Judith Hanson Lasater's What We Say Matters

In this episode, I had the honor of speaking again with the legendary Judith Hanson Lasater, who shared reflections on her 53 years of teaching yoga. We explored how her teaching has transformed over the decades, from an athletic focus to a holistic, life-centered approach. Judith shared her belief that true yoga extends beyond the mat and is woven into daily life, where being present and compassionate are at the heart of the practice. We talked about challenges like burnout and the importance of self-renewal, especially for yoga teachers today. Judith's wisdom and insights on being “the bucket, not the water” remind us that teaching yoga is not about pushing students, but guiding them to connect with their own inner wisdom. Her philosophy and stories are sure to inspire both new and experienced yoga practitioners.Episode Highlights:Judith's evolution in teaching yoga over the past five decades.Experiences with feelings of overwhelm and burnout in Judith's teaching career.How modern, digital life impacts yoga teachers' fatigue and well-being.Key qualities that yoga teachers should cultivate.Judith's approach to handling emotions, such as anger or irritation.The story behind how Judith began teaching yoga and her first class.Judith's philosophy of being “the bucket, not the water” as a teacher.Core practices Judith believes are essential for students and teachers to incorporate.Join our mailing listFind all the resources mentioned in this episodeConnect with us on Instagram

Get ready to rock and roll with the latest episode of Uncorked! Holli and Jeanna are joined by Helen Grace MacGregor, who is on a mission to bring people back home to their authentic selves. And guess what? She's owning her ADHD diagnosis like a true rockstar! Helen's journey has been one wild ride. With her tattoo that says "unfold your magic" in a spiral, she's come full circle in her life. From being a sparkly, intuitive child who felt the world's pain too deeply to going through what she calls the "wilderness years," she's now back to herself. She's done it all, tried different careers, and even studied Shiatsu (a Japanese form of healing) before committing to her true calling, writing. She lives and breathes words, and writing is her core. But here's the kicker: Helen discovered she had ADHD at 52, and it was a revelation. She didn't fit the classic picture of a loony boy running around, but when she learned more about ADHD and how it matched her brain, she rocked it! Now she helps people get out of their heads and into their bodies, finding calm and settling their nervous systems. She knows that true inner knowing comes from being connected heart and head, fully embodying yourself. Speaking of embodiment, Helen dives deep into why it's so important to be in your body. When you're not embodied, you're leaving behind 95% of your lifeforce and leaking power, which leads to burnout. So, how do you get back in your body? Follow what lights you up! Dance around, find your joy, and let it guide you back to your true self. In her upcoming book, "The Mid-Life Awakening," Helen shares her wisdom and experiences.  Get ready to be inspired, entertained, and uplifted as Holli, Jeanna, and Helen Grace MacGregor take you on an epic adventure of self-discovery, healing, and unleashing your inner magic. It's time to uncork your true potential and rock your authentic self! More about Helen Grace MacGregor: Helen Grace MacGregor is an endlessly curious lightworker by stealth! As an intuitive wordsmith, soul guide, facilitator, Qoya teacher and women's empowerment educator, she gently ripples out love through her words and work. Helen is the creator of The Magical Process and is passionate about gently empowering midlife women to express their innate creativity and embrace their unique magic. She does this through her books, podcast, introvert-friendly group gatherings and programmes offering seasonal, soulful embodiment and energy practices. Helen has spent almost two decades empowering women. Prior to that, she was an NHS health professional, which is where she learned the hard way how important it is to balance your head, heart AND soul. Her drive to understand what makes humans tick led her to train with some of the best embodiment and energy teachers in the western world, such as Rochelle Schiek, Sonia Choquette, Barefoot Doctor, Bruce Frantzis, Helen Noakes, Judith Hanson Lasater and Saul Goodman. After life threw her a shocking turning point in 2019, Helen recently followed her heart by relocating to West Sussex, UK, where she has found herself living somewhere that takes her breath away! She can often be found walking, cycling, singing, teaching, dancing, doing yoga, drinking coffee and writing. Sometimes she has to pinch herself because this is the life she once dreamed of... Helen believes that if we all learn to live in a way that lights up our soul, together we will create a brighter world.

Charlotte Bell has been practicing yoga since 1982, and began teaching in 1986. She has established and taught regular classes along Utah's Wasatch Front, and in California and Hawaii. She also teaches workshops, teacher trainings, and yoga for cancer patients and their families at Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City. She has taught at national yoga conferences and international yoga teacher trainings and on women's river trips on the Green and Colorado rivers. Certified by B.K.S. Iyengar in 1989, she enjoys learning from teachers of many different yogic perspectives. Charlotte's asana teaching has been most influenced by her two guiding teachers, Donna Farhi and Judith Hanson Lasater. She received her 500-hour certification from Yoga Alliance in 2000, and is currently registered at the organization's highest level, E-RYT-500. Vipassana meditation practice has had the most profound influence on Charlotte's work. She began her practice in 1986, and has attended many 10-and 30-day meditation retreats since then. Her practice has been guided by her spiritual mentors, Pujari and Abhilasha Keays of the Last Resort in Cedar Breaks, Utah, since 1985. In recent years, she has made an annual trip to Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Woodacre, California, to sit an 18-day combined metta (kindness) and insight meditation retreat. Charlotte teaches mindfulness classes online, and at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts and Red Butte Garden. All these influences combine to form an evolving style of yoga that acknowledges the alignment principles of the Iyengar system while applying mindful attention to gain insight into the truth of each individual's asana practice rather than striving for preconceived goals. She encourages students to explore and trust their own experience in their asana practice, and enjoys learning new perspectives from her students. In addition to teaching yoga and meditation, Charlotte writes feature stories for several publications, including Catalyst Magazine, Yoga U Online and the Hugger Mugger Yoga blog. Her articles have appeared in Yoga Journal and Yoga International. She has written feature articles for the Telluride Bluegrass Festival's program since the early 1990s, and has participated in research and writing for a book about the festival's history. In 2007 Rodmell Press (now a part of Shambhala Publications) published her first book, Mindful Yoga, Mindful Life: A Guide for Everyday Practice.The book blends the principles of mindfulness with the practice of Patanjali's Eight Limbs of Yoga. Her second book, Yoga for Meditators, was published by Rodmell Press in 2012 and was one of 10 books recommended in Yoga Journal magazine's “Yoga Books of 2012” list. Her most recent book, Hip-Healthy Asana: A Yoga Practitioner's Guide to Protecting the Hips and Avoiding SI Joint Pain, was published in 2018 by Shambhala Publications. Charlotte plays oboe and English horn in the Salt Lake Symphony; the woodwind quintet, Scherzando Winds; the chamber folk ensemble, blue haiku; and with blue haiku, Kate MacLeod and Hal Cannon in the folk sextet, Red Rock Rondo. Red Rock Rondo's 2009 DVD has won two Emmy awards and an award from the National Educational Television Association.

Judith Hanson Lasater is an American yoga teacher and writer who is recognized as one of the leading yoga teachers in the country and throughout the world. Judith's resume is nothing short of impressive: Not only has she been teaching yoga for more than 50 years, but she helped found The California Yoga Teachers Association, the Iyengar Yoga Institute in San Francisco, and the Yoga Journal magazine, which is now in its 46th year of print. She's written 11 books, has taught all over the globe and raised three children. Talk about a super woman!Judith taught was also one of the three teachers to hold the first retreat at the Feathered Pipe Ranch in 1975, a three-week yoga program, for 28 people, all inclusive for $250. And she's returned nearly every year since, and now every summer, one week herself and one week with her daughter Lizzie Lasater, an internationally-known Restorative yoga teacher who learned from her mom.In this conversation, we talk about the right-hand turn that changed her life, her personal understanding of the word ‘spiritual,' how the body is a storehouse for wisdom, and her favorite memory from the Feathered Pipe Ranch over the years. Judith has been brave enough to allow her intuition to carry her through life, an act that takes vulnerability, which she defines as being fully porous and present to the moment.She walks us through several micro exercises to explain topics of perspective, the neurological relationships between the tongue and the brain, and the practice of disidentifying with our thoughts.There is so much quotable wisdom in this conversation:“Perspective doesn't affect your life—it is your life.”"The present moment is the only truth we know.”“We think life is strong and love is fragile, but really it's the other way around. Life hangs by a thread and love holds the universe together.”JudithHansonLasater.comSupport the show (https://featheredpipe.com/gratitude/)

Judith Hanson Lasater discusses her new book for teachers of all experience levels, Teaching Yoga with Intention. She shares wisdom gained in over fifty years of teaching yoga and how she has embraced her own humanity to become a more effective teacher.  

Lizzie Lasater is a yoga teacher, producer, and designer, who lives in Salzburg with her Austrian husband and two year old twin boys. Many of you in the yoga community may know of her mother, Judith Hanson Lasater, who is a restorative yoga expert. Lizzie has such a refreshing perspective on motherhood and what it means to truly take care of yourself even when the demands of mom life are heavy.

Judith Hanson Lasater is back on the show today for the 3rd time. We chat about her 2 very significant milestones. Her newest book, “Teaching Yoga with Intention - The Essential Guide to Skillful Hands-On Assists and Verbal Communication”. She also completed 50 years of teaching yoga this July & I ask her what it's like to teach for half a century. Her evolution through this journey. Teaching yoga with intention is a book that is for both - the yoga teacher and the yoga student. Judith addresses the importance of communication for yoga teachers. Especially communicating using the system of non-violent communication. (I had previously interviewed her about this. Listen to episode 31) & the importance of mutuality & empathy in communication. Her book also highlights adjustments, power dynamics, difficult conversations & hands-on adjustments. My favorite part of the book is the final section about how to become an educated student. This is a key part of the conversation that's missing in mainstream yoga. We can all use reminders of how to be a better yoga student! Judith also shares a special 30% off coupon code for her new book in this episode.

I began to realize that sometimes my yoga practice can be just me on my mat focusing on my breath rather than any set posture. That yoga is what you make, it every time you take to your mat. How liberating! Thank you Bex.”#80: Awakening and Healing Your Womb with Diana Beaulieu.“This episode so touched me. I really related to everything that was being said.

The most important question is 'What is going to be the relationship I have with my students?'." - Judith Hanson Lasater   "I'm finding that [parenting] is so much more full mind-body-spirit than any of the books I read led me to believe." - Lizzie Lasater

Kahekümne neljas imeline külaline on Temea Vendelin. Temea Vendelin on Infra Jooga stuudio üks asutajatest ja õpetajatest ning joogakooli Infra Yoga School eestvedaja. Ta on sündinud ja kasvanud Eestis, kuid saatuse tahtel läks ta elama USA-sse. Ja tema joogatee saigi alguse üle 15 aasta tagasi USA-s, kui ta sattus oma esimesse joogatundi ning tundis , et ta on „kodus“. See tund oli armastus esimesest asendist ning sellest päevast saati tegeleb ta joogaga regulaarselt. Aastal 2009 läbis Temea Vinyasa Flow 200-tunni joogatreenerite koolituse USA-s ning seejärel avas seal ka oma joogastuudio. Temea on sertifitseeritud E-RYT500® joogaõpetaja läbi rahvusvahelise organi-satsiooni Yoga Alliance´i. 2015 aasta kevadel osales ta USA-s Shining Light Prenantal Education Rasedate jooga juhendajate koolitusel, et täiendada oma teadmisi ja anda neid edasi ka teistele. Ning sama aasta sügisel läbis ta Taastava jooga (Restorative Yoga) õpetajate kursuse ühe maailma tuntuima õpetaja Judith Hanson Lasater käe all. Lisaks on Temea läbinud Embodied Yin Yoga õpetajate kursuse ja on osalenud erinevatel koolitustel ja töötubades ning tema õpetajateks on olnud Kino Macgregor, Noa Maze ja Shiva Rea. 2013 aastal asutas ta Eesti esimese rahvusvaheliselt registreeritud joogakooli Infa Yoga School, kus sellel kevadel lõpetas juba kolmas lend suurepäraseid joogaõpetajaid. Temea juhendamisel saab õppida Vinyasa 200-tunni koolitusel, mille lõpetajad saavad rahvusvaheliselt tunnustatud tunnistuse, mis on kehtiv paljudes riikides üle maailma. Täna juhendab Temea joogatunde nii Eestis kui ka USA-s ja tema sooviks on jagada oma õpitut, kogemusi ja praktikaid läbi joogatundide, koolituste ja töötubade, et jooga jõuaks kõigini.

If you've practiced yoga for awhile, it's likely that you've heard a sweeping generalization about alignment in a pose. Often these generalizations get passed around until they become cemented as absolute truths -- when in fact, they're really just true under certain conditions at certain times. Or they're simply myths. My guest today is Judith Hanson Lasater, who addresses all of this in her newest book, "Yoga Myths: What You Need to Learn and Unlearn for a Safe and Healthy Yoga Practice."Here are a few highlights from our conversation:* We talk about how she is handling shelter-in-place and how it's affected her teaching* Her thoughts on “right and wrong” in yoga and how she frames that conversation instead* 3 common cues you might hear in yoga class that she says are based on myths about the body* When it’s appropriate to question something that you’ve learned from your yoga teacher* Why she says the pelvis is everything!Show notes: yogalandpodcast.com/episode206 Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/yogaland.

For this episode, I sat down with Judith Hanson Lasater. Judith has a Ph.D in East-West psychology, she’s a trained, Physical Therapist and has been teaching yoga since 1971. She trains students and teachers throughout the United States as well as abroad. She is the co-founder of Iyengar Yoga Institute in San Francisco and a founder of the Yoga Journal magazine and is president of the California Yoga Teachers Association. She has written eight books, including her most recent one called: Restore and Rebalance: Yoga for Deep Relaxation.MY 5 BIGGEST TAKE-AWAY FROM THIS EPISODE:1- Restorative yoga is remembering to be still every day. When we are still, silence arises. When silence arises, fear melts away. When fear melts away, there's space for spontaneous gratitude, joy, compassion and empathy. From there's an integration of our being.2- You can't force yourself to relax, but you can carve out 20 minutes a day to do nothing. Doing nothing is the best thing you can do for yourself. It's a radical thing. No music, no talking, no recording. Do it in a place you feel safe and it's quiet. 3- It will start to notice that your mind is a drunken monkey. Pay attention to the sensations of breaths and you'll create radical presence. Becoming aware of sensation is a practice of body-fulness on top of mind-fulness. 4- The body is always trying to reach out homeostasis. Stress is the most important disruptor of that state of homeostasis. Worrying is praying for what you don't want. so let's focus on what you don't want.Physiologically, it takes at least 15 min to relax, if you are well rested.5- The light is the most stimulating thing to the nervous system.QUESTIONS SHE ANSWERED DURING THIS EPISODE :Can you define what is restorative yoga and explain what is special about it or different than other styles of yoga?Do you think it's a more meditative practice compare to other asana practices?What are the benefits, or positive effects of this practice?How do you take the weight of stress off the body?What are the stages of Savasana?SUBSCRIBE, RATE & REVIEW!DONATE OR BECOME AN EXCLUSIVE MEMBER TODAY.Thank you so much for listening and being part of our 58th episode!

“The prayer of our souls is a petition for persistence; not for the one good deed, or single thought, but deed on deed, and thought on thought, until day calling unto day shall make a life worth living.” - W.E.B. DuBois W.E.B. DuBois was an American sociologist, historian, author, editor, and activist who was an important black protest leader in the United States during the first half of the 20th century, and a co-founder of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People). The fight for Social Justice continues, requiring community uprising, institutional and personal transformation. Persistent practice is required to accomplish our objectives in all of our work, from personal physical, creative, and spiritual practices to the work of social and political change. That persistence requires commitment, determination, and discipline. Within yogic literature, verse 1:12 of Patanjali's Yoga Sutra describes the discipline of the mind thus: “Cessation of the turnings of thought comes through practice and dispassion.” In our personal practices, such as yoga and dancing, taking responsibility for our well-being and finding the right shapes and movements for our own bodies on this particular day is critical to our persistence. I recommend listening to your body's needs and utilizing supports such as a chair, a wall, props like yoga blocks, blankets, straps, and bolsters to adapt the stances and movements. This sort of self-awareness and self-care helps us persist with our yoga practice by assisting us to find the version of a pose that works best in this moment, and learning to modify each movement according to our evolving needs. Choosing our projects, practices, and causes based on our values and Purpose or dharma also supports our persistence. In her book, Living Your Yoga: Finding the Spiritual in Everyday Life, Judith Hanson Lasater suggests the following practice for developing discipline: “Make a list of things you have always wanted to do, but never seem to find the time to try, or things that you already do but have resistance to doing. You might choose meditating, writing a book, playing the piano, practicing poses or breathing techniques, reading a good book, or taking a daily walk. It could be something else. What is important is that you pick something and commit yourself to doing it for fifteen minutes a day...To support your commitment, set a timer. It is important to continue for the full fifteen minutes. It is also important to stop after fifteen minutes, so that you do not become obsessive about the activity. Some days you will want to do this exercise; other days, it may be difficult. In either case, do it anyway, acknowledging that it is something you have chosen...Carry on for one month, and then review your experience. At that time, you may want to continue the activity, change it, or drop it altogether. In any case, you will have had the opportunity to experience consistency and commitment without rigidity.” I myself have seen transformation in my life from adopting habits aligned with my goals for as little as 5 minutes daily!

Ugh, how very vulnerable I feel sharing my shit sometimes. It'd be easier if I just shared lists with y'all like, "5 ways to practice meditation!" or "3 different pranayama (breath) practices to help ease anxiety!" But there's lots of that out there. What I hope to offer is raw and real. It's the bull shit mind battles that we all go through whether we acknowledge 'em, are aware of 'em, or speak about 'em- most of the time, we call all relate. As long as we 're wiling to carve away the layers that conceal our humanness. The book Living Your Yoga by Judith Hanson Lasater is absolute GOLD and I recommend it with my whole heart. It's a more elegant, more wise version of this podcast... it's understanding how to practice in the very messiness of your REAL ASS LIFE.

In this episode Chara and Maria talk about what it takes to make sure your practice continues to serve you as you age. What are the signs when your practice needs to adapt and change to serve you better, as you age, or anytime? Why is there so much resistance to changing and adapting practice to aging, and what teachers can do to help their students overcome that resistance? Once we do acknowledge that change needs to happen, where do we start? What happens when you age? What can potentially go wrong, and what do we need to do in yoga to address or ideally prevent problems? How can we adapt yoga without making it into a geriatric, boring practice?How can an understanding of the ashramas (the traditional yogic stages of life) help us to reorient and adapt our practice and our teaching? What skills and resources do teachers need to cultivate in their students to help them navigate changes in an empowered, safe way? What does using yoga to age well look like? Join us for this wide ranging discussion.

Sexual misconduct in the yoga community isn't new. But the evolving #metoo and #timesup movements have brought to light the magnitude of the problem for women from all walks of life -- including within the yoga world. (Rachel Brathen collected more than 300 of them last year). It's opened an important dialogue about how to put an end to sexual misconduct and other abuses of power within the yoga community. There are a few thoughtful yoga teachers leading the way, and I talked with two of them in this week's episode: Judith Hanson Lasater and Mary Taylor. Judith and Mary, with AZIAM founder Alanna Zabel, shared their stories recently with Yoga Journal.

Judith Hanson Lasater and her daughter, Lizzie Lasater, have been on the podcast separately before. On episodes 64 & 65 I focused on their backgrounds and on the mother-daughter connection. This time, I wanted back up and simply ask the question, "Why restorative yoga?" Why now? And why isn't "regular" hatha yoga restorative enough? One response, in particular, surprised me -- seeing restorative yoga as a radical act of self care in a society that's so filled with aggression and violence.Shownotes: yogalandpodcast.com/episode821.

Lizzie Lasater teaches the pleasure of deceleration through Restorative yoga workshops and digital trainings. Lizzie is the daughter of venerated yoga teacher Judith Hanson Lasater, so I was keen to pick her brain about how yoga was (successfully! without rejection!) passed onto her. Lizzie also offers great tips for incorporating Restorative Yoga into everyday life. And, as she's witnessed both of her parents growing older and benefitting from lifelong yoga and meditation practice, Lizzie talks about the importance of taking the longview with asana practice.

Judith Hanson Lasater Ph.D., physical therapist, has been teaching yoga since 1971. Judith has written nine books and is one of the founders of Yoga Journal Magazine. I had many opportunities to interview Judith during my decade as an editor there, but this interview was so refreshingly different for me because I got to ask her whatever I wanted! She shared how she found yoga, the importance of following your intuition, and her tips for learning to communicate clearly. I have the utmost respect for Judith -- her body of work, her insight, her compassion and care for her students all shine through in this interview.
