Enter the Enneagrams - Introduction
March 27, 2023 02:00 - 42 minutes - 29.3 MBHello Lovelies! Rose and Tina are so excited to be back and they've got a few podcasts ready to go on a topic so many people are talking about: the Enneagrams. Rose says that studying the Enneagram has been life changing for her. What are they? And why do we want to know? The Enneagram is a system of personality typing that describes patterns in how people interpret the world and manage their emotions. The Enneagram describes nine personality types and maps each of these types on a nine-po...
The Dirtiest Word of them All
October 08, 2021 16:00 - 25 minutes - 17.3 MBWe all say some dirty words here or there. We know Rose has a special gift in swearing. In fact, comedian George Carlin has a famous bit about the 7 dirty words. But the dirtiest word you can possibly say to yourself is something we say every single day: SHOULD. "I should do THIS... I should do THAT." Lovelies, it's time to stop "Shoulding" ourselves, our partners, our families and realize how damaging it is to our hearts and souls. Can you do it? We hope you'll try. You can download this...
Momento Mori
August 13, 2021 13:00 - 24 minutes - 16.9 MBWe're back, friends... and once again we find ourselves managing a lot of change in our lives. How can a yogi ride the waves of life changes in a positive way, so we don't find ourselves asking "Who Moved My Cheese"? We turn to our Italian heritage for a special mantra: "Momento Mori" or "Remember Your Death". It's the lone constant in life, but let's not think of it in a scary, morbid way. Think of it in how you want to live. We're so happy to be back, Lovelies.
Rose and the Rhythms of Renewal
November 20, 2020 20:00 - 31 minutes - 21.7 MBIt's amazing what a good book can do for the soul. In this podcast (recorded just before Halloween), Rose shares her recent book club experience reading the book "Rhythms of Renewal: Trading Stress and Anxiety for a Life of Peace and Purpose" by Rebekah Lyons. Rebekah isn't a yogi, but oh how her writing speaks to the yogi soul. Lyons' book came out in 2019, but her words resonate deeply as we struggle through the rest of 2020. The four rhythms - Rest, Restore, Connect and Create - can hel...
Creating Space and Grace
July 16, 2020 17:00 - 37 minutes - 25.5 MBThere have been SO many changes in our lives in the recent weeks. We can't help but recognize this new age we're all living in. It is clear that we're all experiencing different levels of discord and even chaos. Sometimes, we even share our anxieties and fears with others in a way that robs them of their peace. So, what does a yogi need to get through this time? How about we start giving each other (and ourselves!) a little space and grace. Rose offers up a challenge for each yogi to discon...
Return to "Normal"
May 14, 2020 22:00 - 36 minutes - 25 MBIt's been a long quarantine, Lovelies, and maybe we're finally beginning to see a light at the end of the tunnel. Rose and Tina return to talk about the stages of emotions they each experienced during the COVID shutdown. From worry to sadness to downright rage, we've all found ourselves experiencing feelings we didn't anticipate. What will our lives look like after this? How will each of us use this "life reset" and redefine what normal should be. We'll talk about an animal totem - the FROG...
40 Days of Kindness, Religion & Spirituality
February 25, 2020 16:00 - 26 minutes - 18 MBReligion. Spirituality. Yoga. Over the years, I’ve heard a lot of chit-chat at Soul Stretch and at other yoga events about those three words… religion, spirituality, yoga, and whether you can be right with your religion and still practice yoga, whether spirituality is religious in nature, if all three are different sides of the same triangle. Well, lovelies, I’m here to tell you that for this yogi, they are not mutually exclusive practices. They all teach us that there is more to life th...
It's God's Timing
February 04, 2020 17:00 - 31 minutes - 21.4 MBWaiting well is not something that comes easy, and certainly not to a fast-paced yogi like Rose. She used to be the epitome of "I-Want-What-I-Want-When-I-Want-It"... and heaven help anyone who got in her way. But yoga helped her discover a few truth bombs, the most important of which is: Timing belongs to God. Not me, not you. God. Rose and Tina share a few stories about turning that switch and practicing the surrender to what God has planned for us. We have another beautiful story from Nikk...
The Brick
January 22, 2020 14:00 - 27 minutes - 18.9 MBSometimes, God throws a brick in our path to be sure we heard his message. This story and conversation comes from one of our most loved emails, simply known as: The Brick. Rose retells a story shared by yoga teacher Nikki about a boy who threw a brick into the path of an oncoming car. It's so touching. The real story involves a Catawba yoga student who, after hearing THAT story in THAT class on THAT day, found his life was changed after hearing it. It was his brick; his transformation. And t...
Power versus Influence
January 15, 2020 17:00 - 31 minutes - 21.6 MBDid you ever meet "Power Rose"? She was a force to be reckoned with. She could walk into the office of an advertising client and own the room. Her marketing prowess would help drive profits to great heights. It sure fed the ego. Twenty years later after discovering yoga, she realized that having power with people didn't feed the soul. But what DID, was the notion of being a good influence. The best influencers encourage people to take risks, but also accept failures and still find the courag...
The Stewing is Worse than the Doing
December 18, 2019 16:00 - 37 minutes - 25.9 MBWe're all exhausted this time of year from the pressure of the holidays. We're cranky because we have so much to do. It gets compounded at the New Year when we start thinking about our resolutions and change. We get stuck and resist. We stew. What we really need to to "stop stewing" and "start doing". How do we do it? By finding our Tapas and cooking ourselves in the fire of self-discipline. Part of that elusive process means getting past the blocks we throw in our path. Rose and Tina talk ...
What is a Mantra and why do I need one?
December 04, 2019 14:00 - 25 minutes - 17.3 MBRose kicks off episode #1 by introducing us to the ladies on her team who bring Soul Stretch e-blasts to life, then discusses exactly WHAT a mantra is and why we need them in our lives. From gratitude mantras like "Thank you for bringing me here" and "I Am ___, I Am Surrounded By___ and I Am Grateful For___" to a mantra to just keep you centered, calm and positive: "Just Keep Swimming..." you'll come to love this workhorse in your yoga tool box. Rose walks us through taking "box breaths" to ...
