Kate highlights the flexibility of yoga, including the length of practice, timing, and integration into family life. She also reflects on her personal journey, from a college student under the guidance of TKV Desikachar to raising four children and overcoming breast cancer. Kate encourages us to be both accountable and gentle with ourselves in our daily practice, even if it means just one minute a day.

Whether you have just one minute or an hour a day, Kate's words encourage us to embrace yoga as a support system for life, rather than a rigid routine.

In this captivating episode, we are joined by the insightful Spring Washam, who takes us on a transformative journey through the realms of yoga, meditation, plant medicine, and ancestral connections. Spring's path to self-realization began with profound books like "Autobiography of a Yogi" and "Man's Eternal Quest for Meaning," but her personal journey was marked by hardship, witnessing suffering, addiction, and trauma. She found solace and liberation in the practices of yoga and meditation, learning to distance herself from the stories of her own mind. A pivotal three-month meditation retreat in 2007 shattered her old self, leading to newfound freedom from self-hatred, attachments, negative thinking, and habitual patterns. Her exploration took her to the mountains of California, where she encountered Ayahuasca and experienced profound healing. This experience led her to South America, where she learned from Indigenous elders, becoming a shaman herself. Through plant medicine journeys, Spring discovered that our ancestors live within us, and by healing ourselves, we can heal generations that came before and after us. Her journey also led to the creation of "The Spirit of Harriet Tubman," a book that is now helping countless people heal ancestral wounds and find their life purpose.

Bullet Points:

• Spring Washam's journey from reading spiritual books to finding relief from suffering through yoga and meditation.
• The realization that identifying with one's thoughts can lead to suffering and how meditation helps create a gap for self-awareness.
• Transformative experience during a challenging three-month meditation retreat in 2007.
• Liberation from self-hatred, attachments, negative thinking, and habitual patterns of the mind.
• Exploration of Ayahuasca and healing old wounds, leading to Spring's training as a shaman.
• Understanding the connection between ancestral healing and plant medicine journeys.
• The idea that healing ourselves can bring peace to our ancestors and future generations.
• Spring Washam's response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the creation of "The Spirit of Harriet Tubman."
• How "The Spirit of Harriet Tubman" is helping people heal ancestral wounds and discover their life purpose.

Join us on this illuminating episode with Spring Washam as she shares her profound journey of self-discovery, healing, and connecting with our ancestors. Through the powerful practices of yoga, meditation, and plant medicine, Spring reminds us that we can transform our lives and heal generations that came before and after us. Her work, including "The Spirit of Harriet Tubman," serves as an inspiring testament to the possibility of profound healing and the fulfillment of life's purpose. Don't miss this opportunity to gain insight into the remarkable journey of Spring Washam and the wisdom she offers to those seeking a deeper connection with themselves and their ancestors.

Introduction: Welcome back to another enlightening

episode of "The Yoga Therapy Hour." Today, we're delving deep into

the world of yoga and self-acceptance with our special guest, Nyk Danu. Nyk is

a yoga practitioner and therapist with a unique focus on helping those who feel

like they don't quite fit into mainstream yoga circles – the misfits of the

world. Nyk's journey started with anxiety and back pain, and she's now

dedicated to assisting others on their paths to self-discovery and healing.

Segment 1: Embracing the Misfits Nyk Danu introduces

herself and her mission, emphasizing her affinity for working with the

"Yoga MisFits" – a community of individuals who don't feel at home in

traditional yoga environments. Nyk shares her personal experience of initially

doubting yoga's appeal, only to be pleasantly surprised by the sense of

embodiment it brought and the alleviation of her anxiety. She describes how

others who feel like outsiders in the yoga world are naturally drawn to her.

Segment 2: The Practice of Non-Judgment In this

segment, Nyk and the host, Amy, engage in a deep discussion about

self-awareness and the practice of non-judgment. They explore how meditation

and asana practice can help individuals recognize their assumptions and

expectations, both about themselves and others. Nyk encourages listeners to

step back and find humor in their own judgments while learning to let go of the

stories they create in their minds about people.

Segment 3: The "Come as You Are" Mentality Nyk Danu

shares her philosophy of the "Come as You Are" mentality in her yoga

classes. She discusses the importance of allowing individuals to be themselves,

even if that means simply resting on their yoga mats during class. Nyk

emphasizes the value of listening, leaning in, and discovering what makes each

person unique and different.

Segment 4: Cancel Culture and Cultivating Curiosity Amy and Nyk

dive into a thought-provoking conversation about cancel culture and its impact

on the yoga community and society as a whole. They reflect on their own

experiences of facing cancelation from yoga teachers and how they emerged from

rejection stronger. Instead of canceling others, they encourage curiosity,

questioning, and challenging one's own beliefs to foster greater understanding

and connection with those who have different perspectives.

Conclusion: In this episode of "The Yoga Therapy

Hour," Nyk Danu has illuminated the path to self-acceptance, embracing

misfits, and challenging our judgments in the world of yoga and beyond. As we

reflect on the transformative power of yoga and the importance of curiosity and

compassion, let us strive to be more open-minded and accepting of others,

recognizing that we are all imperfect, flawed humans on our own unique

journeys. Thank you for joining us today, and remember, you don't have to fit

in to find your place in the world of yoga.
