I’m not just talking about the ones we all know, fight, flight, and freeze. There are three more “F”s that belong to that system! Today I want to share with you the DENT(Dynamic Experiential Narrative Theory) model of trauma. Let’s discuss: 🔹Your body’s different responses to trauma,...

Today, I interview one of my biggest mentors, Elena Brower. I ask her about the tension many of us feel as yoga teachers: How do we honor our own personal practice (which may be morphing away from the style of yoga we’re known for), while still meeting our students' where they are?

info_outlineCandid conversation alert! Cozy up with me and my friend Sarah Ezrin where we talk about teaching yoga, being moms and why we strengthen our nervous systems by visualizing our children falling from the monkey bars at playgrounds while performing pranayama techniques (not kidding!).
Sarah started out working in the adrenaline-fueled film industry. Then, took that “hustle energy” into her yoga teacher career, resulting in burnout. After much heartbreak and loss, she wasn’t sure she ever wanted children, but now applies ancient yogic wisdom to motherhood. This is a beautiful listen for any yoga teachers, prospective parents or those with kids at home.
