Look at that Amazing Creature!

Is it just me, or does it feel like name calling, judgement and being nasty is on the rise? And - within our industry specifically?

Lucky for us, I got dumped (again) and I’m using that, some Ramayana parables and a line from the incredible David Attenborough to riff on compassion, enemy-wisdom and not being quite so quick to judge.

Mental Health, Yoga, Ethics, Boundaries and More!

Today I’m speaking with Clinical Psychologist and Yoga Teacher Dr Lauren Tober at Mental Health Aware Yoga. Lauren shares with us that we’re seeing so many people drawn to yoga for the mental health benefits (the stats show that 60% of students start yoga for this reason) – so it’s fundamental that teachers have an understanding of common mental health concerns. This is particularly relevant in light of recent world events such as the #metoo movement and coronavirus pandemic. We cover some big topics and I’ve got some seriously juicy questions. I think you’re going to LOVE IT!
