Episode 35: Intentions with Robin Wilner

I am so excited to welcome Anna Ritner to the podcast. I met Anna at a studio where she practiced acupuncture and I taught yoga years ago, and I was immediately drawn to her. She is an empathic old soul with an easy laugh who knows how to have a good time. She taught me that dancing in public (totally sober) can actually be fun sometimes and that rest is just as an important as movement. It was a pleasure to catch with her in this interview and I’m so excited for everyone to hear it! We talk about what acupuncture actually is and the science backed reasons it works, what she thinks most women need to balance their hormones (hint: it’s not bone broth or chia seeds) and her approach to working with clients. She shares how this year has brought her to her knees and how letting go has changed her life for the better. This podcast is a must listen if you’re a woman or have women in your life. So, yes, all of you!

It’s September and we are back-to-podcast! Lucky us, we are kicking off with an amazing guest, Rachel Rajput. Rachel owns Left Coast Power Yoga where she also teaches classes and teacher trainings. It was wonderful to chat about life these days and we covered many things, including-how people are practicing yoga post pandemic-how she led LCPY through the the the last few years-how she’s created community at LCPY-how she thinks about interviewing teachers -Her own self-care-building sequences with her fellow teachersThis would be a great listen for yoga instructors, small business owners and anyone interested in hearing more about the inner workings of a yoga studios.

I’ve lived many lifetimes of yoga and loved them all.

If a bunch of people get together, anything is possible.

In a capitalistic society, rest is a rebellion.
