Yoga Happiness Podcast by Burgundie

Burg starts out by sharing her experience watching the streaming version of the Star Wars Celebration in Chicago. And then that circles around to her challenge of balancing fantasy and reality. This, then, relates to the Sanskrit word santosha, which means contentment.

Yoga for all levels with Burgundie Miceli

42-minutes

In this episode, Yoga Rebels Lauren and Burg talk about Satya -Truthfulness. In particular, they discuss the importance of being true to yourself. They talk about being nerds, what it was like to start teaching yoga, and then they tie in Scully, Mulder, Finn from Star Wars, Snape and Luna Lovegood.

Can you think of any other characters that are true to themselves in the face of challenge? Or who aren't true to themselves and suffer for it?

Let us know in the comments and we'll discuss in an upcoming episode!

We hope you enjoy this!

In our next episode, you'll hear our new ending phrase that will replace the well known "May the Force Be With You". We're hoping to start something that will be Yoga Rebels specific.

Thank you to our loyal Yoga Rebels!

For decades there has been an argument made that the Jedi are actually quite violent and not as pure as they'd like to believe themselves to be. This is the basis for our discussion about the yoga practice of ahimsa or non-violence.

We, Lauren and Burg, are BACK with a new format for Yoga Rebels!

In New Episode 1 we discuss Aparigraha or non-attachment, non-possessiveness AND THEN connect it to Dr. Who! We'll do this kind of thing going forward. We'll talk about a yoga thing and then try to match it to a nerd thing.

If you love Star Wars, Dr. Who, Harry Potter, Alien(s), Star Trek, and any other kind of nerd thing, then you'll love this!

Also, we have a new sponsor! (Actually, our first sponsor)

This 45-min yoga practice is geared toward all levels. Beginners welcome. Do as much as you can. Let your movements follow the breath. If you're out of breath, slow your movements. If you need to go into Child's Pose to rest, do it.

Enjoy!

One of our supports made a comment about meditating to numb. That was quite thought provoking so we talked about it! Do you meditate or practice yoga? Can you relate with doing this to numb out? If so, let us know about it.

Yoga Rebels Lauren and Burg are taking a week or so off, so we'll see you again in about 2 weeks!

Yoga Rebels: Let's Talk About Mental Health by Burgundie miceli

Yoga Rebels Patreon patron Christina asked for advice on how to respond to a well-intentioned teacher trying to get you to go deeper into a pose when deeper isn't the goal. Lauren and Burg have a response for that, of course!

Yoga has its history in Hinduism, but as a practice it really has nothing at all to do with religion. Sure there are some bad players out there that have become a little culty, but I think you could say that about a lot of things. Someone looking for fame, money, attention, or whatever will take it to the extreme to woo people into their "church".

In this episode, Lauren and Burg talk about the foundation of yoga and how yoga can even enhance your existing belief system.
