| 5/26/26 | ![]() 175: What's Saving My Life Right Now | In this solo episode of The Mentor Sessions, I'm sharing a more personal, behind-the-scenes look at my life right now and the things that are genuinely helping me stay grounded, connected, and functional during a very full season of teaching, parenting, and activism. After asking on Instagram what kinds of episodes you wanted more of, one request came up again and again: more real-life context about how I make all of this work. So in this episode, I'm walking you through the practices, systems, apps, routines, communities, and relationships that are "saving my life" right now. I talk honestly about balancing a full teaching schedule with motherhood, creating sustainable routines that support my nervous system, deepening my activism work, and building a life that feels aligned with my values—even when it's imperfect. From romance novels on my Kindle to strength training at 5:30 a.m. to building community through the The Mentor Session Sangha, this episode is a candid snapshot of what's supporting me in this season of life. In this episode, you'll hear: Why the Libby app completely changed my reading habits How the iPhone "send later" text feature helps me communicate without feeling constantly available The way I structure my work schedule around my family priorities Why having a clear shutdown routine before picking up my son makes such a big difference How activism has become one of the most meaningful parts of my life Why I use ScreenZen to limit social media access The political podcasts helping me stay informed without completely burning out How keeping a running list of things to look forward to boosts my mood and perspective The consistency of my movement and meditation practices Why the The Mentor Session Sangha continues to challenge and support me as a teacher Resources Mentioned: Libby App Emily Henry Ali Hazelwood Christina Lauren Kate Clayborn ScreenZen Pod Save America Chamber of Mothers Singing Resistance Indivisible Kearsten Lyon of Toronto Movement Therapy Susan Piver Habit Tracker App The Mentor Sessions Sangha OfferingTree is a proud sponsor of this episode and I am honored to be an affiliate.

| 5/12/26 | ![]() 174: Yoga For Cancer with Tari Prinster | You may not have known it, but if you teach public yoga classes you have taught someone who's life has been touched by cancer. In this episode, I'm joined by Tari Prinster, a true pioneer in the field of oncology yoga. Tari is a cancer survivor, author, and founder of Yoga for Cancer (Y4C), a methodology that has trained thousands of yoga and healthcare professionals around the world. We go deep into what it really means to teach yoga in the context of cancer, and how this work has evolved over the past few decades. Cancer is not going away, and with survival rates increasing, the need for informed, compassionate yoga teachers is greater than ever. In this episode, you'll hear: The origins of Yoga for Cancer and how what began as a personal practice quickly evolved into a groundbreaking methodology—at a time when oncology yoga didn't exist. How the cancer landscape has changed including the major shift from cancer being seen as a death sentence to a condition where the majority of people now survive. The huge implications for yoga teachers and the role we play in long-term wellness now that there are 20 million cancer survivors in the US. The physiology behind Yoga for Cancer, including: The role of the lymphatic system in detoxification and immunity How breath and movement support lymph flow Why inversions and specific movements can either help—or hinder—recovery The impact of cancer treatments on bones, fatigue, and overall health About yoga4cancer (y4c) yoga4cancer (y4c) is a specialized oncology yoga methodology founded by cancer survivor and master yoga teacher Tari Prinster.

| 11/18/25 | ![]() 163: The Four Reminders (It's A Pep Talk!) | In this episode of The Mentor Sessions, I share something a little different: a Dharma talk I recently offered in my monthly class for yoga teachers. These monthly gatherings are one of my favorite places to teach—intimate, thoughtful, and deeply rooted in practice—and this particular talk felt important to bring to the podcast. Over the last several months, as the political situation in the United States has become more extreme and more frightening, I've been turning again and again to a Buddhist teaching known as The Four Reminders. These contemplations come from the Tibetan Buddhist lineage, and while they are simple, they cut right to the heart of what matters most. They have become the anchor of my own personal practice during this time of rising fascism, fear, and widespread suffering. In this episode, I share how I came back to these teachings—interestingly, prompted not by the worst harm being done in this country, but by the moment Jimmy Fallon was taken off the air for criticizing the administration. Watching someone with so much privilege get silenced instantly made me realize that we weren't sliding toward fascism. We were already living inside it. And from that moment, I knew I didn't want to get stuck in despair. I wanted to stay awake, engaged, loving, and grounded. The Four Reminders helped me do that. In this episode, you'll hear: Why these four contemplations feel so powerful and clarifying How reflecting on the preciousness of human life expands our compassion for ourselves, each other, and the planet The truth of impermanence — and how it can become a liberatory force rather than a source of fear The reality of karma and interdependence, and why even the smallest actions matter The universality of suffering, and why it is not inevitable How these teachings help me hold a vision of a world where every being is safe, free, and fed Why joy is not a luxury but an essential part of practice—especially in oppressive times The role of protest, collective action, and tiny daily choices in shaping the world we believe is possible After the Dharma talk, I share some of the reflections and questions that came up in conversation with the teachers in class. One theme that surfaced again and again was how grounding it feels to hold a positive vision—not in a naïve or spiritually bypassing way, but as a guiding truth that helps us stay resourced, energized, and committed. I talk about the small actions I take to stay connected to this vision, like calling my representatives or supporting my local food bank, and why these seemingly insignificant acts matter. We may not see the fruits of our labor in our lifetime, but as the Gita reminds us, that doesn't mean the work isn't ours to do. If you're feeling overwhelmed right now… I hope this episode reminds you that your life is precious, your presence matters, and your choices—however small—ripple outward. I hope it gives you permission to feel your grief and to feel joy. And I hope it encourages you to stay rooted in your own vision of what is possible for humanity. Thank you for being on this path with me. Resources Mentioned: Studio Success Checklist OfferingTree is a proud sponsor of this episode and I am honored to be an affiliate.

| 11/4/25 | ![]() 162: The Purpose of Asana Part Two With Cecily Milne | Before this recent solo episode, The Purpose of Asana Ep 159, was even released my friend Cecily Milne reached out to say she was so excited to listen to it and chat about it! We decided to record our conversation for all of you, so today we have Part Two! In this episode Cecily and I dive into what makes asana unique compared to other movement practices, we discuss the nuances of teaching with specificity, and tackle the evolving role of the yoga teacher in today's landscape. We also unpack how our approaches to asana practice and teaching have transformed over time, the importance of intentionality versus invitation in cueing, and how to empower both educators and students to understand their why for every cue and pose. In this episode you'll hear: how Cecily defines specificity not as rigid alignment but as purposeful decision-making how safety and empowerment come not from removing structure, but from offering clear, intentional containers within which students have agency and choice the importance of movement education — understanding anatomy, joint actions, and functional progression the dangers of both overly dogmatic cueing and "anything goes" teaching styles practical tips for teachers on knowing the "why" behind each pose and cue Cecily Milne (she/her) has been teaching yoga and movement since 2009. When teaching became her full-time job, the lack of variety in her practice resulted in repetitive strain injuries. These injuries led Cecily to seek guidance from outside the yoga community. She dove headfirst into education, becoming a FRCms and Functional Range Assessment provider. Cecily spent a year studying with Dr. Guy Voyer DO to complete his Somatraining program and become certified in ELDOA levels 1-3. She has also trained with Ido Portal and Gymnastic Bodies, and credits her strength training approach to the years spent learning from coach Lovedeep Dhunna, whose primary influences included Paul Chek and Charles Poliquin. In 2015, Cecily created Yoga Detour—a bridge between yoga and the other movement modalities our bodies need. She shares Yoga Detour with a global audience through online courses, a virtual studio, and in-person events that have taken place all over the world.

| 10/7/25 | ![]() 160: Having A Point of View Makes You A Better Teacher + Studio Owner with Michael Jay | If you've ever dreamed of owning a yoga studio, or you are curious to hear what experts are saying about the yoga industry and its future-- this episode is for you! In my first "podcast swap" I had an awesome conversation with Michael Jay, a long-time teacher and yoga studio consultant who is also known as @YogaBizChamp. Michael is a Certified Business Consultant who helps yoga studios open with impact and grow with intention. With 13 years of studio ownership under his belt—including surviving two recessions and eventually selling his profitable business—he now coaches studio owners across the globe through every stage of their journey. Whether you're launching your first space or trying to regain control of a growing studio, Michael brings real-world strategy, a marketing mind, and "in the trenches" support that meets you where you are. He also hosts the Yoga Biz Champ Podcast, the go-to resource for studio owners who want honest talk, real advice, and a solid game plan. Together, we explore the evolving yoga industry, the role of studio owners in elevating their teachers, and why having a clear point of view is more powerful (and sustainable) than trying to be everything to everyone. In this episode, you'll hear: how yoga studios have shifted from community-led to franchise-driven — and back again why teachers fresh out of training aren't always ready for studio life (and how to mentor them well) the difference between "niching down" and developing a true teaching point of view why your yoga studio is only as strong as the teachers who represent it how community studios today can compete with franchise studios real talk about industry changes, competition, and what makes studios sustainable in 2025 and beyond Learn More From Michael: Visit Michael online Follow Michael on Instagram Yoga Biz Champ Podcast This episode is sponsored by OfferingTree!

| 9/23/25 | ![]() 159: What Is The Purpose of Asana? (A Deep Inquiry) | If I were to ask you what the purpose of asana is, what would you say? Would you say it was to feel better in the body? To build strength and flexibility? To prepare the body for meditation practice? To help people connect more deeply to their breath and themselves? These are all beautiful answers!! But if you gave a very specific movement cue or alignment principle when teaching asana, and I asked you what the purpose of that was, what would you say? I think many of us value clarity and specificity in our teaching, but because of the way we were trained to teach movement, we fall into highly dogmatic or aesthetic based cueing even when that doesn't honor our values. Today's podcast episode is a deep inquiry into the purpose of asana, especially as it applies to teaching movement in a specific and precise way. In this episode, you'll hear: a long list of priorities to choose from in your asana teaching why it is so problematic that yoga is sold as a healing practice and taught as a performative practice how this question shows up differently in group classes and private lessons what true co-creation with your students looks like what I prioritize in my movement teaching and why how I recommend you move forward in this inquiry Download The Ultimate Marketing Checklist for yoga teachers from our friends at OfferingTree.

| 9/9/25 | ![]() 158: The Yoga of Calling In with Janie Ganga (A Public Apology) | This is a vulnerable episode for me to share, but it was very important to me to record and release this episode because it highlights something I don't think we see enough: people in positions of power, privilege or leadership openly receiving feedback. Janie Ganga is a yoga teacher I deeply admire and have worked closely with for nearly a decade. In May of this year, they reached out to tell me something I had posted on social media had upset and hurt them. (Here is the reel that started it all.) We've had several conversations about the situation since, and this episode is the culmination and public sharing of how we worked through that. Please listen, share it widely, and let us know how it lands with you. Janie Ganga (she/they) is an E-RYT 500 Yoga Teacher, social justice activist, and co-owner of Santosha Yoga, an online studio rooted in the Providence, RI community. Certified in I AM Yoga since 2013, Ganga specializes in Private Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and Let Your Yoga Dance, and is completing certification as a Yoga Therapist. Beyond the mat, Janie has organized queer community events for years – creating queer friendly femme-centered spaces in Boston with madFemmePride and co-leading the 2006 Transcending Boundaries Conference, which brought together activists for Transgender, Bisexual, Intersex, Polyamorous, and Kink Rights. As a Professional Member of ASDAH (Association for Size Diversity and Health), Janie is guided by Health at Every Size and is passionate about making yoga accessible to all bodies and identities.

Anne Lamott's son "called on" his mom after a transphobic tweet - Janie stumbled on this story after she questioned a colleague about sharing a Lamott's quote. Ganga discovered Lamott had publicly apologized, though the apology received little attention compared to the initial harm. Public Enemies, Private Friends - recommended by Janie's friend Marshall Miller, this documentary highlights dialogue between pro-choice and pro-life leaders in 1990s Boston.

| 8/12/25 | ![]() 156: Why and How to Find Virtual Private Yoga Clients | I started teaching one private yoga client virtually in 2019 when she left Washington, DC for California. But other than her I had absolutely NO experience teaching online when everything changed on March 13th, 2020. I was slightly ahead of the curve in understanding that the pandemic would be a life alternating experience and that we wouldn't be teaching yoga in-person for many many months. I made really quick work of getting all my in-person private students on board to pivot to virtual private lessons and by Monday March 16th I had everyone set up for the virtual lessons in their normal standing scheduled spot. I did not miss a single day of work, or single private lesson in that transition and that is something I am really proud of. Then, at the beginning of 2022 I moved to a new area and had a baby. I kept all my clients virtual through that transition and 95% of my teaching is still virtual. And I LOVE it. Today on the podcast I'm making the case for virtual private lessons! I'll tell you: why AND how to find virtual private clients why they are great for your students how they can help support your business who they are a good fit for (both student and teacher) how to get started in offering virtual private lessons Resources mentioned in the episode: 3 Steps to Teach Better Private Lessons Video Series two effective strategies for booking private clients TEMPLATES The Science of the Private Lesson online course Discounted mentoring sessions Camera set up This episode is brought to you by OfferingTree, an easy-to-use, all-in-one online platform for yoga teachers that provides a personal website, booking, payment, blogging, and many other great features.

| 8/5/25 | ![]() 155: Unexpected Private Client Hot Takes | I've been teaching yoga full time for 20 years, and most of that time I taught at least 15 private yoga sessions each week; for a decade that number was closer to 25 per week! I have a lot of experience in teaching private sessions! And when you've been doing something that often for that long, you start to develop some specific opinions... or, I certainly did! Today we are diving into some unexpected hot takes about teaching private clients!

| 7/29/25 | ![]() 154: How I Make Posting On Social Easier | Social media can be a wonderful tool to help us connect with friends, communities or potential students. It can also be a black hole of despair and panic. Some people say it is necessary to participate and post on social media to be a successful business nowadays. I don't think engaging on social media is a requirement for having a thriving yoga teaching business at all, but if you use it right it can be a cheap way to market your services. It is also really easy to waste countless hours creating posts that go nowhere and do nothing for you. This is not what we want! I've been in a good routine with the way I am engaging with social media, and it's been working for my business without me having to spend hours on the apps. Today on the podcast I'm sharing the things I've been doing that make social media both easier for me, and actually useful! In this episode, you'll hear: why it only makes sense to post on social if it is easy how to know your outcome goal why you have to pivot to video and some easy ways to do that different suggestions for creation schedules my hot take on AI and how I'm using it in my business Resources and posts mentioned: Screen Zen App WorkPlay Branding (company that did my photoshoots last year) IG post I mentioned | — | ||||||
| 7/22/25 | ![]() 153: 12 Ways I Stay Engaged In The World, Protect My Nervous System And Uplevel My Teaching | My understanding of the spiritual teachings is that my liberation doesn't mean anything unless everyone else is free too. The teachings of Buddhism say over and over again that a huge part of our practice is about creating a world where the safety and freedom and happiness of all sentient beings is possible. So from that I take that being engaged in working for a better world is a necessary part of my spiritual practice. This is a really dark timeline. The things the American government is doing are truly horrific. I want to stay out of the spiral of despair and overwhelm so that I can be engaged, focused, supportive and actually helpful. Today we are taking a deep dive into the 12 things I do regularly to stay engaged without overloading my system, find ways to be helpful and let it all be part of my practice and teaching. Let's dive in. In today's episode you'll hear: 4 suggestions for staying informed without mainlining the news, because no one's nervous system is built for that a soap box speech about social media and how I recommend you engage with it the things I am doing to try and make both my small world and our wider community places better for everyone 4 things I do every day to keep my nervous system regulated Resources Washington Post The Seven Briefing New Not Noise, Jessica Yellin's Substack Crooked Media Pod Save America Pod Save The World Screen Zen App 5 Calls App Journey Into The Bhagavad Gita Book Singing bowl sound bath playlist | — | ||||||
| 7/15/25 | ![]() 152: Advice For New Teachers PART TWO (The Business Stuff) | In episode 148 I collected all my best advice for new teachers. The episode centered around the idea that the most important thing new teachers can do is start teaching and figure out what kind of teacher they want to be. But once you've started that process, there are some important business foundations you want to have in place so you have solid ground upon which to build. This episode (152) is a deep dive into those business fundamentals, including lots of recommendations for specific software. If you are a new teacher, or an experienced teacher without an online presence, this episode is a must-listen! In this episode, you'll hear: why you don't need to worry about social right now why you do need liability insurance, but not necessarily an LLC my recommendations for online booking for 1x1 sessions the software options to have students register for group classes where to host your email list, and why you need one options for website builders Resources Mentioned Liability Insurance: https://www.phly.com/productsfw/FWI_YogaIndiv.aspx https://yoga.alliant.com/ https://beyogi.com/ https://alternativebalance.com/ How to book private lessons: Youcanbookme Calendly Acuity OfferingTree A place for people to register for group classes Momence Union Fit Degree Mindbody OfferingTree Email list options: Flodesk Mailchimp Convertkit OfferingTree Website Options: Squarespace Wix Wordpress OfferingTree | — | ||||||
| 7/8/25 | ![]() 151: What To Look For In A Retreat (And What To Expect At Mine) | How do we pour into ourselves so we have enough energy, time and focus for all the people who need us? How do we stay connected to our practice, since it should be the foundation our whole teaching life is built on? How do we stay inspired in our teaching without investing thousands of dollars in continuing education each year? It is not easy! But creating time for our own practice and study is essential. Today on the podcast I am going to share a story from a retreat I was on in Thailand. I was two weeks into a three-week trip when I realized I was as busy and exhausted as I was at home. The truth hit me like a ton of bricks, and that moment was the beginning of a lot of change for me.

| 7/1/25 | ![]() 150: Daily, Weekly + Monthly Routines That Make Me The Teacher I Want To Be | Being a yoga teacher, heck being a PERSON, is TOUGH right now. But having a job that requires presence and vulnerability and groundedness all the time requires we pour into ourselves so we have something to give. I LOVE hearing the behind the scenes details of people's lives and routines. And I'm so happy to say that after a pretty stressful few years, I have my self care routines DIALED IN right now! In today's episode of the podcast I am sharing the daily, weekly + monthly routines that make me the teacher I want to be. It might sound kind of silly, but I treat being a fulltime yoga teacher and parent as a high performance job and it is WORKING for me!
