185: Wrapping Up Season 7 (Season 7, Episode 26)
This podcast is taking a break for the summer! Before we do, I have a check-in and update on my process with this podcast. I also share some resources, including a Best Of list if you want to listen back through some old podcast episodes! Links for you : Podcast Survey : Want to join Curvy Yoga...

184: Listener Survey & Guided Meditation (Season 7, Episode 25)
In today's episode, I have two things for you: (1) A listener survey that I would SO love you to complete as it's going to help me shape the vision for our next season, and (2) A guided meditation! The meditation is about connecting with your inner compass and noticing how you feel it in your...

183: What Yoga Teaches Us About Uncertainty (Season 7, Episode 24)
I think it’s fair to say that I’m not the biggest fan of uncertainty. I mean, is anyone? In this time when uncertainty is more apparent than usual, I’m digging into what yoga teaches us about it — and how you can draw on the tools I bet are already in your toolbox to support you. Links for you :...

182: When Your Mind & Body Tell You Different Things (Season 7, Episode 23)
I was talking with one of our teachers lately, asking her how she was. She said, "My mind tells me I'm not that stressed, but my body says otherwise." Um, hi -- can you relate? I definitely can! So in this week's episode we dig into why this happens and how we might invite in more alignment.…

181: Where are You in the Dance? (Season 7, Episode 22)
In today's episode we explore Yoga Sutra 2.46: "The pose should be steady and sweet." We dig into what this looks like both on and off the yoga mat, including how to find yourself in the flow of it. Links for you : Daily practice recommendations in the Studio : Not a member of Curvy Yoga Studio...
-
180: What's Right Here? (Season 7, Episode 21)
What's right here? What's actually right here? In today's episode we dig into this and how it's showing up both in these challenging times and on our yoga mats. Links for you : Anne Cushman's book Moving into Meditation : Daily practice recommendations in the Studio : Not a member of Curvy Yoga...
-
179: Don't Know Mind (Season 7, Episode 20)
In this time of great uncertainty and our minds trying to grasp onto something, anything solid (or maybe that's just me?), I talk about something that has helped me lately: Don't Know Mind. Links for you : Courtney Martin email : Daily practice recommendations in the Studio : Not a member of…

178: Connection not Perfection (Season 7, Episode 19)
I find myself reaching for some perfect way of doing the pandemic when that is obviously absurd on its face. So in today's episode, inspired by a couple wise yoga teachers and friends, we talk about what it looks like to reorient toward connection not perfection -- both on and off the yoga mat....
-
177: What I Thought I Knew About Presence
If you'd asked me pre-pandemic what I thought I knew about presence, I'm not sure what I would have said. In some ways, that feels like a lifetime ago. But I definitely wouldn't have described it like I would now (and who knows how I will in the future!). In this episode, I dig into that in order...

176: How's Your Relationship with Your Body Going? (Season 7, Episode 17)
My own relationship with my body is probably best represented by a shrug emoji right now. How about you? In today’s episode I wanted to check in with you about this. I do that by discussing two recent questions that listeners sent in and asked me to talk more about: 1. Many times I talk myself…

175: My Bandwidth is in the Dumpster. How about You? (Season 7, Episode 16)
I’ve noticed recently that my own bandwidth is greatly diminished. I started out social distancing with a positive attitude and a lot of energy. We are doing quite a bit as a family right now, and I was keeping it all up, as well as work and everyday life. I told my therapist that things were…

174: Guided Meditation: May I Give Myself a Moment to Be (Season 7, Episode 15)
When I asked on Instagram recently what our listeners would like to hear this week, the majority chose a guided meditation. So that's what you've got! The guided meditation portion is about 12 minutes long, and you can do it from anywhere you like. It's all about giving yourself a moment to be --...
-
173: Practice Ideas for Challenging Times (Season 7, Episode 14)
When I was thinking about what to talk about today, it dawned on me that one really important thing to be considering during these uncertain times is how to adapt your practice based on how you’re feeling, knowing that it’s likely to be pretty different from day to day. Of course, this is always...

172: Yoga, Ayurveda, and Seasonal Living & Practice (Season 7, Episode 13)
This month brings seasonal change no matter what hemisphere you live in. So to prepare, in this conversation I’m talking about what Yoga and Ayurveda have to teach us. This is a great episode if you’ve been curious to learn more about different ways Yoga can expand off the mat to meet us in our...

171: What Themes Show Up When You Show Yourself Kindness? (Season 7, Episode 12)
This month we've been seeing what it's like to practice 29 days of kindness toward ourselves. In this episode, I share some of the things that came up for me personally, the themes that emerged, and the power of looking for your own themes to discover what they have to teach you. Links for you :...
-
170: How to Remember What's True (Season 7, Episode 11)
In our last episode we talked about trusting your own experience, so in this one we’re taking the conversation into how to remember what’s true for you. This one takes us into my sheroes from my favorite books when I was a kid, yogic concepts of satya and svadhyaya and much more. I also answer a...

169: The Kindest Thing You Can Do for Yourself (Season 7, Episode 10)
As we’ve been exploring treating ourselves with kindness this month, I’ve been thinking about what I think the kindest thing you can do for yourself is. Here are some hints at what it’s not (though these are close!): taking a nap, petting a cute animal, looking at videos of cute animals online…

168: The List (Season 7, Episode 9)
I recently noticed myself making a list in my head . . . of everything that’s wrong with me. Super charming, I know. Because I caught The List midway, I saw how absurd it was . . . and decided to keep going just to highlight the ridiculousness of these thoughts to myself. Because, really — have…

167: The Second Arrow (Season 7, Episode 8)
Tell me if this sounds familiar: you plan to do your yoga practice after work one day, but then your neighbor stops by, you need to answer an unexpected email, and then all of the sudden the night gets away from you and you don't have time to do what you'd thought. This is a totally normal…

166: Getting in Your Feelings (Season 7, Episode 7)
"What makes me feel something?" This question from Andy J. Miller in Lisa Congdon's book Find Your Artistic Voice sent me on a journey recently. Being and remaining open to my feelings has always been a challenge for me. So in this episode I'm opening up about what has helped me feel more and how...
-
165: How to Stay Connected to Your Practice (Season 7, Episode 6)
One of the biggest questions I get from people is how to establish and maintain a regular yoga practice. And I understand why! This is a challenge for pretty much everyone, myself included. So in today's episode I'm digging into things that have helped me stay connected to my practice in the…

164: The Chunky Thigh Episode (Season 7, Episode 5)
Okay, today I’m talking about something that has really been in my face lately: at the grocery store, in the doctor’s office, and more. Are you ready? It’s how obsessed people are with chunky thighs, big bellies, and other forms of round cuteness. Not on me, of course. But on my baby. Obviously…

163: My 2020 Word of the Year (Season 7, Episode 4)
It’s that time of year again — time for the Word of the Year! If you’re not familiar with this practice, it’s a little bit but not exactly like choosing an intention for the year. I think about it as something I’m interested in being in relationship with throughout the upcoming year. In this...
-
162: How to Get Off the Yoga Practice Hamster Wheel (Season 7, Episode 3)
As we turn the corner to a new year, I really wanted to have an important conversation: how to get off the yoga practice hamster wheel and create a practice that actually works for you. This matters to me SO much because I very regularly have conversations with people who think they're doing it...

161: Ten Things I Learned in the Past Decade (Season 7, Episode 2)
It didn't really dawn on me that the end of the decade is near until I heard someone mention it a month or so ago. At first I didn't think much about it. But then as some time passed, I started reflecting on everything that has unfolded in the last ten years. And whoa -- it's so much! Isn't that...

160: Ask Me Anything (Season 7, Episode 1)
We’re back with Season Seven! This season it’s going to be me — and you. Liz is moving onto bigger and better things (hi and thanks, Liz!), so as we dive in here together, I would love for you to be more involved! To kick us off with that, I have an invitation and a giveaway for you. Stay tuned...
