From Judgment to Lightness

What if the key to lightness—on the yoga mat and in your spirit—was simply letting go? In this week’s episode of the Mystic Airheads Podcast, we explore the Judgment tarot card and how attachment breeds judgment. Then, we take that wisdom onto the mat with kakasana (crow pose), where the only way to fly is to release what weighs you down.

Reclaiming Our Voices

This past weekend, I lost my voice—but not my power. On Transgender Day of Visibility, I shouted, marched, and stood in my truth, only to wake up with nothing but silence. Yet, in that quiet, I found another kind of strength—the breath, the stillness, the energy that speaks when words fail. This week on the mat, we explore vocalization in all its forms. How do we express ourselves when our voices falter? How do we breathe through frustration when we feel unheard? Let’s move, breathe, and reclaim our voices—together.

Holding Yourself Through the Flip: Trusting Change and Finding Balance

The world is flipping upside down. Change is happening—some of it exhilarating, some of it terrifying. But here’s the truth: the only way to the beauty on the other side is through. Just like in yoga, where inversions challenge us to surrender to the unknown, life asks us to find balance within the flip. This week, we step into that trust—on the mat and beyond.

How Are You? No, Really.

How Are You? No, Really.

"How are you?" It’s a simple question, but do we ever answer it honestly?

Most days, I don’t. Because the truth is… I’m not fine. I’m not okay. And I know I’m not alone in that.

If you’re tired of pretending, if you want a space where you can be real—I see you. I hear you. And I actually want to know:

How are you, really?

Brahmacharya: The Proper Use of Magic Energy

Our energy is not just our own—it is woven into the fabric of our community, our relationships, and the earth itself. When we move with intention, we create balance. When we respect our own magic, we can reconnect—to each other, the land, and the deep wisdom that lives within us.

The Unshakeable Mountain

The story of Krishna lifting Govardhan Mountain is more than ancient mythology—it is a lesson in resilience, protection, and standing firm in the face of adversity. Like the unshakable mountain, we too must root ourselves deeply in our truth. In the storms of life, especially as queer individuals, we find strength in authenticity, community, and the dharma we carve for ourselves.

Letting Go of Expectations: Meditation, Life, and the Freedom to Just Be

So many of us hold ourselves back because of expectations—what things should look like, how they should feel. But what if you let go? A recent conversation reminded me that meditation, yoga, and even life itself become so much easier when we release the need for perfection. Join me in exploring mindfulness without the pressure.

Rooted in Compassion: A Loving-Kindness Meditation

Compassion isn’t just something we extend outward—it’s something we must also learn to offer ourselves. And yet, for many of us, self-compassion can feel like the hardest thing to give.

Unshrinking: The Practice of Taking Up Space

Taking up space is still something I have to practice. It’s not easy. It means unraveling years—decades—of being told to be smaller. It means learning, over and over again, that I am allowed to be here. That I belong in every space I enter. That I don’t have to justify my existence. That’s what this week’s Queer Flow is about—showing up, unshrinking, and taking up space.
