Yoga Off the Mat is a podcast about life and all of its blunders, bloopers, and blissfulness. Yoga is not a sequence of pretzel shapes on a mat, it is an intentional lifestyle, it is how we show up in the world. I am your host Theresa Macy, certified yoga therapist, yogini, licensed massage therapist and quite possibly certifiably nuts...about this crazy, beautiful world we all live in together. Join me on this journey of life through conversations and connections, chatting with all sorts of people, from everyday ones to bigger-than life ones. Where you’ll be inspired through nature, yoga practices, random musings, and all around real-life experiences. Our lifestyle is a reflection of what we practice on the mat
You’ll be Inspired to muse deeper. Calmed to your core allowing wonder and curiosity to enter. Invigorated to laugh at yourself, to really crack it up. Activated to empower and be empowered. Provoked to shed a tear or two because life is not always rainbows and sunny blue skies.
Welcome to a community of peace lovin’, nature huggin’, yogi-livin’ wacky humans. Welcome to the real-life world of yoga at Yoga Off the Mat.
A conversation with Sherry and Belle. Being human is absolutely marvelous. My first yoga teacher said "do this your whole life” so I have been practicing for 55 years. A steady practice throughout my week touches every part of me. Everyday I have a practice a seven minute head stand while watching jeopardy. My physical practice informs my spiritual practice and vice versa. I believe we get what we need in our lives when we need it.

Peace from Within
Peace From Within ~ Overcome Anxiety and Depression Though Yoga
With Anne-Laure Peaucelle
I was looking for stress relief, I was looking for physical activity. I can’t remember why I walked into my first yoga class, but I did. It was a really challenging hot power yoga classes. Honestly, I do not know why I went back because I really did not like it. But I just kept going because it made me feel better in both for my physical and mental health.

Resting in Shadow
Resting in Shadow
Sherry Sadoff Hanck
In the quiet darkness things arise
often distorted, like a shadow
Heartbeat soars, fear unleashed
the slightest sadness felt as sorrow
The dawn brings light to shine open
the demons in their nest
From this fresh view they’ve all but vanished
heart and mind are now at rest

I am Yoga-ish
Some wise person once told me that I was a Yogi. I laughed at her and shrugged it off.
But that statement really got me thinking more on what a Yogi really is in the day to day sense of the word. Could she have been correct? Was I a Yogi?
Yoga-ish
I joke that I practice Yoga-ish. I grudgingly pull out my mat once a week – if that. Maybe she thinks I might be a Yogi because I own an actual yoga mat. But seeing me practicing my Yoga-ish? I don’t know the proper poses. I fall over. I don’t know the breathing. I definitely don’t like practicing yoga in front of other people who really know yoga. I feel like I’m back in middle school just wanting to fit in, and I definitely do not fit in when it comes to practicing yoga. I, in fact, stand out like a sore thumb.
So, again – me a Yogi?! Ha! No way!
What does being a Yogi really mean?
But what if she meant I was a Yogi in another sense of the word? When I write about gaining wellness and balance, I’m not the poster child for those two words, but I do know that living a balanced life means being out of whack every now and again. I’m pretty good at being out of whack. Maybe my wise friend, meant that I was a Whacki, not a Yogi.
That’s when the lightbulb finally lit.
Being a Yogi doesn’t mean you practice on the mat every morning, meditating and breathing in perfect unison with the universe. It doesn’t mean that you are a vegan or a hippie, or a tree hugger, or a Buddhist. In the day to day struggles and joys, yoga means that you strive for wellness and balance (https://integratednaturalhealth.com/wellness-and-balance-a-plan-created-for-your-unique-lifestyle/) in your life.
For me that means mountain biking, hiking, maybe some Yoga-ish, running. Anything that gets me away from my computer for a moment…to breathe, to move, to recharge. Then, in the evening, when work is done, the day waning, I’ve earned my beverage of choice. I’ve earned the stillness around a campfire. I’ve created my wellness and balance for that moment in time. I’ve earned my Yogi badge.
