Episode notes
We celebrate Summer Solstice by jumping the fire. + Menopause yoga, I interview a yoga teacher taking an holistic approach to helping women in menopause live a stress-free life.
In this episode I’m in conversation with my guest Dilyana Mileva who is the founder of Dilyana Yoga. She’s a private Yoga teaching in Vancouver Canada and online.
Dilyana’s mission is “To empower and uplift woman in midlife to live their lives in purpose, power and passion. By providing an environment conducive to their healing and growth.“
She also offers Rise Above Menopause as an online course for woman 40+. The course teaches you how prepare to go through menopause so to keep you balanced and to feel happier, and you’re more relaxed and healthier. I think we all wish for that as we go towards our magical years.
Jumping the summer solstice fire at home. A simple technique to let go of your Resistance to change.
I welcomed Dilyana at this time of mid summer solstice when the underlying energy is the peak of expression and expansion. Because Solstice is one of the fire ceremonies of purification and setting intention it’s the ideal time for moving forward with our projects.
We started the conversation with a ritual of ‘jumping the flames’ represented by our desktop lite candle. Dilyana was letting go of things that no longer benefit her because they were holding her back. As well as letting go of the resistance to change. I’m sure many of us struggle with. Resistance to change can affect sensitive, creative and artisan women. At summer Solstice we are clearing the way for the new to come into our life.
Dilyana explained that in menopause the women’s spiritual aspect becomes stronger. To encourage this and for hormone balancing she uses pranayama yogic breathing. Other techniques are meditation, menopause yin yoga and holistic health techniques.
I was curious to hear about hand reflexology with breath work. Dilyana uses these techniques to help calm the mind ready for sleep. We also chatted about going inside ourselves to find a greater sense of peace for spiritual connection.
What’s good in your day?
I ask my guests what’s good in your day? Dilyana was enthusiastic about her yoga practice outside because on the ground it feels grounding and uplifting. Outside yoga starts her day off with a feeling of relaxed calm
