Today is an uplifting, but serious topic about the concept of sustainability. I thought it would be great to talk about this on today’s episode because I talk about sustainable movement on the mat, and living on and off the mat in a sustainable way.
My brother, John Frank, is back to discuss the shoulder complex. John is a physical therapist, athlete, and fellow lover of movement. So often, we think that the shoulder is simple, but the shoulder is, in fact, quite complicated!
Today I’m talking all about growth mindset, and what better way to grow than to grow within your body and change your movement patterns? Today I’m going to share what growth is, and why it’s so important that we all experience growth in our lives.
Today I am discussing the forward fold! Seated forward folds specifically are a move that I do not do, nor do I teach, and today we are going to explore why.
Today I thought it would be fun to talk about several of the lessons that I have learned from my dogs!
This time of year can really be overwhelming, and this episode today will hopefully serve as a reminder that small shifts in life, mindset, your body, and your practice can truly make big differences.
Today I have a very special guest joining me on the podcast! He is an actor, activist, educator, parent, and an amazing partner: my husband, Mark Heimann.
I reached out on my social media platforms and asked all of you what you’d like to hear, and the response was great! So many of you had questions for me, so in today’s episode, I’m going to answer them.v
Today’s topic is all about the wrists. I tend to hear a lot of complaints about the wrist in yoga, though I’m sure it’s across the board. Wrists are actually in the top 5 of complaints and injuries in yoga practice!
We are going to talk about just what manual therapy is, and why it’s great if you have different issues within the body that movement patterns aren’t fully addressing.
Today’s episode is all about gratitude! This time of year can be challenging with the holidays and travel, and this idea of gratitude can be hard to grasp. I'm sharing my tips for how to practice gratitude so it becomes part of your daily life, just like movement.
Today I welcome my brother, John Frank, back on the podcast. John is a physical therapist and movement specialist. (If you haven’t already, listen to John’s first episode!) I wanted to have John back on to answer questions that were sent in by you, and to further discuss movement and anatomy.
Today is dedicated to my favorite phrase of all time: more core. What does it mean and why is it so important in your yoga practice and life?
I always talk about how important it is to RESET at the start of your yoga practice, but what about reseting during the holidays? It is the day after Thanksgiving, so today I'm talking about how to hit the reset button after traveling, spending time with family, or perhaps overindulging. Reset is an idea that we have these buttons within ourselves that we can press in order to start with a fresh plate. Since we already have two acronyms this week, I'm bringing you one more so you can remember how to reset.
Today I am talking about being a BADASS! I wanted to share my acronym for what badass means to me, based off of a speech I created for International Women's Day.
