Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sankalpa: The Missing Piece in Your Yoga with Medha Bhaskar
Q: How can one begin the process of finding a Sankalpa?
Begin with a regular, patient practice—dedicate time to reflect on what inspires you, ask why it's important, and continue to probe inward with multiple rounds of questions until a clear, resonant direction emerges.
Sankalpa: The Missing Piece in Your Yoga with Medha Bhaskar
Q: How do Sankalpa and affirmations or manifesting differ?
Affirmations and manifestations tend to be shorter, more material, and time-bound, while Sankalpa is broader, rooted in inner alignment and Swadharma, and works on shaping the environment of your life by aligning with deeper values.
Sankalpa: The Missing Piece in Your Yoga with Medha Bhaskar
Q: What is a Sankalpa and where does it sit in yoga?
A Sankalpa is an intent or resolve that channels one's will toward a life direction. It comes from ancient yogic texts and sits beyond quick affirmations, functioning as a long-term, guiding commitment that shapes thoughts and actions.
Bandhas 101 - What Yoga Teachers Need to Know with Sandra Anderson
Q: What exactly is a bandha and what is it sealing?
A bandha is a physiological and energetic mechanism to redirect or regulate prana, not just a simple lock. It involves stabilizing certain centers in the body to control energy flow, integrating gross physical actions with subtler energetic processes.
What Yin Yoga Is Really Doing to Your Body with Vinay Jesta
Q: What should a listener look for when choosing a Yin training or program?
Look for a training that balances anatomy with energetic/meridian insights, teaches about tensions and compressions, discusses skeletal variations, and provides practical guidance for safe sequencing and adjustments, ensuring a holistic approach to body and emotion.
