Ryan is a yoga studio owner and teacher. He's always lived a life where he's spent time with people that have inspired him. He was a professional runner for a long time + got injured by breaking his hip. He started yoga to rehab his injury but was nervous to go into yoga being super inflexible. He ended up becoming a teacher and has been teaching for 8 years now. He explains how to find more mindfulness in this modern world through having rituals, taking time to just look out the window, and anything to get your present. Releasing the importance of leading with a mindful intention, especially when in conversation with others. Working with your own energy when around reactive/ negative people + learning how to feel the emotions that are arising in you. In Buddhism, there are the 3 difficult practices -- notice when you've gone off, do something different and keep staying in your lane. The ego-clinging of not attaching to the emotion, but work through it. We're doing these spiritual practices to be a benefit to the whole world. Being in a community allows you to feel like you're a part of something bigger than yourself. How creating a community that fosters nourishment and good experiences creates the best method to growth in a business, which is word of mouth. He's intentionally trying to bring more equality to his yoga studio + making it more accessible for every kind of body. He is really aligned with the values of his business + keeping it in line with the principles of yoga. He says if you can learn to relax in the ocean, you learn to sit in the middle of change + remain calm. He explains how it's so easy to tighten and harden and yoga teaches us how to down-regulate and soften in these moments.
