You are probably not pandiculating enough. What is pandiculation? Imagine a cat or dog when they get up after a long nap: They stretch out, tails up, claws out.

325 | The Importance of Strength Training

December 07, 2020 10:00 - 11 minutes - 10.2 MB

Strength training is so important, but it doesn’t always mean what people think it means. It’s not strictly about going to the gym and lifting weights—strength training is purely about putting some power into your muscles. We all lose muscles as we age, but especially women.

November 30, 2020 10:00 - 12 minutes - 11.2 MB

Last week, America celebrated Thanksgiving, a holiday full of many different meanings and traditions. But one thing that remains consistent is its call for us to give thanks in a purposeful way.

307 | The Benefits of a Good Cry

October 26, 2020 10:00 - 13 minutes - 12 MB

“There is a sacredness in tears. They are not a mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.” —Washington Irving Sometimes, all we need in order to release is a good cry. We’ve been conditioned to believe that showing emotion through tears is weak and off putting to people, and some people have become so good at stuffing that down that they’ve conditioned th...

Ryan Orrico is a former yoga teacher and he has a lot to say about his experience. He’s fascinating, entertaining, and a slightly polarizing figure in the yoga world.
