  • #28, Ft. Sheffy Minnick | Growing up with yoga, running, the myth of conflict resolution
    In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with my PSU "frat brother" (AKPsi, what's up!?), Sheffy Minnick, about the ways in which yoga has helped her bounce back from setbacks, from a young age to today. It was beautiful to hear about how in her childhood in India, yoga was approached as a medicine, and how she now shares this with her own children. We also talk about her passion for running, dance, and her fascinating role as a Facilitated Dialogue Practitioner and a Sociologist. 
    As the Facilitation Training Manager for World in Conversation, a Center for Public Diplomacy at Penn State University, Sheffy has dedicated over a decade of her career to developing, designing, and teaching students the fundamentals of sociological conversations. The work she does is based on research, development, and execution in the realm of sociology and dialogue. When she is not working, she is running, writing, and mothering two beautiful kids (seven and four). As she says, "everything I do is a piece that continues to create who I am."

    We can't wait for you to hear this month's BBP episode, and we wish you many bounce backs!

      • #24, Ft. Keith Golden: A mission to inspire continues

        "Strong Practice, Strong Life"

        Welcome to Episode 24, where we catch up with THE Keith Golden, our very first guest on the show, to chat about how a couple of things have evolved over the last year and a half like: 

        • How Keith's practice/teachings have evolved towards functional movement 
        • Whether or not we are still down to teach Donald Trump a class 🙄 (taking one for the team here, he clearly needs it) 
        • Men in yoga
        • How Keith has continued his mission to inspire

          • .... and more. We also talked about:
