S1 EP165 | It's All Yoga | Feat. Annie Carpenter May 26, 2021

Show notes

I never really thought a walk in nature was yoga, but it’s true. Any gateway to a mindful side is all a part of the practice. When Annie Carpenter mentioned this to me, it got me curious about other areas that bring us there. You see, Annie has this gift; she’s been teaching for a while and, in my opinion, is one of the titans. She has this special way of inviting you into your body without taking you fully out of the experience. She balances this fine line with grace and ease. It’s truly something special to see.

I am so glad to have her on the show this week. What I loved about our convo is how easy it flowed. We’ve circled around one another in SF, and she’s always been someone I love and respect. She drops some beautiful wisdom about yoga that will make you reflect on all the places yoga truly is (y'all... it's everywhere!). This is one of those episodes that, for me, could have easily gone two hours. Listen and enjoy!

S1 EP163 | Stay in the Stillness| Feat. Rocky Heron Apr 28, 2021

Show notes

One of the greatest honors in this life is to witness my friends inside their growth process. I often get to see them step into their authentic truth, which is such a gift! Being allowed in to see someone’s life and to hear of all the twists and turns on their path is pretty damn special.

This week's podcast is Part 2 of a check-in with one of my best buds, Rocky Heron @rockyheron. It had been a minute since we’ve podcasted, so we gave each other some air to talk about what is new in each other’s world. What I love about these two conversations with Rocky is how real we kept them. This is an invitation to listen to us express who we truly are in this moment and where we’re both headed on our yoga journeys and in our lives. Tune in and enjoy, yogis.

S1 EP162 | Intentional Growth| Feat. Rocky Heron Apr 23, 2021

Show notes

My mind is still blown by the reality of my opening a yoga studio in San Francisco. I took a moment and reflected back on all the things that have gotten me to this place and this space -- All the boxes I thought I needed to check. All the yoga teachers whose voices I borrowed until I found the power of my own. And, you know what? I wouldn’t take any of it back, because it’s gotten me to this place of deeply knowing my truth and passion. There’s no way around it: I love building community and holding safe space. It brings so much joy into my life.

Rocky Heron @rockyheron and I haven’t done a pod together in a few months, but today we tuned in together. Prepare for the typical shenanigans and some checking in on where we are in life. We both had a few things on the brain, so this is part one of two. This episode shines a light on where I am at with my journey and what I am doing to move forward. Tune in today and watch out for Part 2!

S1 EP157 | Yoga Teachers Should Thrive| Feat. Celest Mar 10, 2021

Show notes

Knowing that I’ve found my passion and what I believe to be my dharma has been a gift; however, I know for a fact that I wouldn’t have made it this far without the guidance of my mentors. I’ve studied myself long enough to know that I can only get so far on my own. When I want to go further, I call on the support and insight from those who have walked the path before me. I not only call on my mentors, but I also call on those loved ones who will call me out on my shit and help keep me honest. I can happily say, “I LOVE WHAT I DO” every single day of my life -- even when it’s hard! This is my dharma and it is purposeful.

Celest Pereira feels the same. I don’t know if she knows this or not, but she was a mentor to me before we ever spoke. Watching her be her authentic self has given me permission to do the same. She’s no stranger to the yoga show, and we’re both super passionate about helping our fellow yoga teachers turn their passion or niche into a decent living. She has this way of being inspiring even when she’s not trying to be. If you’re a yoga teacher, listen to this episode! If you know a yoga teacher, send them this episode! Celest and I jump into why yoga teachers should adopt a thrive-mindset towards their business. Sometimes all we need is a little nudge in the right direction to get moving. Listen and enjoy, yogis.

S1 EP154 | Yoga Deconstructed | Feat. Trina Altman Feb 17, 2021

Show notes

I've always considered myself an asana-based teacher. And, for the most part, I just “get it” when it comes to postural alignment. As a vinyasa junkie, I am always looking for new ways to apply modern movement science to the way I teach classes and lead my yoga teacher trainings. My teaching completely changed a few years back thanks to the lovely human behind Yoga Deconstructed®. She made me fall in love with asana all over again!

If you're not following Trina Altman @trinaaltman, you should start now. This week she's back on the SEEKER + SAGE pod and she's got some big news! I for one am super proud of her and selfishly so happy that she WROTE A BOOK! I picked her new read up and truthfully could not put it down until I finished it. One of my favorite parts about hosting this podcast is hosting amazing yogis and business minds with so much knowledge to pass on. Trina is no exception! Tune into the show and listen to her amazing journey! Oh, and pick up the book! You'll thank yourself later. Listen and enjoy.

Listen to the Yoga Business Mastermind Webinar inside of my Danni Pomplun Yoga app!

Grab a copy of Trina's book!

S1 EP152 | Everyone Deserves to Feel Better | Feat. Tara Stiles Feb 03, 2021

Show notes

Looking back at 2020, the thing I can recall most was my depression in the middle of last summer and how badly I wanted out... no matter what it took. I knew I was either going to do something incredibly self-destructive or something that would change my life for the better. I sat with this choice and came to the conclusion that I was worthy of better. In fact, I knew I deserved it. It's not easy, but I took the necessary steps to change up my routine and simplify my life. And this podcast speaks to just that - the value of your worth and the steps to take to feel at your best. On this week's episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Tara Stiles, she is an author and true believer in the notion that everyone deserves to feel better. She believes this so much, she wrote THE book about it. She shares her tools on how to help us return home to ourselves. Tara and I must have been separated at birth. The moment we started speaking on this week's podcast, I knew she was a true Sage. Tara is down-to-earth, real, and gives it to you how it is, which can be hard to come by in the yoga world. Stick around for the end, where she ends the show with a sweet mini-meditation.

S1 EP151 | From Misfit to Sage | Danni Gets Interviewed Jan 27, 2021

Show notes

There are some big changes happening over in the land of Danni Pomplun. This week on the show I'm interviewed by the one and only Steven Andrew @stevenandrewyoga. Some of you might know Steven as my go-to sub when I can't be with you for class. He's definitely saved the day a few times in my life and has definitely been a true support when I needed it. He's not only seen the evolutions of my own life but also of the community as well. I feel really comfortable with Steven and he got me to open up and share where I'm going this year and how I came to those realizations. I gave myself permission to be vulnerable and hope this gives others permission to do the same.

And BONUS alert! Book Club is back this month along with a FREE Anatomy Webinar with me and the incomparable Derek Cook. Head to the new Seeker + Sage Facebook Group for details.

S1 EP150 Back to Breath| Fierce Calm #yogasavedmylife Feat. Richie Bostock Jan 20, 2021

Show notes

Richie Bostock has popped in and out of my world for a little over a year now. My friends over at Fierce Calm @fiercecalm mentioned that we HAD to sync up and I am so happy we did. As one does, we got him to come on the podcast to chat with us about his wellness path. He brings breath work practice into the day to day similarly to how I bring yoga into the day to day. It's always interesting for me to hear what tools have been successful in helping others to achieve balance, grounding, and self-care. Yoga has many ways of doing this, but Richie has taken what he's learned and gave this practice an approach of his own. I got to experience it myself firsthand, and it's pretty freaking amazing! Stick around for the end of the show, where he guides us into an awesome breathing session.

S1 EP52 | Yogi Misfit Sessions | Feat. Michelle Bouvier Oct 03, 2018

Show notes

For session 52 I had the pleasure of nerding out with Michelle Bouvier. Michelle is a yogi and movement educator based in San Francisco who uses bio-mechanically intelligent embodiment practices to eradicate linear forms of thinking and moving. We discuss the growth of movement sciences and how it compares to classic yoga alignments. Plus, we go deep into a yoga nerd out, with conversation varying from how colonization took ecstatic expression in yoga underground to the geometry of joint surfaces.

It was great talking to someone who uses their yoga practice to constantly explore and is willing to break out of the normal way of doing things to try something different. Hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it.

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