Have you ever admired a teacher and wished you could spend an hour going deep with them? That is what we got to do today with yoga teacher and psychology student, Heather Lilleston. Heather is currently in a doctoral program working towards her PhD in Clinical Psychology, and has taught yoga since 2003. In 2012, she co-founded Yoga For Bad People, a company focused on leading yoga retreats worldwide. Heather has been certified by such esteemed studios as Jivamukti Yoga with Sharon Gannon and David Life and Yoga Shanti with Colleen Saidman Yee and Rodney Yee, where she later assisted as a mentor, and taught as a lead teacher. She was recognized by Yoga Journal as one of the “50 Innovators Changing the Game of the Wellness Industry”, and held their cover for the January/February 2017 issue. She is also a senior teacher of The Class founded by Taryn Toomey. Today we discuss how Heather's psychology studies will enrich her yoga teachings, and the benefits and costs of wellness becoming a commodity. We also talk about the gifts that came out of a forced retreat during the pandemic. Lastly, we discuss heartbreaks, and her advice for getting through them.

A hyper, type A personality, I found yoga after trying kickboxing and almost completing a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.  Apparently, I thought kicking people made me feel better? In 2003 I tried a yoga class with Paola Di Paolo in Toronto and was hooked.  Returning to the mat moving slowly and deliberately began to offer benefits no other workout had. I began to sleep better, live with compassion, and deal with years of unresolved grief.In January 2007,  I travelled to Nosara, Costa Rica to study under world-renowned yogis, Don and Amba Stapleton, at the Nosara Yoga Institute where I became certified as a Yoga Alliance recognized Interdisciplinary Yoga Teacher.  More recently my studies have included workshops and master classes in Ashaya Yoga lead by Todd Norian,  Amy Ipoliti, Rod Stryker, Rodney Yee, Colleen Saidman Yee and Tiffany Cruikshank Yoga Medicine.In yoga we are asked to check our egos at the door – which I can do – but – I travel with my sense of humour and I find it to be such a good tool when guiding a yoga class!  The foundations of my classes are a gentle Hatha Yoga based practice exploring Yin Yoga postures while incorporating a strong emphasis on Iyengar's alignment principals.  Breathwork with emphasis on coming home to the body as a major theme is presented through guided meditation and asana practice.Mothership Yoga Wild Wellness Retreats began in 2008 offering a wonderful mix of yoga practice, theory, guided meditation, massage, sound therapy and plant-based whole foods.

My guest for this mantra-filled podcast is Cathie Caccia. Please read more about this “yoga superstar” below. Please also see below for the links to her website, with information about retreats and classes you can get involved in.   If you are one of the lucky people listening to the episode prior to October 18th, 2019, please see below for a link to the retreat with Rodney Yee and Colleen Saidman Yee. There are NINE mantras for this show.  They are: 1. Being a “yoga superstar” is a bit of an oxymoron (yoga is for every-body). 2.  Yoga is about I'm doing rather than doing. 3. A major benefit of yoga is being connected to one's authentic self. 4. Finally - a message about getting unstuck:  “don't calcify the conversation, listen”. 5.  We all need to be heard, seen, and hopefully understood (listen to others). 6.  We need to see ourselves, listen to ourselves, and hopefully understand ourselves (listen to self). 7. Breathing can create physical, spiritual, and mental healing. 8.  We are all radio stations broadcasting a signal; what vibrational seeds do you want to germinate? 9.  Creating a mantra for the breath (in and out) is so easy, yet so transformational.

Colleen Saidman Yee is one of the most revered and recognizable women in the world of yoga. She has been an international fashion model since 1980 and teacher since 1998. Along with her husband Rodney Yee, Saidman Yee leads teacher trainings at their studio, Yoga Shanti, in New York City. Together they developed the Urban Zen Integrative Yoga Therapist Program, a worldwide initiative with Donna Karan in 2010 that's designed to transform care in hospitals around the world. In this episode, we talk with Saidman Yee about her intimate journey to yoga. She shares the tumultuous path of uncovering self-worth as a young fashion model amidst the staggering pressure to conform to expectations of the industry and those around her. She explains that through these early challenges of self-criticism and doubt, she tried to outrun her fears until finally she was faced with no choice but surrender. This is a raw and authentic conversation about discovering your enough-ness, cultivating peace and contentment, and finding the daily practices that draw you back to yourself. Today Saidman Yee shares the power of breath, meditation and movement as a way into vulnerability, acceptance and resilience. Saidman Yee also shares with us the inspiring vision and profound work of the Urban Zen Project. Her collaborative initiative trains members of healthcare and yoga communities on treating the patient, not just the disease.

When it comes to balancing the roles of businessperson, teacher, student, practitioner, wife, and mother, we can all learn from Colleen Saidman Yee. As she tells episode host Zubin Shroff, finding time for her own personal practice can be a challenge. So how does she do it? Delegation, a strong work ethic, and starting every day with her own practice first thing in the morning. Being handed a cup of tea by husband Rodney Yee after rolling out of bed is nice, too – “Some mornings, we prop ourselves up and do our Pranayama in bed.” In response to a question from Lydia from San Antonio, TX, Colleen shares how menopause is another area where yoga practice can restore balance. She describes how Sitali pranayam, which is a very cooling practice, can counter the heat associated with both perimenopause and menopause.

You’ll hear Rodney draw on wisdom from spiritual teachers like Ram Dass, the poet Rumi and the Dalai Lama, who said “My religion is kindness.” Discover how the growth toward kindness, spurred by what Krishnamurti calls “choiceless awareness,” is a slow process, even for master teachers like Rodney and Colleen, and why Rodney doesn't think of time as a purely linear progression. Moving from kindness to love, Sheila from Hawaii wants to know what role love plays in Rodney’s practice and teachings, which leads Rodney and Colleen into a discussion about love and conflict. You’ll find out why Rodney feels like he’s not qualified to describe love: “Does a fish describe the ocean?” Luckily for us, he doesn’t stop there, helping us understand how conflict is merely a “subset of love.”

"Women are strong and beautiful, and we are also in pain - physical, emotional, and psychological - stemming from past or present trauma. Yoga gives us tools to overcome the obstacles that exist between us and freedom, joy, and gratitude. I see why women come to yoga; they want to reclaim something in themselves.

In this episode we're going where many others fear to tread. Endings. Endings are a part of life that most of us have been taught to avoid but what I'm loving about midlife is that finally we have the maturity and wisdom to creatively and spiritually work with endings in a way that will help us live a healthier life. For this subject, I use the metaphor of sending our kids away to college - something that many midlife women are bracing for at this time of year, as the final year of high school draws to a close. The thing is, it doesn't matter whether you are going through this or not, all of us experience endings and I'm going to share with you five ways to look at an ending and turn it into a beginning.
