204 - You Are The One You've Been Waiting For Jun 16, 2023

Show notes

Giving yourself permission to be more you isn’t a one-and-done process. Showing up fully is a forever journey. When I started sharing my life online, the way I showed up looked so different than how I show up now. Little by little, I became braver and now I get to be as big as I want to be. Friends, the same is true for you. When you start to own who you are, you get to be all the things you dream of being, and it gives everyone around you permission to do the same. You don’t have to wait for someone to tell you to begin. You are the one you’ve been waiting for, all along.

203 - There's Enough Room for All of Us with CJ Yeagley Jun 08, 2023

Show notes

There is no “right” way to be a yoga teacher. But so often, we get caught up in ego and competition, trying to be the “best” or judging others for showing up in a way that’s different than how you might teach… the truth is, there’s enough room for all of us. If you show up in your own joy and with intent to truly serve your students, you’ll always find success. People gravitate towards authenticity, and as long as you show up in a way that is joyful and truthful to you, the people that need your voice will always find you. There is so much we learn about ourselves when we become yoga teachers. Let’s get out of competition mindset, and lift each other up. That’s the way we make real change.

202 - A Case For Repeating the Same Class All Week Jun 01, 2023

Show notes

This is for the teachers out there. I’ve had so many conversations about repetition recently, both from week to week and within a single class itself. Maybe you’re feeling some kind of pressure to put out a brand new flow every single week, but I’d like to make a case for doing the same things. But even if you hear the same things over and over again, you can always learn something new, gain a new understanding, or relate in a new way. We need repetition. Why not try it?

201 - Presence is Pleasure May 24, 2023

Show notes

I did something new yesterday. I took a hip hop dance class. Doing something new and awkward and sometimes uncomfortable like taking a hip hop class was never something I felt I had the courage for before yoga. There is something that yoga has given me—or more accurately, that I have given myself through the process of self-discovery that yoga has put me on—that allows me to take up space, to play in something new, and to find pleasure in being present. In order to connect with the body and move freely, we must be present and there is immeasurable joy in that. I hope you know that your joy is worth it, and that you find the things that help you to be present within yourself. I hope you find the freedom to move in some new way today, and to find the pleasure in it all.

200 - We Are Stronger in Community with Aaliyah Earvin May 18, 2023

Show notes

Sometimes being a leader means learning when to listen. In leadership roles, often we feel like we have to do it all alone, without the advice or help of the people around us but in truth, we are stronger in community. We are stronger together. We miss out on opportunities to grown when we keep things to ourselves or refuse to ask for help. Our communities lift us up, and create space and strength for each other as we go through the different seasons in life and make decisions to do things differently. Aaliyah Earvin is leading in her community. She is making change by having the courage to show up and try new things, and to lean on the incredible community she has created.

199 - Combining Yoga and Strength Training May 11, 2023

Show notes

I’m so excited about what I’m about to share with you because I’ve created something I’ve never seen before and I know you’re going to love it, too. I came to yoga from a weight-lifting background and have always loved the element of strength needed in flow. So, I created Yoga Strong—not this podcast, but a 3 month program where we will be combining yoga and strength. You don’t need to super into yoga to do this, and you don’t need to be super into strength-training either. This is something that isn’t supposed to be easy, and that’s okay. It’s okay to be a beginner at something. Being a beginner should be celebrated, and I’m honored to be able to step in to that place with you. Let’s keep doing the hard stuff together, because the hard stuff never gets any easier unless you just show up and give yourself permission to do it.

The Yoga Strong Strength Training program is open this upcoming Monday, May 15th. I hope to see you there.

198 - The Inaugural Flow School IRL May 04, 2023

Show notes

Last week was the first ever IRL Flow School. Many years ago now I decided to start sharing my life online, and now I have the immense joy and pleasure to connect with all of you in person. There is real magic in showing up to listen and learn and do something new together, and IRL Flow School is something I am absolutely stoked to do again. We do not grow alone, and how lucky are we when we get the opportunity to grow together?

197 - The Work It Takes To Be Excellent Apr 20, 2023

Show notes

There is a time for rest in life, but there is also a time to work hard, and to really hustle. As a child I played basketball, and in that sport I always too pride in being the first one down the court—always ready to shoot. I want to be the first one down the court now. If you really want something (and I really want something) there is work involved. I’m ready to work, to put in the effort it takes to make something grow, and I’m not afraid to own it. If you’re in that season of hard work and growth too, let’s all rush forwards together and be the first down the court, together. We don’t grow alone.

196 - The Infinite Game of Being Human Apr 07, 2023

Show notes

What are you paying attention to? Is it the infinite process of coming to know yourself? Is it the way you might be feeling shame? It’s so easy to take shame on in this life, the feeling of doing “this” wrong, of not belonging. When we feel shame, we feel small. We lose the essence of self and how we express ourselves in this world. We get to be the truest version of ourselves when we show up in bravery and curiosity, but curiosity and shame cannot coexist. So what might it feel like if we set shame down, if only for a moment, and share our feelings with each other, or with ourselves? There is no end to this game of being a human, so let’s put shame aside. Let’s be open and honest and curious. This infinite game we all get to play? It’s beautiful.

195 - How to Leave a Thing Mar 30, 2023

Show notes

How do you leave a thing in a generous way? These four mindset intentions help me navigate the times I say "no" to make more room for a "yes" while still honoring the way the thing changed me.
Having just left a studio that I've taught at for a year and a half, a change that felt hard but right, I lean into abundance, gratitude, listening and ceremony (could also be called celebration) to find a well of peace as I move forward. This is not the podcast about figuring out timing or money, this is about how we talk to ourselves and move bravely forward with grace.
