    "I am my own beloved, my own best friend" -- Susanna Harwood Rubin on navigating life with cancer

    Susanna Harwood Rubin is back! Susanna was my guest on episode 165, and we continue our intimate conversation here. Our conversation runs the gamut (but somehow all ties together), ranging from her recent trip to her spiritual home in India, to living fully and joyfully with metastatic breast cancer, to her passion for teaching her own form of "embodied writing."

    They're a vibe. Sound healing, parenting, podcasting & growing with Adam & Holly Husler

    They're a vibe. Sound healing, parenting, podcasting & growing with Adam & Holly Husler

    Adam and Holly Husler are an impressive yoga duo: Holly has gone from performing in a girl-band to singing healing mantras and becoming one of the UK’s leading crystal bowl sound healing trainers. Adam has taught classes, workshops and trainings in over 60 studios in over 20 countries, with a robust home schedule in London's leading studios. Together they are parents to a young son and co-hosts of the podcast, Honestly Unbalanced.
    On this episode, Jason and I catch up Adam and Holly to ask them the questions that folks often ask us: How do they balance their relationship while working and podcasting together? How has their practice changed and supported them as they've become new parents? How did Adam stumble and eventually find his voice as one of Instagram's funniest yoga reels creators? Plus, Holly shares all the goods on Sound Healing: How it works, why she started teaching it, and the empowering approach she takes when leading her online Sound Healing trainings.

    7 Reasons to Make Your Home Yoga Practice a Priority

    7 Reasons to Make Your Home Yoga Practice a Priority

    This week Jason and I talk about why a home practice is essential if you want to integrate yoga in your day to day life. We also offer our thoughts on what constitutes home practice so that you give yourself a break and focus on what's important -- getting on your mat! Our hope is that home practice can be the thing in your life that consistently feels like a respite, a refuge, a haven.
    We hope you enjoy this conversation where we talk through these 7 distinct reasons that developing a home practice is beneficial:
    It's so much easier to be consistentYou can focus on regions of the body that need more supportYou can use it as a supplement to your studio classes (or other forms of exercise)You get to practice the poses you loveYou get to spend more time on the poses you want to master but struggle withWe all need a daily dose of self-regulationFor yoga teachers, it's a way to get in touch with your own voice, creativity, and insight
    I've linked to five essential sequences on our shownotes page: yogalandpodcast.com/episode326

    Overcoming Imposter Syndrome (& Building a YouTube Empire) with Brett Larkin

    Overcoming Imposter Syndrome (& Building a YouTube Empire) with Brett Larkin

    You might look at yoga teacher Brett Larkin, with her 500K YouTube followers and think it all came easily and naturally to her. Not so — over the course of a decade, Brett slowly but surely kept publishing videos while working full-time as a game developer job and mothering her two small boys.
    On this episode, Brett shares the details of how she overcame imposter syndrome with the help of her online yoga community and ultimately created a thriving online teacher training business.
    She also shares gems from her new book, Yoga Life: Habits, Poses, and Breathwork to Channel Joy, which helps you create a personalized practice that fits into the chaos of your daily life.
    Go check out the shownotes for links to all of Brett's work: yogalandpodcast.com/episode324

Dr. Mary Flaherty ,

Great to hear about the neuroscience behind yoga

Thanks so much for the great questions you asked Dr. Daya about the practical applications of the neuroscience of yoga for everyone from children to athletes. Her summary of the structural and functional changes that a yoga practice can make to the brain was excellent.

Regarding the research evidence for yoga interventions for kids with ADHD, there is moderate evidence from a number of trials which indicates significant positive outcomes on core symptoms such as hyperactivity and executive function, as well as parent-child relationships. One Australian study on boys with ADHD who were on meds, found that yoga breathing and relaxation techniques were particularly effective in the evening when they were getting restless because the effect of the medication was reduced.

There is just so much good science now on the benefits of yoga. Our biggest problem as both yogis and (in my own case) as scientists, is crossing the great communication divide. That’s why I recently summarized all the scientific research findings thus far on yoga into a book (“Does Yoga Work? Answers from Science”, on Amazon).

This interview was a really wonderful contribution to the dialogue we need to be having about the real-world effects of our amazing practice. Thank you so much Andrea for giving these issues an airing! Hope to hear a lot more about this in future episodes.

Great Yoga Podcast, Especially For Yoga Teachers!

I love Andrea’s podcast, she’s a great interviewer and has guests that are completely relevant to yoga and the yoga world, including what is happening with regards to current events. I especially love when Jason Crandell is on the podcast. The episodes with him are fantastic, especially because I am a yoga teacher, I find his views and thoughts really helpful, practical and insightful.

My go to Podcast

I love these podcasts with Andrea (and quite a lot with Jason too!). They are informative, intelligent and professional. I always learn something when I tune in to them. While I love the discussions on poses and advice that Jason has to give, I also enjoy learning new things from other teachers too. I listened today to the podcast with Oliva Mead from Yoga for First Responders. She is inspiring. We have a similar thing here in Australia, Frontline Yoga, which I am on the board for. This is free yoga for Firefighters, Police, Paramedics, ER doctors and nurses, our volunteeer firefighters and emergency rescue staff and our defence personnel. It has given me some ideas to try and get into the academies here, and I may reach out to Olivia, because of listening to this podcast, to get her advice. Thanks guys, keep it up, and stay safe!
