158 | Wednesday Q&A Nov 06, 2019

Show notes

I love that so many of you reach out to me asking questions every week. Really, being able to connect with you and see how your lives are changing is one of the best parts of this job. But I know that if one person has a question, a dozen more people will want to know the answer too — so I’m going to start answering them every Wednesday!

This week, I answer your questions about yoga, PT, sciatica, and friendship.

155 | Scariest yoga poses I see taught Oct 30, 2019

Show notes

As it’s almost Halloween, today I’m talking about the scariest yoga poses that I see being taught. Scary poses are ones which carry a lot of potential risks, especially when they’re taught in a class consisting of people with different experiences, histories, body shapes, sizes and conditions - pretty much any class! I’m particularly talking about poses which put a lot of stress on joints and poses which are risky to get in and out of. Listen in for my list of potentially harmful poses in order of least to most hazardous. And Happy Halloween! It's a really special day for me. Check in with me tomorrow, and you'll see why.

154 | Shedding layers of yourself Oct 28, 2019

Show notes

We are a month into autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. Here in the northeast of the U.S., the leaves are changing colors and falling. It’s a time of beauty, transition and renewal. The bareness of the trees is this kind of clearing for the next phase of seasons or change. This can be metaphorical for the shedding of our layers, getting rid of feelings or ways of being that do not serve us and getting back to our essence - a state of being where our mind, body and heart are whole.

153 | Top office ergonomic tips Oct 25, 2019

Show notes

Ergonomics is the study of designing the working environment in a way that makes people safe and more productive. Six to eight hours is a lot of time to be sitting in a position where the instrumentation is not really skillfully placed in accordance with how our biomechanics work. Use the tips in this episode to avoid carpal tunnel and other workplace hazards.

151 | Should we be looking back or forward? Oct 21, 2019

Show notes

Today's podcast is called, should we be looking back or forward? Sometimes whether people are talking about movement or pain or stress, there's a lot of energy that is being held in the past. Even happy memories might weigh us down because we might be stuck comparing our present lives to the “glory days”. Look forward to what else you can do for yourself and for others. And look back on the lessons you’ve learnt. But stay connected and grounded in the present because that’s what we have control over. Movement is a powerful tool for staying in the present because, although our minds often stray into the past and the future, our bodies remain in the now. So if you find yourself stuck in the past or the future, bring yourself into your body and move.

150 | Enchanted Connections are everywhere | with MJ Grant Oct 18, 2019

Show notes

Today my guest is a wonderful human being, MJ Grant. She is best known for her viral video ‘Dementia Can Be Beautiful’. In the video MJ’s mother, Carmen, realizes that she’s speaking to her daughter. MJ says she would never want to embarrass or belittle her mother by telling her she’s forgotten what her daughter looks like, and lets her make the connection herself. MJ is a proud CODA (Child of Deaf Adults). She loves that her videos have connected millions of people to her mother, who worked in a factory even though she has a college degree.

149 | Be your own advocate for your health Oct 16, 2019

Show notes

We’re so lucky to have modern medicine, but we also need to be advocates for our own health and remember that one person’s point of view, even if they’re a doctor, may not always be right for us. For example, I was offered treatment options with harsh side effects for my hyperactive thyroid. But I tried some alternative medicine treatments, and my thyroid returned to normal.
