Love, Curvy Yoga

What is a minimalist approach to yoga?

Over the past year or so, I've been learning quite a bit about minimalism and applying it to my life. What it has helped me do is get extremely clear about what's important to me and why.

In this episode, I talk about how minimalism has shown up for me, how it's trickled into my yoga practice and what a minimalist approach to yoga might mean for you.

Have you read your care instructions lately?

In one of my recent weekly emails, I shared about how I realized I need a set of care instructions for myself -- simple reminders for what make me feel best from season to season throughout the year. So many people loved this idea that I decided to expand on it here and offer suggestions on how you can come up with your own care instructions, too!

Do you have FOMO? Or JOMO?

Sometimes in life you come across something that perfectly encapsulates your thinking, and that's what happened to me when I first learned about JOMO. I'm telling you all about it -- including what it is -- in this week's episode of the podcast.

I've been the anti-poster girl for boundaries most of my life.

Can you relate?

Oof. Setting boundaries can be SO hard! I've only started to learn more about my own boundaries in the past few years -- largely thanks to what I've learned from using props and various pose options in my yoga practice.

In today's episode of the podcast I'm talking about the "props" I've been using to get unhooked from checking social media every 2 seconds, as well as how I apply that idea to other areas where I want to put boundaries in place or change them.

Have you ever fallen down a rabbit hole in your mind?

In this week's episode of the podcast, I'm talking about something that happens for me pretty much every day -- catastrophic thinking. Not sure what that is? It's when things are going along relatively well and then, BOOM, all of the sudden you're sure that sneeze is cancer and that the mail waiting for you will contain notice of your imminent financial collapse and how that offhanded comment from a friend last week means she hates you now and your friendship is ruined.

I had a real-time intense experience of catastrophizing this week, and as I worked myself through a process to shift gears, I knew I wanted to share it with you, too, in case it was useful.

So listen in and let's get into it!
