    Interested in the Yogipreneur Mastermind? Get on the waitlist for round 4.0 kicking off Aug 2026!  Ever feel like you’re doing everything right for your health… but your body still isn’t cooperating? Like you’re motivated one week… exhausted the next… starving out of nowhere… and quietly wondering what’s wrong with you? Nothing’s wrong with you. You might just be living like a man on a 24-hour clock — in a body that runs on a 28-day rhythm. In this episode, Jess Suchan and I dive into cyclical living — what it actually looks like to work with your hormones instead of fighting them — and why this might be the missing piece in women’s wellness (especially for yoga teachers). In This Episode: 👉🏼 The quiet way “male-based” wellness advice keeps high-achieving women exhausted ✨ The phase where you feel magnetic and bold — and the one where you suddenly doubt your entire life 🌙 Why your cycle mirrors the moon — and how to sync with it even if your period is unpredictable 🥩 Why “steak on your period” might be more intuitive than your green smoothie 🔥 The ovulation myth that sounds empowering… but actually sets women up to feel broken 🧘🏻‍♀️ The week your nervous system is whispering “slow down” — and you’re signed up for HIIT 🍫 The nutrient almost every woman is deficient in (and why your chocolate craving isn’t random) 💥 What really happens when you push through your luteal phase like it’s follicular 🌿 How to plan launches, creative work, tough conversations, and rest around your hormonal rhythm If you’re a yoga teacher — this conversation will change how you plan your classes, your workouts, your content, and your energy. If you’re a woman — this will change how you treat yourself. Press play and start working with your rhythm instead of against it. 🎧 If This Episode Sparked Something, Listen Next: Transmuting Trauma through Sacred Sensuality w/ Shayna Hiller Where Neuroscience and Yoga Collide w/ Bassanti Pathak You Are Not Just a Body: Understanding Your Three Selves for Real Healing w/ Sarah DeBlock Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/master-your-yoga-teaching-with-makenzie-fly--6089975/support.

    When Relaxation Backfires: The Triggers Yoga Teachers Miss w/ Liz Albanis

    What if your “relaxing” yoga class was triggering someone’s trauma response? Candles. Cues. Eye pillows. Music.

Liz says… maybe not. 🥹 One student passed out, the teacher laughed.
