    151. People be Peopling 2: "How Long Will It Take Me To..."

    We get it—everyone wants results now. But what happens when we slow down, trust the process, and remember that yoga isn’t about the timeline—it’s about the transformation. In this week's episode of How Yoga Changed My Life a Podcast, Adrienne, Natalie, and Nora dive into one of the most common questions we hear as trainers and teachers: “How long will it take me to feel stronger? To look different? To lose weight?” We unpack what’s really behind that question—the desire for progress, validation, and change—and how yoga helps us shift from chasing timelines to trusting the process. With humor, honesty, and a few eye-rolling “people be peopling” moments from the fitness floor, we explore how patience, consistency, and self-compassion can transform not just our bodies, but our mindset too. Now it’s your turn—we know you’ve seen some wild, funny, or inspiring things at the gym. Send us your ‘people be peopling’ stories!

    150. How Forgetting to Set My Alarm Was My Wake-Up Call

    In this week's episode of How Yoga Changed My Life, Adrienne shares how a simple mistake—forgetting to set her alarm—became a powerful metaphor for waking up to life’s deeper lessons. Adrienne opens up about her husband Brian’s ongoing journey with a recurring pituitary adenoma—a reminder that life can shift in an instant. Recently, they found out that Brian’s pituitary adenoma returned and now uncertainty and stress begin to shadow their everyday lives.  Amid hospital visits, waiting, and worry, Adrienne discovered that her yoga practice wasn’t just something she taught—it was what carried her through. Through breath, stillness, and self-awareness, Adrienne is finding a way to stay grounded when everything around her feels unstable. She reflects on how yoga helped her meet fear with compassion, hold space for both strength and softness, and remember that awakening doesn’t always come from grand moments—it can come from something as ordinary as forgetting to set an alarm. She shares what it’s like to face the unknown, navigate fear and stress, and hold space for both strength and vulnerability. From the mat to the moments between hospital visits, she reveals the grounding practices and mindset shifts that continue to anchor her when everything feels out of control. This episode is a raw look at how life’s interruptions can become invitations to pause, breathe, and truly wake up, and the power of yoga to guide us—especially when life feels anything but certain.
