Today's episode is on how the human standing in front of you is the most important thing in that moment. I recorded this before quarantine and it's interesting how this all still rings true and maybe even more so now? Venmo: @vinyasachick Website: www.vinyasachick.com

Today's episode is a minisode with an exercise on bringing more gladness into your day! It's easy to recall our pains, our mishaps, our failures, and that type of thinking has kept us safe from future harm and injuries. SO in order to be more grateful, we have to practice the skill of remembering what brings us joy, love, peace, contentment, gladness, and gratitude. When we allow ourselves to experience those events, we are training our brains to seek those moments and bring more gladness into our lives!

We’ve all been there before, you HAVE to engage in an uncomfortable conversation. You’re sweaty and nervous. You’ve already seen how it’s going to end, so you’re just dreading it. Well what if there were some tools to help you navigate these tumultuous waters of difficult communication? On this episode I share some ways to help you keep your peace and stay human during those difficult conversations that we all have. We shouldn’t shy away from these exchanges, but rather the aim is to step in with an open heart and with peace and respect for ourselves and those we’re in communication with.

Joining us ALL the way from Australia, on this episode I interview Mary Agnes Duncan on the good, the bad, and the ugly of the wellness world! Mary Agnes has worked in the marketing and communications side of wellness through her experience at Rosewood Market, a local health food store here in Columbia, SC. Did you know that the wellness industry is $4.2 trillion market, according to Forbes! So what’s the big fuss? How are things being shared? What are THEY doing right? Where can THEY improve? And the biggest take-away, as the consumer where’s our power in this market and how can we make an impact? Website: www.vinyasachick.com Instagram: @vinyasachick Venmo: @vinyasachick

I am beyond thrilled to share this episode of the podcast today with Krista Hardie! In this episode I interview Krista on her experience in the yoga world and she shares her story of being a child of Jamaican immigrant parents. Krista is one of my students, teachers, and friends. We recorded this podcast right before a big shift/move for Krista and I am honored that she chose to spend her time recording with us!

Enjoy this five minute guided meditation on the breath! Take a break from what you're doing and get still for just five minutes. It only takes five minutes to shift your outlook and your attitude!

On this episode I interview Ian Bonnema, my podcast partner, about competition both on and off the mat. Part of our need to compete comes with our biological programming, but most of the times we have the choice. We're taking a dive deep into: Why do we feel the need to compete and what forces drive us to continue to compete? How do we deal with people trying to compete with us in classes? Is there competition on the business side of yoga (amongst yoga teachers, studios, businesses, and classes)? Website: www.vinyasachick.com Instagram: @vinyasachick Venmo: @vinyasachick

Take a few minutes to get grounded with me today! It's daunting to begin meditating, but taking the time to center yourself is a great way to start adding mindfulness to your routine! You can take the time of this recording to get still or sit for a little longer if you have time after the recording stops!
