Seeker + Sage

Here we are! By now, we've finished reading book #1 of the Yogi Misfit Book Club. If you haven't yet finished it--no worries! Keep on keepin' on but there are spoilers ahead!

In this session, we talk about The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck and the biggest takeaways. What I loved about this book was how irreverent it was, and pointed out things that are easy to overlook. We get caught up in letting small issues take up all of our attention, but we need to learn how to give less of a f*ck. The five rules Manson puts forth on how to give less f*cks are also really solid--to challenge ourselves and put ourselves in uncomfortable positions repeatedly to grow is key.

What were some things that stood out to you? Let me know in the Yogi Misfits Facebook group!

Stay tuned for the next book (The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz):

Keep up with all book club-related things here. You'll be joining the rad kula (community) that is the Yogi Misfits.

On today's show I have Heather Titus, the creator of the Sedona Yoga Festival. I had the privilege of presenting at the festival last year, and not only was it a great experience but the community was absolutely insane. I was completely blown away at how Heather and her husband Mark had created this awesome community of teachers and people who turn up every year.

The festival is so awesome and I really couldn't recommend it enough. Plus, if you haven't been to Sedona yet that needs to change. It's such a beautiful landscape that looks like its from a different galaxy.

Hey Tribe, I'm so excited to be announcing the Yogi Misfit Book Club! The first episode is coming at you on December 26th so make sure you tune in.

Our first book is the amazing 'Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck' by Mark Manson. If you haven't read this book yet - that needs to change. Its one of those books everyone needs to read just to remember not to take life so seriously and just appreciate where you're at. Click here to get your own copy. 

So get reading yogis and don't forget to head over to the Yogi Misfit Facebook page to join the discussion.

If that weren't enough, we are going to be releasing podcasts every single week from now on. So for December, watch out for 3 new Yogi Misfit Sessions plus the book club episode. Lucky you!!

For Session 56 I was joined by Taylor Hunt. This guy is straight up amazing. He has a great story about how yoga entered his life and turned it around. From being a former addict, he now runs the Trini foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to sharing the life-changing practice of Ashtanga. Plus, he has written his own book, A Way from Darkness, where he documents his journey from addiction to health. 

This guy is a true inspiration and it was an honour getting to speak to him. Hope you enjoy!

For this week's session, I'm so happy to be sharing with you guys the amazing Dr. Lee Watson and Koreen Strauss - the awesome individuals behind Fierce Calm. 

Fierce Calm is a platform that allows people who identify with the words "yoga saved my life" to share their stories. 

Their community offers a safe place for people to come forward and share their experiences. Being able to share how we feel and what's happened to us is so important in helping us heal and grow. We shouldn't have to hide our pain and feel like we're alone in this world. Because we're not. 

For those of you who know me, yoga was the only thing that really saved me when I felt lost to the world and like I had nothing. I can't champion this initiative enough. I believe in with all my heart. I'm truly humbled to be the Global Ambassador for Fierce Calm, and I hope to bring awareness as to how yoga can change people's lives for the better, just as it changed mine. 

As always, shout out to our friends at SF Yoga Magazine for their continued support.

For session 54 I had the pleasure of speaking to the creator of Buti Yoga, Bizzie Gold. I really loved having Bizzie on the show as the conversation just got real and raw so quickly. In this session, we break down exactly what Buti yoga is and where it's going. Plus, we delve into how yoga can mean different things to different people and the importance of not judging other people's practice. 

Hope you enjoy!

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of hosting Adell Bridges at my home. She’s been living as a nomadic yoga teacher since January 2017. That’s almost 2 years on the road. In that time she’s lived and taught all over the world and called everywhere, ranging from India to London to Nicaragua, her temporary home.

The Instagram posts can make it seem like the most glamorous lifestyle in the world. But that’s far from true. In this session, we break down the pros and cons of being a nomadic yoga teacher. Nothing is held back and no topic is off limit. Listen and you’ll find out what I mean.

On a personal note, I just want to say thank you to Adell. She came into my life at the exact moment I needed her. I had been having a shitty week, but meeting and connecting with her reminded me that whatever dreams I have, I can make them real. Although we had just met, it seemed like I’d known her for years. So shout out to Adell, thanks for coming on the podcast and hope to see you soon.

For session 52 I had the pleasure of nerding out with Michelle Bouvier. Michelle is a yogi and movement educator based in San Francisco who uses bio-mechanically intelligent embodiment practices to eradicate linear forms of thinking and moving. We discuss the growth of movement sciences and how it compares to classic yoga alignments. Plus, we go deep into a yoga nerd out, with conversation varying from how colonization took ecstatic expression in yoga underground to the geometry of joint surfaces.

It was great talking to someone who uses their yoga practice to constantly explore and is willing to break out of the normal way of doing things to try something different. Hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it.
