Yogaland Podcast

Today's guest, Nikki Myers, a yoga therapist and the founder of Y12SR (Yoga of 12-Step Recovery), shares how yoga has helped with her personal struggles with addiction and helped thousands of people through Y12SR. Even if you've never been touched personally by addiction, her insights and advice apply to anyone who's had to overcome a challenge in life.  We talk about: * Nikki's personal road to recovery, what she learned along the way, and how yoga helped her heal * Why an important part of practicing yoga is embracing ALL sides of yourself, and why it's important not to deny or hide the things you're less proud of * How the 12-step program is similar to yoga and why yoga is such a great complement to the 12 steps * Nikki and Andrea share their thoughts on the opioid crisis and how, as bad as things are, the good that has come from it. It's forcing government officials and the healthcare establishment to take a look at the emotional side behind the disease of addiction * What co-dependency really is and how it relates to addiction  Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/yogaland.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Jason is back this week to answer a few questions that came up about our Summer Series. The questions came from students in Jason's advanced yoga teacher training class, but they are applicable to any serious practitioners.  We address: * His sequencing philosophy + the one biggest mistake he thinks yoga teachers make when they're planning their yoga class sequences. * How to help students find a slow, steady breath during vinyasa classes -- including how to breathe for backbends like Urdhva Dhanurasana (Wheel Pose), Dhanurasana (Bow Pose), and dropping back into Urdhva Dhanurasana. * Why consistency is such an important element for teaching and practicing yoga. * Jason's thoughts on finding an appropriate pace for vinyasa yoga classes.

J. Brown is a yoga teacher, former yoga center owner, blogger, and the host of the popular podcast J. Brown Yoga Talks. On this episode, I ask J. about his yoga origin story as well as the current iteration of his yoga life -- both online and off. J. also shares how the powerful words he said to his mother toward the end of her life have had a lasting impact on who he is today and helped lead him to yoga. J.'s mother died before he graduated from high school, and what he once saw as a wound he now sees as an event that has filled him with purpose and, ultimately, gratitude.

When I have Jason on the show, we talk a lot about postures and technique, so I thought it would be interesting to talk yoga philosophy on the podcast this week. I asked Jason to share his favorite yoga books (that are not focused on the physical practice). These are just a few of his favorites, spanning yoga philosophy, Buddhist philosophy, and neuroscience.

Claire Missingham is back on the podcast this week, and we're talking about how she's been using yoga and other natural healing modalities to manage a recent diagnosis of an autoimmune disease. She tells us: *How the grief of losing a yoga teacher in her community to suicide led her to start running, learn to swim (as an adult), and compete in marathons and triathalons *How she became diagnosed with Lupus, and how she manages it through food, adaptogenic herbs, and other natural methods of healing *Why she takes a freezing cold shower every morning before her yoga practice and wears a bikini in the snow! *What herbs she found to be most helpful in her healing, travel, and daily life and why she says they're worth every penny (Plus, she offers a few tips for stretching your dollar when buying and using herbs) *How her diagnosis has impacted her asana practice and her thoughts on how yoga is always changing to meet her where she is Show notes (and Claire's smoothie recipe) at: http://www.jasonyoga.com/podcast/episode116 SHOUT-OUT TO OUR SPONSORS 1.

On this episode, I'm joined by yoga teacher and holistic health coach Rosie Acosta. Rosie shares her personal story of growing up in East L.A. in the 90s where chaos and violence surrounded her daily. By the time she was a teen, she'd been arrested, she was physically unhealthy, and she didn't see much of a future for herself. And yet, here she is now, living a bright, fulfilled life.  Her story is inspiring and speaks to the power of the human spirit and the power of a dedicated yoga practice. ✨ "The minute I walked into that [yoga] room, I felt like I was home." ✨ Rosie shares: - How one of the biggest mistakes of her life as a teen was actually a catalyst for positive change - The internal conflict of wanting to create a better life for herself while knowing that he family feared losing her if she "got out" - How growing up with instability created a deep internal craving for stability - How she juggled several jobs and explored different paths before finding the right fit with yoga - Her advice for finding the right yoga teacher for you This interview is a must-listen for anyone who has ever felt the odds are against them. I just love Rosie, and I know you will, too! Shownotes: http://www.jasonyoga.com/podcast/episode115 SHOUT-OUT TO OUR SPONSORS 1. I love cooking but even I get tired of the grind day after day.

I've been thinking a lot about ego lately. I've been talking to Jason's teacher trainees about social media strategy and putting yourself out there. And yet, I personally feel like social media brings out the most immature aspects of my ego. I thought it would be a good refresher for all of us to think about what yoga teaches us about the ego. This week, Sally Kempton and I talk about the purpose of the ego, misunderstandings around it (no, you don't ever annihilate your ego -- if you did, you probably wouldn't shower or pay your bills on time), and how to approach it from a yogic perspective. We get into how our ego is potentially affected by social media, and Sally offers helpful, practical self-inquiry techniques to help you relax your ego when it's triggered.

A lot of people come to yoga to help them balance some of the activities they do on a daily basis. After all, yoga is a great antidote to sitting in a chair, looking at a computer or iPhone screen, and other things sedentary people do. But you might not realize that if you're an avid yogi who practices daily, it can be helpful to add other types of movement into your routine to counterbalance the effects of the yoga asanas. That's what today's guest, longtime vinyasa yoga teacher and CrossFit trainer Debbie Steingesser, came to realize after she suffered a hip injury that required physical therapy and strength training to heal. This week, I talk to Debbie about how strength training has changed her practice--and her life! We talk about: *How a hip injury led Debbie to physical therapy and eventually CrossFit and how that experience changed her view on what yoga could do for her *What is CrossFit is and how can it be a complementary practice for yoga students *How the benefits of cross training go beyond the physical Show notes: http://www.jasonyoga.com/podcast/episode113 SHOUT-OUT TO OUR SPONSORS 1.

We've gotten several questions from listeners about how to find the right balance between working hard and surrendering during yoga postures. How to find that elusive balance of two seemingly conflicting ideals, whether on our yoga mats or in our lives, leaves many of us scratching our heads. Like so many things in yoga, the answer is complicated. But in this episode, Jason and I share some of our insights and do our best to tackle the question. Here's what we cover: * What Patanjali wrote about the idea of effort and ease in The Yoga Sutra and how Jason interprets it * What Joel Kramer meant by "playing the edge" in yoga postures and how Jason and I approach the concept * Practical advice for when to work hard and when to back off * How to tell whether physical limitations are in the structure of the joint or the soft tissue Show notes: http://jasonyoga.com/podcast/episode111   SHOUT-OUT TO OUR SPONSORS 1.

In this week's episode, Jason and I are live from Detroit Yoga Lab answering student questions about some of the most common yoga injuries, how to prevent and avoid them. Bonus banter: Find out why Jason has a black eye - unsurprisingly, it's not from yoga or a bar fight. And learn what Jason's three favorite bands are. (Our regular listeners will not be surprised to hear that Salabhasana (Locust Pose) come up a time or two.) Here's what we discuss: * Alternative poses for Warrior I and II for practitioners with SI joint pain * Best poses and modifications for hamstring overstretch issues * Which movements during an asana practice could cause excess shoulder and neck tension and which counter poses or practices can students do to find relief * Have we demonized Chaturanga Dandasana (Four-Limbed Staff Pose)? Plus, how to transition from Plank to the floor in a way that's less likely to cause injury Show notes: http://www.jasonyoga.com/podcast/episode110   SHOUT-OUT TO OUR SPONSORS 1.

I put together this episode after the suicides of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain. The loss of both of these talented, successfully, beloved people in one week was tragic. A few days after it happened, I read two great stories that talked about how important it is to tell our stories about getting through depression. When the news media focuses on a suicide and how it happens, it can lead to contagion. But when people tell their personal stories of getting through depression or suicidal thoughts or attempts, it helps people in the midst of a crisis see that they can survive. In that spirit, I offer up the things I've learned from surviving depression, as well as how I got through it. I hope it helps you or someone you love.

Do you remember the first time you did your favorite pose? Was it true love the first time you took the shape? Or did it take a few tries (or maybe even years!?) to appreciate it? A few weeks ago, I shared on Instagram that when I first started practicing Side Angle Pose, I thought it was a total snooze and now it's one of my favorite poses. I asked if anyone else has had this experience with a pose and got a resounding yes. For me, the process of appreciating Side Angle Pose represents the way the practice fuels growth and contentment: I used to need a big pose to capture my attention, but now the simpler shapes can bring me to a place of focused attention, awareness, and absorption. It also shows the beauty of a long-term, sustainable practice -- you change over time and your practice can change, too. This week, Jason and I unpack all of this -- the poses we once overlooked, as well as the poses we used to long for that don't hold much weight anymore. And I share some of the (awesome) comments you all left on the 'gram. And bonus: Jason also talks about his approach to drishti (or gaze). We'd love to hear from you and the poses you've grown to love -- post them on Instagram and use the hashtag #yogalandstories so we can find you!

If you're like a lot of yoga students, you probably feel a bit conflicted when it comes to social media: You want to spend more time in the present moment, but you also love how social media makes you feel connected with the people you love and what's going on in the world. It can be so hard to find a balance that allows you to enjoy the best social media has to offer without feeling like a slave to technology. In this episode of Yogaland, Jason and I share some practical tips on using social media both as consumers and as yoga teachers (who need to use it as a marketing tool and as a way to connect to their students). We talk about: * How to stop comparing yourself to the edited highlight reel you see of others' lives on social media * Creating healthy boundaries around how and when you use social media * What yoga teachers can do to stay authentic on social media and use it to nurture the relationships they have with their students Podcast notes: http://jasonyoga.com/podcast/episode108 SHOUT-OUT TO OUR SPONSORS 1.

For this year's summer series, Jason and I are focusing on "Building a Sustainable Yoga Practice." Over the past year we've talked about injuries, fear of injuries, predatory teachers and we thought -- LET'S FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE FOR PETE'S SAKE. Let's empower ourselves to create a yoga practice that serves our needs.  For the first episode, Jason and I talk about which poses are taught as beginner or "easy" poses and are actually torturous for us to execute. And the inverse of that -- which poses are thought to be advanced, but have always been pretty accessible to us because of body type. My hope is that this talk will help unravel that sense of competition (either with others or just with ourselves) that we all feel from time to time on the yoga mat. The truth is that certain poses that are easier and more difficult simply because of the body you're born with. That means that those awe-inspiring poses you see on Instagram may not be a reflection of skills and years of study, but rather just something that that person is able to do naturally. Of course, that means the flip side is true too: You're not a bad yogi if you can't balance in Tree Pose to save your life. If you've ever struggled with any pose (or with feeling bad about yourself because of that struggle), you don't want to miss this one! Poses we discuss: * Vrksasana (Tree Pose) * Garudasana (Eagle Pose) * Hanumanasana (Monkey Pose) * Seated Forward Bends * Pincha Mayurasana (Forearm Balance) * Bakasana (Crane Pose) SHOUT-OUT TO OUR SPONSORS 1.
