105 Yoga Therapy Found Her Voice
Do you know what yoga therapy is or how it works? Over the next few episodes, I will be sharing with you some of my clients stories and their greatest successes. It’s a misnomer that Yoga has to take an hour of your life every day to feel better. Small bits and pieces throughout the day, or just…

104: Releasing Tension with Long Exhales
Learn to release tension with the pranayama practice of long exhales. Didn’t it feel like we were all holding our breath, living in tension, until the inauguration? Warnings of danger and violence will grab our “lizard brain” and cause us to do what we normally wouldn’t, like hold our breath.…

I think we’ve all acknowledged that 2020 hit us like a mack truck in every chakra. So now we can make our new year's resolutions and get back on track at being better and setting goals! Right?! Well...I’m gonna say, not so fast. I believe there is a way to stay open to possibilities, yet lay the...

101: A 2020 Retrospective Through the Lens of the Chakras
We are right now in that in-between space. The gifts have been purchased, wrapped, given, and opened. The wrapping paper (mostly) thrown away. The leftovers are eaten and the waistline has grown.

98: My 7 Favorite Moves to Balance Your Chakras
Today we get right to the work of energizing and grounding each chakra with a quick-reset of movement and breath. Over my last 15+ years of teaching, the number one question I get from students is, “When are you going to teach the chakra series again?” Well my friends, I certainly won’t let this...

97: Who are all those voices in your head?
I came across this one line from the book Big Change, Small Groups, by Heather Zempel, and it cut into my heart immediately: "Everybody needs someone who knows their name and knows what's happening in their life." I think for many of us, this is what we remember at Thanksgiving and other seasonal...

91: Rituals for Release on this Halloween Full Moon
Halloween is coming this week, and I’ve been thinking about things that haunt. Not spirits, in this case, but haunts from the past. Old experiences, relationships, and patterns that appear from time to time to hijack our present happiness. Sometimes we know exactly what they are, but quite often…

90: The 3 Most Important Cues for Yoga Asana
I love good alignment cues. I love finding tiny little adjustments to a posture that have big benefits and “aha moments.” I love it when one principle applies to a broad range of postures and their accessibility. So today I’m going to share with you the three yoga asana cues that I believe are…

Yoga to Boost Your Immune System
Right now I am ESPECIALLY glad to have the practice of yoga in my life. There is now a large body of scientific evidence stacked in favor of yoga's claims of boosting the immune system, which is very empowering at a time like this. In this week's podcast, I take the class through some pranayama...

79: Just...wait
How much do you love waiting? I don’t mean the fun, anticipatory waiting like for the start of a movie--I mean the finger-drumming, “when’s it going to be time??” waiting. I’ll admit, I’m not a fan. But I’m getting better at it. In this week’s podcast, I tell a funny story about waiting as a…

78: Chaos
Chaos happens. The practice is to maintain Yoga, or remain yoked to what is eternal, so we don’t get jerked around by the temporal chaos that life can sometimes be or feel like. The messes of life don’t go away, but they have less of an effect on us when we keep proper perspective and give the...

BONUS EPISODE: "Delight is a butterfly..."
What is your relationship to "delight?" Is it something that was available only in childhood? Has "adulting" robbed you of seeing the sweetness in life more often than the fear? Delight is an absolutely necessary component for a balanced and happy life. It's so close to our foundation, it's in…

77: Do Less
In this week's podcast episode, I talk about how LESS can be more. Less intake, less output, less effort, or less distraction might actually create space for MORE of what is life-giving and nourishing to you, body, mind, and spirit. Things like scarcity-mindset, anxiety, worry and need to…

76: "Yes" is the new "No"
This episode is all about saying “YES.” “YES!” to the things you DO want, the direction you DO want to go, the people you DO want to surround yourself with. Focusing positively on the choices you do want allows a greater sense of freedom and abundance. All those “yeses” come together to pour the...

72: Just This
This is my last podcast episode of the year. It's an unpublished class chat from back in May, and I think it's a good theme to close with: Just This. In it, I read to you a portion of Richard Rohr's book on leading a life of contemplation and contentment. Wouldn't that be a great intention for...

71: Perfect Vision with Sat Nam
As we head into the year 2020 I want to prepare the way by identifying with what is true and clear. What helps us have perfect vision: the light that is within us. Without this light our vision is clouded by wrong identification. This means we begin to identify more with the external than the...

The "Thank You" Breath
The "Thank You" Breath is three things for us: Shortcut to the present moment. Short circuit to negative thinking. Step towards faith. Gratitude routs out anxiety that comes from thinking you have control over things you have no control over. Read more at www.jessgyoga.com/blog

65: Sticking with Uncertainty
In this episode, I read again from Pema Chodron's book, Comfortable with Uncertainty. The first line of of the fourth teaching is, "The central question of a warrior's training is not how we avoid uncertainty and fear, but how we relate to discomfort." Kaivalyam is a term used in the householder...

64: Comfortable With Uncertainty, Part 2
In the reading I do in this week's podcast, we come across Pema Chodron's words and her use of the cocoon metaphor in a way I have never encountered. She describes the cocoon as the life we create around ourselves that is safe, predictable, convenient, and trustworthy. This is not freedom. This…

63: Comfortable with Uncertainty, Part 1
Who among us does not have a desire for CONTROL.? Not having control over parts of our lives is SCARY!! We might want to hide until the hard stuff passes. We might avoid uncomfortable situations and conversations because we don't know how they will turn out. This last year in my life has been…

58. Asteya: Generosity
Asteya is usually translated as non-stealing. But I know that most of you aren't shoplifters or bank robbers, so we have to look deeper ;) What if that book you keep on your shelf but will never read again steals the opportunity for someone else to read it? Isn't accepting accolades or credit for...

57. Aparigraha: Abundance
Aparigraha reminds us of the ABUNDANCE of life. It is the clinging that shows we forgot. As Nischala Joy Devi puts it in The Secret Power of Yoga, "Life's ebb and flow brings things into our life and then out again. Even the slightest hesitation of holding impedes the flow...If you believe that...
