Yogaland Podcast - 5 Essential Ideas for Healthy Shoulders in Yoga
play

06/21/23 • 41 min

In this last of our "essentials" series, Jason shares 5 essential ideas for finding ease and stability in your shoulders during yoga practice. On this episode, you will learn:

  • Why it's particularly crucial to build shoulder stability if you practice vinyasa yoga -- and which joint (of the four) in the shoulder is the most unstable
  • A common misconception about what to do with your shoulders when your arms move overhead
  • The cue that you can give when arms move overhead that will prevent neck and shoulder tension (without leaving the shoulders vulnerable to injury)
  • Why different backbends benefit from different shoulder openers
  • How to experiment with different rotations of the shoulders in Downward-Facing Dog
  • How a simple change in your hand placement can create more freedom in your shoulders

To try a shoulder sequence from Jason at home, go to our shownotes page: yogalandpodcast.com/episode299

Yogaland Podcast - 5 Essential Ideas for a Healthy Core in Yoga
play

06/10/23 • 32 min

On this episode, Jason clarifies what we mean when we talk about the core in yoga. Once you're finished listening, the core will no longer be a vague two-dimensional region that you aspire to pummel into submission. Instead, you'll understand:

  • The difference between the abdominals and the core
  • The functions of the core -- it contains! connects! supports! It's like a Swiss Army Knife!
  • The part of the core that is typically the tightest; the part of the core that is typically weakest
  • How to counteract our tendency to be "up & tight"
  • What you need to binge on Netflix right now if you haven't already (no this has nothing to do with the core, but you'll thank us later)

It's the 300th episode of Yogaland -- huzzah! For this momentous occasion, I've decided to reflect on the past 8 years.


So much has changed in yoga and in podcasting and I wanted to take a look back together. On the episode I share where and why podcasting started for me (it was a comfort during radiation treatment for breast cancer treatment), what my aim was in starting the podcast, and what the podcasting landscape was like at that time vs. now.


I share some personal details of how these past 8 years have helped me to grow and some of the big surprises along the way.


Lastly, I read listener responses to a question I posed on my Substack: "What's your why? Why do you teach yoga?"


One of the biggest benefits of doing the podcast has been the sense of community and connection that has formed. So, I wanted to share your thoughts, feelings, and motivations to celebrate you, too!


Support the podcast by subscribing to Yogaland Substack -- you can read all of the whys from other listeners and get lots more content related to Yogaland, including the Book Club.


And a heads' up that Module II of Jason's online 500-hour starts in just a few weeks! You can go to jasonyoga.com/300 to get all of the details and to enroll.

Yogaland Podcast - Jason's Patanjali "Super Lecture"
play

07/11/23 • 167 min

Jason takes over this week to present a special comprehensive lecture on Patanjali, aka, his Patanjali “Super Lecture.” This episode essentially combines our three existing episodes on Patanjali plus additional content featuring essential philosophical concepts to teach beginners. We wanted to provide a place for all of these conversations to exist together so you have them at your fingertips. The topics we take on include:

  1. The Sutras: Unpacking Purusha and Prakriti
  2. The Sutras: Defining Chitta, Vritti and the Gunas
  3. The Sutras: Three Approaches to the 8 Limbs of Yoga
  4. 8 Essential Philosophical Concepts to Teach Beginners

Jason spends so much time teaching and discussing asana, pranayama and meditation so these conversations were a welcome change of pace for us. We hope you enjoy it.

My guest on this episode of Yogaland is therapist and yoga teacher, James Woods. About 10 years ago, in his work a therapist in the juvenile justice system, foster care system, and mental health system, James felt like he was not able to make an impact the way he'd hoped.⁠

When he discovered yoga, he felt like he found himself and his purpose -- and he decided to bring it to the kids and teachers in his community.⁠

On this episode, we talk about how yoga was the perfect adjunct to James' training as a therapist, the importance of teaching kids self-regulation, and how essential it is to feel a sense of belonging.⁠

James also shares a very wise(and crucial!) approach to take if you'd like to teach yoga in schools. ⁠

Yogaland Podcast - The Yoga of Parenting with Sarah Ezrin
play

05/31/23 • 65 min

This week, I speak to yoga teacher, writer, and mama Sarah Ezrin about her new book, The Yoga of Parenting: 10 Yoga Based Practices to Help You Stay Grounded, Connect with Your Kids, and Be Kind to Yourself. As Sarah points out right at the beginning of the episode, there are far more than just 10 practices in this book. There are 34 to be exact, but more importantly it's just brimming with both creative and science-backed ideas to help you grow as a parent, increase those oh-so-essential self-regulation skills, and foster connection with your kids.


Tune in to hear how Sarah has applied these practices in her own life, how she balances being a content creator with social media boundaries, how yoga helped her recover from her own tumultuous childhood.

Yogaland Podcast - Mind-Flow Mastery with Dr. Daya Grant
play

12/12/23 • 60 min

So thrilled to have Daya Grant join me again on the podcast this week! You may remember Daya from episode 258 (This is Your Brain on Yoga). In her role as a mental performance coach, Daya utilizes tools from her background as a neuroscientist, athlete, and yogi. On this episode, Daya shares some of the fascinating research that shares in her online course, Mind-Flow Masterclass. She shares:

  • Which mental performance tools she used to finish a half marathon (less than a year after giving birth to her second child!)
  • How exercise upregulates BDNF and the ways this is beneficial for the brain
  • How exercising during high stress times can mediate our stress response and create more resilience for our future self
  • How mantra and dristhi have been studied and shown to help settle the mind
  • The neuroscience of flow states and the four stages of flow
  • Samadhi -- Daya and I have a similar interpretation on this for householders

Check out more about Daya's offerings on the shownotes page: yogalandpodcast.com/episode317
