EPISODE OVERVIEW: I have a wonderful conversation with Liza Colpa, a yoga and meditation teacher, with over 1,000 hours of teaching under her belt. She is on a mission to use yoga as a tool, and lead by example for the purpose of your healing, growth, self-development, and transformation. We talk about how yoga helped save and heal Liza from a past riddled in trauma in the form of domestic violence, sexual abuse and familial karma. We also discuss how you can use yoga and meditation as healing tools, the misconceptions about meditation and what it actually is, and we even get on the topic of manifestation.
In this episode we talk about:
- How yoga started off as a life raft for Liza, and then became her passion and mission, which has since become her life’s work.
- Familial karma, and how you can change it through the practice of yoga.
- How the universe will throw you a life jacket when you need it most
- Seasonal depression and how yoga is a tool to prevent or minimize symptoms
- Yoga and meditation as tools for healing and transformation
- The false assumptions people make about meditation and manifestation
- How trauma doesn’t define you, and how you have the ability to change the narrative that comes along with that which you may have experienced
ABOUT THE GUEST: Liza Colpa is a passionate and playful 500-ERYT and YACEP Yoga Alliance certified teacher. Over a decade ago she found, and fell in love with the practice of yoga, when she was an overachieving teenager who was weighed down by internal pressure, past wounds and anxiety. She later received her certification from Bearfoot Yoga in her hometown of Bayshore, New York. Her background, lineage, and style of teaching stem from Integral Yoga and Dharma Mittra and Briohny Smyth. She is also certified in Prenatal Yoga, Adaptive Gentle and Chair Yoga as well as yoga for Eating Disorder Awareness.
