We also talk about the evolution of yoga education in the decade plus that we have both been teaching yoga. I LOVE the discussion we have about dharma. More about our guest: Lara Falberg has been teaching yoga since 2006. Early on, she figured out she never wanted to teach the same class twice. A lover of vocabulary and how words are strung together sent her on a quest to acquire interesting, effective ways to instruct others on how to move and breath. After hearing just about every new teacher express anxiety over figuring out cues, sequencing, and how to effectively weave a theme into yoga classes, http://iworkbarefoot.com/, a yoga teaching resource website, was born. Lara works with the teacher training program at Yoga on High in Columbus, Ohio. She wrote a novel, Yoga Train, about a group of lovable, fucked up people who go through a yoga teacher training program together. Check it on Amazon for Kindle. Lara loves to share. You can eat off her plate if you want to. Reach out to her at lara@iworkbarefoot.com if you wanna. Read more in the show-notes. Connect via email and social media. xo

Questions for reflection: What challenged me? What inspired me? What did I eat? How did I sleep? What was my movement practice like? What was happening in the world and in the sky? Into the present: Where am I now? What’s my overall state? Finally, into the next season: What am I being pulled toward? What would I like more of? What am I curious about? What is most important to me right now? How do I want to feel? Thank you for being here. LOVE, kelly www.sunroseyoga.com/ sunroseyoga@gmail.com Join us on retreat! www.followyourrise.com/

    Hi Gorgeous, SO happy you are here.  & So happy to be back with another 5-Pose Practice! Oftentimes, what keeps me (& students, from what I hear) from the mat is the belief that in order for the practice to be real/ worth it/ enough, it must be a 90-minute sweat-fest. Not so, in my own very real experience. The truth is, one pose, one quality breath, one well-intentioned word is enough to feed your practice. Your practice does not need to be long or complicated, you just have to do it. The 5-pose practice offers an opportunity to enjoy a complete movement (asana) practice in about 20-30 minutes. If you do not have time to do all five postures at once, split them up throughout the day. If you have a little more time, see where these five shapes lead you. Practice the poses, listen to the feedback your body gives you and proceed accordingly. This is the practice: learning how to listen, listening and acting from that place. I am so happy you are here. Thank you. NEWS// FALL RETREAT in Sedona, Arizona. October 13-16. Learn more here. FALL IMMERSION online. Topic: Yoga Sutras. September 21-November 23. Learn more here. Be in touch.

    We reached the milestone of 200 episodes of this podcast smack in the middle of a series and smack in the middle of what feels like eternal international upheaval. I want to mark both of these vastly different moments in time with one theme: Inhabiting truth; Embodying your word; What you do matters. In today's podcast, I'm sharing a few thoughts on using our voices as yogis, a few recommendations for reading and a piece I shared awhile back called "I am this way on purpose." It is a teaching manifesto, but also an invitation for you to fully step into this practice, this life and to make it your sincere offering. Thanks for listening, always.
