I think we often view “strength” as this intangible thing, out of grasp for many of us to ever reach it. But what if it was way more simple than that? What if strength was just letting yourself be seen, simply existing? Lianne Saffer knows a thing or two about being strong. She knows what it’s like to be many things all at once, how to give energy the space it needs to live and grow, how to knock down walls, and to wait and just sit with it. Learning to “just be” isn’t easy. Let’s figure it out together.Connect with Lianne: Instagram, Website, Buy her book!Buy Bonnie a cup of tea at @Bonnie-WeeksSign up for Bonnie’s sexy Sunday poetry prompts HEREConnect with Bonnie: Instagram, Email (hello@bonnieweeks.com), WebsiteThe music for this episode is Threads by The Light Meeting.

147 - Redefining Strength with Lianne Saffer

Had a wonderful, vulnerable conversation with Jane McCann—a magnetic, exuberant, honest soul. We talked about going grey (on your head… and beyond), the joy found in aging, understanding the femininity that exists outside of us, lessons in parenthood, and the exploration of what it means to be alive in our own bodies as they change… And change they do. Life, just like our yoga practices, is all about finding flow.Connect with Jane: Instagram, Fitted By JaneBuy Bonnie a cup of tea at @Bonnie-WeeksSign up for Bonnie’s sexy Sunday poetry prompts HEREConnect with Bonnie: Instagram, Email (hello@bonnieweeks.com), WebsiteThe music for this episode is Threads by The Light Meeting.

146 - Finding Your Life's Flow with Jane McCann

It’s been a bit since we’ve had a guest here on the podcast, and I’m so glad Emily Mariola could be here with us today. We talked a lot about yoga as a business, and what it looks like not only to be a yoga teacher, but to be a student in the art of paying attention.200 hours is only the beginning, we can always be learning and getting better as teachers, and it’s never been more possible.Connect with Emily: Instagram, Flex Yoga, WebsiteBuy Bonnie a cup of tea at @Bonnie-WeeksSign up for Bonnie’s sexy Sunday poetry prompts HEREConnect with Bonnie: Instagram, Email (hello@bonnieweeks.com), WebsiteThe music for this episode is Threads by The Light Meeting.

145 - We Can All Be Better Teachers With Emily Mariola

I wanted to share with you something I use—and hopefully you can too—when I’m nervous or unsure about showing up and doing the thing. If you’re wondering how to center yourself and move forward with a solid “Why,” this can help.Instead of focusing that nervous energy inwards towards yourself, you can flip it outwards and ask yourself what do your people need, and how best to help them.Buy Bonnie a cup of tea at @Bonnie-WeeksSign up for Bonnie’s sexy Sunday poetry prompts HEREConnect with Bonnie: Instagram, Email (hello@bonnieweeks.com), WebsiteThe music for this episode is Threads by The Light Meeting.

144 - Showing Up and Serving Your People

Look at the places in your life where work and play overlap. Know that everything eventually changes, and that means we don’t have to fear. We can lean in to change. There is no need to fear the work it takes to move—both physically and otherwise. I have big goals, I know you do too. Do not be afraid of the work, my friend.Buy Bonnie a cup of tea at @Bonnie-WeeksSign up for Bonnie’s sexy Sunday poetry prompts HEREConnect with Bonnie: Instagram, Email (hello@bonnieweeks.com), WebsiteThe music for this episode is Threads by The Light Meeting.

143 - The Intersection of Work and Play

Let’s talk shop, shall we? Should we repeat teaching a flow, and if so, how often? I have personally fallen into the trap of feeling like if I repeat a flow, students will be bored and I won’t provide any use to them. But there is value in repetition, in showing up the same way over and over again, and in paying attention.So, if yoga is the practice of paying attention… what would repetition allow your students to pay attention to?Join the Flow School WaitlistBuy Bonnie a cup of tea at @Bonnie-WeeksSign up for Bonnie’s sexy Sunday poetry prompts HEREConnect with Bonnie: Instagram, Email (hello@bonnieweeks.com), WebsiteThe music for this episode is Threads by The Light Meeting.

142 - Talking Shop: Repeating A Flow

These are the conversations that make me feel alive. Rocky Heron has been a guest before, and he will be here in the future. Rocky shows up very differently online than he used to—more authentically, more openly. Some people are confused, angry, maybe even threatened by it.It takes a lot of energy to wear a mask all the time, to hide all the different parts of yourself. You have to stop trying to manage others’ perception of you,  and to show up bravely as yourself. Give yourself permission to change your mind, to be many things… to be human. Connect with Rocky: IG @rockyheronListen to his music on spotify hereYoga Strong 038 - What is Yoga with Rocky HeronBuy Bonnie a cup of tea at @Bonnie-WeeksSign up for Bonnie’s sexy Sunday poetry prompts HEREConnect with Bonnie: Instagram, Email (hello@bonnieweeks.com), WebsiteThe music for this episode is Threads by The Light Meeting.

141 - Permission to Be A Human with Rocky Heron

We have come to the last episode of the year, and what better time to reflect. When I started this podcast, I had dreamed that this could be a space to have many different types of conversations, to learn and grow along side each other, and to discover yoga in everything we do. I’ve been thinking a lot about how we might be afraid to do the things we really want to do for fear of looking “dumb” or how others might perceive us. But I want to do the thing that feels magic anyways. To take a pause, and let beauty in—even if I might look silly. I hope we can all find the space to let beauty in.Buy Bonnie a cup of tea at @Bonnie-WeeksSign up for Bonnie’s sexy Sunday poetry prompts HEREConnect with Bonnie: Instagram, Email (hello@bonnieweeks.com), WebsiteThe music for this episode is Threads by The Light Meeting.
