Conversation with Betsy Weiner who shares how her training in Yoga and Ayurveda supports her work with clients as they lean into creativity, joy, radical silliness, childlike curiosity and wonder.

Topics of Discussion:
-Practicing subtraction and releasing additives that inhibit creativity and wonder
-Providing guidance on what tools and spiritual teachings are the most practical and accessible
-Finding the combination of holistic practices, such as yoga and Ayurveda, to spark joy

For over 20 years Betsy has had the great honor of guiding, teaching, facilitating and mentoring, rooted in the foundation of yoga, pranayama (breath work), meditation, Yoga Nidra, mindfulness and an integrative and holistic approach to whole life wellness. Tantra and the lineage of Sri Vidya and the Himalayan Masters has been the main focus of Betsy's study, practice, and teaching. It is through these ancient techniques, and their application to modern living, that she finds the integration of where the inner Self and the outer self meet.

Betsy subscribes, wholeheartedly, to the belief that each individual is born with innate wisdom and joy. She finds deepest meaning in facilitating the process of guiding others towards the remembering of what they already know; that they are a spark of the Divine, and ultimately, the architect of their own lives. She supports each client on building the scaffolding with which they will build the life most aligned with their inner Truth.

Betsy's unique approach utilizes her knowledge of coaching, yoga, Ayurveda, pranayama, meditation, and Yoga Nidra to become what she calls “Personal Training for Your Soul”. The tools, techniques, modalities and intuitive process join together to create the unique framework for each client’s individual needs in order to build a life filled with more joy, meaning, purpose, freedom and fulfillment.

Conversation with Dr. Mark Stephany discussing why one should care about their health and take ownership of it through the power of lifestyle as medicine.

Topics of Discussion:
-Overlap between the traditional medical space and lifestyle medicine
-Understanding the Lifestyle Determinants (Pillars) of Health
-Differences between functional medicine and lifestyle medicine

Dr. Mark Stephany is a board-certified internal medicine physician and American College of Lifestyle Medicine-certified diplomat who has practiced hospital-based medicine for 12 years. The choice for Dr. Mark to lead a healthier life came down to two reasons. One, if he was going to tell his patients to eat better and exercise more, he'd better be practicing what he preached. And two, since he didn't have the best genetics when it came to cardiovascular disease, he did not want to put his family through what he saw his parents and grandparents deal with as it related to their health and happiness. He chose to practice lifestyle medicine because it gives him the opportunity to make a world of difference in other people’s lives within the space of just a few sessions.

Conversation with Kim Lovejoy about the integration of somatic experiencing and breathwork.

Topics of Discussion:
-Transition from talk therapy to breathwork.
-The body's need to mobilize energy in order to regulate the nervous system.
-Intersection between somatic experiencing and breathwork

Kim Lovejoy has a passion for dancing with others in the healing spaces between the magical, spiritual and science through somatic experiencing, breathwork and energy healing. She has a respect for the innate healing wisdom held within the body & soul and she loves supporting others in reconnecting with their true self through compassion, humor and self love. 

As a somatic (body-based) therapist, Kim Lovejoy is interested in how to truly support the nervous system so that we can find a more regulated and grounded state of being. She has found breathwork to be a powerful tool to help move energy through the nervous system so it doesn't become overwhelming or stagnant. As we are able to move energy we create more capacity to experience the vast array of feelings and sensations that come with being fully alive.

In addition to her individual work, Kim has a passion for healing in community and holds monthly breathwork circles in the Twin Cities and facilitates breathwork at destination retreats throughout the year.
