The Momentum Replay Series replays our top episodes so that you have the chance to catch episodes you missed, and refresh on others. The idea is to support you more regularly as you take charge of 2023 (through whatever challenges may arise). Here's to health, wealth and wisdom on this heartfelt path of yours.

In this episode I interview the brilliant Dr. Emily K. Sandoz again. Dr. Sandoz is a brilliant researcher, author, clinician and a home yogi!

This episode is wonderfully inspiring if you have any interest in commencing a home yoga practice. Not only does Dr. Sandoz share how yoga is an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) consistent practice and the context through which yoga supports cultivation of psychological flexibility (a huge predictor of wellbeing!), but she also shares her own journey to yoga through 10 minute online yoga classes with three kids and limited financial resources. And, isn’t this the perfect time to get on the mat at home!

What is covered in this episode:

>> Dr. Sandoz’s journey to yoga (and yes, it took a few years from the inception!)

>> Why fighting with ‘dancer’ is a metaphor for what is going on off of the mat

>> Using yoga as a chance to look in the mirror when we are running, fighting, and hiding

>> The key roles of attention and intention in breath and movement

>> How yoga fits as an ACT consistent practice

>> Understanding psychological wellbeing and psychological inflexibility

>> Not all yoga classes are created equal and the importance of finding a good fit for you
