Dharma Drops: Yoga, Life, Whatever

On Loving Your Body + Self with Jonni Garro

This week's mini-episode revisits the 2019 conversation (Episode 24) with Hala Khouri. Given the current circumstances surrounding social justice, these conversations are some of the most important I've had on Dharma Drops. Yet the episodes featuring BIPOC guests and conversations about social justice are the least downloaded in Dharma Drops history. These voices must be heard. And these conversations must be had. As such, today, we are kicking off a series of Dharma Drops throwbacks that feature BIPOC guests and social justice conversations.

The Subscript of Life: Yoga, Mantra, + Beyond with Johanna Beekman

Though there is often pressure for yogis to stay committed to a daily asana practice, most of us, at some point, discover we need a break. In other words, it's okay to fall out of your physical practice for a little bit. But just because you aren't on the mat doesn't mean you can't practice. In this mini-episode, we are exploring a few ways to stay committed to the practice without the physical demands of asana.

Yoga and Ayurveda teacher Irina Adriaensen is joining the Dharma Drops conversation all the way from Portugal in this special mini-drop episode!

What Yoga Can Teach Us About Activism

You are doing the best you can. Even that means if you aren't doing much or if you need to do less. In fact, sometimes, after intense experiences like the coronavirus pandemic, there is a calling to slow down and rest. The yoga teachings continually remind us that there is a balance between effort and ease. So, with that in mind, in today's mini-episode, Rebecca offers a reminder to let go of guilt and take the rest you need.

Developing Your hOMe Practice Part II with Bonus Audio Yoga Class!

Dharma Drops is a little bit about yoga, a little bit about life, and a little bit about whatever. Dharma Drops was born out of resistance to the norms, standards, and dogmas that often permeate the current yoga culture. It is a conversational podcast that explores topics both related and unrelated to yoga. At the heart of the podcast, we honor the teachings and lineage of yoga. But we also recognize that there is no singular way to be a yogi and that there is more to life than just yoga alone. I should also add that it has an explicit content rating because sometimes I'm a little bit of a potty mouth. And, remember, these are musings not Truths.
