Breath: The Universal Language That Connects Us All w/ Jessica Dibb

What if the one thing that has the power to unite humanity... is something you're already doing 20,000 times a day? Today's guest, Jessica Dibb, is a breathwork pioneer, author, and educator who believes breathing isn't just a biological function—it's the universal language that connects every living being. We explore the science, psychology, spirituality, and ethics of breathwork, and why conscious breathing may be one of the most profound practices available to us as yoga teachers and human beings. In this episode, we chat about: 🌬️ Why Jessica calls breath the great equalizer—not death ❤️ The surprising connection between breathing and love 🧠 What's actually happening in your brain and nervous system every time you inhale and exhale 🌍 The powerful reason she believes breath can dissolve the "us vs. them" mindset ✨ The five categories of breathwork—and why they're often confused with one another ⚖️ Why one breathing technique isn't right for every student 🧘 Why conscious breathing may have been yoga's original practice long before the poses 👀 The ethical questions every yoga teacher should ask before facilitating powerful breathwork experiences 💪 The overlooked muscle that has an enormous impact on your longevity, emotional regulation, and quality of breath 🎯 Why the "perfect" breathing ratio doesn't actually exist—and what to look for instead Whether you're simply cueing ujjayi in class or fascinated by the deeper science and philosophy of breath, this conversation will forever change the way you think about the most fundamental thing we all share.

Creative vs. Intentional Sequencing (And How Foreshadowing Fixes It) w/ Charlotte Muller

Have you ever perused your IG feed for a creative sequence, taught it to your students, and then immediately regretted it? You and me both!  Today's guest, Charlotte Muller, joins me to talk about intentional sequencing. We dive into her concept of foreshadowing—the art of introducing ideas, movements, and transitions early so students feel prepared, confident, and connected throughout the entire class experience. In this episode, we chat about: ✨ Why students can feel when a class was thoughtfully planned 🌀 The sequencing technique Charlotte uses in every single class she teaches 💡 How a tiny preview early in class can create major "aha!" moments later 🎯 Why intentional sequencing creates trust between teacher and student 🧘 How philosophy, theming, and sequencing can work together instead of competing for attention 🤰 How pregnancy completely changed Charlotte's relationship with movement, cueing, and teaching   Whether you're a newer teacher trying to plan better classes or a seasoned teacher looking to refine your craft, this conversation will help you think differently about how classes are built—and why the smallest moments often create the biggest impact.

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!
