In this in-depth conversation with longtime friend Greg Nardi, we discuss the ability yoga has to facilitate healing at every level. Greg walks us through the ways yoga enhances healthy embodiment and personal power. He then connects how restoring these aspects of self leads to a more just world. Greg details what one can expect from a yoga therapist and from a trauma-informed yoga teacher and where those modalities overlap. He shares recommendations for yoga teachers, practitioners, and trauma survivors who may have an interest in the ancient practice of yoga and yoga philosophy. Greg Nardi, C-IAYT, E-RYT 500 began his yoga journey in 1996 when a good friend asked him to “try” yoga. From that first class he knew that this was something he was meant to do. Yoga helped him feel healthy after years of childhood illness, anxiety and depression and most importantly yoga gave him a sense of meaning and purpose. He dedicated himself to a yogic lifestyle as part of his healing journey. Greg took four separate teacher trainings in the United States and Europe between 1997 and 2003. He took a dozen extended trips to Mysore, India between 1999-2016 to learn yoga with a focus in asana, yoga history and philosophy, pranayama, meditation, and chanting. Greg is a graduate of the Kripalu School of Integrative Yoga Therapy and was formerly authorized level 2 with the KPJAYI in Mysore, India. Since resigning his authorization in 2018 Greg has dedicated himself to educating yoga practitioners about power dynamics and consent-driven, person-centered, and trauma-informed approaches to the teaching and practice of Yoga. Greg has always considered yoga to be both a form of individual healing and social healing justice. He is the South Florida Program Director for Yoga 4 Change, a trauma-informed yoga services non-profit organization, and sits on the Board of Directors for Chainless Change, a community of recovery offering second chances to those negatively impacted by the criminal legal system. Greg believes in the healing power of yoga for all.

In this solo episode, Amy Wheeler delves into the profound relationship between yoga and emotional intelligence, exploring how ancient wisdom and modern techniques can help us navigate our emotions and improve our interactions with others. This episode covers key concepts from the pancha maya model in the Upanisads, Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication (NVC), and Kristin Neff's principles of self-compassion. Amy provides a comprehensive look at emotional intelligence, its benefits, and common misconceptions.Key Concepts and Highlights1. Understanding Emotional Intelligence:Emotional intelligence involves recognizing, understanding, and managing our own emotions and the emotions of others. It encompasses self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills.Emotional intelligence is crucial for personal and professional success, fostering better relationships, decision-making, and overall well-being.2. The Pancha Maya Model and the Vijnanamaya Layer:The pancha maya model from the Upanisads outlines five layers of personality: annamaya (physical body), pranamaya (energy body), manomaya (mental body), vijnanamaya (wisdom body), and anandamaya (bliss body).The vijnanamaya kosha, or wisdom layer, plays a pivotal role in emotional intelligence. It involves higher cognitive functions such as wisdom, perception, and communication style.By cultivating the vijnanamaya kosha through yoga practices, we can enhance our ability to perceive and respond to our emotions wisely and effectively.3. Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication (NVC):NVC is a powerful tool for developing emotional intelligence, focusing on empathetic and compassionate communication.The four steps of NVC are:Observation: Clearly and objectively describing what is happening without judgment.Feelings: Identifying and expressing emotions related to the observation.Needs: Recognizing the underlying needs driving the emotions.Request: Making a specific, actionable request to address the unmet needs.4. Kristin Neff's Three Steps to Self-Compassion:Self-compassion is essential for emotional intelligence, allowing us to be kind to ourselves and manage our emotions healthily.The three steps to cultivating self-compassion are:Self-Kindness: Treating oneself with understanding and warmth rather than harsh judgment.Common Humanity: Recognizing that suffering and challenges are a shared human experience.Mindfulness: Maintaining a balanced awareness of our emotions without suppressing or exaggerating them.5. Benefits of Emotional Intelligence:Improved relationships and communication.Enhanced ability to handle stress and conflict.Greater empathy and understanding of others.Better decision-making and problem-solving skills.Increased overall well-being and life satisfaction.6. What Emotional Intelligence Is Not:Emotional intelligence is not about suppressing emotions or avoiding difficult conversations.It is not manipulative or insincere; genuine empathy and honesty are key.Emotional intelligence is not innate; it can be developed and strengthened through practice.Practical Tips and Yoga Practices:Amy shares practical yoga techniques and mindfulness practices to enhance emotional intelligence, such as breathwork, meditation, and reflective journaling.She provides insights into integrating these practices into daily life to cultivate greater self-awareness, empathy, and emotional resilience.Join Amy Wheeler in this enlightening episode as she unpacks the synergy between yoga and emotional intelligence, offering valuable tools and insights for personal growth and harmonious living.Additional Resources with Amy Wheeler:University of Minnesota Therapeutic Yoga SeriesPolyvagal Institute Mighty App7-Week Course on Yoga, Yoga Therapy & Polyvagal TheoryOptimal State Mobile AppOptimal State and Yoga Therapy Hour Patreon· Monday Night Yoga Therapy Clinic on www.TheOpimtalState.com· Join us for our Monday night Yoga Therapy Clinics, specially designed to address specific health and wellness topics.

And, she offered examples of some reflections and practices you can use all day to set yourself up for better sleep at night.

This episode of the podcast is a conversation with Neil Pearson about how yoga and mindfulness can help you improve pain, understand your body's signals better, and find relief. Neil is a physical therapist, yoga therapist, and author known for his work integrating yoga and pain science. If you are someone who lives with pain, and you're wondering how yoga or mindfulness could help, this interview will offer plenty of concrete information. I think you will really appreciate Neil's hopeful and empowering message that, yes - we CAN change our pain. It's also a great listen if you teach movement or meditation, and you want to better serve students who may be coming to class to cope with pain. This episode is a great introduction to some of the science that can help you communicate with your students about pain, and confidently handle those moments when someone experiences pain during class. In this interview with Neil, you'll hear: why he's taken this approach of integrating yoga and mindfulness with pain science how movement changes pain by re-training the nervous system and influencing inflammation why it's beneficial to “turn towards” pain with mindful awareness, rather than trying to downplay or ignore it autonomic synchrony and how practicing yoga or mindfulness in a group may be beneficial for pain reduction and why improving pain takes more than just finding the physical cause and fixing the tissues. Neil explains some of the counter-intuitive aspects of how pain works, so we can move away from outdated concepts that may limit our potential recovery. We discuss the impact of dramatic, negative language (like “this joint is bone on bone” or “this disc is shredded).” And, he also talks about how yoga can provide a direct experience of being able to change your pain, which can be a powerful counterpoint to some of our common misconceptions.

(Kristine Weber)It has been concluded that slow, mindful yoga is one of the best treatments for depression.The world is beginning to move towards an evidence-informed practice of proving the efficiency of new treatments, which is necessary, but the yoga world does need to push more for more research credibility.There are still many people who discredit the benefits of yoga, but that is simply because science needs to find the correct tools on how to prove yoga's benefits.Yoga As A Whole Is Not Defined By One TeacherMany people have been put off by yoga or discredit the entire practice of yoga when they encounter a misinformed or brash instructor. It takes many hours of teaching a certain kind of person to lead a yoga class with patience and calmness.One cannot bring aggression or tension into the yoga space.
