The meditation is about connecting with your inner compass and noticing how you feel it in your unique body.

I mean, is anyone? In this time when uncertainty is more apparent than usual, I’m digging into what yoga teaches us about it — and how you can draw on the tools I bet are already in your toolbox to support you.

She said, "My mind tells me I'm not that stressed, but my body says otherwise." Um, hi -- can you relate? I definitely can! So in this week's episode we dig into why this happens and how we might invite in more alignment.

So in today's episode, inspired by a couple wise yoga teachers and friends, we talk about what it looks like to reorient toward connection not perfection -- both on and off the yoga mat.

In some ways, that feels like a lifetime ago. But I definitely wouldn't have described it like I would now (and who knows how I will in the future!). In this episode, I dig into that in order to make space for whatever might be unfolding in each of our lives and practices.

In today’s episode I wanted to check in with you about this. I do that by discussing two recent questions that listeners sent in and asked me to talk more about:
1. Many times I talk myself out of doing a yoga video because the practice is too short or it is a meditative practice. I think it stems from the fact that my brain is wired to equate exercise with fitness, thinness and calories.
...2020-04-1024 minLove, Curvy Yoga175: My Bandwidth is in the Dumpster. How about You? (Season 7, Episode 16)I’ve noticed recently that my own bandwidth is greatly diminished. I started out social distancing with a positive attitude and a lot of energy. We are doing quite a bit as a family right now, and I was keeping it all up, as well as work and everyday life. I told my therapist that things were going well.
And that was true. Ish.
In this episode, I talk about the -ish part of things, how to notice and meet your own bandwidth, the advice I don't have, and the reminders I want to share....2020-04-0313 minLove, Curvy Yoga174: Guided Meditation: May I Give Myself a Moment to Be (Season 7, Episode 15)When I asked on Instagram recently what our listeners would like to hear this week, the majority chose a guided meditation. So that's what you've got! The guided meditation portion is about 12 minutes long, and you can do it from anywhere you like. It's all about giving yourself a moment to be -- exactly as you are, no expectations, nothing to change or do. I hope it is of benefit!

Of course, this is always true, but sometimes it’s definitely more acute and apparent than others. So that is exactly what we get into in today's episode. And then at the end I share a fun story from a listener because I think we all need more of tha...2020-03-2022 minLove, Curvy YogaA quick note to check in with youFree practices to support you right now: https://linktr.ee/curvyyoga2020-03-1304 minLove, Curvy Yoga172: Yoga, Ayurveda, and Seasonal Living & Practice (Season 7, Episode 13)This month brings seasonal change no matter what hemisphere you live in. So to prepare, in this conversation I’m talking about what Yoga and Ayurveda have to teach us. This is a great episode if you’ve been curious to learn more about different ways Yoga can expand off the mat to meet us in our everyday lives!

In this episode, I share some of the things that came up for me personally, the themes that emerged, and the power of looking for your own themes to discover what they have to teach you.

This one takes us into my sheroes from my favorite books when I was a kid, yogic concepts of satya and svadhyaya and much more.
I also answer a listener question about how to deal with the hurt that comes from the everyday fatphobia that is so prevalent in our culture.

Here are some hints at what it’s not (though these are close!): taking a nap, petting a cute animal, looking at videos of cute animals online, or even thinking about cute animals. :)
In addition to that, I also respond to a listener question about how to make time for home yoga practice when you’re teaching four yoga classes each week.

Super charming, I know.
Because I caught The List midway, I saw how absurd it was . . . and decided to keep going just to highlight the ridiculousness of these thoughts to myself. Because, really — have you ever really paid attention to them? I don’t know about you, but mine would have required me to become an entirely different person in about 1983.
So in today’s episode I explore my list and discuss a proces...2020-02-0714 minLove, Curvy Yoga167: The Second Arrow (Season 7, Episode 8)Tell me if this sounds familiar: you plan to do your yoga practice after work one day, but then your neighbor stops by, you need to answer an unexpected email, and then all of the sudden the night gets away from you and you don't have time to do what you'd thought.
This is a totally normal scenario that doesn't mean anything about you or your yoga practice.
That is, until what happens next.
I'm talking about what often happens next, and some ways around it, in today's episode. So if any of...2020-01-3113 minLove, Curvy Yoga166: Getting in Your Feelings (Season 7, Episode 7)"What makes me feel something?" This question from Andy J. Miller in Lisa Congdon's book Find Your Artistic Voice sent me on a journey recently.
Being and remaining open to my feelings has always been a challenge for me. So in this episode I'm opening up about what has helped me feel more and how essential yoga has been on that journey. I also share about the specific practice I do to support me in this and how it could support you, too.

If you’re not familiar with this practice, it’s a little bit but not exactly like choosing an intention for the year. I think about it as something I’m interested in being in relationship with throughout the upcoming year.
In this episode I share how things have gone with my word for this year, which has been Receptive, and then I share the word I almost chose for 2020 before landing on the one I’m actually going with.
Also in this epis...2020-01-0314 minLove, Curvy Yoga162: How to Get Off the Yoga Practice Hamster Wheel (Season 7, Episode 3)As we turn the corner to a new year, I really wanted to have an important conversation: how to get off the yoga practice hamster wheel and create a practice that actually works for you.
This matters to me SO much because I very regularly have conversations with people who think they're doing it wrong, aren't doing enough, can't get it right, and on and on. The list of ways people are hard on themselves in regard to their yoga practice is nearly endless. And, of course it is, right? We get this message everywhere!

It didn't really dawn on me that the end of the decade is near until I heard someone mention it a month or so ago. At first I didn't think much about it. But then as some time passed, I started reflecting on everything that has unfolded in the last ten years. And whoa -- it's so much! Isn't that true for you, too? Wow.
So in this episode I kick things off with a bonus Ask Me Anything question that came in after I recorded last week's episode. And then I dive into...2019-12-2030 minLove, Curvy Yoga160: Ask Me Anything (Season 7, Episode 1)We’re back with Season Seven!

Love, Curvy Yoga108: How to Customize Yoga to You | Season 5, Episode 12I think one of the biggest gifts of yoga is how it can meet your needs in any given moment. But I also think one of the biggest challenges is figuring out how to actually do that. So in this last episode of Season 5 I'm giving some examples of how you could do that!

In today's episode I'm talking about how seeing and honoring the seasons of your yoga practice can keep you practicing more consistently over time -- and with more kindness and less self-blame.

Love, Curvy Yoga106: What Season Are You In? (And Why Does It Matter?) | Season 5, Episode 10Life is a series of ebbs and flows, seasons and cycles; we’re always in a state of beginning again, assessing anew. Rather than seeing this as a personal failing, as we often do, honoring the rhythms of our lives is a way of becoming embodied, growing, and rooting more into who we are and what we’re here to do. So in this episode, we're going to explore the seasons/cycles you're in and how that information can support you.

In this episode of the podcast, we're digging into the ways we can reclaim our knowing (which is a huge source of our power!), how to figure out how your unique body signals you, and so much more.

In today's episode I'm sharing some of what this has looked like for me recently, and some ideas on how you could bring body acceptance decluttering into your own life.

Love, Curvy Yoga94: What if we got rid of the idea of imperfect, too? | Season 4, Episode 10Okay, here's something I've been thinking about lately: There's a lot of talk out there about embracing our imperfections. And listen, I'm totally down with that because it's good not to compare ourselves to perfection!
But I actually think that both perfection and imperfection might be not-useful concepts when it comes to our bodies because embracing our imperfections implies that perfection still exists -- and I don't think it does. My hunch is that bodies exist in a much more individual, changing space than that. So this week, I'm digging into that -- all in the context of our exploration...2017-07-2213 min

In this week's episode we're digging into Yoga Sutra 2.33, "When presented with disquieting thoughts or feelings, cultivate an opposite, elevated attiude," and talking about one key word in there and what it has to do with positive thinking...2017-07-1407 min
