A gift for Cookie Monsters ahead of Tuesday’s election: a breath-and body-focused meditation, from Free Cookies-favorite Gina Caputo, for staying in our bodies when our minds want to spin out into the stress-o-sphere.

Professional yoga and meditation teacher Gina Caputo talks with Michael about yoga and how it can be translated into everyday life as a tool of awareness. In all the work she does, what is most important to Gina is seeing you in your wholeness to be the best guide she can be. Accessibility, authenticity, inclusivity and integrity are what Gina stands for. She embraces a “sincere, not serious” approach to her work, because the evolutionary journey of being human is tough... and if we don't leaven spiritual gravitas with a little humor, we'll be left eating a very dry bread of life!  https://ginacaputo.com/Instagram: @yoginiontheloose Recorded: July 2017 at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO Michael's most recent album ‘Work Hard And Be Nice' is out now: https://orcd.co/work-hard-and-be-niceKeep in touch with Michael online: www.michaelfranti.comThe Stay Human podcast is available wherever you listen to podcasts: www.stayhumanpodcast.com PODCAST EPISODE CREDITS:Executive Producers: Michael Franti and Activist Artists ManagementProducer: Angie Griffith for Activist Artists ManagementArtist Manager: Caitlin Stone for Activist Artists ManagementManagement Coordinator: Ashley Dill for Activist Artists ManagementSocial Media Manager: Emily Marquis for Coffeehouse CollectiveIn Partnership with: American Songwriter Podcast Network (Dan Wise, COO)  Instrumental from: “Crazy For You” by Michael Franti Audio Editing by: Anthony Thoen

Kate and Kathryn wanted to understand how this pandemic is effecting small businesses, so they spoke with a yoga entrepreneur (Gina Caputo of Colorado School of Yoga), boutique owner (Stacy Smallwood of Hampden Clothing), cafe owner (Jon Echeverry of Paper Plane Coffee) and restauranteurs (Melody and Michael Shemtov of Butcher & Bee). Also, from now on: we dunk at 8pm.

Every journey has an intentional balance of highs and lows. Gina Caputo (aka the Yogini on the Loose) has been teaching yoga for two decades and is the founder of the Colorado School of Yoga. In this week’s episode, Gina and Dr. Carly delve into the dangers of Spiritual Bypassing, and discuss how to honor the shadows and grit along with the positivity and light in order to live your most authentic life. Gina also recounts her transformative yoga journey, and how it lead her to create her own style of yoga (Integrated Vinyasa) and start the Colorado School of Yoga. Get ready- this conversation will open your mind on a spiritual level!You can find Dr. Carly here:Healing Ground ChiropracticYou can find Gina here:Yogini On The LooseSUBSCRIBE!!!YouTube - iTunes - Google Play - Spotify

Listen to the one the only Gina Caputo - yoga teacher to everyone who loves her!!! This girl is loved by so many that she would only have lasted in Oz for a few moments - she has the power to take you through a journey to intrinsic awareness through a vinyasa practice.

Welcome to Season 2! So so grateful for this conversation with Gina. Gina is the founder and head of the Colorado School of Yoga and spreads her magic far and wide! For more info on Gina, please visit www.ginacaputo.com .

Kate and Kathryn tackle an incredibly hot topic: If you were stuck in Jurassic Park, would you be Team Budig or Team Fagan (and why Kathryn has strong feelings about this). Then things get spicy as they patch in Gina Caputo, the Yogini on the Loose, to lift the curtain on the yoga scene. Is it ‘yogic’ to be judgmental? How passive-agressive is the yoga world? Is it healthy to be competitive, how has yoga affected our psyche, and why you should NEVER talk smack about Gina’s beloved avocados.

Gina Caputo has so much to offer to Yogaland: In addition to practicing and teaching yoga for nearly two decades, she's been on the ground floor of opening and managing three different yoga schools -- Sacred Movement in Venice, California, Kansas Siddhi Yoga Studio, and and The Colorado School of Yoga in Boulder, Colorado. Gina also has a FANTASTIC sense of humor. One of my favorite things she says in this interview is, "Be sincere, not serious." On this episode, I asked Gina to share her thoughts and stories about self-awareness practice, specifically her recent experience of doing a 10-day silent meditation course. Spoiler alert: She made it through 10 days of silence! But not without some support from a banana or two.

Three years later, I would be a student in one of her 300 hour Training intensives. Gina has a wealth of knowledge about the body and shares it in the most accessible manner I have seen thus far!In this interview which takes place at the newly erected Colorado School of Yoga in Boulder, Gina and I talk about her experience as a Teacher's Assistant for over 10 years, why yoga education is fundamental to the success of a student and teacher in this practice, and so much more! Gina brings the more esoteric and lofty ideas found in yoga and a full spectrum of posture difficulty to the most least likely individual to practice yoga, allowing yoga to become accessible for the people. What is YOGA? what is ENERGY?

Thanks for tuning into the Yoga Revealed Blogpost!  Jason Bowman: Meditation and the Nature of Reality “My First Vipassana. It was earth shattering, it was one of the most intense experiences of both desperation and ecstasy. I felt like it was the first time I tasted the things I had been mentally absorbing what I had heard for year through Yoga Study. I didn’t really know it until I was empty of experience.” “It took me a number of years to get to a point when I could sit every day- or i really wanted to sit everyday. At some point there was a shift within myself, where it became evident as my practice in sitting wasn’t something that i needed to check off my list in the morning anymore. I actually wanted to wake up and sit.” Over the weekend I had the privilege to continue my studies in the Colorado School of Yoga with Gina Caputo (whom will be on the podcast, check back soon about Higher Education in Yoga Studies!) Jason Bowman was a guest teacher through the weekend offering his experience. For his age, he has a plethora of wisdom that has been poured into his being, integrating it patiently in order to share it authentically with the world. This is one of his great gifts. He is a natural speaker and moves with poise and eloquence.  He shared a story in the training that truly owns his own cliches and more so, creates a sense of intention through his words. He is REAL! During a public class some time ago he had shared the students were in Warrior 2 and he had his back facing them, looking at the wall (talking about back muscles) and after he was done cueing, he said, “ Okay. Good.” and then proceeded to laugh out loud and say, “wow! I just said Good, as if I saw you, and I wasn’t even looking at you. Funny.”  It’s a story like that that allows Jason’s perspective and observation of his personal movie to unfold with great awareness. He called himself out and owned it by speaking out loud!  Our interview took place at my home in Boulder, Colorado on a beautiful snowy day! He walks in and instantly get to talking about yoga.  Talking to Jason is always interesting. He is one of the unique individuals who is intriguing no matter what he says. From talking about his practice of meditation in the Vipassana sits, (10 day meditation retreats), to cliches of our yoga world, to the Fear of Death that the yoga practice sets to pacify, into the commodification of yoga. We dive into interesting topics that many may not want to talk about.  Check this episode out and find inspiration to Own Your Self! To Practice Meditation and Sit Still. Check out his website, www.Jasonbowmanyoga.com has insightful posts on his Blog, beautiful photos he has taken, and upcoming events! Check out his upcoming Moab Retreat coming up in May & Patagonia in October!  His book suggestions are : The Faraway Nearby by Rebecca SolnitCutting Through Spiritual Materialism by Chogyam Trungpa Love and Other Ways of Dying by Michael Paterniti, The Wallcreeper by Nell Zink His Vipassana Center Suggestion: North Fork, CA is the oldest one in the US and probably my favorite that I've been to. It has nice accommodations and mojo. It's also kinda in the middle of nowhere.Kelseyville, CA is not as nice but small and close to SF. I like it there although you usually don't get your own room, which is obviously nice. Twenty-nine Palms, CA is near Joshua Tree, I’ve never been there but I hear it's very very plush and beautiful.Always, We hope that the Podcast simply provides Inspiration for you to BE yoga. Evolving the practice beyond a movement practice, creating space in life for greater intention and higher purpose. Thank you for listening and thank you for reading!
