Numbing or Nurturing? Aug 15, 2019

Show notes

When Carling gave birth to Harvey we spent a good amount of time in the hospital, which led to us discussing when are our experiences nurturing growth versus when are we becoming numb to get through the moment.

In the yoga practice we all strive to be as present as possible and not wish moments of our life away, but in reality that is only a goal at which we can strive for. Life comes in waves, some of them you will wish would never end and others that you wish would never start. Either way you see things currently how can we live with an opportunistic mindset to explore what is in front of us at the moment to continue to grow as people.

Does Alignment Matter? Aug 12, 2019

Show notes

In this episode we discuss what exactly "Alignment Yoga" is and how we might define the differences between "Good" and "Bad" alignment. With the rise in popularity of group yoga asana classes, the need for standard cueing and aesthetics may have led us to believe that there are right and wrong ways to practice so we wonder who exactly gets to decide many lineages gilded alignment rules, and if we really can apply them as students and teachers.

Can you teach it if you can't do it? Jul 25, 2019

Show notes

After a week off of podcasting to welcome the newest member of the family into the world, Patrick and Carling are back chatting about the age old question, can you teach it if you can't do it?

They discuss how embodiment, rather than performance, is the attribute that can help a teacher trans,mute their concepts with integrity & passion. How the same concept can be taught more diversely when we come from a place of personal experience, no matter what level it is.
