  1. An Interview With Yoga Teacher & Spiritual Healer, Rachel Chase

    An Interview With Yoga Teacher & Spiritual Healer, Rachel Chase

    Welcome to Yoga Teacher Talk (formerly The Language of Yoga) and what a season premiere it is! Host Becca is joined by her guest Rachel Chase, a dancer-turned-energy healer, yoga teacher, and therapist whose path is anything but ordinary. Rachel's story begins where all great stories do: in the body. She came into this world moving, and dance became her first language — her communion with the divine. But the road from semi-professional dancer to Reiki master, yoga teacher, past life regression practitioner, and Holistic Mental Health Counselor and Spiritual Guide was paved with injuries, personal breakthroughs, and a courageous journey that has brought her to where she is today. Rachel shares how she blends gentle yoga, somatic processing, energy work, breathwork, creative movement, and self exploration into an integrative healing practice, and why she intentionally stepped away from rigid alignment cuing to hold space for her students' inner wisdom instead. Join us as Rachel and Becca share practical advice on the creative spirit of yoga teachers, leading your first workshop, and giving yourself permission to teach in your own beautifully imperfect way.

    Unlocking the Magic of Somatic Cuing with Dr. Kelsey Evans-Amalu (aka, the Mindful Prof)

    Somatics may be the missing link in how you help your yoga students shift into a deeper mind-body connection. In therapy, as well as on the yoga mat, somatics focuses on internal body awareness, emphasizing sensations and feelings to help release deeply stored stress, trauma and habitual holding patterns by exploring what feels safe and good in the body. Dr. K shares stories about how somatic therapy helped her through personal trauma and why she is so passionate about bringing this approach to her clients on and off the yoga mat. Learn the many benefits of using somatic cuing in your classes which include greater comfort and freedom in the physical and emotional body, self awareness, confidence, a sense of well-being and even improved proprioception. Finally, learn about the “red light, yellow light, green light” method of coaching your students to listen deeply within to what feels engergecially safe on the yoga mat. And, as a special bonus, listen in as Dr. K leads host Becca Schmidt in a real-time somatic experience to help release some of the “heaviness” of their discussion.
