Yoga Strong — Education
Yoga Strong

To be “Yoga Strong” is to pay attention to not only your body, but how you navigate being human. While combining strength and grace creates a powerful flow-based yoga practice, it is the practice of paying attention in the same ways off-the-mat that can be equally impactful.

This podcast is a guide for yoga teachers, practitioners and people trying to craft a life they’re proud AF about. This is about owning your voice. This is about curiosity, bravery, sensuality, and building a home in yourself.

Show notes

I'm in the process of a spiritual homecoming and it's got me reflecting a lot--on self-awareness, change and personal growth, and creating space for the kind of honesty and self-care that supports it all. i'm reminded of how we are here to be awake to our lives and, if we want to be leaders and caretakers, we have to give to ourselves so we can give to others.

262 - Embracing Change: A New Year Reflection Jan 02, 2025

Show notes

Today I share my reflections on the past year, a big death and rebirth year for me. And I look ahead to 2025 that I've named my year of play.
This past year has taught me a lot about love, transformation, and the importance of authenticity. About the sacrifices necessary for growth, the discomfort of being new, and the transformative power of grief. And the joy that can be found in new beginnings, community, and creativity.
I'm so excited for this year and the bigness of the energy I feel coming into it. It's gonna be so good.

261 - The Play Experiment w/Grey Tanner Dec 19, 2024

Show notes

I've named 2025 as my Year of Play and I'm inviting y'all to join me!
I'm so excited to share today about The Play Experiment, a month-long experience that's all about building a life where play is part of the everyday. I'm joined by my friend and collaborator, Grey Tanner--a soul and somatic embodiment artist, teacher, and mentor (and queen of play!)--who I've invited to co-host with me.
Today we share about how play has come to be a vital aspect of our lives, supporting our creativity, relationships, businesses, and whole-ass selves. We explore some of what play means for us, how that's expanded and evolved through time and practice, some of the ways ways cultural conditioning and our personal stories impact our ability to play, and how so much of our play has been about giving ourselves permission.
We explore how play can be integrated into adult life, help us to discover and embody our authenticity and purpose, and how The Play Experiment is an invitation for all of it.

259 - Authenticity on Social Media Dec 05, 2024

Show notes

How we we cultivate authenticity? And why do we need it on social media?
Some of the ways I've learned we do it: by facing fears, claiming our voices, playing, and experimenting. And to do a lot of that, we have to give ourselves permission.
For me, authenticity is about being more of you, not imitating others. And when a lot in the world encourages us to be like others, to fit in boxes, we often have to be the ones to allow ourselves room to do something different or to expand.
Social media can be a powerful tool for exploring authentic self-expression. It's a stage where you can share your unique story--and create connection and community. And we need both to thrive--individually, collectively, and in business.

257 - Finding Your Flow: The Art of Alignment Nov 14, 2024

Show notes

Alignment--whether in yoga or in life--is not about straight lines, or a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead it's about finding the balance between structure and flow and exploring how each individual's experience and body shape their practice (and their life).
In today's conversation, I delve into the significance of clear cues in teaching, the necessity of foundational knowledge, and the beauty of transitions in flow. I also talk about the teacher-student dynamic, the role of creativity in teaching, and discovering what lights you up.

Show notes

Today I'm sharing about a couple big experiences--my first time traveling overseas, and to teach Flow School in Switzerland!--and how those weave with a larger conversation about imposter syndrome, and what it means to grow as a teacher and human.
I also explore the the significance of trust in teaching, how we cultivate inclusivity, balancing planning and play, and why creative sequencing and self-ownership matter in our leadership.
