I’ve spoken on the podcast about story-telling and intention setting in teaching yoga, but there’s something else I feel  the need to share with you: Trust the yoga. Our words are powerful, yes, but it doesn’t always have to be complex. You can let the physical process speak for itself.

When you experience something through your body, everything changes. It’s a way in to the internal experience—the emotional, spiritual, mental side of yoga. Our movement changes our experience with the world.

So yes, the physical practice may not be at the center of your teaching, but do not leave it behind. The physical practice reminds us that if we can do hard things with our bodies, maybe we can do hard things with the rest of ourselves, too.

This episode is for the dreamers. For those of you who have a lot of creative ideas, dreams about the way things can be done. This is for people who have big goals, the kind of goals that carry a lot of emotion behind them. 

When you find yourself with this type of an idea, dream, or goal, stop and ask yourself, “why?” Keep asking yourself why, “Why is this important?” “What does this look like?” “What would it feel like if I did this?”

I’m not sure what you will find, but I hope that it will lead you in the direction that is most worth your attention. I hope that it will help you create structure and form in your life so that you can find the flow within.

How do you create dynamic, diverse movement that honors tradition? Where do we, as yoga teachers, put in the moments of deeper concentration during flow? 

Our storytelling. Focus on the body while you thread together language and the words we speak. Let the movement be the vehicle with which we embody ideas—ideas like spirituality, freedom, experiment.

Because that’s where our humanness lies: in our stories. And our humanness is makes us approachable and trustworthy teachers. We reach it through our words. Storytelling can let movement can reach even farther and even deeper.

We cover a lot of interesting topics for a podcast about yoga, but yoga is so much more than what we do with our bodies. So much of my own yoga practice is how I interact with others, how I open up my heart to them.

I want my heat to be a piece of clay. I want to be able to take pieces from my heart and give it to others, and to have others give me pieces of clay from their hearts. I want my heart to be so open to others that the clay is misshapen and lumpy and full of love. 

That is love to me: a lumpy heart, with people at the center.

How do you feel about your voice? Do you love the tone of it, how you can hear the sound of your joy, how it makes others feel? What don’t you like about it? How could you speak that would convey to others a sense of comfort, peace, or playfulness?

I want to talk to you all about our voices, and how important our voice is as yoga teachers and how we lead others. We have the power to shift the energy in the rooms we are in. If we are playful with our voice, in turn we are encouraging others to play as well, to feel comfortable experimenting and trying new things. Voice is a big part of how we hold space in a room. 

How do you express your unique voice?

Jules Mitchell is a teacher of teachers. She leans into science, where others might turn away, and makes us all the better for it. Jules is leading the way to the conversations that we need to be having.

It’s important that we pay attention to the language we use as teachers. What do we truly understand (rather than just regurgitating) and how do we communicate that? How can we clearly express what something as simple— yet as complex—as “stretching”? How can we facilitate those conversations?

How can we celebrate the feedback we receive from our students, rather than feel discouraged by it so we can better serve them, and the practice of yoga itself? We can start with the biomechanics.

If yoga is the the practice of paying attention then so, too, is poetry. A poem defies definition. It is something deeply personal, untranslatable. We use poetry to create meaning of the beautiful, brutal things around us. 

I find poetry and yoga to be so similar: how we connect breath and movement and words, how we bring attention to every moment, the creation of friction, the feeling of empathy. 

In this episode, I speak with poet, Joy Sullivan, about the urgency and the magic of poetry. We define what it is, how it provides us a haven, and how even though it might not save the world… it is the beginning.

Had a conversation with Britany Williams this week where we  discussed many things (and may have gone on a few tangents) but I loved every second of it. There is always so much to learn from the people who are really moved by what they’re doing in the world, and Britany is one of them.

If there’s one thing I’d want you to take away from this episode, it’s that even if you “fail” a thousand times, as long as you get back up and laugh it off a thousand and one times, you never really fail. Look for the fun. It’s right there, waiting for you.

I wanted to share a funny story this week about roundabouts, caterpillar soup, and hope. Change comes a little bit at a time, and what a beautiful thing that is. We're all gonna come out on the other side of this life a little more understanding.
