Cette épisode reprend la vidéo diffusée en Premiere sur YouTube. J'y aborde la question du #metoo Yoga à travers les violences se*uelles perpétrées par certains "gurus" du Yoga, notamment Chodhoury Bikram (Bikram Yoga), Pattabhi Jois (Ashtanga Yoga) et ceux perpétrés dans la secte Agama. Je n'ai pas eu l'occasion d'aborder d'autres scandales tels que ceux concernant John Friend (Anusara Yoga) ou Rodney Yee qui montrent à quel point ces comportements sont répandus et profondément problématiques. Comment faire pour que ces abus cessent ? Comment revoir notre posture en tant que prof de Yoga ? Comment adapter notre manière d'interagir avec les élèves, notamment à travers les ajustements ? Ce sont aussi toutes ces questions que le mouvement #metoo yoga viennent poser.

Today's episode features my interview with Jennifer Lang. Her memoir, Places We Left Behind, is a marvel of brevity and form. It's the story of how one woman, a hybrid of American-French-Israeli identities, navigates cultural and religious differences with her husband over the course of three decades, as her family searches for what it means to find a sense of home.In our interview, Jennifer shares how she transformed a “long-winded, boring, and flat” 90,000-word draft into a concise and sharp 14,000-word memoir told through a fragmented structure—what she's calling a “memoir-in-miniature.” She also addresses the critical feedback from a developmental editor, which helped her uncover an innovative structure.Finally, we talk about writing about other”: the emotional and creative negotiations involved in writing about her husband and their marriage, revealing how this process has both challenged and strengthened their relationship.----------------------"I had a very traditional manuscript of over 90,000 words when all was said and done. And it was really long-winded and boring and flat, and I hated it…I hired a developmental editor who gave me a lot of feedback. And one of the last things she said was, put it away for a while. Just let all of this sink in. And I think that was the best advice she gave me."----------------------KEY TAKEAWAYS* Transformation Through Editing: Jennifer Lang's journey from a 90,000-word manuscript to a 14,000-word concise and effective memoir underscores the fact that it can take time to figure out to figure out your story, and that brevity can be a crucial factor to remember.* Cultural Identity and Belonging: The memoir reflects Jennifer's complex relationship with her Jewish identity and her experiences living in California, France, and Israel.* Marriage and Memoir Writing: Writing about others is one of the most fraught areas of memoir for a reason. And writing about intimate relationships requires especially careful consideration. In Jennifer's case, it ended up unexpectedly strengthening the bond with her husband.* Innovative Structure & Form: The fragmented, playful structure of Jennifer's memoir, with elements like strike-throughs and “chapterettes” as she likes to call them, adds a unique layer of engagement and depth to her storytelling.* Literary Community Engagement: Jennifer's work with the Israel Writer Studio highlights the importance of community in a place with fewer English-language writers.----------------------"The level of pain, trauma, loss is so beyond. I don't know how we're going to get out of it." —about the impact of Oct 7, 2023 on the Israeli psyche----------------------NOTABLE QUOTES"I have been writing around it for years, if not decades. I have been writing about longing, belonging, culture, language, community, other, and home. In short, in long, in essay, in short, memoir, in flash. I just kept going around and around and finally had time to figure out how to get through it." (0:02:50)"I really feel like the story of me bouncing between cultures starts way back. Like kindergarten way back." (0:03:46)"I think that when we write long or when we write without any kind of constraint, we are lazy with our word choice. And so putting the constraint on makes a writer understand that every word counts." (0:21:16)"If you're going to reveal a character's underbelly, you have to reveal your own. If you're going to fault a character for their flaw, you have to do the same for yourself." (0:24:01)"I think I did anything but make him a villain. I think in the end, it's like a love letter." (0:24:41)ABOUT TODAY'S GUESTJennifer Lang was born in the San Francisco Bay Area, lives in Tel Aviv, and runs Israel Writers Studio.

I believe the invitation of life is to become ourselves, live fully and freely, and then, if you are a student of yoga, to extend that full, free, safe living out to all beings everywhere. But how often do we get to see someone really do that?   Today I have a treat for you: a person who is doing just that. Becoming. My friend Miles Borrero (he/him) has survived fronting a Latin rock band, riding horses competitively, acting on various stages across the US, and nannying a six-year-old. He has been Catholic, Jewish, and a frequent guest at Krishna's house, and has lived life as a boy, a girl, a woman, a man, and something in between. Now a senior yoga teacher who leads retreats and trainings all over the world, Miles is passionate about dismantling the systems within ourselves that keep us small. And he has written a beautiful book called Beautiful Monster: A Becoming. The book reads like one long dharma talk, full of creative writing and yogic wisdom. In this episode you'll hear: how Miles was Rodney Yee's best student even though they never met why was it yoga teaching that really stuck for Miles, despite having so many jobs and creative endeavors  what it was like for Miles to teach in his native language after learning to teach yoga in English first all about Miles' teacher Raghunath and what Miles learned from him what changed in Miles'  asana practice after his top surgery and taking testosterone   Learn More From Miles: Website Chant Your Way to Freedom (Course) 100 YTT with Miles Miles Book, “Beautiful Monster:  A Becoming”

Introduced to the basic principles of Hatha Yoga by his father while growing up in Little Italy, it wasn't until his mid-twenties that Frank Mauro began exploring asana postures and the philosophical underpinnings of the practice. In the 1990s, New York was in its heady day with studios opening across the city and giving birth to a new generation of conscious and creative yoga teachers, including a young Frank Mauro. His curiosity and interest in yoga ultimately led Frank to his first teacher training with the internationally recognized Sivananda Yoga Center and then eventually with many world-renowned teachers including Richard Freeman, Rodney Yee, Eric Schiffmann, Judith Lasater, and later in Manhattan with Cyndi Lee at the Om Yoga Center. Frank currently teaches at NY Loves Yoga Studio in the upper West Side of Manhattan. https://www.nylovesyoga.com.

How do you treat your body? I was 11 when I started dieting and trying to change my size to fit into society. I didn't treat my body well for decades. Now I care about respecting my body and treating it with the love I feel for myself. What does that look like? For me it means eating healthy with less, poisonous refined sugar, building muscle at the gym, and doing yoga with a teacher that cherishes herself and spreads that love around. You can find me @iheartserin. I'd love to hear from you. Send me a message and I'll get back to you!

For Dennis Kerr, his military experience and yoga path have become intertwined over the last twenty years. Dennis enlisted in the Army in 2002 and went to Iraq where his path of yoga began after being inspired by the international bestseller, Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda, and his curiosity led him to Rodney Yee introduction to yoga videos while deployed. Soon after, the discipline of his military experience, musical background, and yoga practice all evolved together through the breath.

Rodney Yee is an internationally recognized yoga teacher, co-founder of Urban Zen Integrative Therapy (UZIT), and the author of two books: Yoga: The Poetry of the Body and Moving Toward Balance: 8 Weeks of Yoga with Rodney Yee. Rodney has also been featured in over 30 Yoga DVD titles and became an overnight sensation when he appeared on Oprah in 1999, selling 1 million videos the very next day. His connection with the Feathered Pipe Ranch runs deep, as he credits India Supera, Cree elder Pat Kennedy and other staff and teachers with his continued growth throughout the 15 years of summer retreats in Montana.In this conversation, Rodney talks about his experience growing up as a Chinese-American in both Oklahoma and California, his journey through gymnastics, dance, and yoga, and the epiphany of visiting Japan, where his body recognized the relief of walking through streets and dancing on stages where the majority of people shared his similar facial features. We discuss the ways that our ancestors and family history live within our tissues and the reckoning process of finding out who we are, where we came from and where we belong—a therapeutic process that can unfold and bubble up with the practices of asana, pranayama and meditation.Anyone who practices yoga in this country today can most certainly give a deep bow to Rodney, as he was paramount in helping to spread yoga across the West. He continues to teach worldwide today, expanding self-care techniques to healthcare workers, veterans, teachers and other industries.YogaShanti.comSupport the show (https://featheredpipe.com/gratitude/)

On the day after the Winter Solstice, as the world tucked in for an Omicron staycation, a news flash came over the wire. Yoga International—one of the largest yoga media companies in the world—had been acquired by Gaia—one of the largest pseudoscience, pseudointellectual, conspiracy theory platforms in the world. While the CEO of Yoga International immediately assured nervous content providers that the platform will remain editorially independent, only time will tell. What we do know is that countless print articles written by earnest yogis and thousands of hours of classes created by earnest yoga instructors will now share space with David Icke, an antisemitic conspiracy theorist who believes lizard people have coopted world governments—and that's only the start. The acquisition predicts even more brain-melting in yogaland, exposing even more vulnerable and credulous seekers to a dumpster fire of meaning dressed up in a simulation of spirituality. Julian covers some Gaia history. Derek makes us suffer through some Gaia content. Matthew opens by tracking the century-long descent of yoga media to this conspiritualistic nadir.Show NotesRob Price Interview on Gaia and Conspiracy TheoriesGaia Acquires Yoga International, a Leading Digital Yoga Service | News | bakersfield.com Yoga guru in compromising position / Celebrity instructor Rodney Yee faces allegations of misconduct with students The Case against Swami Rama of the Himalayas How to Respond to Sexual Abuse Within a Yoga or Spiritual Community

Have you ever admired a teacher and wished you could spend an hour going deep with them? That is what we got to do today with yoga teacher and psychology student, Heather Lilleston. Heather is currently in a doctoral program working towards her PhD in Clinical Psychology, and has taught yoga since 2003. In 2012, she co-founded Yoga For Bad People, a company focused on leading yoga retreats worldwide. Heather has been certified by such esteemed studios as Jivamukti Yoga with Sharon Gannon and David Life and Yoga Shanti with Colleen Saidman Yee and Rodney Yee, where she later assisted as a mentor, and taught as a lead teacher. She was recognized by Yoga Journal as one of the “50 Innovators Changing the Game of the Wellness Industry”, and held their cover for the January/February 2017 issue. She is also a senior teacher of The Class founded by Taryn Toomey. Today we discuss how Heather's psychology studies will enrich her yoga teachings, and the benefits and costs of wellness becoming a commodity. We also talk about the gifts that came out of a forced retreat during the pandemic. Lastly, we discuss heartbreaks, and her advice for getting through them.

A hyper, type A personality, I found yoga after trying kickboxing and almost completing a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.  Apparently, I thought kicking people made me feel better? In 2003 I tried a yoga class with Paola Di Paolo in Toronto and was hooked.  Returning to the mat moving slowly and deliberately began to offer benefits no other workout had. I began to sleep better, live with compassion, and deal with years of unresolved grief.In January 2007,  I travelled to Nosara, Costa Rica to study under world-renowned yogis, Don and Amba Stapleton, at the Nosara Yoga Institute where I became certified as a Yoga Alliance recognized Interdisciplinary Yoga Teacher.  More recently my studies have included workshops and master classes in Ashaya Yoga lead by Todd Norian,  Amy Ipoliti, Rod Stryker, Rodney Yee, Colleen Saidman Yee and Tiffany Cruikshank Yoga Medicine.In yoga we are asked to check our egos at the door – which I can do – but – I travel with my sense of humour and I find it to be such a good tool when guiding a yoga class!  The foundations of my classes are a gentle Hatha Yoga based practice exploring Yin Yoga postures while incorporating a strong emphasis on Iyengar's alignment principals.  Breathwork with emphasis on coming home to the body as a major theme is presented through guided meditation and asana practice.Mothership Yoga Wild Wellness Retreats began in 2008 offering a wonderful mix of yoga practice, theory, guided meditation, massage, sound therapy and plant-based whole foods.

Jason Crandell (@jason_crandell) is a natural teacher and author with more than 20 years of experience. Named “one of the teachers shaping the future of yoga,” by Yoga Journal, Jason has been an in-demand teacher at conferences around the world for more than a decade. Considered a teacher's teacher, Jason has taught on countless teacher training faculties, leads trainings globally, and regularly presents teacher training content at esteemed conferences. Jason's primary teacher is Rodney Yee—who was kind enough to say, “Jason is taking the art of teaching yoga to its next level.” For the past 10 years, Jason has honed his approach by looking to peers outside of the yoga community, in the fields of physical therapy, orthopedics, traumatology, and sports medicine. These collaborative partnerships have enabled Jason to offer the most up-to-date to asana technique, cueing, injury management, and hands-on adjustments. Jason's goal is to blend the timeless wisdom of yoga philosophy with evidence-based information to create yoga curriculum that helps modern practitioners grow and evolve. Jason also co-hosts the Yogaland Podcast with Andrea Ferretti. WHAT WE CHAT ABOUT -Different methods of sequencing -The importance of consistency -Finding your niche as a yoga teacher -Battling with ego and needing to be liked -Choosing who to follow on social media -Traditional practice verses contemporary techniques -First yoga class experience -Being broke with no ambition in twenties -Monetising and engagement on social media QUOTES ‘What I have always known about myself is that I don't conform easily!' ‘A well-managed ego is a necessary component of a healthy psyche.'

If you are a newer teacher sequencing might feel overwhelming at times and having some structure can be very grounding and helpful. If you are not a teacher, this episode is still for you, don’t go anywhere. Having some knowledge, some behind the curtain information about sequencing might help you identify or choose the right teacher for you and it might help you create a container for your own self-practice, give you direction and encourage you to step on the mat more regularly. For this episode, I sat down with Jason Crandell. Jason is a natural teacher and author with more than 20 years of experience. Named “one of the teachers shaping the future of yoga,” by Yoga Journal, Jason has been an in-demand teacher at conferences around the world for more than a decade. Considered a teacher’s teacher, Jason has taught on countless teacher-training faculties, leads trainings globally, and regularly presents teacher-training content at esteemed conferences, so he’s the perfect guest to talk about sequencing.MY 5 BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:1- Teachers should not focus on creativity first in their sequencing. Creativity is important but there are skills to be learned first. A sequence should be an expression of what you want to teach on that day. Once you have identified what you are trying to teach and how you will get there, then you can sprinkle creativity in.2- All details matter but not all details matter equally. If you want to offer a whole-body movement and feel-good practice, you can't teach too many techniques at the same time. You can be detailed as much as you want but not about everything you are teaching. Be specific with your details, but create repetition in the details you choose, so students can learn.3- Sequencing is not about rules. It's about creating a container, a structure you can color in. 4- Here's his architectural sequencing method:- Choose a few (3) focal points (region of the body, postural techniques, theme, peak pose...)- Preparation (teach your detail, specific things in link with your focal point)- Sun Salutations and variation (establish timing, rhythm, cadence, pacing)- Sun Salutation and Standing Posture (rhythm and focal points, options for different bodies, ability, and intensity desire)- Sun Salutation and Arm Balance/Inversion- Backbends- Forebends, Twists- Closing (Savasana)5- The psychological and psycho-emotional aspects of yoga are implicits to the process. They come from the embodied experience of the practice, not the intellectual or rational explanation of the concepts. The essence of yoga is a sensory experience of the asana. If you believe in the teaching of the yoga tradition, there's no difference between what is physical or philosophical. A class is not more spiritual or less spiritual, the spirituality is just more or less spelled out for you.QUESTION HE ANSWERED:Your main teachers are Rodney Yee, Richard Rosen, and Ramanan Patel, what’s one thing you’ve learned from each that is now part of your teachings today?Your style of vinyasa is slightly different from other vinyasa teachers, why do you emphasize alignment and technique in your vinyasa? Why is it important for you?Why do you think teachers should follow a sequencing method and commit to it?Do you think sequencing can help personal practice?Can we go over the steps of your sequencing method? Why do you choose the physical as a focal point and less the philosophy?

Yoga instructors Rodney Yee and Colleen Saidman Yee join David for a conversation around nurturing creativity and integrating our spiritual calling with our livelihood.

For our 41st episode, I sat down with Richard Rosen. Richard a renowned yoga teacher and the author of five books on yoga. He trained in Iyengar Yoga in San Francisco, and has been teaching for more that 30 years. He, Clare Finn, and Rodney Yee founded the Piedmont Yoga Studio (now called "Nest Yoga") in Oakland in 1987. He is a contributing editor of the Yoga Journal and president of the Yoga Dana Foundation. He has written hundreds of reviews of yoga books and videos for magazines including Yoga Journal, and has given workshops in countries all around the world. Today we sat down to talk about the basic concepts around pranayama.5 BIGGEST TAKE-AWAY FROM THIS EPISODE1- You can't push yourself in pranayama. You have to remain calm, patient, take your time and back off from your desire to get something done. If you feel, anxious, frustration or anger, you're pushing to hard.2- When we are not breathing efficiently, generally in comes form tension in the body, and emotions like fear that make us contracted.3- To begin a breathing practice, start by getting comfortable with watching the breath. Don't do anything. Let the breath have it's own way.4- Be patient, do it frequently, start laying down on the floor, add support under the spine to open the chest. Sandbags and earplugs are also very useful to support you in your practice.5- Pranayama is usually done after asana and a gateway to meditation. Asana prepares you to sit and then, Savasana is the most important preparation for pranyama. You actually prepare for pranayama by doing nothing. If you cant sit in alignment, breathing becomes difficult so stay reclined and breathe laying down.QUESTIONS HE ANSWERED DURING THIS EPISODE :Can you tell us about yourself and your yoga journey?Can you explain what is prana and pranayama?You talk about becoming a witness when we practice… What does that mean?Why you are passionate about this particular limb of yoga?What does it mean to be an efficient breather? What are the common defects of the breath?What are the elements of the breath?How do we prepare for pranayama? What’s the foundation we need to establish? Why practice pranayama? What are the benefits? How does pranayama affect our state of mind or prepare us for meditation.What’s the link between prana and consciousness?Tips, tricks, guidelines for beginners? Or reminders for regular practitioners?For students that are new to pranayama, where’s a good place to start?For newer teachers that would like to start including some pranayama in their classes, can you give some ideas of how to build a breath pattern into a whole class, or use pranayama as a theme for the practice?Is it realistic to include pranayama in 1h class?Why is pranayama not a very popular practice?Do you think people need to understand the koshas to practice pranayama?SUBSCRIBE, RATE & REVIEW!GIVEAWAY WINNER.

RYT500 Melissa joins Paulette for a heartfelt conversation about how yoga can change your life for the better. Melissa McKim from Marshfield MA is a student and Yoga Alliance registered graduate of Sacred Space Yoga School's 500 hour Yoga Teacher Training. Melissa started her healing and transformation journey back in the late 90’s when she felt lost, confused and hurting and she had no idea why. Her life looked great on the outside but it felt ugly and painful on the inside and it was yoga that saved her. Paulette invites Melissa to be her guest as she knows how common Melissa's experience is. We all at some point in our lives struggle with feelings of anxiety and yoga and the study and practice of pranayama are highly effective. Melissa's Video with Rodney Yee, hot power yoga classes were the start of her journey but she still didn't feel any lasting effects of the practice. She would take classes and sit in my car, break out in hives and try to calm herself down. Melissa continued to go but knew she needed something deeper, something more soothing, something tangible. She knew she needed to find a yoga teacher training to be able to understand the history, theory, and philosophy of yoga and not just a choreographed sequence of movements. There was something that was helping her and she needed to know what that was and why it was working. Heated practice was throwing Melissa's (Pitta) fire on fire. Melissa found Maureen Spencer, Paulette's original mentor, and guru. What we see in group classes is effective but her teachers weren’t giving her the science behind it.

My guest for this mantra-filled podcast is Cathie Caccia. Please read more about this “yoga superstar” below. Please also see below for the links to her website, with information about retreats and classes you can get involved in.   If you are one of the lucky people listening to the episode prior to October 18th, 2019, please see below for a link to the retreat with Rodney Yee and Colleen Saidman Yee. There are NINE mantras for this show.  They are: 1. Being a “yoga superstar” is a bit of an oxymoron (yoga is for every-body). 2.  Yoga is about I'm doing rather than doing. 3. A major benefit of yoga is being connected to one's authentic self. 4. Finally - a message about getting unstuck:  “don't calcify the conversation, listen”. 5.  We all need to be heard, seen, and hopefully understood (listen to others). 6.  We need to see ourselves, listen to ourselves, and hopefully understand ourselves (listen to self). 7. Breathing can create physical, spiritual, and mental healing. 8.  We are all radio stations broadcasting a signal; what vibrational seeds do you want to germinate? 9.  Creating a mantra for the breath (in and out) is so easy, yet so transformational.

Obviously, she was wrong. In 2015, she completed her first teacher training through YogaWorks under the mentorship of Chrissy Carter and has been teaching full time since. After almost ten years practicing yoga, and only yoga, she developed pain in her hips. More yoga and passive stretching didn't help. Instead, she had to completely rethink her practice, and therefore her teaching, to give her body more strength and stability. This led Markella on a path of discovery, advanced education in anatomy, kinesiology, and biomechanics, and further training. Now she helps people move and feel better while doing the practice they love and in their daily lives. Her teaching style is grounded, light-hearted, and rooted in resilience and exploration.

Susan”Lip” Orem began practicing yoga when the thrill of bench aerobics was gone. Her first teachers were Sharon Gannon, Dana Flynn and Cyndi Lee. Her checkered past as a dancer in Las Vegas revues, Off Broadway actress, Ringling Brothers clown and sign language interpreter left her no choice but to teach yoga. She was too old to be a cowgirl or an astronaut. She was first certified by Cyndi Lee before there was an OM Yoga. She has been a student of Rodney Yee since 1996 and continues to be inspired by his teaching. She is honored to be part of the teaching staff of Yoga Shanti NY. Here in NYC Genny Kapuler , Rodney Yee and Carrie Owerko keep Lip’s feet steady on the path. The most influential teachers have been all the students willing to take this trip with her. Susan “Lip” is grateful every day that what she does is what she loves. Learn more at heathenhillyoga.net

She shares the tumultuous path of uncovering self-worth as a young fashion model amidst the staggering pressure to conform to expectations of the industry and those around her. She explains that through these early challenges of self-criticism and doubt, she tried to outrun her fears until finally she was faced with no choice but surrender. This is a raw and authentic conversation about discovering your enough-ness, cultivating peace and contentment, and finding the daily practices that draw you back to yourself. Today Saidman Yee shares the power of breath, meditation and movement as a way into vulnerability, acceptance and resilience.

Did you know that the fastest growing demographic of new yogis is the 55 and older set? Neither did I. I learned all sorts of fascinating facts, statistics, and new research from this week's guest, Baxter Bell.Together with his co-author, Nina Zolotow, Baxter has a new book, Yoga for Healthy Aging and that's the main focus of this episode. I can't think of two people better-positioned to write this book: Baxter spent years practicing medicine as a family doc before becoming a yoga therapist and practicing acupuncturist. Nina is the author of several books on yoga and is a certified yoga teacher, having studied extensively with esteemed teachers like Rodney Yee and Donald Moyer.I don't know about you, but Jason and I have tried -- unsuccessfully! -- to get our parents to do yoga. This book reminds me of how beneficial yoga practice is as we age. I think it's a vital and meaningful book for any thoughtful yoga teacher's toolkit.In this week's podcast we learn more about:* The story behind Baxter and Nina's new book Yoga for Healthy Aging: A Guide to Lifelong Wellness* Why "health span" might be a better goal than a longer life span.* How holding yoga poses can assist with bone strength.* His perspective on "resting" the heart in addition to exercising it.* How spending time barefoot can assist with balance and proprioception as we age.* The importance of flexibility, agility, strength, and balance as we age -- and how they overlap and influence each other.* The best thing we can do to improve cognitive function over time.

Well-Weight-Wisdom 2-Minute-Tip on Body Movement! Move Your Body! You have got to get up and you've got to get going on a regular basis. If you do not move your body your body will not be moving you... at least not very well... so make the commitment to do some form of exercise three to five days a week no matter what. It is NOT a choice (well, sort of, but choose wisely!) Walk yourself, walk the dog, take a yoga class, take a spin class or go to the gym. I do an hour of cardio at the gym about three times a week and I enjoy it! I like to pass the time away by listening to my favorite Podcasts... like mine... LOL. If I only get to to the gym two times one week, its okay... maybe i'll just do four the next week or at least try and then add a 20-minute at home yoga routine. My favorite is Rodney Yee... back care yoga... been doing it for over 15 years! You've got to do something consistent every single week so just try to do as many body movement sessions as you can for as long as you can. It's going to help your circulatory system and will help you feel better in your body! It will also get all of those good endorphins going and will help you lose weight if you need to. If you don't have to lose weight, it'll just help you tone up it'll help you feel better inside and look better on the outside... so get up and get going!  Read more below... I'm going to give you a second tip... this will be 2 tips in two minutes! Use a sit stand desk if you work in an office. I do most of my work at the computer while standing. I do not sit very much except when my feet get a little tired, when I need a break or if I'm doing something on a lower part of my desk. When you stand while working at your desk, you will burn more calories so get up get going, move your body and let me know how you did!

What role does kindness play in daily yoga practice? When it comes to Rodney Yee, quite a lot, as he tells host Colleen Saidman Yee in answer to a question from Jeremiah in Northampton, MA. You’ll hear Rodney draw on wisdom from spiritual teachers like Ram Dass, the poet Rumi and the Dalai Lama, who said “My religion is kindness.” Discover how the growth toward kindness, spurred by what Krishnamurti calls “choiceless awareness,” is a slow process, even for master teachers like Rodney and Colleen, and why Rodney doesn't think of time as a purely linear progression. Moving from kindness to love, Sheila from Hawaii wants to know what role love plays in Rodney’s practice and teachings, which leads Rodney and Colleen into a discussion about love and conflict. You’ll find out why Rodney feels like he’s not qualified to describe love: “Does a fish describe the ocean?” Luckily for us, he doesn’t stop there, helping us understand how conflict is merely a “subset of love.”

When it comes to balancing the roles of businessperson, teacher, student, practitioner, wife, and mother, we can all learn from Colleen Saidman Yee. As she tells episode host Zubin Shroff, finding time for her own personal practice can be a challenge. So how does she do it? Delegation, a strong work ethic, and starting every day with her own practice first thing in the morning. Being handed a cup of tea by husband Rodney Yee after rolling out of bed is nice, too – “Some mornings, we prop ourselves up and do our Pranayama in bed.” In response to a question from Lydia from San Antonio, TX, Colleen shares how menopause is another area where yoga practice can restore balance. She describes how Sitali pranayam, which is a very cooling practice, can counter the heat associated with both perimenopause and menopause. Colleen shares which asana poses are most important during menopause: Warrior 2, Utkatasana and Plank Pose. You’ll also hear about the differences between men and women in the practice of mula bandha, and why Kegel exercises seem to give women an advantage over men in the practice.

Well-known in both the San Francisco Bay Area and the Greater New Orleans Area for his clarity, sincerity, and creative use of imagery to guide his students, Geoffrey’s enthusiasm for yoga is undeniably contagious. Geoffrey graduated from Piedmont Yoga Studio's 18-month Advanced Studies Program, where he formally apprenticed with ‪Richard Rosen‬ and ‪Rodney Yee‬. Geoffrey's clientele have included corporations such as Salesforce.com, several CEOs dealing with high levels of stress, professional athletes aiming to improve their overall efficiency, health care professionals searching for a reliable method of self-care, evacuees of Hurricane Katrina and athletes with disabilities.

He is an ambassador for lululemon athletica and leads workshops and retreats around the United States. Geoffrey’s main strength lies in his keen understanding of the essential qualities of each pose so that he is able to teach both modified and challenging versions of the physical practice to maximize its benefit. His deeper mission is to convey the key philosophical insights from the yoga tradition in a way that is relevant to our culture.

My guest on this episode is Richard Rosen. Richard has been an emissary for the modern Yoga world from the opening of Piedmont Yoga school with Rodney Yee in 1987 to his many articles in The Yoga Journal to his most recent of three books on early hatha practices, Original Yoga: Rediscovering Traditional Practices of Hatha Yoga.

"Women are strong and beautiful, and we are also in pain - physical, emotional, and psychological - stemming from past or present trauma.
