We made this episode out of some inquiry work we’ve each been doing in this strange time called the “global pandemic.” Fear seemed to parade all about, including under our skin at times. We were inspired to create a different episode format to talk about things that aren’t that comfortable to talk about. You better believe we did it in a blanket fort though, making it the most comfy convo about life and death!

We thought it would be fun and educational (yes, they go together, and yes we both were A students) to do a yoga trivia episode!

In this episode, we quiz each other on the world of yoga via questions we wrote for each other. Play along with us and keep your own score!

WELCOME TO SEASON 3 OF BYOBLANKET! #blanketninjas goin’ strong!

What an amazing first guest of this season we got: Nancy Perry, co-owner of BIG Power Yoga! She was on the list. *dramatic music*

In this episode, Nancy responds to listener-submitted questions about pretty much anything–and most of the questions are on empowerment, leadership, and goal-setting. Therefore: it is good. Very good.

We had a LOT of fun with Nancy and bonus: if you are a patron, YOU get access to the bonus episode where we get even sillier and in-depth with Nancy! You may ask how you get access to this content? It’s EASY!

This is episode 12 of our second season! She is the bookends of this season: Sarah Montross joins us again to continue with yoga philosophy. We discuss the last three niyamas of the eight limbed path: tapas (zeal, heat, or rigor), svadyaya (self-study or study of the texts), and isvara pranidhana (surrender to god/source). This is an incredibly deep discussion that you know we are going to listen to more than once to get all the goodies! Make sure you’re following Sarah on Instagram @sarah_montross_yoga to see when she’s teaching and to learn more about her upcoming 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training program, The BIG Upgrade (starts August 2020!).

This is episode 11 of our second season! We had so, so, so much fun with Eliza Ogasawara, fellow yoga teacher and very warm, wise human being. This is an episode where you will definitely laugh and also relate to our journeys, stories, and insights on the subject of santosha. Santosha was many translations so we explore many of those in the 30 minute hang out in the blanket fort. Be sure to follow Eliza’s Instagram account @yogi_liza–she does a wonderful job creating great yoga content that we personally love to follow!

This is episode 10 of our second season! We’re giving you a short and sweet episode that overviews our interpretation of what the energetic anatomy system is. Janan chose this topic because she is a huge proponent of utilizing what humans know about science and physics to describe and even find proof in the things that we tend to categorize as “spiritual,” which can seem as unreal or unimportant.

This is episode 8 of our second season and someone flew all the way from Kenya to be on our podcast: Gioconda Parker! Ok, well, maybe she flew from Kenya to just come home, though she did make time to be on the show! What a special episode with such a wise, kind teacher. Gia is a master of vinyasa yoga, which is more than it’s over-simplified definition of “flow” or “movement.” Get inspired and have some fun with us: listen to the episode Follow Gioconda on IG at @giocondayoga or visit her website.
