Is Mormonism Christianity? 24:51

3d ago24:51

24:51

In the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination, Hank Hanegraaff would like to propose an all too relevant question: “Is Mormonism Christian?” Why? Because a prevalent narrative surrounding the assassination of Charlie Kirk in Orem Utah, is that Tyler Robinson, Kirk’s alleged assassin, grew up in a good conservative Christian family.

Ep 95: How to Talk About Pain in Class Without Creating Fear 14:03

13d ago14:03

14:03

One of the hardest things for yoga teachers is knowing what to say when students mention pain.

20d ago14:42

14:42

As yoga teachers, we often feel pressure to be endlessly creative in our sequencing, transitions, and class themes. But when a student walks into class with an injury or persistent pain, creativity isn’t what they need most. They need you to be confident about how you're going to teach them!

Ep 90: Yoga Rules That Don’t Hold Up 13:34

2M ago13:34

13:34

When you finished your 200-hour yoga teacher training, chances are you walked away not just with a certificate but with a list of “rules” about how to teach. Rules about sequencing, alignment, hands-on assists, and even how you’re supposed to show up as a teacher. At the time, those rules might have given you confidence and structure. But the truth…

Ep 89: Sequencing Struggles That Still Haunt Experienced Teachers 19:50

2M ago19:50

19:50

Sequencing is more than putting poses together; it’s actually a puzzle if you think about it. Inside that puzzle are nervous systems, mixed abilities, injuries, as well as the human need for meaning and understanding. If sequencing still feels like a challenge, it’s totally understandable that it would. In this episode, we’ll consider the hidden mi…

God’s View of Time: Kairos vs. Chronos with David Hanegraaff 26:24

3M ago26:24

26:24

God doesn’t see time the way we do. While we live according to hours, deadlines, and a focus fixed on the future (chronos), God operates in kairos—sacred moments filled with purpose and a pursuit of being fully present. We can sanctify chronological time by living with eternity in mind—sensing God’s presence in every moment. In this episode, David …

Ep 83: Mobility: How You Define It Matters! 13:40

3M ago13:40

13:40

You’ve probably heard people say that yoga improves both flexibility and mobility. While that may be true, what most yoga teachers don’t realize is that mobility has more than one definition.

4M ago16:22

16:22

Not all backbends are the same & that might sound obvious at first, but I can’t tell you how many classes I’ve been in, or even taught in my early years, where backbends were treated as one interchangeable category. Whether it was Cobra, Bow, Wheel, or Camel, I was taught to prepare the body in the same way, taught a sequence full of them, and assu…

Ep 73: Hip Openers and Labral Tears: Why Deep Stretches Aren’t for Everyone 15:37

6M ago15:37

15:37

Some students need to be extremely cautious when it comes to poses like Pigeon, Fire Log, and even Butterfly.

Ep 71: Injury Prevention in Yoga: What We Can (and Can’t) Control 24:28

6M ago24:28

24:28

Injury prevention in yoga is often oversimplified into absolutes. It's either "yoga heals everything" or "if you get hurt, you did it wrong." But the truth is far more nuanced. While we can and must take steps to minimize risks, true injury prevention has inherent limitations because movement is never fully predictable. Students come to class with …

Ep 70: How Alignment Cues Affect Your Nervous System 19:55

6M ago19:55

19:55

In the last two episodes, we've discussed keeping students safe in our classes by being more mindful of the alignment cues we use.

Ep 69: Why Alignment Cues Don’t work For Everyone - Part 2 19:49

7M ago19:49

19:49

We discussed safety in the last episode because I believe we all come from that standpoint. Thinking safety begs the question, “Is our understanding of 'correct alignment' safe for all students?” That took me down a deep rabbit hole and was an inspiration for these episodes on what we teach students about alignment. Ask yourself if, since your init…

Ep 68: The Problem w/ Rigid Alignment Cues - Part 1 17:37

Traditionally, alignment was taught as a set of fixed, universal principles—certain cues, angles, and posture requirements that were considered "correct" for all bodies.

1:45:45

How can Christians engage meaningfully with history? In an age underpinned by the idea that life is about self-invention and fulfilment, contemporary Western culture holds that the past has little to teach us.

Ep 66: Staying Within Your Scope of Practice While Teaching Injured Students 15:58

One of the biggest concerns you might have as a yoga teacher is whether or not you’re stepping outside of your scope of practice. We are not doctors & we cannot diagnose an injury, however, we can AND SHOULD learn about them because we are teaching movement to people who probably are currently injured, have a past injury, or might injure themselves…
