Chat Off The Mat

Evolving as a yoga student and teacher involves curiosity, somatic exploration and the desire for continuous learning, self-discovery and growth both on and off the mat.  When I first stepped onto the mat under Terry Cockburn's guidance, I couldn't have predicted the transformation that awaited me and how profoundly her knowledge and teaching would influence my own personal practice and teaching style.   Together we unravel the journey of yoga beyond just postures, sharing insights into its impact on personal growth.Terry and I  discuss: the difference between functional alignment (adapting poses to suit each individual body) vs. aesthetic alignment (visually perfect pose),the essence of a nurturing yoga practice,  creating an embodied practice - developing a deep awareness and a connection to the body,  the hurdles we’ve had to overcome as teachers, especially during the pandemic, and importance of keeping an open line of communication with students and guiding them toward health and progression in their yoga practice.  a shared love of Qigong and how incorporating it into your practice supports a healthy cultivation of energy. Through our shared experiences, we aim to inspire and support you in creating a daily practice, enriched by education and community. Terry's journey from learning yoga to becoming a teacher, trainer, studio owner and a creative energy behind the River Bird Sangha and school, reminds us of the power yoga has that shapes, not only our bodies, but our life’s direction. For thirty years, she has worked in the fitness and yoga industry as a trainer to individuals, teams and yoga schools and owned a vibrant community-based yoga studio, before pivoting to teaching online full-time with her  and partner Josh Summers.  Links: Riverbird Sangha Website                  InstagramEveryday Sublime PodcastMentions:John Munro www.longwhitecloudqigong.comLaurel Beversdorf  https://laurelbeversdorf.comKen Cohen's Book Support the showWelcome to my podcast!

You know when you're around someone with good energy.  They're happy and you feel happy just being in their presence.  But what about those times when you can sense someone's energy as being a bit more 'heavy' and you walk away from that person feeling depleted and possibly anxious.  Perhaps you're an empath?  A person who senses others' emotions, energy and maybe even physical symptoms in your body.  In some cases, you may not even realize that your aura - or personal energy field- is picking up energies from someone else's aura.  Well, we've got you covered.  In this episode, Rose and Jennifer talk about characteristics of an empath and how to determine when your energy is compromised.  They also unpack and offer several strategies on protecting your energetic field.
