Today we have a delightful conversation with Karen James, a creative teacher of accessible yoga, based in the UK. In this episode, you'll "discover the joy of sitting on a chair," as Karen puts it, and how chair yoga can be beneficial for just about anyone. You'll hear how Karen went from "power yoga" to feeling more empowered through gentle yoga, and how it helped her connect with her authentic self in new ways. We talk about how creativity enhances both the enjoyment and the accessibility of the practice, and you'll hear Karen describe how she comes up with fluid and interesting sequences using the chair. We also reflect on safety, practicing yoga online, and the role of hands-on adjustments during in-person classes. And, in true creative fashion, we end the episode with one of Karen's poems (which I think you will absolutely love)!

Another Social Distancing Session is upon us and we put a twist on it, which is very appropriate considering the film we discussed, Knives Out is the first film we've done an SDS episode on that is not on Netflix. We felt this film was worth spending the extra money to rent because of how great it is. Knives Out gives a modern take on the classic Whodunit genre and it's the first of these films we've ever done. Since we are debuting a new genre, we thought we should bring in a couple new guests, so making their Avid Indoorsmen debut are Austin Brown and Cash Campbell!Before we talk to those guys we discuss the last movies we've seen, what we're streaming and what we've been eating.We got pretty chatty in this one and told a lot of stories while breaking down Knives Out.

KNOCK DOWN THE HOUSE, Rachel Lears’s remarkable documentary following four female politicians as they challenged local Democratic incumbents in the 2018 midterm elections, is now playing daily here at Film at Lincoln Center.

This podcast is brought to you by Film at Lincoln Center. www.filmlinc.org

It feels like there’s no better place to start for exploring the concept of purpose, than with a discussion with Karen James. This absolute powerhouse of an author, facilitator, consultant and keynote speaker has thrown all that she’s got at elevating our conversations of purpose as a society, and enabling everyone to tap into the power of examining existence. An engineer by background, a passionate social advocate by choice, a champion for women’s rights and a proud single mother, it’s no surprise that my conversation with Karen was not only filled with soulful insight, but with stories, practical advice and tools for what it means to identify and implement purpose in our lives. We dove in on some of the biggest questions possible surrounding the idea of purpose, like is discovering purpose a choice or chance? When truly switched on, how can purpose help guide some of our day-to-day actions, not just our overarching strategies? What role does storytelling play in the role of purpose?“It [discovering your purpose] can take months, but once you’ve nailed it, it can last you decades”It can be hard to talk about purpose without it becoming a conversation of lofty concepts and ambiguous references, which made my conversation with Karen all the more impressive. I walked away with some really clear inspiration on how to begin working through these questions for myself and my business. How to create a purpose blueprint, and the important of knowing what we stand for and value and how these things can become a compass, and not just a collection of nice words.“If you have a strategy, or a purpose, that you can’t execute, you just have a slogan” - Karen James

Today I am joined by John Beckett founder and CEO of Seed. His passion is helping individuals and organisations to develop and articulate a clear sense of identity and purpose, and to find the places where their own stories fit with God’s story and God’s purposes. John is the Founder and CEO of Seed. His passion is helping individuals and organisations to develop and articulate a clear sense of identity and purpose, and to find the places where their own stories fit with God’s story and God’s purposes. Too often people feel like living a life aligned with God’s purposes is too difficult to grasp, so John developed Seed as a vehicle to help give people the agency, support, resources, networks and confidence to create a new chapter to their stories. His hope and prayer is that Seed will help many to step into their God-given purpose, for the sake of the world and the glory of God. Prior to founding Seed John was engaged in working for social change as National Director of Micah Challenge Australia for almost 6 years.

Welcome to Get On Purpose, the podcast to get clear on what matters to you, get moving and get results. I’ll start with full disclosure - I’m far from perfect and not always on purpose. But when my life was the best it always had purpose. This podcast will consist of a mixture of storying telling, hard data and questions you want answered on how to live on life on purpose.  It will be just like two mates having a chat over coffee together. In this first episode I introduce you to some of the key concepts that have helped me to live a life on purpose.   I share the importance of walking through open doors with the right intentions and discussing the turns we do or do not take in life, whether they are good ‘right turns’ or too many of the wrong ‘left turns’. Today’s Get on Purpose Action (GOPA): Reflect on the best right hand turn you have taken in your life and what were the components of that turn?
