I often get asked what the difference is between Yoga Therapy and just dropping into a group studio class. Both leave you feeling better right? Well not always. Some students can feel lost in a group class or they may have some medical conditions or physical limitations that cannot be addressed properly in a group class. That is where a 1:1 session can be very helpful- especially when conducted with a Yoga Therapist with an extensive training in how to adapt to the individual! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/yogafocus/support

For this episode I am joined by Parm Saggu, a Spiritual Life Coach and CEO/Founder of Parm's Yoga. We have a great conversation about how Yoga and Meditation can help you break free from the grasps of society and find your true purpose. Parm Saggu is a spiritual life coach for millennials seeking purpose and the owner and founder of Parm's Yoga. Her journey took her from feeling lost, stuck and alone in life to finding her purpose and giving back to the world in a way that resonates with her. A few years ago, she worked as a nanotechnology engineer and surrendered all of that to the intense pull she felt to make a bigger impact on the world. Now, Parm helps unfulfilled professionals find purpose, inner peace and get out of the dark place they're in.

I FINALLY got to meet my teacher and mentor in person and let me tell you...it rocked my world! Let's get to the goods (links that you want) first... - Start 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training with myself and Makenzie Fly next year because you want this kind of transformation in your life CLICK HERE - Book a healing session CLICK HERE Ok now that that is out of the way, I was so excited to share this episode because this experience rocked my world! I had waited years to meet my yoga teacher in person. I had not only learned from his particular linage but also had taken a 300 hour training with him in 2020 but had never had the chance too meet him in person. In this episode I share with you what was one of the most wild 24 hours I've had in a long time. I came back changed. It also reiterated to meet the importance of getting in rooms with people you admire, people who lift you up, people who inspire you. Not only because of how it makes you feel but because of what it does for your energy. I had wanted to take Yoga Teacher Training for years and I'm glad I waited to be able to take it from people who inspire me, people who when they talk it stirs something deep in my soul. If you're ready for this kind of change in your life, something that will literally change the trajectory of your life, then you need to go through a yoga teacher training. I always say it's a lot more like life school and a lot less about teacher yoga but I'm telling you, you will never be the same after! Or if you've already gone through a 200 hour and are ready to go deeper we are also offering a 300 hour next year too.

The Connected Yoga Teacher Podcast 284: Beyond Pronouns and Pride Month with Shannon Crow   Description: How can we make our yoga classes more inclusive and accessible? The truth is, sometimes we can mess up and make mistakes even when we try to create safer spaces in our yoga classes. We may cause harm without realizing it - that's why it is a huge gift when someone points out how we are causing harm.   The work of continuous learning goes beyond simply using the right pronouns and extends far beyond Pride month. These are complex and nuanced issues - we have to strive to continuously educate ourselves. In this episode, Shannon Crow shares the email from a listener that inspired this conversation as well as resources for you if you are keen to continue learning how to create safer, more accessible yoga spaces for people in the LGBTQIA+ community.   Key Takeaways: [3:24] Shannon shares a book she has been enjoying and learning from recently. [6:56] This episode was inspired by a brave email sent by a podcast listener in response to Episode 275 about being kicked out of yoga class. [9:00] Shannon shares the email from the listener. [10:44] Even when we want to create safe spaces, we may not succeed. We may also cause harm to others and it is a huge gift when they communicate that with us. [11:58] Our continuous learning journey goes beyond Pride month. [13:03] We can spread our learning and collaboration requests out to span the entire year, instead of just in Pride month. [14:12 Shannon has some resources for you if you want to create an inclusive yoga space in all months of the year, not just in June. [20:54 - 20:59] Shannon shares what OfferingTree is putting together for yoga studios. [22:43] Shannon highlights some of the podcast episodes listeners can learn from as well as trainings available.

It's just another tool that you need to know how and when to apply it."
