Andrea Ferretti: 3 Resolutions to Set Yourself on a Path Toward Happiness
I live in a state of duality when it comes to New Year's resolutions. On the one hand, I loathe them. I loathe the intense focus on self-improvement and self-achievement that's emblazoned across magazine covers in the month of January. And yet, I love the idea of taking a moment to pause and reflect on the previous year and to think about how I'd like to live in the coming year,This episode focuses on three resolutions that really get to the heart of what has created happiness in my life: self awareness, self-acceptance, and being more loving (in big ways and small) toward others. Hope you enjoy it and I'd love to hear what you're focusing on this year. Shownotes: yogalandpodcast.com/episode30/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Andrea Ferretti: Reframing the Way You Think About Stress
On this episode, I reflect on one of the most important reads of the year for me -- Kelly McGonigal's book, The Upside of Stress. A psychologist and yoga teacher, Kelly's book is filled with compelling research about how the way we think about stress may be more harmful for our health than stress itselfShownotes: yogalandpodcast.com/episode28/ Hosted on Acast.

Q&A with Jason Crandell: Happy Hips, Hammies, & Lower Back
Before jetting off on his most recent trip to Hong Kong, I sat with Jason to answer more listener-submitted questions.

So, we talk about:* How to best work with tight hamstrings?* How to best recover when your hamstring has been overstretched?* How to find stability and strengthen the low back, quadratus lomborum (QL), and sacrum after pregnancy? * What's up with hearing about yogis having hip replacements? How can you keep your hips safe in yoga?Shownotes: yogalandpodcast.com/episode27/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Kate Holcombe: Three Yoga Sutras for Tough Times
This week I chat with Kate Holcombe of The Healing Yoga Foundation in San Francisco. Kate has an amazing story to tell -- and I asked her to tell it in the top half of the interview -- about how a life-threatening accident while studying abroad in India during college set her on the path of becoming a student of TKV Desikachar. The second half of the interview focuses on a few of the sutras that helped Kate navigate the difficulty of going through breast cancer treatment. I've never known a teacher who has as much reverence for Patanjali's Yoga Sutra as Kate does. She lights up when she talks about them and her enthusiasm is contagious.

Dana Trixie Flynn: Yoga, Jazz, and a New Donation-Based Yoga Studio in NOLA
This week's episode is like a shot of happy for your soul. I spoke to Dana Trixie Flynn, co-founder of Laughing Lotus about her new project: Dana is working on opening a donation-based yoga studio in the seventh ward of New Orleans. If you know Dana at all, you know how much she lives, breathes, and loves music -- so this new center will have live New Orleans jazz music. In this interview with Dana, I felt how uniquely suited she is to set up this studio and to nurture her students. She is all at once gutsy, big-hearted, charismatic, empathic, and bad ass.
