Yoga Burnout Yoga Burnout

The seed for this episode began as a conversation about the way music is used in yoga classes, but more broadly considers intentionality and the ways in which we can use sound, silence, and other environmental components to set the tone for, as we always say in our intro , “a meaningful, modern practice”.

In Episode 5 of Season 2, Kelly and Ashley talk about how the aesthetic goals that the fitness industry promotes, both overtly and as subtext, may or may not be connected to a true sense of wellness.  How does the yoga industry feed into these limited views of what is considered "healthy" and how might it also support a broader and more enduring sense of wellness among its practitioners?

Whether you are a fan of setting detailed, quantifiable goals at the start of January or simply prefer to follow nature and use the shorter, cooler days as an opportunity to turn inward a bit, embarking on or revisiting a home practice is a worthwhile endeavor.  In this episode of the Yoga Burnout podcast Kelly and Ashley talk about the challenges, benefits, approaches, and opportunities in creating a self-guided home practice.  You can do it!

Kelly-Jean's yoga teaching and practice has been deeply influenced by her training as a Rolfer.  A golfer?  No, a Rolfer.  Learn more about what Rolfing is, who can benefit from it, and how it can deepen your yoga practice on Episode 3 of Yoga Burnout Season 2. 

In this episode, Kelly asks Ashley some questions about teaching in the Physical Education Activity Course program at the College of Charleston.  The conversation covers topics ranging from home practice, to methodology, to what we hope our students "get" from our teaching.

In this first episode of Season 2 of the Yoga Burnout podcast, Kelly and Ashley catch up on the latest in their personal practice and teaching.
