When do you think the yoga poses were invented? While there were about 12 poses that were defined in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika over 3,000 years ago, the majority of the shapes that we do in our Western yoga classes weren't invented until the early 1900s. In today's conversation, I'm talking about the history of our yoga poses and what to do with that information. While the podcast is inspired by my experiences in the yoga world, it is useful for talking about any tool that you use to find more happiness, health, and joy in your life.

I don't know about you, but my hips could use some love. Whether it's from sitting too much throughout the day, your latest run or spin workout, or you're just naturally a little tighter in that area, let's do a 40 minute yoga sequence to specifically stretch out the hips. 

In today’s 12-minute guided meditation, we’re focusing on letting thoughts and emotions rise and fall. You’ll experience old thoughts and experiences flowing out of your body, releasing stuck emotions and finding new space to be present in your everyday life. No meditation experience necessary! Just find a place to sit or stand where you’ll be uninterrupted for 12 minutes.

Hello friends and welcome back to another amazing conversation with our resident astrology expert, Kathleen Barry. This episode is a little different. While we talk a bit about the summer solstice and Cancer season that we are in, we quickly turned our conversation to other topics, most notably how to make peace with our shadow selves. We also talked about the Trauma Recovery Yoga teacher training that Kathleen just completed down in New Orleans. This is an important and full conversation. Enjoy! 

Halfway there! In today’s episode, I’m talking about lessons I’ve learned through my conversations with clients as well as experiencing my own pregnancy. We’re going to talk about: Creating connection with your baby How to involve your partner with your pregnancy The wonderful Spinning Babies technique - standing release How to feel good about what you’re eating (even if it feels super unhealthy compared to your usual diet) Why more exercise might not make you feel more tired If you're pregnancy or know anyone else that is, please come on out to my workshop at Take Care Shop on June 27th! We're talking about preparing mind and body for labor. Register here.

You can always win the game. The game of your relationships, your work, your energy, your life. You are in charge of you. And thus you can choose the rules. That means you always have the possibility of winning. Today we're talking about how changes in the weather and our life situation can impact us physically and emotionally. But just because they impact us doesn't mean that we're at their mercy. It's time to pay attention to the game you're playing and take action to bring body and mind into balance. You're also going to hear about how Ayurveda talks about this exact issue and teaches us how to balance body and mind. 

I love doing this podcast because it's an opportunity to talk to people with a completely different skillset and set of experiences. I so loved talking with Diana for this reason. She's a social media expert that has worked for larger corporations, non-profits, small businesses, and for herself. She uses these experiences to craft social media strategies for her clients. We had a wonderful conversation that ranged from the nitty-gritty of social media strategy to the over-arching role that social media can play in our lives. It was a beautiful conversation, and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did. Diana Morales is the founder of Lust Local Media - a full service Social Media Consulting Firm. Diana actually began her career in social media when she was working in  Corporate Recruiting at the Lucas Group. During this time, Diana was able to master Social Media Management, working under the wing of one of the top ranked recruiters in the country, Diana was able to establish a savvy social media strategy that would leap the firms visibility in the online world. From this desire to connect people socially Lust Local was born in November 2015, and has been managing media and strategy for the past two and half years.  Find Diana online: Lustlocaldc.com instagram.com/missdianamorales twitter.com/thelocalmaven

Life moves pretty fast. So take 25 minutes out of your day to slow down, breathe deep, and feel some peace. Today's yoga sequence is a gentle practice designed to help you find peace and ease. Enjoy! 

Hello friends!  We are BACK with another Moon Chat with the fabulous Kathleen Barry. Today we're talking about the new moon in Gemini and Mercury in Cancer, which leads to conversations about time, following your intuition, and your positive (or not so positive) self-talk. It's an amazing conversation with tons of information to help you feel your best.  Enjoy! 

Today's podcast comes out of a mix of yogic teachings, self-reflection, and conversation with clients. It's so common to feel pulled in multiple directions. First you're happy about this, then sad about that. An issue at work turns into problems at home, or anger at something you did turns into frustration with others. We can tell when we're not acting from integrity and when we're not proud of our actions, but how do we handle those feelings? Today we're using a visualization that I come back to again and again. Being the eye of the storm means you're tapping into the quiet calm center that exists inside. It means you can act from a place of peace, even if the world doesn't feel very peaceful. Let's tap into the endless power.  Listen in! 

Today let's tap into the steady energy of the body by doing a chakra-balancing yoga sequence. This practice is designed to help you steady your energy throughout the body. It's a 30-minute practice. Enjoy! 

Today's guided meditation will walk you through the 7 energy centers known as the chakras. It's the perfect reset button if you want to rebalance your energy, and it's a powerful framework to understand emotions and energies that arise in your life.  If you do enjoy this meditation, consider getting the chakra meditation program from my website - it has 8 guided meditations to lead you through each chakra, plus a workbook to show you other ways to balance each chakra in your life.

Hello friends! I'm back from a wonderful weekend hosting an Ayurveda and Yoga Retreat at Lake Anna. WOW did it feel good.  I was actually surprised at HOW good I felt upon my return to Arlington, so I wanted to share some thoughts on why that was, plus how we can all find opportunities to reset and renew in our days.  This is a great podcast to listen to if you've been feeling stale in your habits or like your days feel full, but not always meaningful. Give it a listen! 

Today's interview is an absolute delight. Gretchen Schutte is an amazing yoga instructor who specializes in teaching yin, restorative, and yoga nidra. In this podcast, we dive in to her path from a Power Vinyasa yoga training to a full-time teaching career that focuses primarily on these modalities. We talk about the benefits of yin, and take a deep dive into yoga nidra - what it is, how to do it, and why it's so powerful. Beyond that - Gretchen is an amazing teacher and has a beautiful way with words. It's a delight just to listen to her, and there are tons of gems in this episode to help you live a more mindful, embodied life. Gretchen Schutte is the founder of Tulaprana Yoga and host of the Peace in the Pause Podcast. She hosts Monthly Yoga & Tea Meditations at Elden Street Tea Shop in Herndon, and has a Monthly Guided Meditation Membership on her website.

Welcome to another installment of Moon Chat, where astrology expert Kathleen Barry and I talk about what's happening in the stars and how that's impacting us down here on Earth. Today we're talking about about that growing Spring energy, how that relates to the waxing moon, and daily rituals to keep you happy, sane, and connected. 

You might have heard when I announced it last week - I'm pregnant! It's a very exciting time, and I wanted to share some of the things I've been learning and thinking about in the period between my miscarriage last November, attempting to get pregnant again, and these first 13 weeks of pregnancy.  As always - everyone's experience is incredibly different! I had some difficult times mentally and emotionally in between my two pregnancies, and it's felt like my pregnancy has been one lesson after another every day. If you're thinking about getting pregnant, already are pregnant, or know someone that's pregnant, this is a great episode to listen to to understand what might be happening mentally and physically.  I'd love to hear your feedback on this episode - your experiences and lessons from your first trimester or your fertility journey. Thanks for all of your support and well wishes! 

Chris Parkison is the Group Program Manager at VIDA Fitness (Yards), Director of the Yoga Alliance RYS-200 school at VIDA Fitness, and host of the DC yoga Podcast.

We all want to feel a little more peaceful right? Well, the Yoga Sutras by Patanjali have a formula to help us find this ease and calm in our lives. Here's what Patanjali offers: "In relationships, the mind becomes purified by cultivating feelings of friendliness towards those who are happy, compassion for those who are suffering, goodwill towards those who are virtuous, and indifference or neutrality towards those we perceive as wicked or evil." Today we're breaking down those four different situations - why they're not so easy to do, and how we can find a more virtuous response.

Hello friends! We're back with another Moon Chat with the amazing Kathleen Barry. In today's episode, we're talking about the shifts into Taurus season (and what Uranus' transit into Taurus means for future generations). Plus, we take a deep dive in acceptance, trust, and weathering all of the seasons of your life, whether it's an off day, an off month, or an off year. 

Hello friends! Time for another episode of Happy Healthy Human Radio. I so enjoyed recording this podcast. Today we're talking about how the book "Pride & Prejudice" by Jane Austen got me thinking about the Yoga Sutras, which in turn led me to a thesis on whether we should punish our senses (sight, sound, touch, taste, smell) for all the stress and messes we humans make or if it's actually the fault of our ego/atman and inherent biases. Listen in for a fun riff on how to be a happier human in the world, without giving up the pleasure of the world around you. 

Today's yoga practice is a joyful, brief 20-minute practice designed to help you turn on the muscles of the upper back. If you get a tense, tight spine or sore shoulders, this is the practice for you!  Enjoy! 

WOW - what a great conversation with Amanda Greenwell, the founder of GreenwellNYC. Amanda works at an investment bank and is a yoga teacher who right out of yoga school realized that the yoga and wellness world in NYC was a more competitive and difficult landscape than she thought it would be. In this conversation, we talk about those early days teaching and how it led her to create her business, GreenwellNYC. We also talk about Amanda's self-care habits, particularly her use of malas and mantras for her daily meditation. If you've been interested in bringing new techniques to your meditation practice or are unfamiliar with malas and mantras, this is a great episode to listen to.  I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it. 

Today we are back for another moon chat with the fabulous <a href="http://instagram.com/kbb323" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Kathleen Barry</a>. We're knee-deep in Aries season, so we're talking about action and inaction, as well as making peace with some of the more reckless and high energy aspects of Aries. We're also talking about the latest Black Hole sighting and how it impacts our personal world, PLUS we take a nice detour into self-love vs self-care, simplifying your routines, and the struggle of decision making.  It's a wide-ranging and delightful conversation. Enjoy! 

Today, a sweet vinyasa yoga practice to remember your basic goodness. It's a beginner-intermediate level class with a lot of great hip work.

Hello hello! Today's podcast is a big one. My trip to Tokyo plus an apartment move created a HUGE disruption in my routines the last few weeks. I was feeling pretty angry at myself for not sticking with my meditation and movement routines, and it made me think of a favorite quote from a book by  He says - "there's no embarrassment in being human." This got me thinking....am I embarrassed to be human?  Today's podcast is an investigation into embarrassment at being human, basic goodness, and overcoming deep fears.  Links: "Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior."  by Chogyam Tronpa Rinpoche "Daring Greatly" by Brene Brown Relax into your Human-ness Playlist May Yoga Retreat!

Today on the podcast we have Kathleen Barry back to talk about Mercury Retrograde! I know - it's everyone's favorite astrological phenomenon (or at least the one we hear about the most), but in this podcast, we're going to do a deep dive in Mercury Retrograde to understand how it can be a catalyst for self-discovery, boundaries, and rebalancing in our crazy, tech-obsessed world.

I am SO grateful for this conversation with Interior Decorator Nicole Lanteri. Nicole is an amazing creative and business woman. She started her interior design business 10 years ago when she realized that being a lawyer wasn't using her gifts and energy to the best of her ability. I'm so glad that she made that change, because she now brings a wealth of kindness, empathy, and a brilliant design eye to her client's homes. I often think that Nicole has so many clients because you just want to hang out with her, and after this conversation, I know that many of you will want to hang out with her too.  In this conversation, we talked about: The difference between an interior designer and decorator. The fabulous advice Nicole received on making big changes in your life. How Nicole feels about work/life balance and using your gifts. What to know if you're interested in a career of interior decorating. A key to great listening. You can find more about Nicole at NicoleLanteri.com and on Instagram at @NicoleLanteriDesign.

It's time for another amazing moonchat with our resident astrology expert, Kathleen Barry.  In today's episode, we're talking about the full moon in Virgo, getting your inner life in order, and embracing the light and the dark. You'll learn about how linear thinking and overthinking can get us into trouble, why seasonal affectedness disorder is *definitely* a real thing, plus learn a little biology along the way!  One of my favorite parts of the conversation is about how we're never *quite* at perfection. We are always learning, retooling, and reshaping. This doesn't mean we suck - it means we're human! And this waxing and waning of the moon reminds us that we can tread the same territory again and again, yet still be learning something new.  Mentioned in this episode: "The Artist's Journey" by Steven Pressfield One Strange Rock (also available to watch on Netflix) Playlist about leaning into discomfort, instead of amassing pain Kathleen's Instagram Upcoming Events: Saturday Yoga Classes in Arlington!  Demystifying the Menstrual Cycle at Apothekary - save the date March 6th!

Throughout biology and even in our own biochemistry, the world is held together by stable equilibrium: when something gets out of balance, compensation mechanisms come into play, bringing us back to balance. Unfortunately, we often find it harder to believe in that stable equilibrium within ourselves. We fear feeling emotions fully, or get overly controlling in our own lives. In this podcast, we'll talk about having the courage to trust that we are in stable equilibrium, PLUS share a short guided meditation to help us embody that truth. Mentioned on this podcast: -Yoga classes starting soon in Ballston! -Work with me! As always, if you do enjoy this podcast, please do share it with a friend who would also appreciate it. Thank you!

The holidays tend to go one of two ways: 1. Working super hard to finish work deadlines, organize parties and holidays, shopping lists, and activities. 2. Living fun and free, with plentiful holiday parties, cocktails, and sugar comas. Both of these situations relate to an imbalance in the second chakra. So this holiday season, let's look at how you can find balance. The benefit of balancing this second chakra energy? You'll finish the holiday season with good energy, no guilt, and some joy.

Svadhistana! Let's talk about the second chakra. The second chakra is just *fun*. It's about joy, sensuality, and creativity. When we connect with the 2nd chakra, we connect with our creative potential and power. Ruled by the element of water, the 2nd chakra allows us to get into the flow and find joy in life. We move from the stability and material goods of the 1st chakra to the emotions and creativity of the 2nd chakra. Too little 2nd chakra energy? You survive, not thrive. Too much 2nd chakra energy? You might deal with issues like addiction or inability to plan ahead. Learn how to balance the 2nd chakra in this episode using affirmation, meditation, breath, and movement.

Today's yoga practice is about cooling our bodies from pitta season and finding some fluidity in our bodies. One of the things I love about yoga is the sense of grace that it gives as you move smoothly with your breath and body.

How many interactions with others do we have every day? Whether with acquaintances or our longest friends, conflicts happen. It's inevitable when we all have our own motives, schedules, needs, and impressions about what's happening in front of us. But I recently got to think about even when we feel most "innocent", we are co-creators of our situation. That means it's time to look at our own attitudes and actions to reduce the conflict in our lives. In today's episode: -Why we co-create the conflict (or the joy) that happens in our life. -Questions to ask yourself if you're trying to reduce conflict. -The different ways you can speak up, regain your autonomy and stay authentic to who you really are.

Even though we all brush our teeth and floss, tongue scraping is a *quick* important addition to our oral hygiene routines.

In today's episode: -Why scraping your tongue is so important. -What type of tongue scraper to use. -How to scrape your tongue. -How to use tongue diagnosis to tell what your doshic imbalances are.

Ok, ok, ok, there's a bit of an extended metaphor in this podcast, but stick with me. We're talking all about why babies are the way that they are in the first few months of life. They don't sleep through the night, sometimes they eat for 4 hours in a row, and you can never predict when they're going to sleep. It's not their fault! The transition from life in the womb to life outside is tough.

I've been feeling like a broken record in my yoga classes this last few weeks - "open your heart" and "soften your heart" have been the theme of multiple classes. But I think it's for good reason. We have become very good at building barriers around our hearts - good at creating separation between "us" and "them". In this practice, we'll relax the muscles and connective tissue around the heart and shoulders to that we can access the deep sense of peace within.   If you like this podcast, please leave a review on iTunes or share it with a friend.

Happy Monday, everyone! Today I'm talking about success, and specifically what we define as successful. Typically, we're taught to focus on external metrics - passing a test, getting a promotion, or someone telling us we're awesome. Unfortunately, we can't control those factors. We don't have complete control over outcomes and how people respond to us. And so when we "fail", we feel bad about ourselves.

It is so easy to get caught up in the external - all of the things that we can see and direct with our own eyes. But stress is a two-way street.

Have you ever heard that quote that "you're the average of the five people you spend your time with?" I truly believe in this adage, but in our current age of media and social media, I think we have to alter the message to be aware of our media consumption as well. Our bodies can't tell the difference between imagination and reality, so if we invite stressful or troublesome images to our head through our media consumption, it will affect our body just as negatively as having that person in our life!

This past weekend, I spoke on a panel at Spark Yoga (www.SparkYoga.com) about finding balance. One woman asked a question regarding diet, and I wanted to answer it here, because it's a question that comes up often. She asked what to do when she knew there were all of these changes that she could make, but was overwhelmed at choosing how to begin. She had the sense that something needed to change, but didn't know what to do. Without knowing her exact situation, preferences, health history, and goals, I couldn't give her an exact prescription. But I could tell her what I do know to be true: the diet change has to start small and it has to feel doable.
