S1 EP90 | Dharma Dudes: Burning Man Recap | Feat. Rocky Heron Sep 25, 2019

Show notes

Welcome back to Dharma Dudes. Rocky and I are back from the Playa and were recapping from our time at Burning Man.

Burning Man can be such an experience, not only going to it but leading up to it. We talk about the different camps, the art that is created, but also all the people that come together to join in. It’s a great digital detox from the world.
No cellphone service, no email- it was such an amazing time. We tend to do a lot in our lives to keep it moving. But during this week, there wasn’t any of that, just all of us coming together.
The community that comes together for Burning man is one of the greatest experiences. The different walks of life converging for a week together. Not only this year but all the years that we’ve individually made the journey with.

Don’t forget that you can join Rocky and me for a New Years Retreat in Mexico.

SS2 | Yoga & Functional Movement | Feat. Garrett Neill Jul 17, 2019

Show notes

Welcome back Tribe to another episode of the summer series with Shut Up and Yoga.

Garrett Neill joins today to talk about the beauty of functional movement, and its value in yoga.

Garrett is an author and writer for Shut Up and Yoga. As a Chiropractor, he has extensive knowledge of anatomy and function of the body. Drop and enjoy listening to:

Garrett and I talk about what books he's currently reading and nerding over. How he uses his book in knowledge in classes, but also which ones he recommends. From anatomy to books just on the spine, he shares some awesome books.
We also talk about where the line is when we teach asana or teach movement-based classes. The functional movement that comes out of each practice, but also how we find the yoga in each. He shares his insight on practices that allow us to pause and sit with ourself after whether movement-based or asana based.

Enjoy the collaboration Tribe!

SS2 | Yoga in the modern age | Feat. Sarah Dittmore Jul 03, 2019

Show notes

Welcome to the Summer Series!

Tribe, I'm excited to team with Shut Up and Yoga for this summers session.

Sharing stories and writings within the yoga community, Shut Up and Yoga is a blog that brings light into the uncomfortable topics that sometimes are overlooked or not talked about. These are important and real conversations that sometimes we should have while we continue to grow together as a community of yogis.

Sarah Dittmore joins me today, just back from her recent travels in a technicolor van around the United States. She is a writer and editor for Shut Up and Yoga. Joining the blog from the grassroots of it, we talk about the vitality in having these conversations that push the envelope in the yoga world.

S1 EP81 | Dharma Dudes: Pride - Being a Queer Yogi | Feat. Rocky Heron Jun 26, 2019

Show notes

Happy Pride Tribe! Dharma Dudes is back.

Some strong language is used, with talk about drug use. These talks come from an authentic place, alongside our typical banter. Rocky Heron and I explore how we experience the balance between being in the world as queer men, but also as a yoga teacher.

As queer men and growing into ourselves, sometimes it involves turning away from expectations and social norms. Trying on different hats and experiencing the yogic path that we enjoy. We talk about the dichotomy of what is being a yoga teacher and a queer man, with the worldly views of both.

Yoga doesn't say that you can't practice it if you enjoy other things that are outside the studio life. As queer men, we have experiences that we have to bring into this world. Knowing where we live, and what is viewed as acceptable practices. By experiencing them we start building the vocabulary around them, and conversations that involve them.

Join Rocky and me in Pachamama, Mexico for a New Years Retreat.

S1 EP65 | Yogi Misfit Sessions | Feat. Rocky Heron Feb 20, 2019

Show notes

Welcome to the Girlfriend Gab Podcast with Danni + Rocky!

Just kidding. But wouldn't that be super fun? Anyway, on with the show...

Rocky Heron is a really good friend, mentor, and a huge inspiration to me--I credit him for giving me the final push into becoming a yoga teacher. As a teacher for the Mazé Method and having gone through trainings with him, Rocky is a huge wealth of knowledge of not only the body and how it moves, but teaching the yoga asanas and thinking critically about teaching.

We also talk about what yoga is to different people--regular yoga vs. irregular yoga, if you will. We all have different frameworks, depending on what your lineage or training background might be, but it's all yoga. Keeping a line of inquiry in your own practice is also crucial; it's one of the best ways to discover your body and to encourage growth within your practice and teaching. What's working? How can you approach it differently?

I hope you enjoy listening in to this session and want to know if you have any takeaways.

S1 EP61 | Yogi Misfit Sessions | Yoga Medicine Jan 09, 2019

Show notes

If I'm being honest, my fangirl dreams have come true and Tiffany Cruikshank is my guest on the show! I'm thrilled to have her on and we talk about how she transitioned from an acupuncturist to yoga. Tiffany has a well-known school called Yoga Medicine that provides yoga teacher trainings that fuses anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics to work alongside medical professionals for students'/patients' well-being. I really admire her way of how she blends Eastern and Western modalities together and we dive in to that as well. She even gives some credibility to goat yoga...I hope you enjoy this session as much as I enjoyed recording it!

S1 EP60 | Yogi Misfit Sessions | The Year Ahead + The Business of Yoga Jan 02, 2019

Show notes

Hey yogis! I'm starting off 2019 with a twist. Krista Lettko, a marketing guru of the agency Authentic Audience, interviews (or hijacks, as she says) me on the show.

We talk about the business side of the yoga industry, managing your own brand as a yoga teacher, engaging, maintaining, and growing an authentic audience, and the H-U-S-T-L-E that is being a yoga teacher. There's a whole lot that goes into teaching yoga outside of showing up, maintaining continuing education, and getting those prime-time class slots. Hear about my experience, the lessons learned, and what's to come for the next year.

Yogi Misfit Sessions: BC1 The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck Dec 27, 2018

Show notes

Here we are! By now, we've finished reading book #1 of the Yogi Misfit Book Club. If you haven't yet finished it--no worries! Keep on keepin' on but there are spoilers ahead!

In this session, we talk about The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck and the biggest takeaways. What I loved about this book was how irreverent it was, and pointed out things that are easy to overlook. We get caught up in letting small issues take up all of our attention, but we need to learn how to give less of a f*ck. The five rules Manson puts forth on how to give less f*cks are also really solid--to challenge ourselves and put ourselves in uncomfortable positions repeatedly to grow is key.

What were some things that stood out to you? Let me know in the Yogi Misfits Facebook group!

Stay tuned for the next book (The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz):

Buy it here.

Keep up with all book club-related things here. You'll be joining the rad kula (community) that is the Yogi Misfits.

S1 EP53 | Yogi Misfit Sessions | Feat. Adell Bridges Oct 17, 2018

Show notes

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of hosting Adell Bridges at my home. She’s been living as a nomadic yoga teacher since January 2017. That’s almost 2 years on the road. In that time she’s lived and taught all over the world and called everywhere, ranging from India to London to Nicaragua, her temporary home.

The Instagram posts can make it seem like the most glamorous lifestyle in the world. But that’s far from true. In this session, we break down the pros and cons of being a nomadic yoga teacher. Nothing is held back and no topic is off limit. Listen and you’ll find out what I mean.

On a personal note, I just want to say thank you to Adell. She came into my life at the exact moment I needed her. I had been having a shitty week, but meeting and connecting with her reminded me that whatever dreams I have, I can make them real. Although we had just met, it seemed like I’d known her for years. So shout out to Adell, thanks for coming on the podcast and hope to see you soon.

As always, shout out to our friends at SF Yoga Magazine for their continued support.
