Catch this episode and you'll walk away with solutions to problems that yoga teachers are having. These are problems I hear about from teachers all over the world and with all levels of experience. In many cases, they're driven by the narratives in the yoga industry around different things: cueing, sequencing, student injuries and how to teach your class. These beliefs drive behaviors that lead teachers to feel frustrated, boxed in and less than confident.   In this episode, you'll hear solutions for problems like:    -Fear of students getting hurt in class -Spending hours prepping for class -Feeling underpaid for classes -Being dependent on practicing with class when you really want to do the Walk and Talk -A lack of understanding of anatomy.    At the end of the episode, I make you an offer and there's an incentive included since you're a podcast listener so listen for that.    I also talk about the 5 Day Confidence Challenge which you can access here:   https://barebonesyoga.lpages.co/the-5-day-confidence-challenge/     I also refer to my recent interview on The Inner Fire of Yoga podcast.

34: Indian Mythology For Yoga Teachers with Dr. Raj Balkaran

Ever wonder why yoga poses have names like Hanumanasana or Garudasana, and what they actually mean? In this episode with guest Dr. Raj Balkaran we'll find out how asanas were named and how stories, from ancient mythology to cultural narratives, literally shape our consciousness, behaviors, and entire civilization. Plus discover how being aware of this can transform both your yoga teaching and your life. As yoga teachers, we're familiar with the idea that our stories determine our actions and a large part of our practice is to quiet the mind so that we can get in touch with our true self or Ātman. But get ready to break this into a new level because today Dr. Raj Balkaran, Sanskrit scholar and spiritual teacher, is going deeper into how the mythology and stories that make up the fabric of our society influence us on deep personal, generational, and societal layers. These narratives, inherited from our cultural and civilizational backgrounds, unconsciously inform everything from our personal decisions to our scientific theories to how we treat the planet. Dr. Raj explains how Western culture is unconsciously shaped by Genesis narratives of linear time and human dominion over nature, while Eastern traditions offer cyclical worldviews of endless creation and dissolution. Even our modern cosmology, for example, the Big Bang theory may be unconsciously influenced by these inherited "beginning, middle, end" story structures. We'll also discuss how yoga teacher trainings often focus heavily on biomechanics and physical alignment, which makes sense for an industry often centered on fitness and physical relief. But by bringing the mythology into class, you can potentially help your students recognize patterns that no longer serve them, giving them the power to rewrite them. By the end of this episode, you'll have a completely new understanding of how ancient stories influence modern life and practical tools to help your students rewrite limiting narratives through yoga. In this episode, we explore: How inherited cultural stories unconsciously shape our worldview and behaviors Why Western linear thinking differs so dramatically from Eastern cyclical cosmology The profound difference between being a character in someone else's story vs. authoring your own How to recognize the subconscious narratives keeping you stuck in unwanted patterns Why yoga poses are named after mythological figures and what that means for consciousness Practical ways to incorporate meaningful storytelling into your yoga classes The concept of dharma as a guide for conscious living How detachment allows us to act from soul-level rather than ego-level caring Meet Dr. Raj Balkaran Dr. Raj is a scholar of Sanskrit literature, spiritual teacher, seasoned speaker, online educator and podcaster. He runs The Indian Wisdom School which provides students with the opportunity not only to learn about Indian Wisdom Traditions, but to learn from them. It integrates scholarship, storytelling, and profound spiritual teachings from ancient India to facilitate embodied online learning. Steering clear of over-intellectualization, reduction, delusion or dogma, the School leverages wisdom teachings from the mythological, philosophical, and spiritual traditions of ancient India to support meaningful living for modern student-seekers.  Links: Watch the episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@allmatstaken  Get better results with AI and save time, learn prompt engineering 101 for yoga teachers: https://allmatstaken.com/resources Connect with Adrianne on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/allmatstaken/ (new podcast account) Like the show?

We talk about how seemingly “peaceful” practices like meditation, breathwork, and chakra alignment can open doors to spiritual oppression, and how Satan disguises himself as light to trap people in deception.If you've ever wondered whether Christians can practice yoga, or if the New Age is just harmless self-help, you need to hear Angela's eye-opening story.

When you hear the word “anatomy,” what feelings come up? If you're like a lot of yoga teachers, you might feel nervous or you might feel a sense of pressure to “learn anatomy” when your attempts to learn it in the past haven't given you the results or confidence you need.   Enter Dr. Andrew McGonigle, a yoga teacher with over 20 years of experience in anatomy, in part because he originally thought and trained to be a physician. After having an epiphany that led him to change paths, he found that helping yoga teachers understand anatomy was both his passion and his zone of genius. When you listen to this episode, you'll see how easy Andrew makes it to understand anatomy and we also take time to share what's possible for you when you truly understand it.    Andrew shares stories from training yoga teachers and elements of his philosophy on how to balance sharing anatomy in your teaching along with sharing other elements as well.    For Andrew's bio, see below:   Andrew McGonigle has been studying anatomy for over twenty years, originally training to become a doctor and then moving away from Western medicine to become a yoga teacher, massage therapist and anatomy teacher. He combines his skills and experience to teach anatomy and physiology on Yoga Teacher Training courses internationally and runs his own Yoga Anatomy Online Course. His book Supporting Yoga Students with Common Injuries and Conditions: A Handbook for Yoga Teachers and Trainees was published in March 2021 and his most recent book The Physiology of Yoga was published in June 2022. He lives in Los Angeles with his husband.

There's no denying that yoga is both a physical and mental practice. When people practice yoga, they can experience all sorts of emotions and that may come out in various ways. In this episode, Dr. Lauren Tober and I discuss various scenarios that may come up in your classes and look at them through the lens of mental health, sharing emotions and human behavior. These topics are not often discussed but they can provide an important foundation for yoga teachers when teaching classes.    In this episode, Dr. Tober breaks down the components of mental health into 6 pillars, which are further explored in her book ( link below ). Highlights include the ethics of being a yoga teacher and what's within our professional scope of practice as well as how yoga can be helpful from a therapeutic perspective. We discuss what it means to create a “safe space” for our students, how to teach a class when a student is doing their own practice ( outside of what you're teaching ) and other scenarios that may arise.    More about Dr. Lauren Tober:   Dr Lauren Tober is a Clinical Psychologist, Senior Yoga Teacher and Author based in Mullumbimby, Australia. With a deep curiosity in health, healing, happiness and awakening, Lauren integrates the best of western psychology with ancient yogic wisdom, both on and off the mat. Lauren is the founder of the Yoga Psychology Institute and Mental Health Aware Yoga, the author of  Mental Health Aware Yoga Yoga: A Guide for Yoga Teachers, host of the A Grateful Life Podcast and loves teaching yoga teachers about mental health, and health professionals about yoga.

On this episode, spine specialist, Dr. Jasmine Hornberger shares a story of a gentleman who she treated successfully with Cox Technic® before and after back surgery. Jasmine Hornberger, DC Chiropractor, Functional Nutritionist, Yoga Teacher, Reiki Master I am a chiropractor, energy healer, and guide for whole-body healing. I founded Everyday Alignment in Grand Haven, Michigan, as a space where people could reconnect with their bodies and find lasting wellness - not just quick fixes. ​With a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College and over 300 hours of post-doctoral training in functional nutrition, I blend evidence-based care with intuitive, heart-centered healing. My approach combines chiropractic techniques like the gentle Cox® traction with holistic tools such as fire cupping, reiki, and sound therapy. My philosophy is simple: the body knows how to heal when we learn how to listen. I create a safe, grounded space for that listening to happen - where your nervous system can regulate, energy can shift, and healing can take root. When you step into my practice, you're not just getting an adjustment - you're being invited back into alignment with yourself. Resources: everyday-alignment.com The Cox 8 Table by Haven Medical

I'm back with Chapter 2 of the Bhagavad Gita! This is so dense I had to split it into two parts. Today we'll discuss verses 1-38. This chapter serves as a foundation for understanding the eternal nature of the soul (Atman) and the importance of non-attachment in the face of life's challenges. Let's look at Arjuna's emotional turmoil and Krishna's tough love approach, emphasizing the need for inner stability and the acceptance of life's transient nature. The emphasis on the immortality of the soul, the significance of understanding one's Dharma, and the win-win perspective in life. This chapter literally has all of Krishna's essential teachings.
