Postnatal Yoga | Yoga NOW Show

If you’ve recently had a baby, you’re pregnant, or you know someone who’s recently had a baby; this is a great episode for you. You may have noticed that in our society there is a subtle pressure on women to quickly get back to their pre-pregnancy shape (both physical and emotional).

As you’ll hear from our guest, that’s just not going to happen. But there are ways to take the new you to a healthy and physically active state.

In this episode of Yoga Now, we’re pleased to have Beth Kruger as our guest. Beth teaches prenatal and postnatal yoga classes plus other related topics; PreNatalMethod.com

Beat the Winter Blues | Yoga NOW Show

Beat the Winter Blues | Yoga NOW Show

“There is light on the horizon.” That common phrase holds special meaning for many people affected by the “winter blues”. That’s because light or the lack of it is a key ingredient in their state of mind – that’s a big deal!

If you’re fortunate not to be impacted by this mild form of depression then you likely know someone who is. However, many people don’t talk about this issue perhaps because they feel it’s personal, or they’re ashamed, and so on. It’s estimated that 15% of the population experiences some degree of feeling depressed, sad, low on energy, or un-motivated for even the most routine activities.

Sunlight is a necessary ingredient for the body to produce various chemicals that affect our brain and create a feeling of well-being. If the light is decreased significantly, other brain chemicals take-over and the opposite feeling results – a general sense of sadness or that “something is not right”.

Fortunately, several decades ago researchers began investigating this issue and made important strides in understanding the symptoms, causes, and developed remedies or treatments. Of course, they had to give it a name. In their cleverness, they came up with Seasonal Affective Disorder – S.A.D.

In this episode, our host Jane Lanza goes solo and talks with you about the winter blues and gives you some practical advice on how you can get back to your usual sunny disposition.

Yoga Retreat 101 | Yoga NOW Show

Is the whole yoga world going on a retreat? That’s how it seems from looking at my email inbox. So I did an informal survey among yogis and discovered one thing. There was a lot of misinformation and half-truths floating around. So it became clear that a discussion of the fundamentals of yoga retreats would be helpful for many people. During the filming of the show, I learned a few things and I bet you will too; especially if you’re contemplating a retreat.

In this episode of the Yoga Now Show, our guests talk about the benefits of attending a retreat, different types of retreats (it’s not all tropics and hanging by the pool), how to pack for the trip, and a really important one – how to keep the experience alive for you afterwards. Pickup a notepad and a cool drink and join us for Yoga Retreat 101.

watch the 2 minute preview

{adinserter YN OFIE 1}

Our host Jane Lanza talks with our 2 guest retreat organizers, Julia Howe Sullivan and Krissy Ruddy. The show is packed with info and tips that you may not have realized about a yoga retreat. If you’re thinking about joining a retreat, watch this before you book it. If you’re not going on one, watch this episode and you may change your mind (and keep your budget in balance).

Our guest Julia Howe Sullivan (Julia.R.Howe@gmail.com) is a certified Jivamukti and Kripalu Yoga teacher who has been benefiting from the boundless gifts of the practice for over ten years. Julia is an active member of Off The Mat Into The World.

Our guest Krissy Ruddy (KrissyRuddy.com) is a certified holistic health coach and yoga teacher who combines the most potent practices from integrative nutrition, modern psychology, and ancient wisdom to help women create a massive transformation in their body and life.

My Teacher’s Reluctant Student | Yoga NOW

Posted, September 5, 2015

My Teacher’s Reluctant Student | Yoga NOW

I walked through a room with the television tuned into a PBS (public broadcasting) channel and saw a guy talking about some new agey “stuff” and I kept on going. I made sure not to stop and listen. A couple of years later there he was again, clogging up my PBS channel with non-sense sounding ideas. However, it seems I stayed around long enough to listen a bit, then I passed judgement and proceeded to walk away.

This pattern continued every couple of years, each time I stayed around a little longer, listened a little more, and dismissed it a little less. Finally, I ended up listening to an entire program and ordered the DVDs, and books! Why? Finally, this guy was saying something that made sense. Good thing he came around to my way of thinking. OK, maybe I was the one who finally got it through my head – yah; that was it.

What and who. What was being discussed by this guy were some alternate ways at looking at what I was doing and thinking each day and alternate ways of considering what other people were doing each day. For me, the turning point was when I stopped automatically applying assumed answers to various questions, events, and behaviors of both myself and other people. That one change, gave me the freedom to consider a range of other ideas. That one change is HUGE for me. Now for the “who”.

At this point I realized I was learning stuff – I mean important stuff. How could these ideas have been missed in my life’s education to this point? (A self-imposed block is my answer.) My teacher turned out to be many of the wisest people from now, a century ago, or millennia gone by. It was all funneled and laid out for me by Dr. Wayne Dyer (his photo above); an orphan who grew up in Detroit, got a PhD in psychology, taught at a New York university, then went on to teach to all – even me.

Skipping ahead a bit, it’s safe to say, YogaNow.tv would not exist today if not for my reluctant learning from my patient teacher. Thank you Wayne!

Wayne Dyer passed away Saturday night, August 29, 2015 at the age of 75.

Just a few years ago, Wayne was asked to be in a professionally produced, feature length movie to convey his ideas to a wider audience. The movie is called The Shift and also features Portia de Rossi, Edward Kerr, and Michael DeLuise. Wayne’s longtime publisher, Hay House, is making the movie available at no-charge through September 8th. Here’s the link, http://www.drwaynedyer.com/the-shift-movie-watch-now There’s no signup at all, simply go to the link, watch, be entertained, and maybe even find some personal benefit. The choice, as always, is yours.

All the Best,
Randal – producer YogaNow.tv

Yoga with Music | Yoga NOW Show

You might be surprised by this; there are many Yoga classes that rarely or never play music during the practice. It depends on the teacher, how they were taught to run a class, and their beliefs about the impact of music on the students. There is not a clear yes or no answer to the question of should music be played during practice. In this episode of the Yoga Now Show, our 2 guests talk about their findings and experience on Yoga with Music.

{adinserter YN OFIE 1}

Our host Jane Lanza talks with our 2 guest yoga instuctors, Julia Howe Sullivan and Beth Kruger. The discussion goes into the benefits of playing music during class, the styles of music, when to turn-off the music, and they even touch on music licensing issues.

Our guest Beth Kruger (PreNatalMethod.com) is an expert on both childbirth education and prenatal yoga. She also established the Prenatal Method’s Yoga Teacher Training Program to encourage other yoga teachers to enrich and empower mothers in their own yoga classes.

Our guest Julia Howe Sullivan is a certified Jivamukti and Kripalu Yoga teacher who has been benefiting from the boundless gifts of the practice for over ten years. Julia is an active member of Off The Mat Into The World.

There are tens of millions of yoga students in the US and a great many more around the world. Spending any amount of time in a yoga class, it’s easy to observe there are many different ability levels, needs, and goals of the practitioners. So, it’s no wonder there are a variety of yoga styles or systems available from which a student may choose. Recently, Yoga NOW had the pleasure of talking with Todd Norian, the founder of Ashaya Yoga. During the discussion, Todd agreed to give us a demonstration of one of the techniques to improve lower back health.

Thai Yoga Massage | Yoga NOW Show

Receiving Thai Yoga massage is like being on a chocolate cake diet! There it is, 3 of my favorite things in one sentence. To be clear, Thai massage has a “giver” of the massage and a recipient. I’m speaking from the point of view of the recipient. Our guest, Amanda Young has a simple description of Thai massage; she calls it, “Lazy-man’s Yoga”.

This month, our host Jane Lanza and Amanda go well beyond that simple description. In fact, Amanda spends about 10 minutes during the show giving a demonstration and instruction for a massage treatment that can be practiced at home.

Both Amanda and Jane have studied in Thailand with different instructors. They both give recommendations for training in Thailand as well as books and DVDs and North American Thai massage training schools.

Our guest, Amanda Young is the owner of Shanti Mama Wellness (ShantiMamaWellness.com) in Burlington, Vermont. She specializes in Deep Tissue, Prenatal, and Thai massage and is also a Doula.

In addition to the massage demonstration, Jane and Amanda go into some depth on the following:

• History of Thai Yoga massage
• Educational Background in Thai Massage; Amanda & Jane
• Differences; Thai Massage vs. Others
• Cultural Viewpoint of Massage in Thailand
• Learning Resources
• Amanda’s Demonstration of Thai Massage (MUST See!)
