In today's episode, I have two things for you: (1) A listener survey that I would SO love you to complete as it's going to help me shape the vision for our next season, and (2) A guided meditation! The meditation is about connecting with your inner compass and noticing how you feel it in your unique body.

I think it’s fair to say that I’m not the biggest fan of uncertainty. I mean, is anyone? In this time when uncertainty is more apparent than usual, I’m digging into what yoga teaches us about it — and how you can draw on the tools I bet are already in your toolbox to support you.

I was talking with one of our teachers lately, asking her how she was. She said, "My mind tells me I'm not that stressed, but my body says otherwise." Um, hi -- can you relate? I definitely can! So in this week's episode we dig into why this happens and how we might invite in more alignment.

In today's episode we explore Yoga Sutra 2.46: "The pose should be steady and sweet." We dig into what this looks like both on and off the yoga mat, including how to find yourself in the flow of it.

In this time of great uncertainty and our minds trying to grasp onto something, anything solid (or maybe that's just me?), I talk about something that has helped me lately: Don't Know Mind.

I find myself reaching for some perfect way of doing the pandemic when that is obviously absurd on its face. So in today's episode, inspired by a couple wise yoga teachers and friends, we talk about what it looks like to reorient toward connection not perfection -- both on and off the yoga mat.

If you'd asked me pre-pandemic what I thought I knew about presence, I'm not sure what I would have said. In some ways, that feels like a lifetime ago. But I definitely wouldn't have described it like I would now (and who knows how I will in the future!). In this episode, I dig into that in order to make space for whatever might be unfolding in each of our lives and practices.

My own relationship with my body is probably best represented by a shrug emoji right now. How about you?

In today’s episode I wanted to check in with you about this. I do that by discussing two recent questions that listeners sent in and asked me to talk more about:

1. Many times I talk myself out of doing a yoga video because the practice is too short or it is a meditative practice. I think it stems from the fact that my brain is wired to equate exercise with fitness, thinness and calories.

2. Loving our bodies even when we’re stress eating and holed up inside
