Who Decided Yoga Takes an Hour?
<p class="isSelectedEnd">In this episode, I am joined by Firdose Moonda, journalist, yoga teacher & teacher trainer, for a conversation about something most of us never question: why a Yoga class is usually 60 minutes, where those time frames come from, and whether they are actually helping or limiting our practice.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">We talk about how studio schedules, teacher trainings, pricing structures & our own expectations have shaped the way we think about Yoga, and why the idea that a practice has to be 60 or 75 minutes long can sometimes stop us from practicing altogether. We also explore how flexibility, imperfection & consistency can make Yoga a much more useful tool in real life.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">Highlights include:</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">● Where the familiar 60 and 90-minute class formats come from, and how they became the norm.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">● How the business model of studios & unlimited memberships influences the way we practice.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">● Why waiting for the perfect uninterrupted hour can become a barrier to having a home practice.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">● How both of us started with 20 to 30-minute practices, and why neither of us practices for 60 minutes every day.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">● Why Yoga does not need a perfect room, perfect conditions or even an uninterrupted practice to be valuable.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">● Why consistency is not about doing the same thing every day, but about doing something regularly.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">Firdose brings us a beautiful reminder that if we measure our practice at all, maybe we should measure it by how it changes the way we react to life rather than by the number of minutes spent on the mat.</p> <h2>SHOW LINKS:</h2> <p class="isSelectedEnd">● Join the Yoga Life Lab with 7 days for free in June: <a href= "https://www.zestforlifeyoga.com/7dayslifelab">Life Lab Membership</a></p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">● Connect with Gwen on <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/zestforlife.yogabonaire/">Instagram</a></p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">● Connect with Firdose on <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/firdosemoonda/">Instagram</a></p> <p>If you are ready for our journey together & never want to miss an episode, subscribe & leave a review.

Rebuilding Trust in Your Body
<p>In this episode, I am joined by Kylie Rook, Yoga Medicine Therapeutic Specialist, Hakomi Somatic Practitioner, E-RYT500 & Teacher Trainer, for a conversation about chronic pain, nervous system regulation, restorative practices, somatics, & most importantly: why & how we can rebuild safety and trust in the body.</p> <p>We explore the difference between acute pain & chronic pain, how pain is influenced by the nervous system, & why feeling safe in the body can play such an important role in reducing pain, improving movement and reconnecting with ourselves.</p> <p>Kylie shares a live practice & practical tools that can help shift us out of a constant state of protection & into a place of curiosity, awareness and healing, while reminding us that recovery is not always about doing more, but often about creating the conditions that allow the body to feel safe again.</p> <p>In this episode you'll learn:</p> <p>● The difference between acute pain & chronic pain, & why chronic pain is about more than tissue damage.<br /> ● How the nervous system influences the way we experience pain.<br /> ● Why safety, trust & nervous system regulation are essential parts of recovery.<br /> ● A simple check-in practice you can use to reconnect with your body & regulate your nervous system.<br /> ● How restorative Yoga, self-havening touch, support, containment & weight can help create a sense of safety in the body.<br /> ● The role of somatics in reducing unnecessary tension, improving movement patterns & building awareness.<br /> ● Why curiosity can be more helpful than forcing when working with pain & discomfort.<br /> ● How slowing down, resting & recovering can become powerful tools for healing.</p> <p>This is Yoga that Works!</p> <p>To celebrate the 1-year anniversary of the Yoga Life Lab, you can enjoy <a href= "https://www.zestforlifeyoga.com/7dayslifelab"><strong data-start= "121" data-end="143">7 days free access</strong></a> to explore the full library of practices, including Yoga, breathwork, meditation, restorative practices, myofascial release & more.
