  1. How to Create a Supportive Yoga Practice When Life Throws You Curveballs

    How to Create a Supportive Yoga Practice When Life Throws You Curveballs

    When you go through challenging times in life, does your usual yoga practice go out the window? For most of us, the answer is a begrudging, "yep." And yet, we need our yoga and meditation and self-care practices the most when life gets tough. On this episode, Jason and I chat about how we adapt our practice (and add to it), to help create the support, awareness, and safety we need to move through the inevitable hard patches of life.

  2. Quiet Healing: Restorative Yoga for Ethnic and Race-Based Trauma with Dr. Gail Parker

    Quiet Healing: Restorative Yoga for Ethnic and Race-Based Trauma with Dr. Gail Parker

    Dr. Gail Parker joins me on the podcast this week! Gail is a psychologist, yoga educator, and author of two companion books that center restorative yoga as a potent healing modality for ethnic and race-based trauma. These books are incredible and have taught me so much, which is why I wanted to share them with you. Here are a few things I learned from the books and this conversation with Gail: An understanding of what race-based trauma is, both from an historical perspective and from lived experience. How people who have experienced race-based trauma often feel like it's their fault (and how this is so often reinforced by society)The ways that restorative yoga works for race-based trauma: You are working with the nervous system not the traumatic event, which teaches you how to recognize relaxation, immobilize without fear, and supports feeling safe in stillness without hypervigilance.The benefits of understanding your nervous system and attempting to discern the difference between triggers and actual threats When we attempt to learn about racism and race-based trauma, we can (hopefully) make our yoga spaces more welcoming and inclusive!
