The Weight of Should: Yoga on Expectations

Savasana: The Rehearsal for Letting Go

It’s Halloween week, and we’re lying down with the most haunting pose in yoga — Savasana. This episode explores the art of stillness, the science of surrender, and why every ending is really a return.

Hardwired: Family, Reactivity, and the Yoga of Calm

You’ve done the meditations. You’ve practiced non-attachment. Then your family visits. In this episode, we explore how our bodies recall past experiences, why our hearts race despite our intentions to stay calm, and how yoga enables us to transition from defense to connection, regulating, softening, and reconnecting. Expect warmth, laughter, and a few honest moments — plus simple practices to return to center.

The Yoga of Thrifting

From magical thrift store finds in Hawaii to the very real reason we once traveled to Canada for a secondhand score—this episode is a love letter to thrifting, creativity, and living lightly. We share how thrifting is its own kind of yoga practice: a mix of curiosity, contentment, and non-grasping (plus a few accidental fashion statements). You’ll hear our funniest thrift stories, eco-friendly tips, and how wearing something with a past life can shift the way you move, feel, and connect. Whether you’re a seasoned thrifter or new to the hunt, this one’s all about finding joy in what already exists—and remembering that sometimes enlightenment really does show up on the clearance rack.

The Weight of Should: Yoga on Expectations

Expectations sneak into everything—our yoga practice, our relationships, even how we expect ourselves to be spiritual. They create invisible scripts for how life should unfold, and when reality doesn’t match, tension follows. In this episode, we explore what yoga philosophy says about expectations, how they shape us in both helpful and harmful ways, and how practice can soften their grip. With stories, humor, and simple practices, we invite you to shift from disappointment to discovery, from ‘should’ to presence.

The Kaleena Episode

This week, we turn the mic toward Kaleena—yoga teacher, stillness guide, anatomy nerd, and co-host of Bigger Than Love. From her first downward dog to how she fell in love with teaching, we dive into the stories, quirks, and practices that shaped her path. Expect equal parts laughter, honesty, and heart.
