In this podcast episode, Karen Fabian, a seasoned yoga teacher with over 22 years of experience, discusses imposter syndrome and its impact on yoga instructors. She describes imposter syndrome as a feeling of inadequacy or self-doubt, where teachers feel they are "faking it" or not qualified enough, despite their training and expertise. This often stems from the pressure of public speaking, the deep responsibility of guiding students through a practice rooted in ancient traditions, and personal limiting beliefs tied to past experiences. Karen emphasizes the importance of detachment from external validation to build confidence, advocating for a consistent teaching approach, such as using a signature sequence, to reduce anxiety and foster authenticity. She shares practical strategies, like grounding exercises and pre-class breathing, to manage nerves and encourages teachers to reflect on their teaching experiences to find balance and authenticity. --Yoga teacher, Podcast Host, Author and Founder of Bare Bones Yoga, Karen Fabian has a background in rehabilitative medicine and healthcare.

Val also holds a M.Ed. in Curriculum in Instruction from the University of Montana. Outside of teaching, Val loves to spend time with her family playing in the woods. Val shares: "I am a mom, a partner, and a yogi.  I love everything related to the outdoors, eating well, connecting with friends, and growing as a parent. Yoga is a practice that I come back to daily to help manage anxiety and life's ebbs and flows.  Some days I focus on my breathing or pranayama, other times I meditate. Sometimes I build heat with vinyasa or powerful movements, or I'll settle into stillness with yin or deep stretching. Sometimes I do it all. Regardless of HOW I practice, yoga always shifts my energy and grounds me back to self. It gives me strength, stamina, a sense of purpose, and balance. This is the power of yoga that I love to share with others! I welcome you to join me in group classes, private sessions, or workshops." Highlights from this conversation with Val include: What is Yin Yoga? The physical goal of getting into a stretch and staying in the sensation, cultivating the ability to BE with.  Balancing the energy of DO'ing (yang) with yin, the ability to step away from the DO'ing and connecting to the feeling/BEing with what is.  How yin can help you settle into stillness, discomfort and awareness of what IS happening in the present moment.  Resistance is the pose can be an opportuinty to BE with or continue resisting, we always have the choice.  Yin as a tool for personal empowerment of awareness of what is happening internally.  Integrating Yin yoga with Internal Family Systems work.  And more...

Hersha Chellaram talks about finding meaning in life, how to know the right outlet for our energy, and the importance of accepting our capacity.Quotes from the Interview:"[The pursuit of excellence] requires some balancing: I think it's really important to still pursue excellence, but then be very real with yourself as to what your capability and capacity is.""Being able to witness your mind while you go through social media's very very important, to see what emotions come up for you, and if it really affects you that much where you've lost your balance, sometimes it's good to disconnect.""Kids can't sometimes recognize the emotions that they're feeling and the actions that come out as a result, but they naturally look for soothing behaviors and activities." "You don't have to have a purpose - you don't need to say "Oh, what is my purpose in life? What am I supposed to be doing?" - no, you just need a general idea of 'Where would I like to head? What would I like to move forward with?', and take one step in that direction."Hersha Chellaram (E-RYT 200, RPYT & RCYT) is a certified Integral Yoga instructor since 2002, an authorised teacher trainer, and adaptive yoga specialist in bringing the complete practice of yoga to adults and children of all ages and abilities (even the grown-up ones), including those with special needs, disabilities and chronic health conditions.She has studied yoga since childhood under the loving guidance of Sri Swami Satchidananda -- an enlightened Yoga Master who founded Integral Yoga® in 1966.

This has been quite a year to review and reflect on. This episode is a personal reflection from the lens of my own lived-experience as Victoria Joy, full-time Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher. There are two major elements that have largely impacted yoga teachers as well as the yoga industry as a whole. The first element I will reflect on is the COVID-19 pandemic and in second part of the series I will reflect on the impacts of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Allison is an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher and also a Reiki practitioner, an astrologist and a manifestation coach. She and I talk about her journey as a teacher, her path to opening a studio with a friend and how that journey shifted as she realized her true passion for helping others was around helping guide them to be the best version of themselves by releasing self-limiting beliefs around money and what’s possible for them in business.

She created her brand, The Okay Days, to change the way we talk about mental health. She believes that okayness relates mental health to us all. With a growing collection of meditations (both written and guided), community discussions on mental health, and weekly interviews celebrating #MoreThanOkayMoments - The Okay Days is a reminder that everything is temporary, and even our least okay days do not last forever. Eden studied journalism at Boston University and is forever grateful for the communication skills she developed there as she went from Associate Editor at Muck Rack, a tech startup that connects content creators with PR professionals, to Studio Manager of different yoga studios to where she is now.

We are thrilled to bring you today's guest, Dr. Karen Pascoe, who is a Licensed Psychologist, Licensed Addiction Counselor, Certified Therapeutic Yoga Teacher, an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher and an Ayurveda Yoga Specialist.  Working as a personal trainer while pursuing her Masters Degree in counseling, she saw how exercise improved her clients' moods, thoughts, and disposition. She began teaching yoga in 1996 and immediately observed her students getting more physically fit in additional to improving their moods, mental abilities and overall have a positive impact on their lives. Karen worked as a therapist at a hospital in New York City, where she began incorporating a mind-body approach to treating individual's recovery from both mental illness and substance dependency. Karen continued her education earning her doctorate while continuing to teach yoga throughout the Denver Metro area and working as a therapist at a drug and alcohol treatment center and at a college-counseling center.  Karen's own personal journey coupled with her experience lead her to open Mindy Body Life Alchemy in 2014, a holistic wellness center, which represents a personal dream: to truly integrate these intertwining practices of mind and body therapies, and offer them together in a safe and beautiful space. With expert guidance and support, Mind Body Life Alchemy aims to help people reach and surpass their mind, body, and emotional health goals and truly transform their lives. In our conversation we dive into many important topics relating to anxiety and depression, specifically in teens/tweens and how her studio offers amazing much needed services.  Karen dives into how our thoughts drive our emotions and behavior and what tools people can use to calm their mind.  These topics are even more relevant during times of crisis.  Karen has so much experience working with teens and tweens, which is such an important group that could really use more support to address the mind-body perspective. Karen shares how she works with the parents of teens/tweens to help them better understand their children, and their innate differences and most importantly equip them with the strategies and tools they need to help their child manage through their anxiety and depression. We also touch on Ayurveda, which is considered the sister science of yoga, that originated in India thousands of years ago.   Links to the dosha quiz we mention (there are several out there so we've included two options): Ayurveda body type dosha quiz Chopra Dosha Quiz If you are a parent, we highly recommend that you take the Dosha  quiz and have your kids do the same. This will greatly help you better understand how you'll need to parent your child(ren) differently and even understand how foods, exercise and how  sleep can affect them.  You can find Karen on: mindbodylifetc.com https://vimeo.com/mindbodylifetc Facebook: @mindbodylifetc  Instagram: @mindbodylifetc Don't forget to subscribe to our podcast so that you can uncover strategies, tips and resources from a variety of experts and our own banks of knowledge as you progress on your journey to living well.  Please share this podcast with a friend or anyone who you think could benefit from this information.

Okay, people what if we have the procedures of achievement all wrong?! We are talking with Jessica Jordan a Desire Map Planner Teacher, the Super Yoga Palace Owner, Experienced-Registered Yoga Teacher, and member of The Polyphonic Spree (what doesn't this girl do?!?) “Typically we come up with our to-do lists, our bucket lists, and our strategic plans — all the stuff we want to have, get, accomplish, and experience outside of ourselves. All of those aspirations are being driven by an innate desire to feel a certain way. How do you want to feel… when you look at your schedule for the week? when you get dressed in the morning? when you walk through the door of your office? when you pick up the phone? when you cash the check? when you fall in love? when you accept the award? when you make the sale? What if, first, we got clear on how we actually wanted to feel in our life, and then we laid out our intentions? What if your most desired feelings consciously informed how you plan your day, your year, your career, your holidays — your life? You know what will happen with that kind of inner clarity and outer action? You’ll feel the way you want to feel more often than not. Decisions will be easier to make: You’ll know what to say no to and what to say hell-yes to. You’ll be more optimistic, more open-hearted. It will be easier for you to return to your center in the midst of a challenge.” -Danielle Laporte

We talk with some oily ladies about how to use essential oils to support mental and emotional wellbeing. A return favorite guest, Noel Baker, Licensed Professional Counselor and Experienced- Registered Yoga Teacher and E-RYT and Sarah Camiolo, Experienced- Registered Yoga Teacher talk all about how oils support the nervous system and the brain. WHAT!!? Yeah, it’s not all woo woo people. A smell can bring on a flood of memories, influence people's moods and even affect their work performance. Because the olfactory bulb is part of the brain's limbic system, an area so closely associated with memory and feeling it's sometimes called the "emotional brain," smell can call up memories and powerful responses almost instantaneously. Topics we cover: Self-care, Baby! Libido Anxiety and depression Importance of Rituals Sleep Hygiene The different ways to use oils
