Namaste- I see the Light in you and if I saw you on the street, I'd give you a BIG HUG! It's true. This Holiday season my big hug comes in the form of giving away free yoga. Do you know someone who becomes homebound during the winter due to the cold and inclement weather?Do you know someone who complains of chronic pain? Or recently got a joint replacement?Do you know someone who would like to help manage their diabetes without taking more meds?  Do you know someone who is worried about developing dementia and Alzheimers'? What if I told you that this person could get stronger and more mobile this winter and do it all from their chair at home?!! Chair yoga has been proven to lower risk of falling, help people regain strength and movement post surgery quicker, decrease inflammation in the body which has a myriad of benefits like helping manage diabetes, prevention of dementia ad stroke…throw out whatever stereotype you are picturing in your head of who Chair Yoga is for.  I have been teaching it for over 8 years and it's perfect for any age and any person who wants all the incredible benefits of yoga without having to mess with getting up and down off a mat. We do all the poses in my chair yoga class. We do push ups and modified sit ups and vinyasa flows…just all in a way that in honoring to where you are at in your journey. AND THIS CHRISTMAS  I AM GIFTING MY ENTIRE CHAIR YOGA PROGRAM TO YOU TO FOR FREE FROM NOW TILL THE END OF MARCH. Sign up yourself & every one you love!! No strings attached.https://ishawarriors.com/free-chair-yogaToday you will hear 4 lessons I learned from baking a cake from scratch with my 5 year old that have helped me as I navigate parenthood.  I am still learning these lesson myself, but I feel soooo much more peace as a parent than I ever have before in my life because I am able to remember and implement these lessons quicker. 1. You are a Sous Chef, not a gardener.2. It will take twice as long to let them do it themselves. (Maybe even a lifetime long.)3. Sometimes it is painful being a Sous Chef.4. It is messy. Super messy.Expect that mistakes will made and it to be messy.Mistakes can be opportunities for self-esteem building.Our children want to be seen.Our children want to be heard.Our children want to be loved.Parenting is about creating an environment where they feel all three AND build their confidence in running their own kitchen...because THEY are the Executive Chef not you.  Saying these three words with SINCERITY and without emotional baggage will be like a key to opening up communication with your children regardless of their age.  "Help me understand."Be proud of your Executive Chef...not for the food that they serve (there are going to be so many days they send out burned bread, soggy vegetables and tough meat) but for the person they are becoming as they learn to run their own kitchen. Be the Sous Chef that every Executive wants by their side. Be involved in your child's life without trying to run it or own every success or failure of their kitchen as your own

On todays episode, Brytta shares with us the tools she uses to release the stories that do not serve us so that we can rewrite a story and life that does. On This Episode Brytta Shares:How she grounds herself into purpose in the moments where she has no controlHow the Earth is our number one support systemThe stories we tell ourselves that are not always trueHow to rewrite the stories to create purpose and a life of truth and serviceJournal prompts to do the real inner work of releasing self sabotage so that we can become our own inner cheerleaders and live from a place of self love!On a Personal Note:The past eight months, Brytta has been navigating through an intense visa process to be approved for her d7 visa so that she can live in Portugal with her family. The obstacles, stress, and lack of communication she has experienced through this visa process have shaken her to her core. This past week she realized that the stories she was being told about herself by a system that only knows her by government documents were stories that she began to internalize thus adding on her own layer to a story that has no truth to it. The past two days she has rewritten her stories to tell the truth so that they will reflect the life that she is building for herself in Portugal with her family. Podcast Sponsor: Louleen Yoga MatsWebsite:  https://louleen.com/Instagram: @louleen_yogaToday's poetry is by Rupi KaurPodcast Music: Pierse - Your Next Fantasy (Instrumental)Connect with Brytta on social media by taking a screenshot of this episode and tagging her on Instagram and Facebook.Subscribe to the podcast on Apple, Spotify, and iHeartRadio then if you feel called to do so, please leave a written five star review and share this podcast with your travel and yoga friends so that we can build this global community together!

Sara Clark Quits the United StatesIt was meant to be a short vacation to Grenada in February 2020, but then Covid hit, and Sara Clark, who just happened to have all her things in storage (!!), followed her intuition and stayed in Grenada and left the U.S. for good. That one terrifying (and she means terrifying) leap led her to an unimaginable quality of life as a Black woman now living in a Black country and as a recovering New Yorker living on an island with just over a hundred thousand people. The move to Grenada along with Covid also forced Sara--a well known yoga teacher at the top of her career in 2020---to take a step back and reconsider her entire career. In this episode we talk about those big moves, impossible leaps of faith and terrifying risks, how the voice inside can tell us to burn it all down and how that is sometimes only sane thing to do, the difference between being rich in life and being rich on paper, and what kind of sacrifices we're really willing to make to live well and follow our hearts.About Sara Clark:Sara Clark is an international yoga and meditation teacher with over two decades of experience. She has been a Global Yoga Ambassador for lululemon, faculty at Kripalu and has graced the cover of Yoga Journal twice along with Prevention Magazine. Sara has created yoga and meditation videos for Shape Magazine, Yoga Today, and Glo. Known for her compassionate approach, Sara's teachings merge the physical and spiritual practices of yoga with mindfulness and meditation techniques that support practitioners stepping into their limitless potential. You can find Sara at @saraclarkyoga or saraclarkyoga.comSupport us:Quitted is listener-supported, made possible by us and by you; you can support this podcast by joining our Patreon community at patreon.com/quittedMusic: Michael Blumenfeld, mikebloomstudio.comSound engineering + edits: Adam Day, https://www.adamdayphotography.com/Producer: Cathleen KisichHost: Holly Whitaker, https://hollywhitaker.substack.com/Host: Emily McDowell, https://emilyonlife.com Become a Quitted supporter on Patreon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

1:45 Introduction of Melanie Klein 3:36 In 2002, yoga culture changed. Big corporations bought yoga studios, the phenomenon of "yoga celebrities" began, advertising changed. Yoga advertising started following the lead of fitness, beauty and fashion industries. There was money to be made. 7:55 Few talking about this cultural change. The discussion of how to present another face of yoga has grown exponentially since 2010. But yoga is still being commercialised. 9:53 To change a culture, storytelling is powerful. Although what you hear is not in your experience, it can generate empathy and a willingess to be part of the discussion. It emphasises the "humanity" of people and makes it easier to see points of connection.  12:31 How do we bring the corporations into the discussion? There has been some success discussing these issues with the yoga magazines. But there are constraints on corporations in how they can react to these points. Convincing them that there is still a profit in not replicating the existing models (fitness, beauty, fashion) First step is to have discussions between the grass roots trying and corporations. 17:00 Yoga and Body Image Coalition gave visibility to many people working on their own to expand the perception of yoga. It was created 4 years ago to aggregate these individual efforts to increase reach. 26:10 New Book: Yoga Rising: Stories of Yoga Renegades. The conversation was not complete after the 1st book was published. the 1st book - Yoga and Body Image - told the stories of the benefits accruing to individuals using yoga to gain body acceptance. Book II: Yoga Rising is critiques of business and cultural models in yoga or who do you become when you reach body acceptance.  Book III:  will have the theme of yoga's effects on trauma and grief. How yoga helps with the adversities in our lives. 29:55 Advice for Yoga Today?  Really step deeply inside their practice to see if their life reflects their yoga practice. How have you taken your yoga off the mat?

In Episode 018 of A Medicinal Mind: Wisdom and Wellbeing I share an amazing conversation with my new friend, mindful mom, and meditation pioneer, Anna Gannon. Anna is a mom, the Community and Editorial Lead at Expectful, a Writer and a Yoga & Meditation Teacher. Her work has been featured on The Huffington Post, MindBodyGreen, Yoga Today and The Expectful Blog. Anna is passionate about the importance of the mind, body, and sometimes baby connection. Her mission is to improve women's emotional health during their fertility, pregnancy and new motherhood experience by sharing open and honest stories, educating them on the benefits of meditation and movement and most importantly, letting them know they are never alone. As you will hear in the podcast, Anna's story is beyond remarkable and one that speaks to the beautiful randomness of this life when we finally surrender to the entirely unexplainable.  In our  conversation Anna opens up about her journey as the Community and Editorial Lead with Expectful, a web and mobile based app designed to support mothers and mothers-to-be in developing and maintaining a meditation practice, supporting the health of their child to be as well as their own. In the podcast, Anna describes the fascinating creative process behind each of Expectful's meditation and the vision for the group going forward as they seek to support women at all stages of life Digging deeper, Anna and I explore how exactly we can best support mothers months before conception and for months after the birth of a child. Should meditation and support for mind-body practices be as routine as prenatal vitamins? We then discuss some of the barriers faced by mothers and families throughout a pregnancy and the benefits of engaging in a meditation practice, carrying mindfulness into all aspects of one's life. Anna's authentic story is touching beyond measure and left me on more than one occasion with chills and joyful disbelief. I encourage you to check out the show notes for links to connect with Anna and try out Expectful for yourself. As you will hear from my own mouth, being male or not pregnant is certainly not an excuse to explore some of Expectful's meditations. Whether you are a clinician looking to help your patients or a supporting partner trying to grow your connection with your loved ones, I truly believe you will find peace and presence with Expectful and it's thoughtful meditations. I am so thankful for Anna's pioneering work, and beyond grateful to have connected over our shared mission to support the flourishing of mothers, father and babies to be! We really hope you enjoy the show! ​Learn more through guided meditation for your fertility, pregnancy, and motherhood journey with Expectful, find us on the app store, and follow our podcast conversations by typing in "Expectful".  To access all of our previous podcasts episodes click this link: http://www.amedicinalmind.com/podcast-wisdom-and-well-being   Disclaimer: The content at A Medicinal Mind and the content of our podcast are educational and informational in nature.

A cold and an injury forced me to slow down and limit my workouts to yoga and walking.  What I wasn't expecting was the increased happiness and continued leanness that new routine delivered.   Some of my favorite online yoga classes: Ali Kamenova - some free classes and also a membership site.  Very challenging classes and she has a unique style you may or may not love.
