“Returning to the Body Mind”
with Dr. Melissa West

Sponsored by:

Returning to the Body Mind is a radio show that revisits the wisdom of the body as the seat of the soul. With so much talk in the media about manifesting and mind over matter we may have forgotten about the importance of the health of our bodies as the foundation for spiritual and personal growth. There is a deep-seated tradition of thinking in the Western world that privileges the mind over the body. Yet even as spiritual beings we inhabit human bodies. The body is truly a temple for our spirit. In order to honor our bodies we need to treat them with optimal respect by properly nourishing them with good hydration, oxygenation, sleep, nutrition, and activities that uplift the soul. On Returning to the Body Mind, radio talk show host Dr. Melissa West will lead you through a series of common sense topics from breathing, hydration, sleep, digestion, and sex as tools not only to optimal health but as a gateway to the soul.

Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy with Karen Hasskarl
As we struggle to keep up with the hectic pace of our busy lives, we may find ourselves longing for simplicity, inner peace, and deeper meaning, for a way to heal our bodies, our spirits, and our lives. Though at times we look for outside sources to guide us, somewhere deep inside we know that we must slow down, reconnect with ourselves, and listen to our own inner voice. Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, through a combination of classical yoga techniques and elements of contemporary body-mind psychology, encourages this deeper connection with self. Karen began her study of yoga and meditation as a teenager, entering the field professionally in 1988 as a Certified Kripalu Yoga Teacher. A few years later she began her training in Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy. Karen was initially appointed Program Assistants' manager and, after a few years of working alongside Michael Lee, she stepped from co-teaching to leading programs herself. Karen has provided support and training for over 150 mentors and 900 students.
