Let's Talk Yoga

Non-violent Communication for Yoga Teachers with Judith Hanson Lasater


Listen Later

While I’m still in India, I wanted to revisit one of the most meaningful conversations I’ve had on the podcast, with Judith Hanson Lasater on non-violent communication for yoga teachers. I chose to share this episode again after receiving a surprising email that made me reflect deeply on how we speak to our teachers, students, and each other in the yoga space. This conversation is a beautiful reminder of how Ahimsa and respect show up not just in our practice, but in our communication, especially in the hard moments. I hope it offers insight, grounding, and a fresh perspective.

Episode Highlights:

  • What is non-violent communication? 
  • Is NVC more significant for yoga teachers? 
  • NVC is not for others but for us
  • How to engage with empathy? 
  • Who is NVC for? 
  • Where does violence start in communication? 
  • Cancel culture in the yoga world 
  • Should we respond to cancel culture in the yoga world?
  • NVC exercise live on the podcast about cancel culture 
  • What are we giving our presence to? Why it matters? 
  • How to ground ourselves & act from empathy
  • Difference between feeling & judgments 
  • Clarity of intension 
  • Updates about Judith's latest book
