Is it just us or has it been an intense year already? We're here to help -- or at least we've got some ideas. On this episode: Jason shares a social media post calling for a bubble of sensible, critical thinkers amid growing societal tumult. We dive into the benefits of yoga in fostering non-reactivity and stress the importance of cultivating joy and creativity in trying times. Plus, we talk about volunteering, cultural influences in yoga, and what we've been reading and watching, including a debate on the TV show, 'The Jackal.'

On our third episode of Yoga-ish, we share both joyful and not-so-joyful stories of past Christmases and we offer ideas for navigating the holidays if you are just NOT FEELING it this year. We all have those years -- some more than others -- but it is truly part of being human. What if you treated yourself with compassion and endeavored to find your own pockets of joy, however/whatever they may be?

This episode is a heartfelt celebration of part-time yoga teachers!

Too often, we hear part-time teachers being self-deprecating and implying that they don't feel like "real" yoga teachers.

So, we put out a call on social media for part-time yoga teachers to share your stories -- we asked you why you teach part-time, what keeps you going, and what the challenges are. We culled through the responses and share the highlights in this episode. The stories are inspiring and converge on a simple, yet powerful, truth: Part-time teachers make an invaluable contribution to the yoga community.
