Today I share from the Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training lesson on Ayurveda. Having a yogic / Ayurvedic / sattvic diet may not seem so significant to teaching yoga but I believe how we eat is one of the most important decisions we make and it has a major effect on our mood and energy throughout the day. Ayurveda has known incredible methods to optimize our diet, energy and mood for thousands of years and many of them are being validated by modern science and research today. I share 5 of the most important ways to create an Ayurvedic / sattvic diet whether you are completely new to the topic or have been practicing it for decades, there are always new layers to explore.

What is the main reason most people practice yoga? If it is to increase flexibility then what is flexibility? We most often think of doing this with stretching but often only in one style of stretching - did you know that there are at least 4 types of stretching? I'll share about them in today's episode including one that I would never teach and why some teachers do suggest doing it.

Yoga Anatomy is one of my favorite topics to teach and study - but it took a long time for me to really make sense of it. One of the more fascinating aspects of yoga anatomy is the fascia. This incredibly strong, yet adaptable connective tissue connects every muscle and bone of the body. How do we work with this tissue? Why is it so important? I'll share all about this in today's episode.

Today is the last day to join the Quietmind Membership at http://www.quietmind.yoga/membership - 80+ video classes + new monthly themes + amazing global community. Tomorrow we start our new series working with Ayurveda, the sister science of yoga to learn your dosha (type) and create habits and practices to create balance, focus and live in alignment with what matters most to you. 

In this episode I share some thoughts from inside the Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training about how important meditation is and the ONLY thing that we truly have control over is our attention + how to direct that attention to notice which areas of our lives are out of balance / "de ranged" either deficient or excessive via the Chakra system. I'll share specific meditations you can use for each chakra and offer a free PDF download that lays it all out for you at http://www.quietmind.yoga/meditations

Today on the podcast I'm sharing insights on Mindfulness from the Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training -- Did you know that the word "mindfulness" has it's roots in Vedic teachings just like yoga? It gives a whole new meaning to the word that I haven't heard anyone else teach about before. I'll also share fascinating brain research from monks who have meditated 50,000+ hours and how even a complete beginner can change their brain in a single mindfulness meditation session.

Today I share a major topic Im teaching inside the Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training. At the core of yoga philosophy is Samkhya philosophy -- a lesser known and far less practiced philosophy that includes an understanding of creation based on 2 qualities: parusha and prakriti (something and nothing), similar to yin and yang, stirha and sukha and other pairs of opposites. From them comes the 3 gunas: sattva, rajas and tamas which I will share about today. Learning these three qualities completely changed my approach to life and practice. Everything can be understood through these three qualities, making it an essential part of yoga philosophy. Excited to share all about it with you on today's episode!.

One of the most popular episodes here was "How to Choose A Yoga Teacher Training" all the way back 20000 years ago in Sept 2019. 

So much has changed since then, and I've heard from students who are really disappointed with their newly online trainings. I decided to have my Yoga Teacher Trainings be online even before the pandemic because I have found it to be a better learning environment when done well. In this episode I'll share about these 15 questions to ask when choosing an online Teacher Training in 2020. 

1. Who is leading it?
2. What is the schedule?
3. What styles will I learn?
4. Have they done it online before?
5. What is the curriculum?
6. Is it all just on Zoom? / Is there an online classroom? A FB Group?
7. Do you get to practice teaching? Or just one curriculum?
8. What accountability is there?
9. Are there any extra costs?
10. Is there any required reading?
11. How much does it cost? Are there payment plans?
12. What are the requirements for certification?
13. Is it well organized and fun?
14. Is there business training?
15. What does my intuition say?

I received a message recently asking what it's like to be a full time yoga teacher. What can you expect? I'll share all about that today and why self care is the most important thing to focus on first and why many yoga teachers neglect this. I'll also share why 8 hour work days are not necessary or even effective for yoga teachers and how many hours I typically work in a day, and what I focus on. I'll address one of the more common mistakes I have seen among teacher that can lead to struggling to pay bills despite teaching all the time, and how I have created a life of only doing work I love while making a great living and being able to genuinely help others.
