Emily Hightower show notes

Welcome back to another week of Move Breathe Live with Wibbs Yoga and Spirit Wren. This week I am super happy and excited to be chatting to my good friend and constant inspiration Emily Hightower. Emily is a yoga teacher, breath work coach, resilience coach, part of the shift adapt team along side Brian Mackenzie and Rob Wilson bring education around breath work, stress and ways to cope with what life throws at them. 

We discuss the ideas around breath work being something that can be bother helpful but also dangerous for the person doing it, how hyperventilation can be a great practice but also a risk for many people without the knowledge of what they are doing and why they are doing it.

This is part of 3 back to back episodes with a group of people really bringing Stress and Breathwork to the forefront of attention in the world of social media. There are many many people doing such great work to bring education to a platform that to often is used to vain, pointless ego driven desires. But that is not Emily…Let me know what you think of the episode and please subscribe, rate and review

And so we continue. This week jens in Byron

Back to the yoga teachers for this weeks chat. This week I had a chat with the wonderful Hannah Stewart from yoga reloaded. I have been following Hannah and her work on instagram for a little while now and she has really been someone that has just totally shone through as a light of honesty and truth and calling out the bullshit that much of the yoga world, especially on social media seems to thrive. 

We dive into the world of anatomy in yoga, how bad many training are for this an why perhaps picking a school to o your yoga training at that focuses a little heavier on a strong anatomical back ground can really make a difference to you developing your own practice in a safe and effective manner.

We also, most importantly discuss our love of not taking ourselves to seriously in and around the yoga world and why we use #yogawanker #yogatwat.. this is really an important part of the chat in my eyes hahah, taking some of the ego/bullshit out of the beautiful insta yoga world.

If you would like to follow Hannah head to instangram/hankatbarles or go check out all her incredible content over at yoga reloaded.org for course and education done the right way.

Continuing jens journey through australia and NZ from 8 years ago. Enjoy the cringy nature and jens infectous laugh as life unravels it self to show just how far she has come emotionally and physically . 

Taking a tip from the thrice song called everything belongs and the lines 

"There's a web and every thread ties you to me

and how when ever I hear these lyrics I thinks of wren and how she will often look at her depression/anxiety/strong empth tendencys as weaknesses and things which drag her down, yet I see them as strengths that have made her into the kind/loving/incredibly caring nurse/woman and wife she has become.

It becomes a chat about trying to observe life through a multitude of lenses in yourself and in others in your life and how we can finally seeing that our weakness makes us strong And everything belongs
