On our third episode of Yoga-ish, we share both joyful and not-so-joyful stories of past Christmases and we offer ideas for navigating the holidays if you are just NOT FEELING it this year. We all have those years -- some more than others -- but it is truly part of being human. What if you treated yourself with compassion and endeavored to find your own pockets of joy, however/whatever they may be?

This episode is a heartfelt celebration of part-time yoga teachers!

Too often, we hear part-time teachers being self-deprecating and implying that they don't feel like "real" yoga teachers.

So, we put out a call on social media for part-time yoga teachers to share your stories -- we asked you why you teach part-time, what keeps you going, and what the challenges are. We culled through the responses and share the highlights in this episode. The stories are inspiring and converge on a simple, yet powerful, truth: Part-time teachers make an invaluable contribution to the yoga community.

We're introducing another weekly episode into your feed -- it's a less scripted, more casual conversation we're calling Yoga-ish. Just like it sounds, it will be about yoga, but not only about yoga. Because, as we always say, yoga isn’t just about poses; it’s a lens through which we view life.

This week! We share Mike Tyson's unexpected wisdom, the quirky joys of our bedtime routine, what made (sort of) Jason cry last week, and how we're currently attempting to respond to the craziness of our social media feeds post-election.

Curious about online yoga teacher training? Our latest podcast explores how Jason crafted a seamless and interactive 200-hour program that brings the community together. 🧘‍♀️👥 Whether you’re a teacher or a student, learn how to thrive in an online setting.

Jason shares insights into how he structured the program to address these challenges, including creating a sense of cohort among participants, utilizing small group breakout sessions, and developing methods to help students verbalize their practice experiences.

He also touches on the importance of learning to teach yoga progressively, starting with self-observation and gradually moving to small group instructions.

If you're teacher who's interested in developing your own online yoga teacher training or those considering enrolling in Jason’s upcoming course, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tips for fostering engagement and developing teaching skills in a virtual environment.

The morning after the US Presidential election last week, Jason woke up and had to teach his 300-hour teacher training students. As soon as he finished the call, he told me how difficult it was to stay focused on teach.

Out of that experience came this podcast, where Jason shares two things: His own personal history with politics (and how it has always been separate from his yoga practice) as well as advice for teaching yoga during turbulent times.
