From Mat to More

Episode 3: In this episode, Talon takes a break from philosophy to explain some common yoga formats:

1. Vinyasa
2. Hot Yoga (previously known as Bikram)
3. Ashtanga
4. Hatha
5. Yin
6. Restorative

You’ll end this episode with a better understanding of the options for physical practice, or asana, and feel confident signing up and showing up for classes in-studio. Each format serves a different season — of life and Earth — and Talon walks you through the options so you know there’s yoga class to support you at any given time.

Episode 2: Talon breaks down 3 main pillars for you to begin understanding the practice beyond asana (or physical postures):

1. Svādhyāya (self study)
2. Tapas (discipline and fire)
3. Ishvara pranidhana (devotion to the divine)

These pillars provide a starting point to unlock the next level of your practice and challenges you to make yoga your way of living. There’s elements of introspection, insight, and inspiration for all!

Episode 1: Welcome to the very first episode of Bridge the Gap: From Mat to More, the podcast where we bridge the ancient teachings of yoga with our modern world!

We dive straight into the deep end with this one to define what the ancient practices of yoga are really about. Starting physically first, we reflect on your own introduction to the practice and how that may have peaked your curiosity for more. I’ll define yoga at its origins, tell you what we’re really working towards, and share some silly stories in the process.

Whether you’re new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, understanding its roots and essence can deepen your yoga practice and enrich your life. Let’s dive in!
