A series of conversations of my two loves, Yin Yoga and Chinese Medicine. Combining both interviews with interesting people from both worlds and shorter insights from my own experiences as a Doctor of Chinese Medicine and Yin Yoga teacher and educator.
Chinese Medicine and Migraines with Dr MG Mccullough
Chronic migraines can be insufferable to live with. Western Medicine has their own views and interventions for Migraines, and Chinese Medicine has an entirely different way of understanding and treating them.
In today's episode I'm speaking with Dr Mg Mccullough on her own history of Migraines, her recovery, and her treatment approach for her own patients that experience Migraines.
We talk about the importance of building health resources through diet, how emotions and past traumas can affect the development of Migraines, and how a person can start to recover and rebuild themselves.
MG lives in the United States, and you can find out more about her work via her website:

What even is Trauma Informed Yoga?
This term is used very liberally in the yoga verse, but what does it actually mean to claim this title?
In today's bonus podcast episode, I get into this, and so much more, with the amazing Grace Tempany.
A powerful Irish presence in our yin yoga global community, Grace Tempany is a Senior Teacher with Yoga Alliance Professionals, a Trainer Pro and Mentor, specialised in yin, functional yoga, and trauma-informed somatic practices.
As a trainee psychotherapist, her lens is inherently person-centred. As a former secondary school teacher, the art of teaching has been her bedrock. Her teaching is built on the foundation of inclusion.
Since she started teaching yoga ten years ago, she has dedicated her practice, research and teaching to providing the most accessible space for everybody to practise being in their bodies, and learn to gain a deeper connection with themselves, their truth, their voice and their own unique and personal journey. She marries pedagogical expertise, lived and felt experience as knowledge, and the most up-to-date research from the yoga, education, and therapy worlds.
She created her own school of yoga because she believes in a deeper and more well-rounded yoga education. She knows that deep thinkers and old souls looking for retreats are yearning for more depth and integration opportunities. And she listened to to the soul whispers nudging her to create a home for many others out there who have yet to find theirs within the yoga community.
In 2023 ISFYT: The International School of Functional Yoga Teachers was born. In the making for at least the last 3 years, it will no doubt continue to evolve for many years to come.

Kendall Satie: the whole body is the pulse
🎙️In episode 12 of the Dr Karina Smith podcast, I am speaking to the wonderful Kendall Satie.
Kendall is a Melbourne based Osteopath with a passion for working closely with patients to get them back to doing the things they love to do.
With many years of experience as a Remedial Massage Therapist, heavily influencing her assessment and treatment style, she loves balancing the two modalities to provide a thorough and holistic treatment.
In this episode we have a great conversation about how Kendall feels for healthy tissue, through palpation and assessment.
We discuss ideas around "the melt" in yin yoga, what inflamed and dehydrated tissue feels like, and how to take really good care when hydrating your body.
Kendall practices across two locations in Prahran and Albert Park...with exciting new things to come in Seddon!
Stay tuned for upcoming sessions at "The Body Folk" in Seddon very soon.
