Very devoted, I did some styling at the Shambhala Center here in New York. I read meditation and I started out with breathing and I started a meditation practice. I had an amazing OB/GYN with my second birth who said to me: “We can put you on medication or I can teach you Kundalini. And that’s how I came into the world of yoga. I would just start shaking and then have an attack. First a panic attach and later on I’d be sick all night and after I had my second child, four years later, and they continued on and I just knew I could not be a parent to two kids and be literally falling apart every time something scary happened with one of them. And what I was diagnosed with is IBS and I would have these episodes and they would all be connected. Then I started having episodes of just like all night long vomiting. I thought I was dying, having heart attacks. Two years after I had her, I started having episodes that were panic attacks.

Talking Breath of Fire with Amel LarrieuxĪBIOLA: Can you share a little bit for us what yoga has meant to you and then show us a really easy yoga move that we could do right here?ĪMEL: Sure, well my first born is eighteen now, almost nineteen (at the time of the interview). ::::If you can’t see the video above, click here to watch it on YouTube. Watch the Video… Then Read About it Below It is a yogic discipline with origins in ancient India.” Not “restrain, or control” as is often translated from yam instead of ayāma. The word is composed of two Sanskrit words: prana, life force, or vital energy, noted particularly as the breath, and ayāma, to extend or draw out. “Prāṇāyāma (Sanskrit: प्राणायाम prāṇāyāma) is a Sanskrit word meaning “extension of the prāṇa or breath” or “extension of the life force”. Watch the video here - and meanwhile, here’s what the Wikipedia gurus have to say on the topic. That’s why the extended dialogue is included in The Sacred Bombshell Handbook of Self-Love. The conversation with Amel was so powerful that I want to share it with as many women as possible. Along with Erykah Badu, India Arie, Jill Scott, Alicia Keys, D’Angelo, Maxwell and others, they changed the face of music and defined a generation – mine! Amel was half of the neo-soul powerhouse known as Groove Theory. That’s right, the Bravebird is also a yogini.

We took a moment to power up and cleanse with the pranayama breathing technique known as breath of fire, Agni-Prasana. It was my sacred honor to have a positive healing dialogue with singer Amel Larrieux. For text reminders whenever I am going LIVE, text GODDESSTEMPLE to 43506.
