    Welcome back to Dharma Dudes. Rocky and I are back from the Playa and were recapping from our time at Burning Man. Burning Man can be such an experience, not only going to it but leading up to it. We talk about the different camps, the art that is created, but also all the people that come together to join in. It’s a great digital detox from the world. No cellphone service, no email- it was such an amazing time. We tend to do a lot in our lives to keep it moving. But during this week, there wasn’t any of that, just all of us coming together. The community that comes together for Burning man is one of the greatest experiences. The different walks of life converging for a week together. Not only this year but all the years that we’ve individually made the journey with. Don’t forget that you can join Rocky and me for a New Years Retreat in Mexico.MUSIC: Process by 92elmSUPPORT THE SHOW: If you find this podcast valuable you can support it directly by visiting https://donorbox.org/support-yogi

  • 89 | Foundations Before Vinyasa | Feat. Tim Senesi

    18/09/2019 Duration: 30min

    Foundations before Vinyasa with Tim SenesiWe’re taking it back to basics today. Tim Senesi is an Orange County yoga teacher and joins in today to talk about the importance of a fundamental practice.We’ve seen the advanced yoga practices and poses, and we’ve also wondered how we can get into it. Creating a solid foundation before we start to advance our practice. Even chaturanga can be an advanced asana, when the foundation hasn’t been built around it. Sometimes we forget the basics of where our practice comes from and want to dig into tapas- the burning desire to deepen the yoga practice and how to set that aside from the ego. Knowing that yoga should be there to keep us healthy. Tim shares what he is working on when teaching online, and in his group classes. Sharing how important standing postures can be, even when we start to look at arm balances.Follow Tim here:InstagramWebsiteThank you to our friends of the week:MUSIC: Process by 92elmSUPPORT THE SHOW: If you find this podcast valuable you

That it's okay for us not to know as yoga teachers because we facilitate yoga and not a medical practice.While more and more students and teachers alike grow to ask more questions rather than just be taught at, we talk about what that means for the yoga community.

  • 81 | Dharma Dudes: Pride - Being a Queer Yogi | Feat. Rocky Heron

    26/06/2019 Duration: 53min

    Happy Pride Tribe! Dharma Dudes is back.Some strong language is used, with talk about drug use. These talks come from an authentic place, alongside our typical banter. Rocky Heron and I explore how we experience the balance between being in the world as queer men, but also as a yoga teacher.As queer men and growing into ourselves, sometimes it involves turning away from expectations and social norms. Trying on different hats and experiencing the yogic path that we enjoy. We talk about the dichotomy of what is being a yoga teacher and a queer man, with the worldly views of both.Yoga doesn't say that you can't practice it if you enjoy other things that are outside the studio life. As queer men, we have experiences that we have to bring into this world. Knowing where we live, and what is viewed as acceptable practices. By experiencing them we start building the vocabulary around them, and conversations that involve them.Join Rocky and me in Pachamama, Mexico for a New Years Retreat.Follow Rocky:InstagramFacebook
