Life and Work with Myla Ivers

Today we’d like to introduce you to Myla Ivers.

So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
My story is kinda a crazy one! When I was just about to graduate high school, my boyfriend at the time hung himself. It threw my life into an insane tornado of depression. Every day, felt hard just to be a part of and I honestly had no hope for a way out. My dad encouraged me to try hot yoga and I can say with all honesty it’s totally what saved my life and shaped who I am today. I noticed when I went to class- little by little, I could smile and laugh again and being on planet earth didn’t feel so hard anymore. I did my first yoga teacher training in 2006 and have taken and led many others since then. I began to understand that happiness was a choice and it was up to me to do the work if I wanted to see the change. I believe, no matter how dark someone perceives their life to be if you practice yoga on a consistent basis you will find a way to move through the darkness. I’ve always been drawn to all things magical- and by that I mean the good stuff life has to offer. The people and situations you find yourself in where your heart is wildly bumping with gratitude and freedom, lots of laughter and smiles, amazing/ stimulating conversations, the true expression of oneself… magic. Even though I had found yoga, there were still some missing pieces.

I moved to LA in 2008 and decided to figure out what that all meant. I became a Reiki master, breath work and meditation coach. I studied with Dr. Linda Howe and became an advanced certified akashic records practitioner. After learning to read the Akashic Records everything began to shift (again, and even deeper). Akashic Records help you find clarity and giving or receiving a reading is super powerful. I knew I wanted to help people find a way back to themselves. To the magic part that we are all born with, but sometimes lose along the way. I wanted to help people Master their magic. And so, Master Your Magic was born. I understood that all things that go wrong in our physical life (back pain, bad relationships, stress, insomnia, fear, injuries- all of it) begins from an imbalance in energy. This is the chakra system. The energetic wheels connect our energetic self to our physical self. Most of the time, something happens energetically and instead of humans dealing with it, we hide, run or stuff it away to be dealt with later. Some humans are doing the real work- most are not.

What happens when we ignore these issues is that over time, they manifest into something physical. Again, if ignored, the physical symptom worsens and becomes a disease. Understanding this and how the chakra system works were fascinating to me. As long as we do the work both energetically and take care of our physical self (putting good things in our body, showing up on your mat, drinking water), we can find balance in our chakra system and live a life that feels magic AF!!! Problem is… not many are willing to do the work. So! I got excited and decided to create a program that is so easy to follow- anyone can do the work. It’s called “From meh to magic.” I’m so obsessed with it! It is done all online so you can literally do it anywhere. It is for eight weeks and will completely transform your life. Each week, we do yoga, breathwork and meditation, we focus on the seven main chakras and how they relate to us physically and energetically. The changes in people from start to end are crazy. Weight loss (we do a badass cleanse with Purium), more energy, flexible and stronger, happier, sexier, better relationships- basically, actually loving the life you are living instead of loathing it like I used to. It is my absolute pleasure to get to be a part of the change happening on the planet and I feel so thankful to have these tools to share with others. I watched my own life go from mehhhhhh af to MAGIC AF! And I want nothing more than to see everyone around me feel the same way!

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
My advice to anyone just getting started is- no matter what, NEVER EVER GIVE UP! perseverance is so key. Also, self study. This is equally (if not more!) important as putting effort into your career. Progress will be slow if you don’t get to know yourself and put in time and effort to grow and change. Learn how you respond, learn how you communicate, learn about the voice inside your mind, as well as the one who hears the voice. Get to know grace. Learn to live in gratitude. Find out who and what lights your heart on fire and don’t settle for less! This path will look different to all of us, so learn about yourself so you can have a advantage. I believe anyone can create a magical life if they have the tools and the will to do so. If something isn’t working out for you in the physical plane it is almost always something that hasn’t been lined up energetically. The work has to be done from both sides! Don’t skip the spiritual stuff because you have no time, it is just as important on your journey as anything else!

Master your magic is brand for people wanting to explore deeper into themselves and find out what is causing the things in life that are unwanted. Master your magic helps people learn the tools to heal themselves so that they don’t need to look outside themselves as often for help. My 8-week program From Meh To Magic helps people explore in a way that feels safe and transformational. The really cool part- and what I’m most proud of- is the change that takes place from beginning to end. No one deserves to live and die in the mehhhhhhhh of life! We all deserve to live and breathe in the magic. Another fun bit of Master Your Magic is the Akashic Records readings I give. This is the energetic library where all things regarding your soul are kept. The readings are confidential, specific to you and your journey and provide sooooo much clarity on all life issues. The last part that I am IN LOVE WITH is the international yoga retreats I host with my business partner and best friend Lauren LiBrandi. This is how we take all the awesome stuff we do online and bring it out into the world. Our purpose is to combine and teach the tools to heal while sharing in adventure and community with like-minded/fun people! We just came back from Bali and had such an amazing time.

There’s a wealth of academic research that suggests that a lack of mentors and networking opportunities for women has materially affected the number of women in leadership roles. Smart organizations and industry leaders are working to change this, but in the meantime, do you have any advice for finding a mentor and building a network?
If you have no money get the app overdrive and listen to as many free self-help audiobooks as possible. Follow the people who inspire you, be friends with people who inspire you, take community yoga or do it on YouTube. There are so many free resources so money should never be an excuse as to why there is no growth happening. Learn to meditate and do breathwork- it’s totally free and will shift everything. Research the coach you want before you even have the money. When you put things into the universe and trust, they always line up! I did a ton of research to find the right coach for me. Jordan Duvall is the one I went with and am so glad I did! There are so many coaches out there, you will know the right one because you will feel it in your heart. It should feel good! If it is scary to spend the money and go after your dreams- do it! When you are scared it’s usually the thing you should go after. Your body, mind, life etc. cannot change by doing the same thing you have been doing- you must push yourself out of your comfort zone. It’s within the discomfort that we begin to see results and find out who we really are.
