This week I get the absolute pleasure of posting a conversation I had with the amazing Laree Schouweiler.  Laree and I get into the deep conversations I love having right away.  We talk about our journeys in the yoga industry, how we’ve learned and grown as participants and teachers, and how the deeper philosophy we have learned about yoga has influenced our lives.

Laree does something really cool I want to tell you about.  She runs a social-justice-focused yoga festival in Decorah, Iowa called The Driftless Yoga Festival.  She is ready to have brave & sometimes difficult conversations, and she is ready to center folks of marginalized communities in our yoga industry.

Also, you’ll want to listen to absolutely everything she has to say.

Hi Working In Yoga Friends,

Welcome to a long-awaited new episode!

This week I am releasing a discussion I had in January with Ericka Thomas, a podcast host and teacher of trauma-informed practices to movement professionals.

And we talk all things trauma. There are a lot of folks who come into yoga and movement spaces looking to reconnect with their bodies. And Ericka and I talk about this, what it means to be “trauma-informed” and Ericka shares with us some tips for all us yoga and movement teachers out there who are trying to hold safe space for our students.

Find all things about Ericka on her website and follow her on Instagram @savagegracecoaching.
