Listening is a diminishing art, but Swan Michelle shares how we can tune in and listen more carefully--to the vibrations surrounding us and within us. In this episode, Michelle and I chat about the importance and role of sound therapy in our lives. We touch on the science of sound's effect on the brain, the subtle body, the chakras, mantras, and beyond. This is a beautiful episode that teaches the importance of both listening and speaking with clarity and compassion.

The real question is who is the professor and who is the woo-woo? My guest Noelle Whittington or me?! In this funny and lighthearted episode, Noelle and I are chatting about the yoga practice, mantra, bhakti yoga, teaching yoga, and beyond. Even though we are cracking up the whole time, the overarching message reminds us that the yoga practice requires study, devotion, discipline--and FUN!

Along the way, we chat about our trips to India, surfing, Hocus Pocus, and ecstatic dance. And if you listen closely, you'll hear the most epic stomach growl ever.

Hala Khouri, yoga teacher and co-founder of Off the Mat, Into the World, joins the Dharma Drops conversation in this episode that touches on some of the most important points in current yoga discourse: trauma and social justice. How can yoga teachers make space for practitioners with trauma in the body and mind? How can yogis honor their needs in yoga classes as they process and heal trauma through yoga? And with all of this in mind, how can all of us bring trauma-informed practices--both in yoga and our lives--to create space for social justice?

Along the way, we cover wide territory, including hands-on assists, diversity in yoga classes, book recommendations, and more. If you are a yogi, yoga teacher, or a human being in the world--this episode is for you!

In this episode, we cover a wide range of health-related topics including gut health, stress, + wellness in the workplace. Plus, we also talk about the government's responsibilities (British and American) within collective, community wellness.

It wouldn't be a Dharma Drops episode without off-topic shenanigans though. Along the way, we chat about The Peep Show, Absolutely Fabulous, Orange is the New Black, ecstatic dance, and...the man flu.

In this episode of Dharma Drops, I'm virtually hanging out with yoga teacher Jacquitta Boone, creator of This Curvi Yogi. Though we cover many topics, the heart of the episode rests in some of the most important conversations in the yoga community right now: representation and body positivity. Jacquitta is "a curvy girl, trying to change the perception of what a yogi looks like." And she reminds us that there is space for everyBODY in the yoga practice.

Along the way, we talk about self-care, teaching yoga, spiritual bypassing, House Hunters, podcasts, and more! You know, normal off-topic Dharma Drops shenanigans.
