  • Kristine Weber

    I really enjoyed hearing Kristine’s perspective on the profession of YT, and encouraging us to be part of the paradigm shift globally and locally of helping everyone understand the complexity of what Yoga Therapy offers.

    I also appreciated that both Amy and Kristine encouraged us to learn about the Yoga Tradition and then see how other frameworks such as the Polyvagal Theory fit into it, not the other way around.

    Thank you Amy and Kristine 🙏🏽

  • Amazing show

    I’ve been listening to this show all summer and really enjoying the conversations. I really appreciate the way you introduce sensitive topics before the conversation happens, giving the listener a choice to continue, pause or turn it off. I’ve never heard this on a podcast and it’s such a caring choice. Thank you for the work you do Amy! I’m currently in school for Yoga Therapy and this is a valuable resource. With so much love and gratitude, Catherine

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Autonomic Nervous System and Yoga
Q: What advice would you give young teachers entering this field?
Prioritize safety, consent, and client autonomy; learn to titrate experiences, and never rush into advanced practices; the goal is to help the client feel anchored and in control of their nervous system.
The Autonomic Nervous System and Yoga
Q: How do you determine what a client needs—movement, breath, or relationship?
I start very slowly, assess the client's current state, and prioritize connection and safety; often movement is gentle and seated or chair-based, with gradual increases as the client self-regulates and trusts the process.
The Autonomic Nervous System and Yoga
Q: What drew you to nervous system regulation and trauma-informed yoga?
I shifted from traditional psychotherapy to incorporate yoga because I sensed that healing comes from the body as well as the mind; the nervous system is the key mechanism, and yoga provides practical, embodied tools that people can use 24/7.
Meditation Meets AI: What the Future Holds for Contemplative Practice & Yoga Therapy
Q: What is the role of education in this AI-enabled landscape?
Education will involve personalized learning pathways with AI tutors, but faculty oversight remains essential to ensure accuracy, ethical boundaries, and to preserve the human elements of teaching and mentorship.
Scope of Practice and the Safe Container: Clarity, Trust, and Nervous System Safety in Yoga
Q: How do you approach building a safe space for students?
Make the space predictable and welcoming, communicate what will happen, and acknowledge that while you cannot guarantee 100% safety, you can significantly reduce risk by clear boundaries, exits, timings, and a calm, regulated presence.
