    Michele is a wonderful host! She interviewed me for my episode on January 31, 2024 “Meditation for the Real World with Ann Swanson.” She asks insightful questions and is always professional and kind. Her guests give deep insight into the emerging field of yoga therapy!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sacred Success with Erin Alexander and Katie Pine
Q: What does a tangible outcome look like at the end of the mentorship, and why is it important to end with a real-world result rather than just theory?
The program ends with mentees launching an elevated offering, having tested and refined it within a six-month framework, and leaving with a concrete, market-ready product that aligns with their unique gifts and client needs, ensuring momentum beyond the course.
Why Historical Context Matters in Yoga Therapy with Tova Olsson
Q: So you're currently working on your PhD in religious studies and without giving too much away about the thesis, how has it sparked new insights into how the modern global yoga movement is evolving?
The guest explains that her work highlights the diversity of yoga traditions and the blurred boundaries between traditional Tantra and contemporary forms, emphasizing ongoing evolution and the importance of examining gender constructions within contemporary Tantra in Europe.
The Lens of Dignity: Capturing the Beauty of Healing with Robert Sturman
Q: What is your own yoga practice like, and how does it help you stay present in challenging environments like prisons or hospitals?
My practice is a work in progress, focused on avoiding numbness and learning to hold both joy and sorrow. It includes meditation and an ice-therapy routine, helping me stay grounded so I can witness difficult situations without losing the thread of beauty and hope.
The Lens of Dignity: Capturing the Beauty of Healing with Robert Sturman
Q: Are there some things really specific that you see, or more general, that you can share about your work with Veterans?
Working with Veterans is a tremendous honor; I'm continually moved by their devotion and willingness to heal, and I've photographed amputees rebuilding their lives, illustrating how practice and humility foster wholeness.
Holistic Prana with Radhika Mukhija
Q: What daily practices do you recommend for practitioners to hold space for clients and maintain their own well-being?
Adopt a flexible sadhana with non-linear routines, focus on morning silence and breathwork, micro rituals that fit into busy schedules, and rituals that honor personal cycles and transitions while avoiding rigidity; begin again with compassion.
