Ashtanga Remix; Emotional Mastery w/ MaKenzie Fly

Try Inspired Flow Weekly for free! [https://inspiredflowmonthly.com/] This energizing Ashtanga Remix practice is heavily inspired by the second series of Ashtanga Yoga, featuring spine-strengthening postures, heart-opening backbends, and opportunities to build both strength and mobility throughout the body. The sequence was intentionally designed to complement this week's theme of emotional mastery. Backbends are known for being stimulating, invigorating, and sometimes even uncomfortable, making them the perfect laboratory for practicing steadiness in the midst of intensity. Rather than reacting to every sensation, you'll be invited to stay present, breathe deeply, and cultivate a sense of calm within the experience. By the end of class, you can expect to feel energized, uplifted, empowered, and more capable of maintaining your center when life turns up the volume. Enjoy!

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.

The Most Embarrassing Things That Happen in Yoga Classes (Let’s Normalize It)

Ever had an embarrassing moment in a yoga class and thought, “Please let no one notice…”? 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.

In this episode, we chat about: 😬 Why I almost said no to teaching a class out of pure embarrassment 👏 The unexpected protocol that turned an awkward moment into a shared experience 💬 The flood of responses from other teachers—and the stories that had me crying laughing 🔥 The leadership lesson hidden inside your most embarrassing moments 🌀 How your willingness to be human gives your students permission to be human too 💭 The reminder that bodies do weird, unpredictable, very real things—and that’s part of the practice This episode is sh*ts, gigs, and a little bit of wisdom. If you’ve ever felt embarrassed in a yoga class (as a teacher or a student), press play — you are definitely not alone. https://makenzieflyyoga.com/https://makenzieflyyoga.com/ SIMILAR EPISODES TO BINGE Sequencing with Sensitivity: Honoring Your Cycle & Season w/ Sydney McCowan [https://open.spotify.com/episode/6uwmSd0ED3ZCxJEqHLEcbr?si=c2096a5d65a14b72] Transmuting Trauma through Sacred Sensuality w/ Shayna Hiller [https://open.spotify.com/episode/3JcCa3RLVezPbmLIjYUowX?si=98769942334e4b9c] Please subscribe, rate, and review to help us continue to deliver free, valuable content each and every week.
