Looping in Yoga Sequencing, Hyper-Mobility, & SkinnyTok w/ Olive Walton

Have you ever heard of looping in yoga sequencing? Today’s guest, Olive Walton, does a deep dive on looping: a teaching style that combines repetition, autonomy, mobility, strength, and freedom inside the yoga room. But this conversation goes far beyond sequencing—we also explore hypermobility, body awareness, identity, beauty standards, nervous system regulation, and what it means to move through the world as a yoga teacher right now. In this episode, we chat about: ✨ The “looping” method and why repetition helps students enter flow state 🌀 Why some students freeze the second they step on a mat alone at home ⚖️ The balance between guidance and freedom in yoga teaching 🧠 The subtle cues that help hypermobile students stop “dumping” into joints 😬 The uncomfortable reality of skinnytok, wellness culture & online fitness spaces 👀 The teaching cultures Olive noticed immediately after moving countries 🎭 Pole dancing, performance anxiety & learning to move without worrying who’s watching 💭 The difference between moving for punishment… versus moving for joy If you’ve ever questioned the way yoga is traditionally taught—or wondered how to create classes that feel more embodied, exploratory, and human—this episode is for you.

Karma, Forgiveness, & the Four Great Passions w/ Dr. Lynn

What if the hardest part isn’t what happened… but what you’re still carrying from it?  Today’s guest, Dr. Lynne, helps reframe karma beyond the cliches on mugs & t-shirts like “what goes around comes around” or “karma’s a bitch.”  We chat about:  😳 Karma redefined – what it really is as a philosophy 🍫 How a candy bar reveals how you relate to yourself, craving and control.  👀 Why some interactions stay with you longer than they should.  💥 The key to forgiveness that doesn’t ask you to be fake, passive, or pretend everything is fine.  😬 The four great passions that quietly run the show for most of us—and once you hear them, you’ll start noticing them everywhere.  💛 The depth of the thought “Your health is your greatest wealth”  If this episode makes you pause and ask, “Wait—what am I still carrying?”  send it to someone who could use the reminder too.

In this episode, I’m sharing the most mortifying moment of my teaching career and other yoga teaching horror stories— and how it turned into one of the most human, connecting experiences I’ve had in the room.

Ashtanga Remix; Asmita, Identity, & the I-Am-Ness w/ MaKenzie Fly

Have you ever heard this phrase? "Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny" It's laregly attributed to the Buddha, and it reveals a truth of reality. Everything can be traced back to thought. This Ashtanga remix class has themes of asmita (ego), identity, and sense of self, which is where thoughts comes from. Once that upgrades, everything else does too! You can expect sun salutations, standing, balancing, seated, and closing postures from the ashtanga tradition, but with slight variations and not as many jump throughs and jump backs.  Enjoy!
