Yoga with Clara : 078 - Expanding the Heart's Capacity
Fellow creatives, we have a mission. An important purpose to fulfill in life.

But in order to fulfill this purpose, we need to find a way to navigate through weeks with heavy news while still remaining open enough to the creative flow to create the work the world needs now and in the future.

In episode 77 of the Yoga with Clara Podcast, I share practices on how to navigate those waters. Listen where you find podcasts, or at doyogawithclara.com/podcast
In the latest episode of the Yoga with Clara podcast, I share one of the ways the practice of Morning Pages is transformational.

Listen for more practices to cope with heavy news wherever you listen to podcasts, or at doyogawithclara.com/podcast
Journaling is one of the key pieces of Julia Cameron's program in her book The Artist's Way.

The Morning Pages are like a trail guide to your inner truth and a beacon lighting the way as you rekindle your creativity. Join me on this journey beginning September 13th.

Has your creative expression ever been stymied by self-doubt? Just like I tell my high school acting students, we have to put tools in our toolbox to deal with the inevitable mental and emotional challenges of being a creative person - whether we are pursuing that vocationally or avocationally.

I once wrote a story for my grandmother but never showed it to her because I got the tiniest criticism as I was getting ready to print it. I wish I could have shared that story with her.

Having the tools to address self-doubt when it arises helps us live and tap into our creative flow freely.

This week on the podcast, I'm sharing tools to deal with self-doubt as a creative person.

Vocal Rx - Practical Tips for a Healthy & Dynamic Voice
doyogawithclara.com/vocalrx
Oh my goodness, there's so much to unpack here.

This is part of why I've put together Vocal Rx, a 5-week course that begins September 8th. One of the most common things I hear, whether it is from my high school acting students or adults in the podcasting space, or people that I talk to at parties (back when we had parties):
"I hate my voice!"

😥 That always makes me so sad. Your voice is so unique - and beautiful in its uniqueness.

I want to help you cultivate practices that will not only help you feel better in your voice and the use of your voice, but also learn to love your voice.

I'd love to hear what you think about this podcast episode, it's only 16 minutes! 🎧

And if you want to know more about Vocal Rx, head over to http://doyogawithclara.com/vocalrx

About Clara

Teaching feel-good stretchy yoga to busy people to help them live a life of more ease and more everyday creativity.

Clara is a recovering people-pleaser. She spent a lot of years fitting herself into a box that (she thought) made other people happy. She loved yoga, but she didn’t always get to class. She spent a lot of time driving for work, driving her son to school and to his activities, sitting hunched over a computer – she knows how bad it feels to put off feeling better. She also knows how good it feels to take action toward feeling better.

Many of us have jobs that keep us sitting at desks, or responsibilities that keep us sitting in the car. Whether you are hunched over a computer at the office or hunched over the wheel in the carpool line, all that sitting can make our backs sore, our hips cranky, and our necks and shoulders chronically ache. Even if we enjoy a regular walk, or hit the gym for a workout on the way home, our bodies can feel stiff and sore. We need to stretch it out and move our bodies into shapes that work out the kinks.

She has studied many types of yoga, but the type of yoga Clara shares is all about feeling better – in mind, body, and spirit. She draws from those many yoga traditions and a modern understanding of human anatomy to help create more physical ease. Once your body feels better, your mind and spirit feel better, too.
