On the first solo episode of this season, we’re talking about yoga + self esteem. The inspiration for this episode of the show came from an episode that my boyfriend, Ryan, and I did for our travel podcast on how travel improves self esteem. The entire time we were recording, I kept thinking to myself “there are so many parallels with yoga! So, I decided to do an episode on yoga + self esteem.

This episode is based off the principles of self esteem discussed in Nathaniel Branden’s “The Six Pillars of Self Esteem”. I discuss how yoga can improve self esteem + how the principles of self esteem are largely linked to the practice of yoga. I analyze each pillar one at a time, and they each build off one another to make up the big picture of a strong self esteem.

I begin by defining self esteem, and then moving through the pillars in the following order:

1. Living consciously
2. Self Acceptance
3. Self Responsibility
4. Self Assertiveness
5. Living Purposefully
6. Integrity

I believe that having a strong sense of self + a good self esteem is key to a happy life, and I truly believe that yoga can have a profound effect on how we feel about ourselves.
