How To Embrace Change and Use Resistance As Our Ally | Featuring Heather Ivany

The Balanced Being Podcast with Gunny Sodhi

I'm joined this week by Heather Ivany, renowned holistic practitioner teaching yoga, meditation, and Akashic reading. Heather has been offering private and public classes, workshops, and retreats for over 20 years.

Heather had a career as a firefighter when she decided to teach herself yoga by reading The Woman’s Book of Yoga and Health by Linda Sparrowe. She went on to yoga teacher training in Victoria, B.C. The study of yoga has helped Heather to develop a softer, more feminine side of herself, contrasting with the more masculine energy she cultivated before.

Heather has become popular for saying that we can use resistance constructively as our ally. All of us have blind spots and can be susceptible to being swayed by resistance. Heather points out that resistance is tough to rationalize with and believes that the best way to deal with resistance is to create an intention that is more powerful than resistance.

Along with ways to deal with resistance, Heather will share the routines and nonnegotiables that keep her centered and aligned with her purpose.

In this episode, we will discuss:

• Heather’s journey from firefighter to holistic practitioner and yoga teacher
• How we can embrace change and use resistance as our ally
• What resistance reveals to us
• How energy works “The degree to which resistance is presenting itself is the degree to which the opportunity of change is available to you”
• The power of intention
• How resistance continues to fight change
• Akashic records: How to identify and align with your soul’s purpose
• How Heather keeps intention at the forefront of her mind

Heather's mentorship program, Unlocking You, combines innovative methods to help individuals connect to their higher self, align with their soul's purpose, and stay on track even when they are being swayed. The four-month program starts on April 14th. Heather also offers private programs year-round.
