Redefining Movement

Jeremy Engles is a professor at Penn State and the co-owner of Yoga Lab in State College, Pennsylvania. The Yoga Lab is known as a “guru free zone” where experimentation is embraced and no one tries to hold power over anyone else. We discuss some of the myths of yoga, such as the disconnect between physical movement and spirituality, respecting where yoga came from while continuing to adapt it, how yoga can become more inclusive, and the meaning of oneness.

Dana Hutchinson is a medical and Chinese herbalist and flower essence practitioner. When she was dealing with her own health issues, Western medicine didn’t help solve her problem, so she began searching for alternative medicine practices and came across a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. He looked not at her symptoms but at her whole body, and he was able to assess the root cause of her conditions and show her how to treat them—and she was hooked.

After this experience, Dana did all she could to gather up skills as an herbalist. She believes that we are in the midst of an autoimmune epidemic and that our stress-evoking society is only going to make things worse. If we can’t clear the stress, how can we help our bodies to at least adapt better to it?

Sometimes it’s hard to feel motivated—especially during times like these where everything can feel a bit dim. But we all have this fire within us that can transform us if we just learn to tap into it.

In the chakra world, it’s located in our solar plexus and it affects how we present ourselves in the world, what inspires us, drives us, and transforms us. And when the energy around us gets chaotic, it can dampen our own energy. So let’s get back in touch with that fire.

Sylvia Nasser is a self-employed personal trainer—and much more! While building her business, Sylvia was under deep stress, to the point of causing her lupus. One thing she had always struggled with were feelings of insecurity with her body. Then one day she had an a-ha moment when she saw that everyone at the gym was rocking their sports bras—and they all looked good! Sylvia was filled with confidence in that moment and took off her tank top to work out. That one moment gave her so much freedom that she knew she had to make it a thing, and she started the #IRockTheSportsBra hashtag.

Decades before sexual harassment cases were on the cover of every major media publication, Mike Domitrz was being brought in by leading educational institutions and the U.S. military to help them pursue a new standard of consent and respect. Mike has three books, an award-winning DVD, and he is one of the world's leading influencers and thought leaders on the topic of respect. We need to focus on all of the conditioning and behavior that we’ve been taught and unlearn what we can—while teaching a new generation the right way to respect each other.
