PODCAST #2: Interview with My Student GioGreetings Yogi's and Yogini's I have decided to have mini-interviews with students of yoga as a conversation about the practice of yoga in their life. We all participate in a conversation with the divine but are we listening and benefiting from its grace?

PODCAST #4 - Interview with My Student Damona
It is so amazing to see how yoga offers many of us a way to see the
world differently off the mat. Damona and I sit and talk about her
practice and how its been important for her to work in Hollywood,
manage her connection to her heart all by seeing yoga is more than
stretching.

PODCAST #5 - Reacting vs. Responding Level 1/2 Class
The other day I found out something that I was not supposed to know
and got upset. I was pissed off really taking this personally then
reacted from a place of feeling lack, not being recognized or
considered in this situation. This was not the best choice for me to do
but then I went to my car and realized with a little space from the
situation that I totally reacted and didn't take a moment to ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
PODCAST #6 - Conversation with My Student Linda
INSPIRING!!! I remember when Linda came to her first class and now 2
years later she is still practicing Yoga. She definately stuck it out
and saw how Yoga offered her many opportunities to learn about herself
and work through her challenges inside and out.
Yoga Groundwork - a site that talks about some points of Anusara this site is very well done & a great resource. Thanks Jessica.

Podcast #7 - Co-create with the Breath/Level 1 Class
Just Breathe... Simple huh? We do it unconsciously more than
consciously and even if we forget to breathe it happens as long as we
are alive. If you hold your breath you will pass out then She (the
goddess) will breathe you. Once I understood how the rhythm of my
breath moved within my body my practice deepened & expanded. I
became more connected and in touch with how I felt, connected to ot ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
PODCAST #8 - Conversation with Jodi Guber
One word for Jodi is - Dedicated! Meeting up with Jodi Guber was fun. I was able to shop her line Beyond Yoga,
find cute pants (that are in the pic of us doing crescent pose but you
can barely see them.. check her site for sweet goodies) and talk about Gratitude,
who we are on and off the mat, and what this moment offers us. We even
have an interruption from her fiance (giving us 10min warning) which

Podcast #9 - Courage Level 1/2 Class (Hips, Twists, Fwd Bends)
Courage is a quality of mind and heart that all of us have or are not sure how to dive in and apply in our lives. Fear becomes the great holder of this energy bravery ushers us through it. The root of the word courage
is ifrom the french word Coeur meaning heart. It takes courage of the
heart to go deeper into the questions of who you are and who you want
to be in the world.

Podcast #10 - Conversation with Kira Ryder
One word for Kira is - Generous! I had the blessed opportunity to take X-mas weekend off in Ojai with my husband and puppy at the Lavendar Inn and had a blast hangin with Kira. (thanks to Lara from Yoga Peeps who suggested I interview her..) Ojai
has made an impact on Kira's life on and off the mat. It has taken her
deeper into herself, the relationship to yoga and life in a small town.
We shared stories and practiced in her s ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Podcast #11 - Samskara (Pattern/Imprint) Level 1/2 Class
Happy New Year! With 06 behind us and
now 007 in front of us we are standing facing the unknown. We take what
we know (our habits, fears, loves, patterns) into the new year hoping
to do things better or differently. Samskara's are patterns/imprints that you are born with, impressions you created and show up like groves in a record playing again and again. It's up to us to step into the yoga and make better choices through con ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Podcast #12 - Conversation with Bobbi Fabian
One word for Bobbi is
- Heart! I enjoy whenever she comes to class because when I look at
her, she has the most open heart and smile on any given day as she
thrives on the teachings of yoga. She is an amazing photographer who
took all the pics for my site and
also took the pictures for my wedding. I love how she sees the world
and really uses yoga in her everyday making life mor ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Podcast # 13 - Nityakarma (responsiblities) Level 1-2 Class
Being responsible and taking care of our bills, our car, our bodies
is part of yoga and action. If we ignore what we have to do then when
we want to experience other delights in life there can be difficulty
and even a disconnect without the foundation being cared for. Nitya
karma is exactly that keeping all the ducks in a row, being accountable
which the universe does all the time. Kaamya karma ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Podcast #14 - A Conversation with Elsie Escobar
One word for Elsie is - Authentic! I have known Elsie for five of
her 35 years on this planet. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to her YEAH!!!! And I must
say our connection becomes deeper all the time as we grow and share
together - she is a great friend, teacher and student. Elsie is always
true to herself and takes time to steep in her heart before she makes
choices to take action. I love her for all of her in ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Podcast #15 - Effort, Surrender, Self-study
The yoga of Patanjali offers us Yoga Sutras including the 8 limbs of yoga. Within these 8 limbs are the Yamas (social inter-action with others) and Niyamas
(inter-action we have with ourselves). There are 5 Yamas and 5 Niyamas
making them kinda like the 10 commandments of Yoga. For this class I
focused on 3 of the Niyamas - Tapas (effort), Svadhyaya (self-study) ,
and Ishvara Pranidhana (surrender to the divine ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Podcast #16 - Conversation with Elena Brower
One word for Elena is - Poetic! When I was in NYC I had time to take an inspiring yoga class at Vira Yoga
with friend and teacher Elena Brower. Amazing how energy is different
in NY and LA, in NY on foot moving with people, LA in cars seperate
from others - what a different dance on the coasts which offers great
diversity in life. In class we moved our bodies and went deep into our

Podcast #17 - Karma (Action) Level 1 Class
Karma (Action) is a word some of us refer to everyday to
explain a boomerang of events that happen from what we do. We may even
see it when we are getting a cup of coffee/tea in the morning on the
counter a "Good Karma" cup inviting up to leave a tip. I have read that
most philosophical schools say that karma is action and from what we do
there is a response to our choices, ramificatio ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Podcast #18 - A Conversation with Lisa Busbee
One word for Lisa is - Commitment! 40 days ago Lisa came to my class
at City Yoga - this was her first and that is when she decided to
partake in the 40 day for $140 program there. Looking at her I thought
she has been doing this for many years it must of been her flexible
mind and openness of being a healer that kept her in great shape. She
came to all of my classes and was working through life ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Podcast #19 - Listen, Be and Pay Attention
When we choose to soften and listen in our life, we begin to open up to
a deeper place within ourselves that is powerful on its own without
pushing it in any direction by paying close attention we flow into
be-ing. Giving ourselves permission to connect to our inner voice and
surroundings takes passive action - it's softer, more sensitive. This
may be scary for some of us to allow the world to c ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Podcast #20 - A Conversation with Emily Chung
One word for Emily is curious! She is also dedicated and has found
yoga helpful for her active lifestyle with marathons, triathlons and in
her life. Every time she is in class she gives her best and really
wants to learn why we do what we do in yoga to find the results she
desires in her body to perform better while running. I love that Emily
