15: When Spirituality Becomes Avoidance: Understanding Spiritual Bypassing

15: When Spirituality Becomes Avoidance: Understanding Spiritual Bypassing

Have you ever felt out of place in a yoga or spiritual space, surrounded by all the “good vibes”, but inside something just didn’t sit right? That subtle discomfort, what I call the spiritual ick, often points to something deeper being avoided.
In this episode, I explore spiritual bypassing: when spiritual language or practices are used to dismiss real emotions, grief, trauma, or responsibility. We’ll look at:
What spiritual bypassing is and how it shows up in yoga and wellness spaces
Common phrases that can unintentionally create harm
The consequences bypassing has on our nervous system and healing journey
Why integration, embodiment, and grounded practices matter more than “high vibe only”
How to create yoga spaces where all of you is welcome
If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at “just let go” or felt unseen in a yoga class that pushed positivity over reality, this conversation is for you.

If this resonates and you feel called to this work, I invite you take the first gentle steps:
