Taylor is the creator of the yoga & travel site, Taylor's Tracks, a former full-time travel writer turned yoga teacher, mentor & trainer after taking her first YTT that sparked her self acceptance journey. This time she is talking me through what Somatic Yoga is, how it can be helpful and how we can begin to incorporate it into our own practice and our teaching.Here are my links:BIRTHDAY SALE: https://www.amymcdonald.com.au/birthdaysaleBusiness coaching: www.amymcdonald.com.au/coachingCalendar to talk coaching: https://scheduler.zoom.us/amymcdonald/coaching

We got the third hour started with Mr Mikes Kind of Easy Trivia.   It was then time for Three Questions Too Many presented by Park Mazda.   It is a Thursday with Dustin Nielson in the house... which means SCALDING HOT TAKES! Who will win the elusive mitt today, probably not YTT.    The boys finished off the show with The Wrap from William Huff!

We are back with another edition of The Nielson Show! To start off hour one, we went around the room recapping everyone's night's from last night.  Touched on Tommy the buffet bandit, YTT not going to the theatre last night and the land lord controversy. We then briefly touched on Morning Announcements from 100.3 The Bear.   Right after the break, we then determined the draft order in tomorrow's bird draft.   To finish off hour one, it was time for MMMMMM That's Good. Today, we discussed how good it is for Marshall Nielson being involved in his first fantasy draft.

We got the third hour started with Mr Mikes Kind of Easy Trivia.   It was then time for Three Questions Too Many presented by Park Mazda.   Sean Campbell was the final guest on today's show. He stopped by to tee up this weeks matchup between the Elks and Alouettes. Can the Elks get the job done against their former QB in MBT?    Because it is draft week, it was time for Lt. Eric's weekly rankings of power. Today, he ranked the best tit's on Earth.   The boys finished off the show with The Wrap from William Huff! We learned a lot today, including YTT's beef with Snoop Dogg.

Eagles reporter, Chris McPherson joined the show to talk all things Eagles! He gave his thoughts on what the vibe has been like so far in camp, touched on the expectations for Saquon Barkley as he was just named the new Madden cover and finished with his thoughts on the defence, and how much it has changed.   It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.   We then hit I've Got Beef in the middle of the second hour. Tommy had some serious beef, Lt. Eric had some relatable beef… and nasties had beef with YTT's beef!   Reid Wilkins was the final guest on today's show! He expressed his feelings on everyone's beefs. Touched on how tough it's been to sleep because he doesn't have air conditioning... and finished with who he thinks will be the biggest surprise for the Oilers this upcoming season.

We are back with another edition of The Nielson Show coming your way this fine Wednesday morning! The fellas caught up as it's been a minute since they shared the airwaves together.   We hit Morning Announcements from 100.3 The Bear to recap all the action in the world of sport from yesterday. Also touched on last night's Riverhawks game as YTT was in attendance for that one.   After the first sports update, the boys dove right into some Edmonton Elks discussion! What's going on? Are they better with Cody Fajardo? All this was discussed between Lt. Eric and the wrench.   We then gave some love to our Bus Trip down to Calgary for the Labour Day Classic! We cannot wait for this.

This week my guest is Philadelphia-based yoga teacher, Matthew Shaw. Matthew joined the Jason Crandell Yoga Method team as our Lead Teacher Training Mentor this year and has been a longtime student of Jason's. What I didn't know until a few weeks ago is that Matthew spent 20 years in a previous life as a successful opera singer, performing on major stages across Europe—including Germany, Austria, and Hungary. In this conversation, Matthew shares how, in the second half of his career, just as he was really taking off, anxiety and depression decided to tag along. He talks openly about imposter syndrome, how he found solace through yoga and Western meds (you know I love my meds so I'm here for it!) and how his whole journey lead him to where he is today. We spend the second half of the conversation focused on retreats, why they are so vital, and how he creates intentional, supportive spaces for his students to both adventure and reset. We talk about:Why success didn't solve his self-doubt—in fact, it made it worseThe cultural pressures of perfectionism in classical performanceHis transition to becoming a yoga teacher and community builderThe joy he finds leading yoga retreats around the worldWhy retreats offer so much more than a temporary escape—and how they can ripple outward to impact our daily livesYou can find shownotes here: yogalandpodcast.com/episode362We've got two YTT events coming up! Module II of Jason's 300-hour begins August 20th. You can get all of the details and join us here: jasonyoga.com/300And if you are considering becoming a yoga teacher, join our 200-hour waitlist!

We are back with another edition of The Nielson Show coming at you this fine Wednesday morning. The fellas started the show with some bangers as it is an another O Wednesday!   Like we always do, we hit Morning Announcements from 100.3 The Bear to recap everything in the world of sport from last night.   After the first sports update, we dove into Offseason, What Offseason?!? Who would you like to see slotted on Leon Draisaitl's line to start the season. Dusty and YTT became best friends in this segment.   It was then time for MMMMMM That's Good presented by Italian Centre Shop. Today we discussed how good CFL fantasy is, and the massive trade in the KERFLOAT.   We finished the hour by going through some ESTY categories for this year's ESTY's!

Legendary CFL voice, Rod Smith joined Dusty at the top of the first hour. He gave his thoughts out East, touched on the cheat code of Bo Levi-Mitchell and Kenny Lawler are. He then gave his thoughts on Tre Ford, what his thoughts on the QB's season have been thus far and how short of a leash he has now.   Like we always do, it was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.   In the middle of the second hour, we hit Weekly Confessions from Spectrum Rent All! Some good ones from Dusty and YTT today, as per usual.   To finish off hour two, TSN's Matthew Scianitti joined the show. He gave us all the latest from everything out East, he also touched on how dominant Kenny Lawler has been. He also touched on the current quarterback controversy right here in Edmonton. He gave his thoughts on who should start for the Elks in their next game!

In this episode, Jason dives deep into one of the most overlooked — and often overwhelming — skills in yoga teaching: verbal communication. Whether you're a new teacher still getting comfortable saying anything aloud, or a seasoned instructor trying to say less with more impact, this conversation is full of practical insights.You'll learn how to refine your voice, distill your message, and create space for your students to absorb and respond.Highlights from the episode include:Why saying less often helps students learn moreThe #1 mistake yoga teachers make with verbal cues (and how to fix it)What Jason learned from Andrea's editorial red pen ✏️How to pair your cues with your sequence (and why this skill takes time to develop)What “over-teaching” looks like and how to avoid itMinimizing jargon (and when it's okay to use it)Managing up-speak and down-speak for clarity and confidenceUsing story, metaphor, and analogy to keep teaching engagingThe hardest skill of all: being yourself, even while giving commands

If you're an Uplifted alumni you'll recognize today's guest from inside the training…Kristin Leal!!

Mother's day just passed and I thought this would be the perfect time to talk about something a lot of women deal with, especially after having kids: pelvic floor dysfunction. I invited Dr. Brianne Grogan, Physical Therapist and Pelvic Care Expert, to talk about the intricate relationship between trauma, stress, and pelvic floor health. I loved this conversation with Dr. Bri because she not only delves into practical techniques for pelvic floor release, sharing insights on effective cues for yoga teachers to enhance awareness and how to reconnect with the pelvic floor, but she also emphasizes the importance of understanding the pelvic area as a site of emotional storage and energetic power. Listen in as we explore how:

Jamie McLennan was the first guest on today's show. He gave his thoughts on what to expect from both the Oilers and Golden Knight heading into tonight's game. Noodles then game some love to Kane, Bouchard, Stecher and Podkolzin. Noodles finished with his thoughts on Stuart Skinner and what to expect from him tonight.   After Noodles, we quickly got into The Fan Zone presented by FansFirst to get a quick nerve check from the nasties and YTT heading into tonight's game… we then transitioned to our Early Bird Bet presented by Play Alberta.   After the sports update in the middle of the hour, we got right into Free Advice for Damon Bunting! Lots of great advice around the room today.   To finish off hour two, like we always do on Wednesday's… Eric Macramalla joined the show to talk some sports and plenty of shenanigans. Macramalla did also provide an update on the Hockey Canada trial out East. 

Luke Gazdic was the first guest on today's show! He shared his thoughts on the Oilers, Golden Knights series thus far and previewed tonight's matchup. He touched on the importance of the Oilers scoring depth recently… we then transitioned to the Jets & Stars series. Luke finished with his thoughts on the Leafs and Panthers series.   We then hit our Early Bird Bet Of The Day presented by Play Alberta right before a sports update from Park Mazda.   In the middle of the second hour, we got into I Got Beef from Acme Meat Market. Today, everyone had beef with YTT!   Reid Willkin's then joined the show to finish off hour two to discuss YouTube Trev's bathing fantasies… and some Oilers hockey.

This week I'm joined by Taylor Lorenz oftaylorstracks.com and @taylorstracks.

The thoughts don't stop but, your reactivity to the noise becomes less intense.With practice you can strengthen equanimity, to learn how to turn up the volume of your inner-calm which muffles the chatter and noise.More tips in today's episode."The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear." - RumiCHECK-IN: Before and after each practice I will invite you to check in and rate your stress level from 0 - 5.  Note if the number changed after your meditation.0 = low5 = highLet me know what your experience during this meditation.  I really want to know how it's going for you!⁠⁠⁠Follow along daily for 30 days to create a meditation habit. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Start anytime!

DAY TWENTY-TWO April Mindful Minutes challenge:EARTH DAY MINDFULNESS TIPS & MEDITATION (22 min.)In today's episode I share mindfulness tips on how we can take care of our planet, in honor of Earth Day.  There is silent meditation near the end of this episode.CHECK-IN: Before and after each practice check in and rate your stress level from 0 - 5.  Did the number change after your meditation?0 = low5 = high3x3 EARTH DAY TIPSThink of THREE ways you can REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE to care for our planet.  Here are a few simple ideas to create habits which respect Mother Nature. Each tip also saves you money.

DAY TWENTY-THREE April Mindful Minutes challenge:SETTLE INTO STILLNESS (23 minutes)Congratulations! You're in the final week of the April Mindful Minutes challenge!  It's time to level-up and experience longer periods of silence to truly practice cultivating a meditative state of mind.  I started you with baby steps with ONE MINUTE on Day One, leading you in “high guidance” mindfulness sessions. The meditations slowly got longer with “medium guidance” where I slowly lengthened the periods of silent meditation.  Now this week I am introducing TWO 10-minute stretches of silence with a brief intermission. You will hear the sound of bells, my voice, then I'll guide you back into the second 10-minutes of silent meditation. Days 23-25 will be the same giving you the opportunity to practice these longer silent meditations.  The only difference being each day getting one minute longer.  CHECK-IN: Before and after each practice I will invite you to check in and rate your stress level from 0 - 5.  Note if the number changed after your meditation.0 = low5 = highLet me know what your experience during this meditation.  I really want to know how it's going for you!⁠⁠Follow along daily for 30 days to create a meditation habit. ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Start anytime!

Welcome to Spiritually Fit Yoga with Amelia Andaleon!DAY EIGHT April Mindful Minutes challenge:EIGHT MINUTES - DIRGA BREATH✅ Congratulations on completing week one of this 30-day mindfulness challenge!Today I'm introducing you to Dirga breathing which is a basic yoga breath work technique or pranayama.  Almost six minutes of this episode is an introduction, including any contraindications.  If at any time you feel discomfort, gently stop the practice.  CHECK-IN: Before and after each practice I will invite you to check in and rate your stress level from 0 - 5.0 = zero worries/stress, 5 = feeling like you're going to lose it.MY STORYWhen I began learning breath work, I had to ease into it. I didn't realize I was breathing so shallow.  Oxygenating my lungs & brain initially made me feel dizzy and anxious, which can be typical experiences when first learning deep breathing.  As I continued practicing, I increased my lung capacity, I reduced my need for my inhaler (I had asthma), and I increased my overall sense of well-being. ~15 years later my asthma is gone.  I also realized my asthma was triggered by stress and anxiety.  Once I learned how to breathe & manage stress, my asthma disappeared.  Still hard to believe!That's just one profound way how meditation and breath work have made a difference in my life.These episodes are posted at 7am PST.

This can lead to a multitude of physical issues. That's why you want to move emotions through your body. We've all heard the phrase, “emotions are energy in motion.” But how do we deal with all of the feelings that arise throughout each day?  Listen and learn how to:
