All Mats Taken - A Podcast for Yoga Teachers

About All Mats Taken - A Podcast for Yoga Teachers

Your yoga teacher training handed you a certificate. It probably didn't hand you the confidence when teaching yoga. Somewhere between the anatomy module you watched once at 1 am and the philosophy lecture that got squeezed into a weekend, a gap opened up between being certified and actually knowing your stuff (and imposter syndrome crept in). All Mats Taken lives in that gap. Host Adrianne Jerrett, a yin yoga teacher, herbalism student and unapologetic learning-science nerd (slash nerd in general), goes deep on the material trainings rush through: anatomy that makes sense, philosophy taught with nuance and depth, the real history of yoga and the teaching craft that turns knowledge into confident classes. Expect well-researched solo deep dives, occasional interviews with genuine scholars and master teachers and a dash of business and marketing to tie it all together. From certified to confident yoga teacher. New episodes twice a month.

   54: 7 Yoga Anatomy Myths Busted | Stop Using These Yoga Cues

   Could you accidentally be harming or risking harm to your yoga students? If you're using any of these seven common yoga anatomy cues, you might be! I was as surprised as you might be by some of them because they're widespread and used across the yoga, dance and fitness industries but the science behind them doesn't add up for these anatomy cues to apply to everyone. In this episode, we'll cover 7 common yoga cues frequently used, figure out where they came from and why they became so highly used, decipher the actual science behind them to reveal why they're myths and shouldn't be used and what to do instead. The good news is that what you should do instead is usually easier and always safer so removing these 7 cues from your lingo will make teaching even easier!

   53: Yoga Nidra Is Not What You Think | Indu Arora on the Ancient State of Conscious Sleep

   Most people know Yoga Nidra as a relaxation tool that helps you fall asleep. But according to renowned yoga therapist and author Indu Arora, we've been missing the most important word in the practice... yoga. In this deeply illuminating conversation, Indu unpacks the true philosophy of Yoga Nidra, tracing it from ancient Vedic and Tantric texts all the way to the modern technique we practice today and we discuss why the difference matters more than you think. In this episode you'll learn: Why Yoga Nidra is a state of consciousness, not just a relaxation technique. And what the ancient texts actually say about it The real reason we fall asleep during Yoga Nidra (and what to do about it) How to prepare your body and nervous system before practice to stay present and aware Why reading a script is not the same as true transmission and how your personal practice changes everything The many pathways to Yoga Nidra beyond the Pancha Koshas, including through the three bodies, the five pranas, and more What "frequency following response" means and why the state you are in shapes the experience of every student in the room Why Indu believes we are "settling for fractions" of what Yoga Nidra can truly offer Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or a yoga teacher looking to deepen your transmission, this episode will completely shift the way you approach Yoga Nidra. About Indu Arora: Indu Arora is a Yoga and Ayurveda teacher, mentor, and author, based out of the USA. She considers herself a student for a lifetime. Indu has been sharing about Yoga philosophy, Yoga Therapy, and Ayurveda for the last two decades. Her unique gift is making Yoga and Ayurveda a practice, which is equally useful for a beginner as for a sincere seeker who has made Yoga a lifelong journey. She is inspired by and taught under Kriya Yoga, Himalayan Yoga, Kashmir Shiavism, and Sivananda Yoga lineages. She has studied in a traditional Guru-shishya parampara setting. Her teaching style is rooted in empowering and inspiring students to awaken the inner Guru. Her core philosophy is 'Yoga is a Work-in and not a Work-out'. She is the author of Mudra: The Sacred Secret (2015), Yoga: Ancient Heritage, Tomorrow's Vision (2005, 2019), and SOMA: 100 Heritage Recipes for Self-Care (e-book, 2020; updated hard copy, 2022).
