S1 EP160 | You Deserve Rest | Feat. Tracee Stanley Apr 07, 2021

Show notes

How many times have you heard yourself saying “HARD WORK.” Rather let me rephrase that, how many times have you heard me say, “I AM WORKING HARD''. I never once stopped to bother and think, “Why can’t the work be work but not hard all the time?”. Like why is it I have to create even its tone that it’s difficult? Tracee Stanley blew my mind when she brought me to the realization that it doesn’t always have to be hard. That we, in fact, deserve to rest.

How many times did I have to burn out to realize this? (3… 3 is the correct answer in case you were curious...lol) This week on the podcast, I am thrilled to have Tracce back on the show. We met a few years back on the festival circuit. I had heard so much about her but never had the opportunity to practice with her; in fact, I had never even done a nidra before. But when I did, WOW. Just wow. In this episode, we talk about her new book Radiant Rest. It has been such a treat to see her put all her magic into this book. I have already taken a deep dive into it, and I love it so much we’re using it for the next book club in May, so be sure to grab your copy. I know her magic will do wonders for us all. Listen and enjoy.

S1 EP120 | Dharma Dudes Live | Feat. Rocky Heron May 13, 2020

Show notes

This episode of Dharma Dudes was recorded LIVE in front of you guys! Who attended?!

We discuss how we have adapted our energy and offerings to accommodate that state of the world living in our hardcore “Shelter In Place” . We chat about how we take care of our body and minds. One thing Rocky and I both discovered is the importance of pausing and how we use restorative yoga to heal and condition our bodies and balance our minds and energies. I hope you enjoy this weeks journey! We had so much fun bringing it to life for you! Stay nourished and grounded friends!

S1 EP113 | Light Hygiene | Feat. Andy Mant Mar 25, 2020

Show notes

Have you been in front of your phone or computer more this past week? I know I have. During this time in our lives, for some, it’s the only way for us to connect. On today’s show I interview Andy Mant, the founder of BLUblox blue light blocking glasses. He talks about this concept called “light hygiene” and it’s super interesting. This episode offers a new perspective on how to optimize your health and life as a yogi. Andy is super smart and dialed in to the most current information on blue light and how it’s affecting our circadian rhythm which, when out of balance, can make us tired and forgetful. I learned so much on this podcast and I can’t wait for you to learn too.

S1 EP84 | Fierce Calm #yogasavedmylife | Feat. Gianna Purcell Aug 15, 2019

Show notes

Welcome to another collaboration episode with Fierce Calm. This week Gianna stops by to share her story of finding yoga.

Hearing stories like Gianna, is one of the reasons why I love doing this podcast. Creating space for others to come and share their incredible stories. Like Gianna's story, Nicole and Robyn also stop by to share their stories of how #yogasavedmylife. Check out what Gianna is sharing today:

Coming to yoga from working in a salon, Gianna shares her how she started to discover her personal self during the beginning of her asana practice. The stories from her personal life and self-discovery are something a lot of us can relate and connect to. But also how yoga had given her an open space to experience more life.

As Gianna puts in her own words, pain is pain, it registers different for everyone and it becomes the focus at the current time. Using her practice of asana as a way of recovery from a motorcycle accident and helping others discover that recovery through asana is possible.

S1 EP83 | Henry Winslow | Online Content Aug 07, 2019

Show notes

Online Content with Henry Winslow

Welcome back Tribe, this week I'm joined by Henry Winslow. Sharing his stories on creating online content full of classes and podcasts.

Henry joins today to talk about creating online content. Something we see every day, from Instagram posts to full-length classes and taking the step further to start to create our own. It was such a pleasure to have him on today and talk about using technology as a way to share the message of yoga.

Henry shares his stories of creating online content outside his own media platform and what the future holds in creating his own library of yoga classes. Sharing the variability of putting yourself out there, what it’s like to work with different media platforms but also the experiences that surround it.
We also talk about the accessibility of online content for students and teachers alike. Online content can be a powerful tool when we can’t always make it to a studio and want to still connect on the mat. Sharing the beauty of yoga through technology that we use every day. We also talk about how to get started in sharing the content, from marketing and even the simple ways to create the content.

Enjoy this weeks episode.

S1 EP82 | Teaching Teachers | Feat. Noah Maze Aug 01, 2019

Show notes

Tribe, I am so excited to have my teacher Noah Maze on today, sharing his stories, what mentorship is like and the natural progress of seeking more knowledge.

Noah and I dive into what it's like teaching teachers, but also the natural progression in learning that happens within us as we start to deepen our quest for knowledge. Noah also shares:

What the Maze Method is, and how it was developed from his 20 years of practicing and teaching yoga practices. There's a dynamic transformation that happens when people come together to learn to teach yoga. Whether they come to a teacher training to deepen their practice or come to want to learn how to teach.
What it means to learn how to learn and the process of meeting someone where they are in their learning needs. Noah shares the value in variability when we step out of the comfort zone and enter the world of teaching and learning. But also finding the gaps in the knowledge and using that to help find our unique strengths.

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

S1 EP74 | Fierce Calm – #yogasavedmylife | feat. Mariel Witmond May 08, 2019

Show notes

Tribe, I'm honored to present to you the collaboration between the Yogi Misfit Sessions and Fierce Calm. Each month, we'll bring you a compelling story about how yoga has saved a life, with bonus mini stories on yoga's ability to heal and transform.

For today's episode I had the pleasure of sharing Mariel Whitmond's journey. A yoga teacher that has an inspiring and empowering story on how she found value in herself rather than looking for it in others.

Battling health complications, self-worth, and self-acceptance, she decided to stop living her life for other people. Changing her high-stress job in the fashion industry, focusing on her health. She took her teacher training just after two years of the journey of self-discovery. Capturing the value of human connection, and sharing her compassion for it. From a place of feeling lonely to finding how to empower others to feel that they are not.

Stay tuned to hear more stories from Blair Sanning and Cara Forrester.

S1 EP71 | The Art of Chanting | feat. Janet Stone Apr 17, 2019

Show notes

I'm honored to have Janet Stone, AKA Mama Stone, on the show this week. She's the one who helped to demystify chanting when before I used to be afraid of it and make fun of it. We sit down and chat about how motherhood and raising her daughters have influenced her yoga practice and her teaching, as well as how chanting is a gateway to opening within. We also talk about bhakti, the yoga of devotion, and how it calls for all of us to acknowledge all of our emotions, instead of suppressing them.

Chanting in Sanskrit has a special vibrational quality with none of its previous associations you might have attached. Despite chanting to various deities, or calling forth for a certain energy, it is an invocation to draw inward and start over again, and again, and again--and it doesn't matter if you are a singer or not. Next time you chant, see the emotional and physical changes that may arise.

Tune in, and let's sing together!

S1 EP59 | Yogi Misfit Sessions: Heather Titus Dec 19, 2018

Show notes

On today's show I have Heather Titus, the creator of the Sedona Yoga Festival. I had the privilege of presenting at the festival last year, and not only was it a great experience but the community was absolutely insane. I was completely blown away at how Heather and her husband Mark had created this awesome community of teachers and people who turn up every year.

The festival is so awesome and I really couldn't recommend it enough. Plus, if you haven't been to Sedona yet that needs to change. It's such a beautiful landscape that looks like its from a different galaxy.
