Do twists detoxify? Is it safer to jump back to Chaturanga than Plank? In all likelihood you've heard -- or even taught? -- one of the yoga myths you'll hear on this episode. This is a judgement-free zone and not about shaming or guilting anyone! But it's important to unpack some of the idiosyncratic beliefs that get repeated in Yogaland and explore why it's time to let them go.
PS: Is there a yoga myth that we missed? Post it on Instagram and tag @andreaferretti so we can see it!

This week I'm sharing a topic that's dear to my heart, which is creating a meditation practice that you love. We all face common (often self-imposed) meditation obstacles, from telling ourselves we just "can't do it right," to feeling like we don't have time to stressing ourselves out with an austere approach that feels like drudgery. The truth is that meditation can be a very natural -- even pleasurable -- part of each day that helps you develop the skills and training to navigate life with less suffering and more joy. This episode will help set you up for meditation success!

What is the vagus nerve? More importantly, why should we, as yogis, care? Jill Miller comes on the podcast this week to help us understand how we can tap into the vagus and stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, bringing about the relaxation response. Jill shares her recipe -- "the 5 Ps,"-- for stimulating the vagus so that you can incorporate them into your own practice and teaching.
