Podcast appearances and mentions of anjali rao

This one is a personal conversation between friends.Shannon and I have a hard conversation together, and talk about how you can have conversations with friends too. This is one of my favorite conversations ever, and I can't wait for you to hear it.KEY TAKEAWAYS*There are a lot of ways to have a hard conversation. But don't take for granted the powerful act of having hard conversations with your friends. Friends are folks with whom you prioritize your connection over self-serving things. People you are friendly with, don't hold the same weight. For example: you can be friends with your cousin. But the relationship you should have with your boss is “Friendly”*Hard conversations, and social justice conversations, belong in yoga. There is a lot of discourse in our industry around this, and amazing folks like Anjali Rao have been on the podcast talking about this very thing. But consider also this: if yoga can be a process of knowing yourself and knowing others, then hard conversations are a part of that.*Consent in conversations is an absolute must. Everyone needs to be consensual for conversations to flourish–and pushing other people into conversations, or expecting everyone to respond to things that are top of your mind isn't appropriate. These conversations can be had in yoga spaces, but only when everyone is an enthusiastic yes. We all have more fun when that happens.*Change happens in the quiet. I know I have said that before, but it is worth repeating. If you want change to happen don't just show up shouting. Show up to write the permit, arrange the transport, and apply for the grant. *What is your relationship with social media? As I said, I use social media exclusively for business. I have primarily yoga conversations on quite literally all of my channels. But maybe you use social media differently. Please make sure you are conscientious about it, and don't feel pressured to perform on social if that isn't how you show up.

There is so much to dive into in regards to teacher trainings. How long do we train for? Is our system working for us? Are teacher training and deeper learning the same thing?Should I run a “social justice” focused teacher training?Anjali and I get into it all. Take a listen.KEY TAKEAWAYS*Training is a huge responsibility within the industry. And we often have challenges that we need to address when we decide to run teacher training. I have said this before on this series, but many times, people train because they are looking for qualified candidates to work at their studio. Are these ideal conditions for training? I don't know, but it certainly isn't the “my yoga studio can't make it without training” story we are often telling amongst ourselves.*I am SO glad Anjali brought this up. Training yoga teachers and deepening your knowledge of yoga are not the same thing. They should not be in the same program. We need to offer a diverse menu of yoga knowledge enhancement options in our yoga studios–not just only group classes and YTTs. I cannot say this enough times.*So Anjali said something that I want to highlight. It is this idea that a deep yoga practice is something you should “enjoy”. She is right, a lot of yoga is groundbreaking and uncomfortable. While the changes you create as a result of a deep yoga practice can be highly beneficial and enjoyable, the process is hard. And we should be saying anything different.*Hey friends. I know saying things like “social justice” is a great way for you to attract certain people to your doorstep. But there is disrespect at best, and danger at worst when we use the phrase social justice like a marketing term. People deserve better. The black, queer, and disabled communities we support deserve better. Please stop. Thank you so much.*There is no checklist that makes you a good white person in yoga. I am sorry if that is news. But the willingness to have discussions, unpack your own privilege, and as Anjali asks “what else are you doing?” is a great place to start.*This is another one of the things this series has mentioned constantly. Mentorship. If you are an experienced teacher please consider how you can mentor the next generation of yoga teachers so they can have a nurturing and supportive environment to learn the skillset of teaching yoga.RESOURCESWorking In Yoga WebsiteWorking In Yoga NewsletterAnjali's WebsiteFind Taylor CaseySPONSORMidwest Yoga Conference

As we learn in our conversation with Anjali Rao, what we learn of yoga history in our teacher trainings is often limited by the biases of heteropatriarchy, Brahmanism and colonialism. While what we get from our text books might hit many of the major points, this story is just as notable for whom it excludes. For both Jo and Rane, this conversation was a huge recontextualisation of what they thought they knew and a wonderful relearning of yoga history. Anjali Rao is a writer, the host of The Love of Yoga podcast, President of the Board of Directors of Accessible Yoga, and as she shares in our conversation is now beginning a Doctorate of Philosophy and Religion, with a concentration on Women's Spirituality, a trans disciplinary program that delves into a feminist perspective and “explores varied spiritual, ecological, and political perspectives rooted in care for the Earth, each other, and the Sacred.” Anjali is an Indian American immigrant, a cancer survivor and believes that a dedicated practice of yoga in all its expansiveness can alchemize and heal the world by creating ripples of change within and around us. She brings a multi disciplinary approach, integrating yoga philosophy and history, with storytelling, imagery and poetry. She brings an awe inspiring depth of knowledge and potent critical insight to yoga history which makes for a great conversation!

“Yoga is a microcosm of what's happening in every institution, including the judicial system, employment, medical care, all of that. So I'm just creating a small shift, hopefully, in people's perspectives and understandings of the prevalence of caste in Yoga history.” Join us for the captivating season finale of our podcast as Jivana interviews Anjali and they dive into a deep, transformative conversation. In this special episode, Anjali and Jivana discuss: Personal and Professional Changes The motivations and inspirations behind Anjali's decision to pursue her Doctorate this Fall.

How is yoga used as a tool of oppression? Pushback and rejections Anjali faced while writing this book and why this topic is crucial in today's world. Zionist backlash Jivana faced and the challenges of dealing with social media criticism.

"Asking questions is renouncing a bloated sense of one's ego, is an exercise in humility, not as an end in itself but as a springboard for authentic and skillful responses." In the last episode of 2023, Anjali shares about 5 lessons from the first chapter of the Bhagavad Gita: The power and the essentiality of an intentional pause Talk to a friend/Listen to a friend: Connection and relationships are important for collective liberation Asking questions is important for skillful action Finding the Center doesn't mean neutrality Staying engaged in the seeking of your role. The seeking is the practice She also shares a brief background of Mahabharata and the Gita, the relevance of the first chapter during these times, and an invitation for reflection from five lessons from the First chapter. "To ask questions is to be hopeful, honest and true.What can be more vulnerable than saying I don't know?What can be more trusting than saying, can you help me?What can be more loving than offering a listening ear?What can be more courageous than saying, why am I doing this?What can be more important than saying why am I not doing this?This is the last episode of The Love of Yoga podcast for 2023 in which I share some teachings from my favorite chapter, perhaps the most moving one, the first chapter of the Gita, Vishada Yoga." –– Anjali Interested in learning from Anjali Rao?

The Connected Yoga Teacher Podcast 334: Many Shades of Brown in Yoga with Anjali Rao   Description: Conversations around race and identity in yoga, especially South Asian identities and the experience of South Asians in the West, tend to be uncomfortable. However, it is still important to give voice to the South Asian experience in yoga and to also talk about how yoga has been shaped by colonialism, capitalism and the Western interpretation of yoga as well as caste, religion, and race. Anjali Rao shares her insights about her experience of being brown in modern yoga.   Anjali is a South Asian yoga educator and practitioner who explores histories obscured by patriarchal and colonial narratives. She integrates yoga history and philosophy with storytelling, imagery, and poetry.   Anjali highlights that our identity is composed of different parts, which is why it's important for discussions of this topic to be nuanced. She also emphasizes that South Asians are not a monolith and that our lived experience is influenced by our different identities. Anjali provides a summary of the history of yoga, and provides her perspective on how we can embody ahimsa, what social justice has to do with yoga, and much more.   Key Takeaways: [6:03] Shannon introduces her guest for this episode - Anjali Rao.

CardioNerds cofounder Dr. Daniel Ambinder, series co-chair Dr. Dinu Balanescu (FIT, Mayo Clinic), and episode lead Dr. Anjali Rao (FIT, UTSW) discuss training in cardio-oncology with Dr. Stephanie Feldman from Rutgers University. In this episode, the group discusses some of the most burning questions about educating the next wave of cardio-oncologists. As Dr. Feldman mentions, the projected number of cancer survivors is predicted to be around 24 million by 2024, underscoring the growing importance of cardio-oncology in our practice. We highlight some of the challenges facing trainees and training programs alike, including how to integrate cardio-oncology education into general cardiology training, the optimal structure for an advanced cardio-oncology fellowship, and the role of cardio-oncology in the inpatient setting. We also talk about the takeaways from the ACC Cardio-Oncology Leadership Council document. Dr. Feldman reflects on the importance of flexibility in education in the current landscape, drawing on her personal experience as a cardio-oncologist during the COVID-19 era. Notes were drafted by Dr. Anjali Rao. Audio editing was performed by student doctor, Shivani Reddy. This episode is supported by a grant from Pfizer Inc. This CardioNerds Cardio-Oncology series is a multi-institutional collaboration made possible by contributions of stellar fellow leads and expert faculty from several programs, led by series co-chairs, Dr. Giselle Suero Abreu, Dr. Dinu Balanescu, and Dr. Teodora Donisan.  Pearls • Notes • References • Production Team CardioNerds Cardio-Oncology PageCardioNerds Episode PageCardioNerds AcademyCardionerds Healy Honor Roll CardioNerds Journal ClubSubscribe to The Heartbeat Newsletter!Check out CardioNerds SWAG!Become a CardioNerds Patron! Pearls and Quotes - Cardio-Oncology: Training and Future Directions It may be possible to achieve “COCATS level 2” cardio-oncology training during general cardiology fellowship. A dedicated cardio-oncology year may appeal to trainees who want to achieve “COCATS level 3”, i.e., dedicate their practice to caring for patients with complex cardio-oncology needs, become involved in clinical trials, and lead cardio-oncology clinical and training programs. Supplemental learning opportunities for general fellows can include: Rotating in a cardio-oncology clinic, ideally attached to a National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center Multi-modality cardiac imaging Participating in cardio-oncology research Some currently available educational opportunities include:The International Cardio-Oncology Society (ICOS) weekly webinarsThe American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) webinars on global longitudinal strainThe American Society of Nuclear Cardiology lecture series on cardiac amyloidosis Cardio-oncology focused conferences, such as the American College of Cardiology's (ACC) Advancing the Cardiovascular Care of the Oncology Patient and Memorial Sloan Kettering's Cardio-Oncology Symposium. Each institution may have different inpatient cardio-oncology needs depending on whether there is a stand-alone cancer hospital or another format. Examples of inpatient consults that may benefit from having a cardio-oncologist involved include:Cardiovascular risk assessment prior to bone marrow transplant or cancer related surgery in a patient with known coronary artery diseaseImmune checkpoint inhibitor myocarditisChemotherapy-related cardiac dysfunction Management of systemic anticoagulation in a patient with high CHA2DS2-VASc and chemotherapy related thrombocytopenia.

The Connected Yoga Teacher Podcast 307: Taking Diet-Culture Out of Ayurveda with Diane Finlayson    Description: One of the harmful messages that we get in the broader health and wellness industry and in the yoga world is arounddiet culture. How does it show up in Ayurveda as well, and what can we do about it? Diane Finlayson shares her insights.   Diane Finlayson has been educating yoga teachers, therapists, ayurvedic and meditation facilitators for the past 20 years. Diane recently retired from her service at MUIH (Maryland University of Integrative Health) as the Department Chair for Yoga Therapy and Ayurveda. Prior to that, Diane had 3 yoga studios and ran YTT 200/300 Ayurveda trainings as well as meditation facilitator trainings for 15 years. Diane also serves the recovery community in her private practice.   Diane explains what Ayurveda is and how colonization has affected Ayurveda. She highlights the differences in practice between North America and India, and the scope of practice of different practitioners in the industry and what to be aware of before working with someone in Ayurveda. Diane also shares more about the ways in which diet culture can show up, what she does when she sees it online, and how people interested in adopting Ayurvedic practices can learn and integrate them in their lives more safely.   Key Takeaways: [3:14] Shannon introduces her guest for this episode - Diane Finlayson. [7:29] What does Diane do and who does she do it for? [8:06] How does Diane feel about all the changes in her life at this time, especially around retirement? [9:29] What is Ayurveda? Diane shares a little about the history of Ayurveda and the impact colonization had on it. [14:28] Diane explains how Ayurveda is shared and consumed in North America. [16:05] The scope of practice in Ayurveda around talking to people about food is really blurred.

[37:55] What was it like for Diane deciding which of her teacher's recommendations to follow? [41:01] Whether you're teaching yoga or sharing Ayurveda, how can you encourage agency with our students? [44:58] Shannon reflects that in a lot of our relationships as yoga teachers or Ayurveda practitioners, the other person may be looking for you to tell them what to do. [45:43] Rather than approaching with an attitude of understanding and certainty, try keeping curiosity at the forefront. [47:01] Where does Diane recommend going to learn more about Ayurveda? [49:46] What is something that has really impacted Diane or the people she works with? [53:14] Connect with Diane on social media to continue this conversation.

WE MADE AN AUDIO SITCOM! — It's called Riot Act and is out today on Audible. https://www.audible.com.au/pd/Riot-Act-Audiobook/B081VGWJLG?qid=1575317103&sr=1-1&pf_rd_p=771c6463-05d7-4981-9b47-920dc34a70f1&pf_rd_r=H1WJX9FR94HJ36GAQR9H&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1 Over the last couple of yearsMark Humphries, Evan Williams and I have been writing a sitcom set in the world of conservative talkback radio. It's not so much a workplace comedy but a story about ambition, and politics at the extremes. With the support of Audible we made it into an 8-part sitcom for your ears (we only did the sound, the images are created by your own mind – it's cheaper that way), beating all the odds for making long-form narrative comedy in Australia. And check out this list of incredible performers:Liv HewsonTony MartinAnjali RaoGretel KilleenRupert DegasHeather MitchellMarc FennellBridie ConnelRobbie McGregorVeronica MilsomRosie WaterlandWendy HarmerJordan RaskopoulosClarke RichardsAsh WilliamsSandra SullyHugh RimmintonHamish MacdonaldPenny GreenhalghAnthony SalameIndira NaidooBen FordhamAngela Lavoirpierre.. plus a gazillion more including Mark Humphries and Dan Ilic (Me) We had a wonderful script editor in David K. Barnes (Wooden Overcoats) and an epic restructure and rewrite from Kacie Anning (The Other Guy). We made it with the incredible audio studio Uncanny Valley under the diligent supervision of Matt Perrot who built out the complex soundscape. So this podcast, Mark Humphries, Evan Williams and I had a chat about how and why we made Riot Act – with a call to Anjali Rao and Matt Perrot for some behind the scenes context. It was a real thrill for us to make it, and a privilege to work with our heroes and friends to create something we're very proud of. It's free if you're an Audible subscriber — you can get a 30day free trial if you're not — Riot Act is only 186 minutes so, you know, plenty of time to listen to it a few times, and leave a scathing review: https://www.audible.com.au/pd/Riot-Act-Audiobook/B081VGWJLG?qid=1575317103&sr=1-1&pf_rd_p=771c6463-05d7-4981-9b47-920dc34a70f1&pf_rd_r=H1WJX9FR94HJ36GAQR9H&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1You can listen to Riot Act here — A Rational Fear on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ARationalFear See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
