Free Full Moon Yoga Class: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/june2025Enroll in the Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training https://www.quietmind.yoga/yttIt is June 9th, 2025 and that Yang energy is coming on pretty strong. You feel it? Maybe you're seeing it in world events. Maybe you're feeling it in your body or your relationships. Personally, I've been riding that Mars and Aries wave with a lot of energy, creativity, and productivity—especially since I've got a lot of Aries in my chart. But wherever Mars is in your chart, you're going to feel it. That's why I always say: know your birth chart. You can get it free at quietmindastrology.com, and start to understand exactly where these transits are showing up for you.This week, we're coming off a series of major planetary shifts, and the only major transit now is the Full Moon in Jyeshta Nakshatra in Scorpio on June 10th (technically just past midnight PT). So it's a powerful moment for completion, culmination, and deep integration. In this episode, I go deep into how to work with this energy—because it's intense. Scorpio is ruled by Mars, and Mars is conjunct Ketu all through June and July, which adds this edge of heat, volatility, and potential for big transformation or big blowups.Jyeshta energy is great for protection, responsibility, deep research, and spiritual inquiry. It's the energy of going beyond surface-level distractions to get to the core of things—whether that's your yoga practice, your relationship dynamics, or the truths you're uncovering in meditation. And if you're seeing stuff in the news, or having strong reactions to others, I invite you to pause and ask: What is this showing me about myself? That's a very Jyeshta question—going into the shadows, not looking away.But there's a dark side too—manipulation, secrecy, control, infidelity, overindulgence. This isn't a week to bury your head in the sand. But it's also not a week to rush into intense conversations either—Mars and Ketu energy can explode if not directed intentionally. Instead, I encourage you to journal, reflect, and take a beat before confronting anything high-stakes. This is not the time for passive energy—it's time for action, but action with clarity.If you're feeling extra sensitive—especially around emotions or hormonal shifts—that's normal too. The Moon in Scorpio brings that deep emotional undercurrent to the surface. So be gentle, but firm. This is a great week for movement, physical activity, deep house cleaning, and focused work. Not so great for escapism, numbing out, or spiritual bypassing.Also! I'm offering a free live Full Moon yoga class on Tuesday, June 10. We'll do movement, meditation, and reflection to help work with this energy in the body. You'll find the link to register in the show notes. Come join us—no cost, just an opportunity to channel all this intensity into clarity.And if you're hearing this before Friday, June 13th, you've got just a few days left to join the Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training. This is the 9th time I'm offering it and I've gone through and completely revised the whole thing. We go into 108 asanas, essential pranayama, mantra, mudra, functional anatomy, and everything you need to become a confident, skillful teacher—or to deepen your own practice. Even if you don't think you'll teach, it's a profound growth process.

Enrollment is open for one more week to the Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training at https://www.quietmind.yoga/ytt Overview (00:00)In this episode, I share about the rare astrological alignments happening in 2025–2026 and how they haven't happened since 597 BCE, 258 CE, and 1171 CE—times that brought massive cultural and spiritual transformation. I talk about how these past cycles were times of collapse and realignment, where the soul was forced to let go of structures and titles and instead return to truth and purpose. These pivotal times offer us a choice: align with dharma or cling to the drama. I also offer practices for how to navigate this era creatively and spiritually.Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu are creating a significant transit that occurs in approximately 900-year cyclesCompared 2020 transit to the 1373 transit that coincided with the Black PlagueHistorical Patterns and Collapse (01:33 - 04:44)Major theme: 'The soul survives the collapse'597 BC: Babylon Empire took over Jerusalem, destroyed temples, ended monarchy258 CE: Roman Empire fractured, currency collapsed, Christians persecuted1171: English invasion of Ireland, end of Islamic rule, shifts in European power2025: Predicted massive changes in structures and systems due to AISpiritual Realignment (04:44 - 07:44)Historical examples showed spiritual adaptation after systemic collapseJudaism transformed beyond temples to prayer and texts after 597 BCIn 2025, people will need to reevaluate spiritual paths and systemic structuresSaturn in Pisces represents restructuring of spiritual boundariesKetu in Leo represents dissolving of ego and challenging leadershipInnovation Through Pressure (07:44 - 13:28)Historical examples of innovation born from necessity during times of change597 BC: Judaism adapted by compiling teachings into texts258 CE: Christians created underground networks and house churches1171: Reform, trade and resilience evolved under political upheaval2025-2026: Predicted renaissance of creativity and innovation through AI toolsI've already been refining my own teaching materials and have found it super inspiring!️ Dharma vs. Drama (13:28 - 18:16)Central message: Choose alignment (dharma) over drama during times of changeViktor Frankl's book title 'Nevertheless Say Yes to Life' is a great example of this energy.Ego-led rulers historically fell during these transitsStructures built on ego will likely change in 2025-2026Dharmic living (alignment) produces flow and synchronicity, like being in an aligned yoga pose.Adharmic living (misalignment) produces tension and frustration, like being misaligned in a yoga pose.

This is one of the most auspicious weeks of the whole year — a very special sacred day is happening alongside a New Moon and an exalted Moon.The week kicks off with the New Moon in Bharani Nakshatra in Aries — a fresh start, new beginnings, and a great time for planting seeds. Both literally and metaphorically. Planting seeds, cutting hair, setting intentions — it's all extremely favorable under this New Moon.But the big event this week is Akshaya Tritiya on Wednesday, April 30th — considered the most auspicious day of the entire year in the Vedic tradition. Whatever you do on this day is believed to have infinite blessings going forward. It's a powerful day for donation, service, and setting intentions for the kind of life you want to create.I encourage you to use this energy intentionally:✨ Want more prosperity? Donate or serve others.✨ Want more freedom? Give yourself spaciousness that day.✨ Want more self-care? Schedule a massage, a nourishing meal, a day of relaxation.I'll walk you through a simple Ideal Life Visualization practice you can do this week. Just 10 minutes to imagine waking up in your dream life: where you are, who you're with, what you do throughout your day. This practice changed my life — it took years, but I eventually manifested a life even better than what I visualized: living by the ocean in Mexico, doing work I love with amazing people like you.The Moon will also be exalted in Rohini Nakshatra on April 29th — a double dose of fertile, creative, nurturing energy. It's a beautiful window to do self-care, create art, spend time in nature, romance, music, and sensory nourishment.There's a lot of dreamy Pisces energy this week too: Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Saturn, and Rahu are all still in Pisces. Perfect for imagination, spiritual exploration, and dreamwork. Pay attention to your dreams this week — even the ones that seem random might have profound messages. (I'll share my best tip for recording and interpreting your dreams easily using ChatGPT!)Plus, we're nearing some major cosmic shifts:Jupiter is wrapping up its transit through Taurus.Rahu and Ketu are about to change signs too.We're ending the cycle of Ketu in Virgo and Rahu in Pisces, which means now is a time to review what you've learned about spiritual surrender and releasing control.Mars is still debilitated in Cancer — not the best time for pushing yourself physically to extremes but a great time for nurturing, protection, and service. Therapeutic yoga, massage, volunteering — these things are beautifully supported now.And Pluto in Capricorn continues to ask us to transform the deep structures of our lives. I'll share why working on your subconscious beliefs now is incredibly potent — and how astrology, yoga, family constellations, and therapy can support this inner transformation.Five Key Quotes from the Episode:

Happy September! August was a deeply transformative month, where many of us encountered significant emotional shifts. With Mercury retrograding from Leo to Cancer, we moved from the confident, authoritative energy of Magha into the introspective and intense realm of Aslesha. This transition brought up vulnerabilities and hidden emotions that needed to be addressed. It was a time of deep emotional healing, where many found themselves releasing old wounds and uncovering layers of pain that had been buried beneath the surface. This journey wasn't just about revisiting old ideas; it was about diving deep into the subconscious and bringing to light aspects of ourselves that were previously hidden. The energy of Aslesha, symbolized by the Kundalini serpent, urged us to confront these hidden parts of ourselves, pushing us to feel our emotions fully in order to heal them. For many, this process involved confronting insecurities, fears, and anxieties that had been lying dormant. Whether you felt the intensity of these energies or experienced them more subtly, August was a month where deep emotional work was done. The challenges and emotional releases that occurred set the stage for the new beginnings we're stepping into now in September. As we move forward, there's still time to continue this healing process, integrating the lessons and insights gained during this transformative period. I also want to say a big congratulations to everyone who joined the Fall 2024 Vedic Astrology Mentorship! Class is underway now and we have an amazing class of students from all levels of astrology experience. The Retrograde energy was really fun for me to go back over the training and make tons of improvements.

Join the waitlist for the next Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training at https://www.quietmind.yoga/ytt How do you know if you're making a decision from intuition, or if you're making a decision from overthinking This is a common question I hear and one of the most important things to address on a spiritual path. Intuition is that quiet, calm voice inside you. It's consistent and feels right, guiding you towards decisions that really resonate with who you are. Overthinking, on the other hand, is noisy, chaotic, and leaves you feeling anxious. It's that mental chatter that makes it hard to trust yourself. When you're caught up in overthinking, your mind is spinning with doubts and fears, making it tough to hear your intuition. Yoga and meditation are game-changers for quieting your mind and tuning into your intuition. Practices like asana (yoga poses), pranayama (breath control), and dharana (focused concentration) are super effective for calming your mind and bringing you back to your center. With regular practice, you'll start to notice the difference between those anxious thoughts and the calm, steady voice of your intuition. In yoga, we talk about cultivating sattva—the quality of purity and balance. Living a sattvic life means eating clean, spending time in nature, and doing things that bring you mental and emotional clarity. By cutting back on things that create inertia (tamasic energy) or agitation (rajasic energy), you make room for your intuition to come through more clearly. Staying grounded is key to keeping your energy stable and your intuition strong. Simple practices like walking barefoot on the earth or sitting quietly on the ground can make a huge difference. When you're grounded, you're more present and less likely to get lost in your thoughts. Grounded decisions are slow, steady, and feel solid—just like the roots of a tree. We live in a world that's always noisy, so carving out time for silence and stillness is crucial. Whether it's through meditation or just sitting in nature, these quiet moments help your mind settle so your intuition can rise to the surface. Some of my best ideas and insights have come from simply sitting in silence by the ocean or in a quiet space.

Eclipse Season happens every six months, and it's a major portal of transformation and growth. But what is it really all about? Every six months, I get lots of questions about what the Eclipse means, so let's dive deep into this!

Astrology is all about understanding change. Change in the transits, in your dashas, and, of course, in all areas of your life. In many episodes, I talk about the importance of the inner work of self awareness, reflection and meditation to best navigate these changes. In this episode I guide you through a simple meditation to get present to what is happening now and needed in your present moment experience. Every time you do this meditation will be different, because life is constant and continual change. This meditation is a way to come back to stillness and re-center amidst all the changes. This is almost the exact same practice I've come back to for over 10 years whenever I need to re center and get back to clarity. If you find it helpful, save this episode and come back to it regularly. If you find the podcast helpful leave a rating and review. Thanks for listening!

Join the waitlist for the next Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training at ⁠⁠http://www.quietmind.yoga/ytt⁠⁠ A fun way to use my weekly podcasts is to go back to previous episodes and reflect on how the transits have played out for you I don't claim to be a psychic or have all the answers, but I have been doing this work for 18+ years and love the research and organization side of astrology. If you notice that more unfavorable expressions of a transit are playing out for you, it's a great warning sign to redirect your energy to take action towards the more favorable expressions of that transit. I share some examples in the new podcast. Like this: Rahu is in Pisces all of 2024 and many planets will be in Pisces soon. The negative side of all this Pisces energy could be that you become too dreamy, unrealistic and irresponsible. You could say "I want to write a song" and then do nothing to make it happen. That's a vision, but it's an incomplete vision. A favorable expression of all this Pisces energy is to have a more complete vision. The way an architect has a complete vision before a building begins construction. So you might say "I want to write a song that's inspired by x, y and z songs, about x topic, in x style" etc, and now you have a much clearer vision, and the path to make it a reality. In this way, anytime you notice more unfavorable sides of transits playing out, or unfavorable aspects of your chart, or the dasha you're in, this is how you can completely change your trajectory and create more positive outcomes. Simply getting clear on the more favorable expression, then taking steps and actions in that direction. This is especially important this week, because... The week ahead is a powerful time to set intentions and create a new, clear vision for your life. If part of your vision includes learning deeper yoga practices, you'll definitely want to join the waitlist for the next Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training! I often say yoga and yogic practices are a necessary prerequisite for learning astrology. Yoga teaches you how to work with energy, regulate your nervous system, and clear your mind. Then, in astrology, you observe patterns and are able to make predictions. It starts with a well cared for body and a clear mind. This will be my 8th time leading my online Teacher Training program, and it will start in the next month! More details coming soon.

Mindful New Year opens for enrollment on Monday! Join the waitlist / sign up at mindfulnewyear.com This week I was part of an intensive myofascial therapy training here in Oaxaca, Mexico. It was powerful, healing work, and one of my favorite experiences as a student in some time. I've been both a student and facilitator for countless containers like this over the years and in this episode I share about why I think these kinds of containers are one of the most essential parts of personal growth work. Every week here on the podcast I talk about aligning with the transits and making life changes. We all have desires and intentions of things we'd like to do, who we'd like to be and what we'd like to have. But the process from point A to point B with these things can be unclear and difficult to navigate on our own. A safe, well held container often allows you to do get these results on a deeper level, safely, more sustainably, and without the years of time and effort it would take trying to do it all on your own. I've been fortunate to work with many incredible facilitators over the years and see that any result I want in my life has likely been achieved in some form by someone else, and by working with them, it becomes inevitable that I will have similar results and experiences. I offer this now in containers like the Mindful New Year workshop, the Vedic Astrology Mentorship and the Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training. A container could be a few hours, a few days, weeks or months or even a lifetime. It works because you have a space to navigate all the stuff that is in the way of having the result or experience you want. The lack of knowledge, the fears, the incorrect assumptions, etc. And it's all guided by someone who has been in those same places on their journey. I share much more in this week's episode, as well as the major transits happening this week, including: Sun, Nov 26 - Jupiter Retrograde in Ashwini (Star of Healing) (5wks Retrograde, 5wks Direct, then onto Bharani) Sun, Nov 26 - Mercury in Moola (The Star of Roots) (13 days) Mon, Nov 27 - Full Moon in Taurus in Rohini Nakshatra Tue, Nov 28 2:59 PM Ketu in Virgo (18 months) in Chitra

Whenever people ask me what studio to check out in Austin, Texas, I always recommend Practice Yoga on the East side. Rey Cardenas is the co-founder of Practice which recently celebrated it's 10 year anniversary. If you follow Rey or Practice on Instagram, you'll see he shares a lot about a unique take on philosophy from Rudolf Steiner, that I haven't seen from other yoga teachers. We talk about: - Rey's journey of co-founding a yoga studio in Austin, Texas, after facing challenges with his previous teaching position. Rey shared his experience of transitioning from being a professional poker player to becoming a yoga teacher and the process of finding a location for his studio. - The process of opening a yoga studio, including finding a vacant building, partnering with someone who had complementary skills, utilizing social media marketing, creating memes(!) and choosing a donation-based model. - Rey's process of finding a more balanced approach to yoga philosophy, moving away from an indulgent sort of philosophy towards a more grounded perspective that Rey found in Rudolf Steiner's work. - How to integrate different perspectives and practices into yoga teachings. They also explored the connection between Western and Eastern spirituality and the importance of awakening the chakras. - Rey gives a great introduction to the teachings of Rudolf Steiner, including his embodiment system, and the importance of the thought realm in human freedom. They also discussed how these concepts can be integrated into yoga and are integrated into the teacher trainings at Practice Yoga in Austin.

Diana Hernandez is an international actress, TV host, and content creator with a highly successful and engaged Instagram audience. I met Diana while she was traveling through Oaxaca, Mexico and thought she would be a great guest to have on the podcast to talk about social media marketing and building an authentic online business. In this episode we talk about: Diana's decision to create a free masterclass on teaching influencers to make money online after receiving numerous inquiries from friends and followers about how to get brand deals and travel for free. Diana shares her journey of transitioning from a TV host to building her own social media presence and becoming her own boss. She emphasizes the importance of defining a niche, creating a media kit, collaborating with influencers, and the misconception that a large number of followers is necessary to make a full-time income on social media. How Diana was able to create high-quality content for her YouTube channel using just her iPhone. Diana discusses her Instagram page and the editing programs she uses, as well as her free masterclass where she teaches people how to make $10,000 a month online. Diana discusses camera confidence, storytelling, creating a home studio, monetization, and technology needed to run an online business. She also emphasizes the importance of authenticity, consistency, engagement, and careful selection of brand deals for influencers. The importance of authenticity in yoga teaching and content creation. They also talk about the need to choose sponsorships and partnerships that align with one's values and interests to maintain authenticity and avoid losing followers. How Diana manages her time and energy as an influencer and content creator. Diana shared that she stopped saying yes to events and collaborations that didn't align with her brand, set boundaries, and prioritized her career, while still allowing herself to have fun on the weekends. ------------ If you enjoy this podcast leave a review and share with a friend Join the waitlist for the next Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training at ⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmind.yoga/ytt⁠⁠⁠⁠ Practice with me at ⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmind.yoga⁠⁠⁠ Follow me on Instagram at ⁠⁠http://www.instagram.com/quietmind.yoga⁠ Learn Vedic Astrology, the sister science of yoga, with me at http://www.quietmindastrology.com Keywords: marketing, business, spirituality, yoga philosophy, asana practice, meditation techniques, anatomy and physiology, pranayama (breathing techniques), teaching methodology, yoga history, adjustments and modifications, Sanskrit, chakras and energy centers, Ayurveda and yoga, ethics and professionalism, sequencing and class planning, business of yoga, and self-care and self-study, equity, yoga therapy, community, yoga teacher training, ytt.

Kate Lombardo's influence as a yoga instructor spans the globe, touching tens of thousands of students internationally. For almost a decade, Kate has been teaching and leading training programs through her award-winning yoga studios before expanding virtually through YogaRenew-- the world's leading online yoga teacher training program. She is an expert in vinyasa yoga sequencing and balances that with teaching yin classes, plus she can talk about the business of yoga all day long. She answers to many titles-- Yoga Director, CEO, CMO, Speak, Leader, Writer-- but most importantly... Mama. Kate primarily teaches online and in Hoboken, NJ where she lives with her husband and two children. 0:00 Kate and Jeremy had a conversation about Kate's role as the Yoga Director and CMO of Yoga Renew, an online Yoga Teacher training program. They discussed Kate's expertise in sequencing and helping yoga teachers with their business, as well as the opportunities and shifts in the yoga industry due to the pandemic. 5:03: Kate and Jeremy discussed the growth and reimagining of yoga teacher training and teaching, with Kate expressing her opinion that there is still room for more yoga teachers and trainings worldwide, especially in areas where yoga is not yet accessible. They also talked about the evolution of the path for new teachers, highlighting the importance of social media and online platforms in connecting with potential students and growing as a teacher. 9:46 Kate and Jeremy discuss the importance of using social media, specifically Instagram, to connect with people and build relationships in the yoga community. They emphasize the value of authenticity, serving others, and focusing on relationship building rather than solely on follower count or algorithm tricks. 14:21 Jeremy and Kate discussed the importance of authenticity and real connections on social media and in online courses. They also advised starting with organic marketing before investing in paid advertising to ensure that the audience is interested and engaged. 19:27 Kate and Jeremy discuss the effectiveness of running ads for free offerings rather than paid products. They emphasize the importance of building relationships through email marketing and learning about business in order to create a successful career as a yoga teacher. 23:52 Kate and Jeremy discussed the process of transitioning to full-time yoga teaching. They emphasized the importance of having a realistic understanding of financial needs, starting with a side job, gradually building up teaching opportunities, and acquiring business skills to eventually make the shift to teaching yoga full-time. 28:09 Kate and Jeremy discuss the importance of finding one's area of expertise as a yoga teacher and the value of deepening knowledge and experience in that specific area. They emphasize the need to teach what one has personally embodied and caution against teaching topics or poses that one has not fully experienced or understood. 36:26 Jeremy and Kate discussed the importance of being knowledgeable in certain areas as yoga teachers, while also acknowledging their limitations and being willing to seek help and resources when needed. They also expressed their interest in exploring new topics such as sequencing and sound healing, and the potential for collaboration and teamwork in their yoga businesses. - If you enjoy this podcast leave a review and share with a friend - Join the waitlist for the next Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmind.yoga/ytt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Practice with me at ⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmind.yoga⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Follow me on Instagram at ⁠⁠⁠http://www.instagram.com/quietmind.yoga⁠⁠ - Follow my work in Vedic Astrology at http://www.quietmindastrology.com Keywords: spirituality, yoga philosophy, asana practice, meditation techniques, anatomy and physiology, pranayama (breathing techniques), teaching methodology, yoga history, adjustments and modifications, Sanskrit, chakras and energy centers

Kristine Weber, MA, C-IAYT, eRYT500 is a leading world authority on the neuroscientific benefits of slow, mindful movement and an advocate for the use of these practices as a solution to the healthcare crisis. She is leading the charge to get slow, mindful practices to people who desperately need them through her Subtle® Yoga Revolution series of online courses and trainings for yoga teachers – which have been praised by thousands all over the world. She recently wrote a great article in response to Dr Andrew Huberman and his Huberman Labs podcast. I invited her on to chat about it. Here's how her blog starts: “Dr. Huberman I'd love to talk to you about this [breathing] as a yoga therapist and armchair neuroscience geek who has spent more than a decade curating the research. I love your work and I realize scientific inquiry is by its very nature reductive. But you have taken an intricate and sophisticated ancient system that confers self-regulation – ethics + asana + pranayama + meditation – and reduced it to “box breathing” here. This is deeply problematic for a number of reasons. Self-regulation via yoga practices is basically achieved in four steps..." Read her blog here: ⁠https://subtleyoga.com/dear-dr-huberman/⁠ We discuss this in depth in this episode. 7:30 Jeremy and Kristine discussed the reductive default of defining yoga as solely physical postures (asana) and emphasized the importance of incorporating the ethical principles (yamas and niyamas) of yoga for self-regulation and moral cognition. They expressed interest in exploring the intersection of neuroscience and these ethical concepts in future conversations 16:08 Jeremy and Kristine discussed the importance of practicing the principles of yoga in a progressive manner, even though they don't have to be followed strictly in order. They also touched on the benefits of memorizing and teaching the yamas and niyamas, as well as the potential energetic and physiological effects of yoga postures beyond just stretching and strengthening. 26:30 Kristine and Jeremy discussed the emerging scientific understanding of the biofield and its connection to the subtle body in yoga. They explored research on the morphogenic field, physical correlates of the chakras, and the potential for deeper understanding of the mind-body connection through studying the biofield. 35:18 Kristine and Jeremy discuss the potential intersection of science, quantum physics, and the biofield in relation to yoga and meditation. They emphasize the importance of respecting the rich tradition of yoga and its vastness, while cautioning against oversimplifying practices like pranayama. 43:18 Jeremy and Kristine discussed the importance of understanding that not every breathing practice is suitable for everyone, as our breath is influenced by our personal history and survival patterns. They also emphasized the need for repetition over time to bring about lasting changes in traits and the importance of exploring and studying Pranayama for a deeper understanding of breathwork.

Todd Norian is an international yoga teacher with 40+ years of experience. By steadfastly following his heart, Todd has lived an uncommon life: living like a monk for 13 years at the then-ashram Kripalu in Massachusetts; having an intense spiritual awakening that landed him for a brief stay in a psychiatric hospital; and overcoming the heartbreak of being spiritually betrayed by beloved teachers -- not once, but twice. We talk about the symbolism and philosphy of Tantra yoga and how to apply these powerful teachings to your life. Here are some of the topics we covered: - The deep symbolism of the Shiva Naturaja dance and those dancing Shiva statues we see so commonly in yoga and spiritual communities - The renunciate path and how it differs from the non-dual Shiva Shakta Tantra path. - The differences between classical yoga and Tantra, - How Tantra teaches to embrace life and see nature as an extension of spirit. - The paradox of non-duality and duality in the Advaita and Tantra traditions. - Todd shares about his spiritual awakening while living at an ashram. - Todd shares what it was like to experience scandal and betrayal, leading him to develop his own form of yoga that integrates body, mind, and heart. - - The importance of recognizing limitations as a path to liberation - The role of desire in Tantra, and how to discover what the heart most deeply desires. - How to integrate both the light and dark aspects of life through spiritual practice.

Join the FREE Live Workshop: Thrive Teaching Online at www.thriveteachingonline.com/workshop One of the most common questions I hear from yoga teachers is "how do i grow my classes?" Should you focus on Instagram, or YouTube or something else? In the Thrive Teaching Online Workshop I'll share a much more empowering question to ask yourself to reliably grow your audience every day, with way less effort, even when you're not teaching! Today I address the question of "what do you do when your class attendance is dropping." How do you show up when nobody shows up? I encourage you to think outside of the box of weekly drop in classes, so everything I share here will apply to classes, but also workshops, courses and other offers that I teach step by step inside of the Thrive Teaching Online coaching program. Topics Covered In This Episode 1 - Why this Bhagavad Gita quote is so relevant to your business and marketing: “You have the right to work, but never to the fruit of the work. You should never engage in action for the sake of reward, nor should you long for inaction.” 2 - The common mistake of comparing your internal experience to someone else external results. Comparing your internal thought process and behind the scenes to their likes, comments, views and shares without knowing how they got to those results. Limiting Belief: "If I want growth like successful teachers, I need to model their __________ The Truth: "If I want growth like successful teachers, I need to model their ___________ 3 - Why so many teachers fall into the "Homer Simpson With A Shotgun" method of marketing Limiting Belief: "People aren't coming to my classes because _____________" The Truth: "People come to my classes when _________" 4 - Why you can't hide it if you start marketing from desperation. Limiting Belief: "If this class grows *then* I'll ________" The Truth: "When I know what result I want to have, I can ________ and getting that result will become inevitable." 5 - The pains of marketing from obligation Limiting Belief: "I *need* to be on Instagram" The Truth: "I can _________ my _______________!"

As yoga teachers we all experience doubts, fears, setbacks and obstacles. That is unavoidable, and the more you teach, the more you'll experience these challenges.

I'll share examples of how I've used this as well as teachers in the Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training, so that you can better live in alignment and integrity with your unique gifts and purpose.

Get the free guide of essential cues at http://www.quietmind.yoga/cues Modern life pulls our energy in a million directions. Overwhelm, burn out, feeling distracted and scattered are normal side effects of living our modern fast paced, mostly online lives. I believe yoga and particularly asana practice has become so popular in recent years not because of the common perception that people are focused on their outward appearance, but because asana is an invitation away from the noise into the clear, calm center underneath all the noise. In this episode I share a personal experience of realizing just how ungrounded I was and just how much asana could be the thing to help get me back 'down to earth' and grounded. I'll share three things that asana provides that is unlike nearly any other physical movement or practice and why it can be the perfect remedy to our modern lifestyles. I'll share about integrating the ancient source texts of yoga with modern neuroscience and understanding of trauma informed embodiment practices. This helps make asana far more than just a performance of flexibility, but an opportunity to be centered and embodied moment to moment.

Why do you practice postures? Today and over the next 3 episodes let's explore what it really is that we are doing when we do yoga. Is it to reach a goal of flexibility? Is it to be present in the body? Is it to tune out from life for an hour in a day? What if all perspectives can be valid and appropriate and the real aim is to develop your inner authority that knows which perspective is in alignment for you? I'll share insights from all the way back at my very first yoga class and how that continues to shape my practice and perspective today, as well as thoughts from my mentors, historical teachers, the source texts of yoga and modern science.

The Equinox means we are now in a new season of the year and this is an important time because Ayurveda teaches that “all diseases begin in the transition of the seasons.” This week is especially important to prioritize your healthy habits. You can watch the replay of the free workshop: Ayurveda For The Spring Season now at http://www.quietmind.yoga/springworkshop One of the most important things we can do is create a morning routine. Tongue scraping and drinking water for your dosha is one of the best things you can do to start the day and they are the two most essential parts of my morning practice that I have kept over the years. I give a walkthrough of this in the free workshop and explain a bit more in this week’s podcast. This Sunday we have a Full Moon in Virgo in the nakshatra of Hasta. The full moon each month is a time of reflection, completion of a cycle and celebration. The nakshatra / division of the sky known as Hasta means “hand” and is symbolized as a hand. Our hands are what make us human and hold many significant symbolic meanings. The 28 joints of all the fingers represent the 28 day lunar cycle of each month. The 5 fingers together represent the 5 elements and the 5 senses. The 4 fingers represent the 4 aims of life: dharma, artha, kama and moksha with the thumb being our ego / identity / free will to choose how to engage with the karmas that play out in our lifetime. Vedic Astrology helps us see what karmas are playing out and how. If you want to know how this effects you personally look to which house Virgo occupies in your birth chart. Those ares of your life are the ones to reflect on and celebrate. Don’t know your birth chart?

Reflect on this past month and how you have grown in relationships with Venus being exalted. Reflect on how your routines and disciplines have evolved with Saturns strong influence over the past year. Rejoice and celebrate who you have become and who you are becoming as we move into a new phase of hope, optimism and expansion in April.

What makes a YTT stand out? Why would you pick one over another? With 17+ years in wellness I have learned what makes an exceptional Teacher Training and that is why I initially created the Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training in 2019. Today I share some of my absolute favorite and most essential insights from the whole 200 hour program - from anatomy, to philosophy to ayurveda to trauma informed teaching and everything in between. I cover a lot of ground and share how I weave it into classes and why it is so essential that we as teachers include all of these core competencies in our teachers so we can best serve each student we work with. I share about my lineage of teachers from Krishnamacharya to the source texts of 1750s BCE to modern exercise science and kinesiology. It all weaves together in the beautiful space of practicing yoga and meditation. I share a quote from a QYTT Grad Patricia about why there can never be “too many yoga teachers” and why there has never been a better time to become a teacher than right now. I also touch on the business of teaching as I've learned from the lead sales training for Tony Robbins and other great teachers outside of the yoga realm. The QYTT starts next week!

Tue Mar 16th: Venus, the planet of love, relationships, harmony, art and beauty enters the sign of Pisces. Pisces represents imagination, dreams, intuition and is an indicator of moksha (liberation). This is known as a Malavya Yoga and is the highest expression of Venus qualities. As always, all relationships start with your relationship to yourself and your source. Tuesday, March 16 to Friday April 9 is a time to nourish your relationships and use your intuition to create a beautiful vision for your life. Keep a journal near your bed and write about your dreams during this time. Trust your intuit that or consider using a dream interpretation site as your subconscious can bring you powerful insights at this time. There is a powerful ‘dream alchemy’ process i did years ago that was life changing for me. I’ll share all about it in today’s episode. Sat Mar 20: The equinox this weekend is the time of day and night being equal length. A shift into a new season, new beginnings and new opportunities. What have you learned from this season since the solstice? What will you keep and what will you let go of? This is different for each hemisphere so I’ll share yoga and pranayama practices you can do to align with this shifting of the seasons.

This week marks one year of lockdowns and the dominance of Saturn. The restrictions, limitations and lockdowns are starting to let up as we finally move into a new energy this week. On March 10th there is a rare occurrence of 5 planets in Capricorn followed by 5 planets in Aquarius the very next day. A noticeable shift out of Capricorns earthy heaviness into the idealistic, progressive air element of Aquarius. Things literally start to lighten up. Restrictions loosen. Fear becomes less predominant in society and hope and optimism start to increase leading to Jupiter’s move into Aquarius on April 5th where this shift will fully be felt. We end this week with a new moon in Aquarius on Saturday the 13th and the Sun in Pisces on Sunday the 14th. With next week’s Spring Equinox we are really moving forward into a new season of life. This week’s last big push of Capricorn energy will return to a degree in the fall but after early next year we move into a totally new phase. So this week is the time to assess your foundations, your routines, schedules, habits, structures in your life and patch things up. There is huge potential, possibility and power in starting something new this month. In your personal practice, this Is a powerful month for alternate nostril breathing pranayama to help direct and focus the air energy of Aquarius. This will help you hone your ideas, thoughts and put them into actions that are in alignment with your big picture vision. I’ll share all the details of how to do this in today’s episode.

As we lead up to the next Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training I'm sharing some of my favorite classes, starting today. Today's practice is a Gentle class for the whole body where I teach what I feel is one of the most important aspects of practice: Nervous system regulation. Being able to be more active when needed and more relaxed when needed. Life is full of ups and downs and yoga practice can help us find our center within it all. This class shares some ways to cultivate that ability. Recommended props: 1 blanket. Enjoy this podcast? Leave a review in Apple Podcasts or send me a message on Instagram.

One of the most common questions that new teachers have his “am I doing this pose correctly?” This is a great question and really important to know if you're going to teach that pose. What do you look for? What should it feel like in your body? Is there really even just one correct way to do a pose? There are some important questions to consider when we're talking about a posture. First of all, whose standards are you following? Some lineages of yoga say that you have to do chair pose with your knees together and arms overhead. Other lineages say that you should adapt each pose to the individual student. Which one is correct? Is there a place for both? The word alignment gets thrown around a lot in the yoga context, but what does it really mean? It's really understand the postures we need to answer these questions and decide on what standards we are following and how we are choosing to define ‘in-alignment’ vs ‘out of alignment.’ Often these definitions are not as clearly defined as you might think. How can we define alignment? How can we know if a pose is correct or incorrect? Is that even a context that we want to frame our teaching in? I'll share 5 questions to consider that I teach about in my Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training to help you feel confident practicing and teaching all of the most common poses. Once you understand how to apply this to one pose you start to see how it applies to all poses. Whose standards are you following? How do you define Alignment? What are the common misalignments in this pose? What anatomical actions are happening in the pose? What are the possible progressions of this pose? These are things I weave into everything I teach in the Teacher Training, the Quietmind Yoga Podcast and the Quietmind Yoga Membership.

This month we have 8 significant transits, starting the shift out of the strong Capricorn energy of last month and the past year, moving towards the Aquarius energy that will be predominant after 2022, that shift starts this month. Mid month Venus becomes exalted in Pisces, increasing love and harmony in relationships. We end the month with Mercury going into Pisces where it is considered debilitated, but this is not so bad, Einstein even has this in his birth chart and I’ll share some of the ways he worked with improving his intellect and communication that we can learn from this month.

Today I share a simple 20 minute meditation on the most important part of yoga practice: yogic breathing. This is great for beginners or anyone who wants to deepen the fundamentals of their practice. Yogic breathing may seem really simple - and it is - but It can have profound benefits. The average person breathes 12-20 breaths a minute. These are often shallow and emphasize the upper lungs. Breathing that way creates a Sympathetic Nervous System response - a stress response. Just by how you breathe! With yogic breathing we slow this down and breathe deeper into the lower belly using the diaphragm. As a former singer I learned this is where the power to sustain your breath comes from. This slower, deeper belly breathing also creates a Parasympathetic Nervous System response - a rest and relax response - which was very helpful to come back to throughout the week Ive had with power outages, water being shut off and food shortages here in Texas. I share more about that here and on the Quietmind Astrology podcast (link below). Enjoy this podcast? Leave a review in Apple Podcasts or send me a message on Instagram.

Well, last week sure was a turning point in the year! The weather emergency and blackout here in Texas left me and millions without power or water for days, hence the delay in this episode. I'll share the insights I learned about blackouts, our current Rahu/Ketu 18 month transit (and the fascinating Kala Sarpa Yoga we are in now) and how this surprisingly all related to the 1962 transit I mentioned last week. We have two significant transits this week, both on Saturday with Venus and Mercury. I'll share my insights and perspective from this roller coaster week and how we can make the most of all of this from a yogic, holistic and empowering perspective.

If you're going to teach a class or going to audition for a studio you might be feeling nervous or doubting yourself. I totally get it! I have experienced this too and I'll share my story of how I doubted myself at an audition and how it reinforced some really important lessons that I'll share with you today. I'll share the 5 things I find most helpful for memorizing sequences / preparing to teach classes. After teaching 5000+ classes I've made the mistake of going against all of these ideas at one time or another and found my classes to be far more effective when I approach them with these 5 things in mind.

The Quietmind Membership opens for one week only next week! http://www.quietmind.yoga/membership to join the waiting list. Today I share a major topic Im teaching inside the Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training. At the core of yoga philosophy is Samkhya philosophy -- a lesser known and far less practiced philosophy that includes an understanding of creation based on 2 qualities: parusha and prakriti (something and nothing), similar to yin and yang, stirha and sukha and other pairs of opposites. From them comes the 3 gunas: sattva, rajas and tamas which I will share about today. Learning these three qualities completely changed my approach to life and practice. Everything can be understood through these three qualities, making it an essential part of yoga philosophy. Excited to share all about it with you on today's episode!.

Early registration is open now for the Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training at http://www.quietmind.yoga/qcenroll - Get an extra 1-1 session when you signup before Sunday! One of the most popular episodes here was "How to Choose A Yoga Teacher Training" all the way back 20000 years ago in Sept 2019. So much has changed since then, and I've heard from students who are really disappointed with their newly online trainings. I decided to have my Yoga Teacher Trainings be online even before the pandemic because I have found it to be a better learning environment when done well. In this episode I'll share about these 15 questions to ask when choosing an online Teacher Training in 2020. Who is leading it? What is the schedule? What styles will I learn? Have they done it online before? What is the curriculum? Is it all just on Zoom? / Is there an online classroom? A FB Group? Do you get to practice teaching? Or just one curriculum? What accountability is there? Are there any extra costs? Is there any required reading? How much does it cost? Are there payment plans? What are the requirements for certification? Is it well organized and fun? Is there business training? What does my intuition say?

What can you expect? I'll share all about that today and why self care is the most important thing to focus on first and why many yoga teachers neglect this. I'll also share why 8 hour work days are not necessary or even effective for yoga teachers and how many hours I typically work in a day, and what I focus on. I'll address one of the more common mistakes I have seen among teacher that can lead to struggling to pay bills despite teaching all the time, and how I have created a life of only doing work I love while making a great living and being able to genuinely help others.

What do you do after yoga teacher training? How do you start teaching classes? Should you take more trainings? I sat down to discuss all of this with recent grad Allison Halley, who you heard on episode 17 "How to Know When You're Ready for Teacher Training." In the short time since then she started teaching weekly classes and is already near the completion of her second YTT with me through the Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training. What has been most helpful for her as a new teacher? What obstacles has she overcome as a new teacher? How did she build the confidence to create several blogs and online videos already since her training? Excited to share this awesome interview with you!

This also includes a preview of the Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training that is all online and starts next week! Learn more about the Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training here. Today I am sharing one of my favorite tools for applying astrology to your life. Best of all, It requires zero training and it’s super simple and fun to use. It’s part of a free app called Align27. I am not sponsored by them, I just love this app and wish it existed when I started learning astrology! I will show you step by step how to use this app to manage your energy throughout the day. Do you ever have moments where you feel the energy has just “shifted”? Do you ever feel full of energy some times, and depleted other times? This app factors in several Vedic Astrology calculations that have been used for thousands of years to give you a detailed graph for your energy throughout the day. It shows whether the overall day is a Green, Amber or Red day. It shows your most productive times, “golden moments,” and “silent moments.” The most interesting thing for me is when I DON’T think about the app, then use it to reflect on my day. I have experimented with this for the past 3 months and found it to be incredibly accurate and helpful. I’ll share how you can use this app to manage your energy and plan your day too!

I hope you are well and safe. Today’s episode is a grounding and centering practice to support you in regulating your nervous system during this uncertain time we are all experiencing with the unfortunate spread of Covid-19. From an Ayurvedic perspective we are experiencing a significant Vata dosha imbalance (change, fear, anxiety) and can balance this out by doing things that increase the Kapha dosha (earth, grounding, security) such as creating routines, eating grounding foods and doing practices like this. I believe we can all benefit from having the training and skills to regulate our nervous systems, especially in challenging, uncertain times. I hope this practice supports you in doing that so you can show up as a loving presence for others in your life.

This also includes a preview of the Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training - which is all online and currently open for enrollment.

As my teacher Libby would say "now, all previous teachings apply." This is an uncertain, disruptive time for us all over the world, and I hope you and your loved ones are well and staying safe. Many people are experiencing major losses and challenges with the spread of covid-19 and if you are not directly effected this an opportunity for you to apply all you have learned about yoga to be a loving presence for others and 'teach yoga' by how you show up for them. For those of you teaching in studios and in person - which is nearly all yoga teachers - you may be experiencing major transitions in your work. Studios are limiting class sizes and eliminating props. Corporate clients are now working remotely. How can you best navigate this in a traditionally in-person, service based industry? One thing I have done over the years is teach over video chat, and I am grateful to have that experience as I have been able to seamlessly transition into working with many of my clients this way. In today's episode I share how you can do the same TODAY with no prior experience and little to no costs. You just need 6 things to get started. Listen for more details.

What's it like to have JUST finished Yoga Teacher Training? On today's episode we'll talk about exactly that. I interviewed Allison Halley - who I have worked with 1-1 for several months - just days after she finished her first Teacher Training, She actually didn't take my training, and we'll discuss why. She addresses some of the most common questions I hear from students, and the questions that she had when she wasn't sure if she was ready to take a yoga teacher training. Allison has an amazingly optimistic, focused and inspiring mindset that shines in this interview - these are excellent qualities to for any teacher. In fact, in the 2 month since we recorded this interview Allison went from 'just graduated' to teaching TWO weekly classes! I'll definitely have her back in the future to discuss her quick growth, but you could get to know her much more because she has enrolled in my March 2020 Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training that is all online, and you could be her classmate! I'll share more details about this training in the weeks ahead, but for now you can sign up for my free upcoming workshop: 3 Mindset Shifts to Build Confidence in Teaching Yoga at http://www.quietmind.yoga/confidence - details coming soon.

Doors open 9/9/19 and you check it out at http://www.quietmind.yoga/ytt - if you're listening to this after that you can join the waiting list here: http://www.quietmind.yoga/ytt In todays practice we focus on supporting the immune system. The main way we effect the immune system in yoga is through the Prana - the life force / vitality / energy of the body. We effect this primarily with breathing, but also with foods we eat, sunlight, activities. Yoga in general will always help improve this, but today we will focus more directly on that aspect of practice. One of the keys is to take slower deeper breaths rather than quick short breaths, and I'll share why.

In modern discussion of yoga there is a lot of conflict about what is or isn't yoga. Now we have so many permutations, and so many people claiming their yoga is more authentic, who should we listen to? In this podcast I will go all the way back to the oldest written mention of the word yoga to explore it's definition and practice and how that applies to our modern, westernized approaches to yoga. I'll dive into one of my favorite sources of yogic wisdom, the Upanishads. A treasure trove of incredible teachings that are as relevant now as they were 2000+ years ago. Two of my favorite translation / commentaries on the Upanishads are this one by Eknath Eswaren and this one by Thomas Egenes. Both worth having in your library to review for years to come. I also mentioned a great documentary you can check out HERE that shows what practices that modern yogis are doing that were also practiced by the yogis of 2000+ years ago If you like learning yoga from the roots up then you will love the Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training. Doors open 9/9 and you can join the waiting list here. Can't make it this time? Next class will be in the Spring. Enjoying this podcast?
