S1 EP146 | Fierce Calm #yogasavedmylife | Feat. Melanie McKinney Dec 09, 2020

Show notes

This episode features one of my favorite collaborations. We partner with Fierce Calm who is a non-profit organization, sharing community yoga saved my life stories, and supporting charities which make yoga accessible to all. Melanie is an ambassador for Fierce Calm and shares her #yogasavedmylife story during this episode. Melanie started teaching yoga in Afghanistan to military service members and civilians. She then got certified in Thailand, while there she was eating clean, and unknowingly at the same time she also had cancer. So, four months after she received her yoga certification, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Yoga tools such as breath work, meditation, movement, are tools that she used to get through one of the toughest times of her life. Listen to her story now!

S1 EP107 | Beginners Yoga | Feat. Mary Ochsner Feb 12, 2020

Show notes

I am so honored to have my new friend Mary Ochsner on the show!

Mary and I met through the guys that helped to create our apps and then connected through Instagram! We then met IRL when she visited San Francisco! We became friends and enjoy talking about all things yoga. What really sparked my interest about Mary was that she creates the awesome tutorials for all yogis. She makes yoga really accessible to beginners and is really passionate about getting people on their mat. She reassures all of her students that it is okay to be in their bodies exactly as they are. It’s an honor and pleasure to have her on the show.

S1 EP104 | Where is Yoga Going? | Feat. Jason Crandell Jan 22, 2020

Show notes

I am so excited to share this discussion with my teacher Jason Crandell. He is a HUGE inspiration to me and my yoga journey. In our talk we discuss where yoga has been and where it's going. Jason shares about his past experience of yoga in the 80s and how it's growing. He shares that he doesn't want to get too hung up on how things are changing because change is inevitable.

Rocky is back and we reflect on this past year and how we have grown. We conclude that we have no f*cks to give. We are who we are. We talk about boundaries, learning lessons, and not worrying about what others think of us.

SS2 | Intuitive Meditation | Alison Potts Jul 25, 2019

Show notes

Summer Series with Shut Up and Yoga

Tribe, Summer Series with Shut Up and Yoga is here and this week Allison Pots joins to talk about meditation.

Allison drops in today to talk about meditation, and how our life around us or the practice is actually just a piece of it. When we come into the mind, the body is also affected by it, in a positive manner. Allison, a writer for Shut Up and Yoga is also a meditation and wellness coach. Enjoy listening to share some amazing tips as well as:

How the distractions that arise in a meditation practice are there to help. She dives into how to let the thoughts be part of the natural process in meditation. From creating lists, or thinking about going to the grocery store; these thoughts help nourish the mind into a meditative state.
The joys of meditation are enjoyed while we are awake, there is also this experience when we are asleep. Tapping into a deeper connection within the parasympathetic nervous system, the rest and digest system, through intuitive meditation. Allowing the conscious thoughts to be part of the organic process.

Don’t forget you can join me in Todos Santos, Mexico for a New Years Retreat.

Thank you to Shut Up and Yoga and all the wonderful guests.
