The Glo Podcast

We can see anxiety as a problem to be solved, or an enemy to be battled, or at the very least, a feature of ourselves that doesn’t express our true self. But Professor Douglas Brooks offers the Sutras of Patanjali, other sacred texts, and lessons we can take from yoga, to explore a pathway to understanding anxiety that is empowering rather than debilitating, nurturing and protective rather than only stressful and terrorizing, and one that will help us enter a deeper relationship with ourselves.

Glo instructor Khetanya Henderson interviews fellow Glo instructor Ivorie Jenkins. A former professional dancer for film, television and stage, Ivorie fell in love with yoga and meditation as pre-performance rituals during her time as a dancer with Cirque du Soleil. 

Khetanya and Ivorie’s conversation compares their experiences as dancers and yogis, as practitioners of an art form that is at its center outward looking, and a spiritual practice that is at its center inward. Ivorie discusses her early career influencers, her work with Cirque du Soleil, and a soulful trip to India that held some surprises for her. She reads from a blog about the experience and ends the interview with a short practice.
