Episode 17: Rekindling Yoga’s Power of Liberation

5/23/2023
Liberation has been forgotten in the modern yoga movement, especially modern postural yoga, from which today’s yoga studios, yoga teacher trainings, and yoga organizations have arisen. And yet, if we put the liberation back into yoga, we can use it as a tool for liberation. While my focus is specifically neurodivergence liberation, disability liberation, and […] The post Episode 17: Rekindling Yoga’s Power of Liberation first appeared on The Chicken Yogi Show.

Explaining The Autistic Yoga Teacher & Fibromyalgia Yoga Teacher Blogs

3/28/2023
In today’s episode I do a little “shameless self promotion” by talking about a couple of sub-blogs in the Chicken Yogi universe. Please forgive the fibro fog.

But in this episode, I discuss my philosophy and the reasons why I have sub-blogs for both […] The post Explaining The Autistic Yoga Teacher & Fibromyalgia Yoga Teacher Blogs first appeared on The Chicken Yogi Show.

What’s Wrong With the Narrative of Control

2/28/2023
On the blog lately I’ve been talking about connection and how the wellness wheel doesn’t exist in isolation. Last episode, I talked about expanding the wellness wheel by adding charkas and energy work. However there’s one thing that both our western health and wellness models and the mindset manifestation/Law of Attraction (LOA) coaches get wrong: […] The post What’s Wrong With the Narrative of Control first appeared on The Chicken Yogi Show.
