. I'll also share three questions that have shifted my perspective: What did I do right in the relationship? What am I doing well in life now? What can I do for myself in this moment? These reflections have been powerful tools for self-compassion and healing. Grief is tough, but it's also an opportunity to reconnect with yourself. I'm excited to announce I have five spots left for my transformative trip to Japan! This journey blends cultural exploration with personal growth. This 12 day adventure and spiritual trip starts this year November 5th and I'd love for you to join me.

Welcome back to Thrive Yoga Fit Transformational Coaching! I'm Erin, and in this episode, I continue the conversation from my last podcast, diving deeper into the transformative power of questions, especially after experiencing a breakup or a sudden shift in life circumstances. I share my personal journey of navigating a traumatic breakup that left me feeling lost and overwhelmed. It's important to acknowledge that breakups can be complex and filled with mixed emotions, and I emphasize that it's normal to feel a range of feelings, including guilt and shame. However, I've discovered that asking the right questions can help shift our mindset and pull us out of that dark hole. In this episode, I introduce three powerful questions designed to help you reflect positively on your experiences: What did I do good or right in this relationship or situation? This question encourages you to focus on the positive aspects of your actions rather than dwelling on what went wrong. I explain how shifting your focus can change your physical and emotional state, helping you feel more expansive and less contracted. What am I doing good or right in my life in general? This question serves as a stepping stone to recognize the good in your life beyond the recent challenges. I stress the importance of not overcomplicating this process and instead quickly identifying positive aspects of your life. What can I do right or good for myself in this moment? Here, I encourage listeners to take actionable steps to nurture themselves, whether it's through self-care, reaching out to friends, or engaging in activities that bring joy. Throughout the episode, I discuss the significance of maintaining a higher frequency and a loving mindset. I share personal anecdotes about the importance of self-love and the impact of supportive friendships during tough times. I also touch on the idea of using mantras to reinforce positive thoughts and combat negative self-talk. I conclude by inviting listeners to reach out for support, whether they need clarity after a breakup or simply a kind word. I encourage everyone to embrace their worth and recognize that it's okay to make mistakes. Life is a journey, and with the right mindset and tools, we can navigate through the challenges and emerge stronger. Thank you for tuning in!

Tapas (Discipline): Develop self-discipline and perseverance to achieve personal and spiritual goals. 4. Svadhyaya (Self-study): Engage in self-reflection, study of sacred texts, and self-inquiry. 5.
