S 1 | EP. 12 CW: Passive suicidal ideationI've invited Pamela to come on to talk about interoception. So, interoception is a word that I have never heard. Until I took my yoga therapy training and I used it a lot now when I train teacher,s and it seems like unless you're in the yoga therapy circles or in therapy circles, people don't know what this word means. And in my opinion, yin yo...

S 1 | EP. 11 If you want some entertainment, go into any Yoga Facebook group, especially ones for teachers, and type out the question, should you use music in your Yoga classes and then watch the piranhas come? I don't know why this is such a dogmatic opinion for Yoga teachers, but it tends to be. People get really worked up about whether or not you should use music in your Classes. And of cou...

S 1 | EP. 10 The role of emotions in Yin Yoga is a topic that I often see questions about from teachers and in my teacher training, or in a Facebook group. And I want to be clear here that Yin Yoga doesn't cause emotions. So, practicing Yin isn't what creates the emotions, but the emotions can come up in Yin. They often come up because we're finally still and quiet, and we have time. S...

S 1 | EP. 9 Dealing with the mind in Yin Yoga is for many of us the most difficult part of a Yin Yoga practice. Many of my students don't even realize how busy their mind is until they start practicing Yin Yoga. So If you (or your students) have ever had the experience of settling into the stillness and quiet of Yin and had to deal with the circus or soap opera of your mind you are not alone....

S 1 | EP. 8 What is Mindfulness, and how can we use it in Yin Yoga? Mindfulness has become a bit of a buzzword that seems to have lost its meaning. Originally a Buddhist concept but sadly has been co-opted and is being used everywhere from wellness circles to advertising. It seems like most people have kind of a vague idea about what Mindfulness is but can't likely define it, let alone incorpo...

S 1 | EP. 7 So today I wanted to talk a little bit more in-depth about an article that I wrote a while back for  Elephant Journal.  And I will link the article in the show notes. And the inspiration for this was one night I was walking into a Yoga studio that I teach at, and there was, just a little interaction, you could say, with one of the students from the previous classes that inspired this a...

S 1 | EP. 6 If you have ever thought to yourself, do I really need a Yin Yoga teacher training? In this episode, I talk about Yin Yoga teacher training. Specifically about why you need one if you're gonna teach Yin, and then some things to look at when you are deciding what Yin yoga teacher training to take. There are so many little details that are different when you start transitioning into...

S 1 | EP. 5 What is therapeutic Yoga, what is a Yoga therapist, what is therapeutic Yin Yoga, and how has that affected my Yin training? So what do I mean when I say that I teach Therapeutic Yin Yoga, What does that even mean? How did I change the way I taught Yin Yoga and trained teachers after taking my Yoga Therapy training and my Traditional Chinese Medicine studies? Well, for me, it's now...

S 1 | EP. 4 I'm stoked (and honoured) to bring you this interview with my teacher, Paul Grilley. Paul is the founder of what most of us know as Yin Yoga. And I'll talk more about Paul and my relationship with him. And how I came to study with him as we go into the interview. In this Interview with Paul Grilley:Paul's Yoga origin story: how he found YogaHow he started to teach and what...

S 1 | EP. 3 So I often notice, both with my students and also just in kind of Facebook groups or teacher circles there isn't a very good understanding of yin-yang theory, and that can make teaching yin yoga pretty challenging. That's why there are all kinds of confusing things happening in the yoga verse when it comes to yin and yang. And I think that's because a lot of Yin trainings i...

S 1 | EP. 3 In today's episode, what is Yin Yoga?   So whether you are new to Yin Yoga and you want to learn Yin sort of from the ground up, or whether you've tried Yin Yoga and want to dive deeper, you will want to check out this episode. So, yin yoga has been quietly gaining popularity over, I would say, probably at least the last decade and a half, if not longer, but there still seems t...
