Yoga Teachings That Have Endured — 10 Years and 8 Million Downloads Later

Wow wow wow -- it's been 10 years since the launch of Yogaland! It feels like it's been a heartbeat and also a lifetime. There's been so much learning, growth, and love while making these episodes for the past decade. I spent time compiling precious insights--gems if you will--that stood out to me from the past 10 years.

We revisit moments with:

Amy Ippoliti — free diving, environmental activism, and asking young people about purpose instead of popularity

James Woods (Dat Yoga Dude) — bringing yoga and social-emotional learning into schools and communities

Maty Ezraty — why even the most accomplished yoga teachers still get nervous before every class

Susanna Harwood Rubin — navigating metastatic cancer with devotion, sacred spaces, and grace

Judith Lasater — the concept of inner gold and what distinguishes a truly good teacher from an abusive one

Jill Miller — the five Ps of inducing the relaxation response and harnessing vagal tone

Andrea Jain — an unbiased take on academic history of yoga's globalization

Julia Lowrie Henderson — the psychology behind why Bikram's cruelty registered as trustworthiness

Sally Kempton — the mantra that changed her relationship to failure

Tias Little — perfectionism as a cul-de-sac

Tara Stiles — doing it your own way, softness, and building a yoga practice around ease

Daya Grant — what neuroscience tells us about the yoga practitioner's brain and interoceptive awareness

Lisa Walford — four pillars of health developed after an HIV diagnosis in 1985, decades ahead of her time
