Dharma Drops: Yoga, Life, Whatever

Yoga for teen girls? Had someone introduced me to yoga as a teenager, I would have saved thousands of dollars in therapy! Luckily, today's young women have yoga teacher Jane Chapman-Holt. In this episode, I'm chuffed to talk with Jane about her program Yoga for Young Ladies--a series for teen girls that teaches how to use yoga to manage the stresses of school, social life, and adolescence. Of course, we talk about many other things: British/American English; Crazy Sexy Diet; swimming; The OA; books; foot fetishes; and rattlesnakes. You know, normal stuff.  To learn more about Jane's Yoga for Young Ladies program, you can find her at: Website: janechapmanholtyoga.com Instagram: @janechapmanholt Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jane.chapmanholt To register for or be inspired by Jane's Young for Young Ladies series, visit: longwaveyoga.com As usual, I can't think of the name of a book or author. To follow-up, the diet book we are referencing is Crazy Sexy Diet by Kris Carr.

Mindfulness vs. Meditation? In celebration of our new collaboration Dani Nir-McGrath, creator of Spiritual Junkies, and I are chatting it up in a full-length bonus episode! Dani is letting go of the dogma and stereotypes surrounding meditation and mindfulness and sharing her top three ways to be mindful. Along the way, we touch on crystals, succulents, mixed martial arts, Oprah, Cops, theme songs, and more. You know, the normal shenanigans.

I'm chatting it up in my first virtually-recorded episode with Kim and Kimberly of Reds, Whites, and Conversations podcast! In this episode, we are talking about the importance of engaging in vulnerable conversations and the path toward personal growth. And along the way, we touch on Game of Thrones, the new Hulu show The Act, poetry, wine, and more. Plus, I reveal my claim-to-the-royal-throne fun fact. And to follow-up from all of my unknowns on the episode, Oprah's book is The Path Made Clear. And the poet I referenced is Nikky Finney!

Dharma Drops is growing! With listeners in 17 countries, this podcast is an evolving community of yogis and non-yogis. As such, I want to celebrate YOU! This surprise episode tells the story of my first yoga class. And I'm also sending out a request for your stories to share on upcoming bonus episodes so we can celebrate, laugh, and cry with each other. Oh, and I also spend a little time begging you for Easter candy. Normal business around here. To send in your story about your first, best, or worst yoga class email me at rebecca@rebeccawarfield.com. Or leave your story as a voicemail at 910-388-9097.  Because Dharma Drops is about yoga, life, and whatever, please feel free to send any stories you think fit into the context of the show. However, the first few bonus episodes will be focused on the first, best, and worst yoga experiences.

In this episode, I'm drinking (and choking on) kombucha with Ryanna Battiste, owner of The New School Kitchen. We are chatting about health, food, and eating habits. And Ryanna shares her 5 Rules for Changing Food Stuff. Along the way, we talk about a little 90s music, whistling championships, hog feces, books, and more.  Also, Ryanna is giving away a free plant-based eBook for all Dharma Drops listeners.

In this episode, I'm hanging out with physical therapist, medical therapist, and educator Jess Hartmann. As usual on Dharma Drops, we cover a wide range of topics: adventure, crocodiles, Game of Thrones, and more. But, most importantly, Jess reminds us that your yoga practice only has to look one way--YOUR WAY! We also release a public service announcement: don't feed the crocodiles!

Let's celebrate the month of love--with conflict. It's can't be all love and light all of the time. And if we use "positive vibes" to ignore or spiritually bypass reality, are we really experiencing the fullness of life?
