What does it mean to be a "movement teacher that doesn't teach people to move?"
This episode explores how to invite freedom, exploration and permission in our yoga classes to help people find autonomy, healing and a deeper sense of self. This approach offers an accessible way to bring trauma-informed practices into your teaching.
Season 2 of the podcast is all about sharing and highlighting our global community of teachers who have specific niches and are changing the paradigm of teaching yoga in our modern world. Jenny McGrath has a curious, compassionate way of talking about big subjects and making them easily applied into our life and perspectives around yoga. We are happy to have her as a Heart + Bones trained teacher!

Ever feel like you've questioned everything about yoga, your teaching and almost quit yoga? It's called a "Yoga Existential Crisis" and guess what? It's actually a good thing. In this episode, Brea reflects on the beginnings of her crisis, sitting on the steps of an Ashtanga yoga studio in 2003 and all the learning that came out of it since.
This episode looks at why Yoga Existential Crises are healthy for us, the difference between fitting in and belonging and so much more.
