Welcome back to Dharma Dudes. Rocky and I are back from the Playa and were recapping from our time at Burning Man. 

• Burning Man can be such an experience, not only going to it but leading up to it. We talk about the different camps, the art that is created, but also all the people that come together to join in. It’s a great digital detox from the world. 
• No cellphone service, no email- it was such an amazing time. We tend to do a lot in our lives to keep it moving. But during this week, there wasn’t any of that, just all of us coming together. 
• The community that comes together for Burning man is one of the greatest experiences. The different walks of life converging for a week together. Not only this year but all the years that we’ve individually made the journey with. 

Don’t forget that you can join Rocky and me for a New Years Retreat in Mexico.

Foundations before Vinyasa with Tim Senesi

We’re taking it back to basics today. Tim Senesi is an Orange County yoga teacher and joins in today to talk about the importance of a fundamental practice.

• We’ve seen the advanced yoga practices and poses, and we’ve also wondered how we can get into it. Creating a solid foundation before we start to advance our practice. Even chaturanga can be an advanced asana, when the foundation hasn’t been built around it. 
• Sometimes we forget the basics of where our practice comes from and want to dig into tapas- the burning desire to deepen the yoga practice and how to set that aside from the ego. Knowing that yoga should be there to keep us healthy. 
• Tim shares what he is working on when teaching online, and in his group classes. Sharing how important standing postures can be, even when we start to look at arm balances.

Hypermobile Yogis with Adell & Celest.

Tribe, one of the reasons why I love doing this podcast is because of all the people I get to share with you. 

Today I have the pleasure of talking to not one, but two amazing women. Adell Brides and Celest Pereria. Together they are the creators of Hypermobile Yogis and are out to educate the yoga world on hyper-mobility. 

We all love a flexy stretch in our practice-but how good for our bodies can it really be? We talk about the importance of understanding the difference, in our asana practice, when it comes to flexibility and mobility in the body, but more specifically the joints. 

They also share the community of hypermobile yogis from around the world all discovering this in their practice. We talk about the awareness around this topic and how it can start to transform our practice into a more intelligent practice. 

Have a listen and stay safe yogis!

He is the author of One Simple Thing: A New Look at the Science of Yoga and How It Can Transform Your Life and world-traveling yoga teacher. 

• We dive into his book, One Simple Thing, how his interest in science lead him to start to research and study the ideas that K. Pattabhi Jois passed down to him. After a researcher approached him about a study in hypertensive conditions in African Americans.
• With this first study, he continued to study the physical and mental health changes in different people across all forms of asana practice. Researching the underlying mechanisms of the effects of yoga, leading to the creation of his book.  
• Eddie also breaks down the neurological reactions that yoga can have on the body. What happens in the body as we start to not only work on the asana aspect of the practice but the pranayama or breath work. 

Stay tuned too as he walks us through a brief breathing exercise. 

Come join One Love on September 28th in San Fransisco. My annual charity event helping support housing and resources to homeless youth in the Mission.

• We talk about how when we start to add different elements into our life, or just into our daily schedule it can start to become taxing on the body and mind. How that can evolve into a burn out, but also how these repetitive actions can fortify our minds for the next time we start to feel a burn out coming.
• Rocky and I also share what we can do to help get out of the burn out feeling. Reaching out to other people and friends to talk to can be a healthy way to connect with how we feel. Taking a step back and looking at what is happening around us can be a healthy way to understand what got us to the burn out point.
• We also dive into the different ways a burn out effects but also evolves our personal practice. Sharing how we nourish the body through asana, pranayama, journaling, and other means to step away from asking for more from ourselves.

Hearing stories like Gianna, is one of the reasons why I love doing this podcast. Creating space for others to come and share their incredible stories. Like Gianna's story, Nicole and Robyn also stop by to share their stories of how #yogasavedmylife. Check out what Gianna is sharing today: 

• Coming to yoga from working in a salon, Gianna shares her how she started to discover her personal self during the beginning of her asana practice. The stories from her personal life and self-discovery are something a lot of us can relate and connect to. But also how yoga had given her an open space to experience more life. 

• As Gianna puts in her own words, pain is pain, it registers different for everyone and it becomes the focus at the current time. Using her practice of asana as a way of recovery from a motorcycle accident and helping others discover that recovery through asana is possible.

Henry joins today to talk about creating online content. Something we see every day, from Instagram posts to full-length classes and taking the step further to start to create our own. It was such a pleasure to have him on today and talk about using technology as a way to share the message of yoga. 

• Henry shares his stories of creating online content outside his own media platform and what the future holds in creating his own library of yoga classes. Sharing the variability of putting yourself out there, what it’s like to work with different media platforms but also the experiences that surround it. 
• We also talk about the accessibility of online content for students and teachers alike. Online content can be a powerful tool when we can’t always make it to a studio and want to still connect on the mat. Sharing the beauty of yoga through technology that we use every day. We also talk about how to get started in sharing the content, from marketing and even the simple ways to create the content.

Enjoy this weeks episode.

Tribe, I am so excited to have my teacher Noah Maze on today, sharing his stories, what mentorship is like and the natural progress of seeking more knowledge. 

Noah and I dive into what it's like teaching teachers, but also the natural progression in learning that happens within us as we start to deepen our quest for knowledge. Noah also shares:

• What the Maze Method is, and how it was developed from his 20 years of practicing and teaching yoga practices. There's a dynamic transformation that happens when people come together to learn to teach yoga. Whether they come to a teacher training to deepen their practice or come to want to learn how to teach.
• What it means to learn how to learn and the process of meeting someone where they are in their learning needs. Noah shares the value in variability when we step out of the comfort zone and enter the world of teaching and learning. But also finding the gaps in the knowledge and using that to help find our unique strengths.

Don't forget you can join me in Todos Santos, Mexico for a New Years Retreat.
