Living With an Open Heart | Episode 215

In this episode, we reflect on the aftermath of the Muskoka Yoga Retreat this past weekend and what happens when we come together in person and allow ourselves to be fully present—to practice, to grief, to vulnerability, and to one another. We explore moving beyond the conditioning of the mind, meeting our inner critic with kindness, and cultivating the courage to live with an open and reverent heart. Topics discussed: The afterglow of the Muskoka Yoga Retreat and what remains with us after sharing practice and presence in person How mantra can take us beyond the mind and its conditioning Meeting our inner critic and habitual patterns with kindness rather than judgment Deep transformation, vulnerability, and even the humble practice of push-ups along the way  Grief as a communal experience, and how allowing ourselves to be vulnerable can bring us closer to one another Living with reverence for life and keeping the heart open enough to experience it fully Join the Happy Jack Yoga community: 📚 30 Day Free Trial  🧘‍♀️ 200-Hour Teacher Training 🎙 Be part of the podcast live on Zoom – Tuesdays 🌱 Mentorship with Happy Jack 💗 Book a yoga therapy session with Hanna
