00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:09,360

8
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: Failing Hot Seat. Welcome to the hot Seat, Yogi, Meg,

9
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: Can I call you that?

10
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: Absolutely? Okay? Do you have a favorite city city? Oh?

11
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 3: Man, that's so hard. I've done a lot of traveling

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 3: in my life. Oh yeah, I mean it's so hard,

13
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 3: but La is probably it's just.

14
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: Home for me. Really. Yeah.

15
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 3: I love la I love all the diversity. I love

16
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 3: all the different foods. I love the different areas of

17
00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 3: the city. It's a very special place. I also love

18
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 3: to leave it though, Yeah, so you know, who knows?

19
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: What about?

20
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite nature spot or a place

21
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: you go to experience nature?

22
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, Joshua Tree is one of my is genuinely one

23
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 3: of my favorite places to escape the city. Even if

24
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 3: I wasn't in California, I would probably still want to come.

25
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,199
Speaker 2: Back because it's just so special and so beautiful there.

26
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: Well, that's a nice segue. That's where our retreat is.

27
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 2: Is where our retreat is.

28
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 3: That's part of the reason why I think both you

29
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,919
Speaker 3: and I separately have such a bond with that space.

30
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: So that's part of the reason why we chose it.

31
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: And what is the discount code for anyone that books this?

32
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 3: By the way, everyone, if you want to book it

33
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 3: is chill fifty to get fifty dollars off this week only?

34
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 2: How good do you have? A non negotiable honesty? Oh? Yeah,

35
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: that's my way? And communication? Yeah right?

36
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 3: That for me, it's not about like I think a

37
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 3: lot of people when it comes to communication that their

38
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 3: issue is they don't want to let people down.

39
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: I'm not.

40
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,119
Speaker 3: I don't mind being let down. I'm like, I'll get

41
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,119
Speaker 3: over that. I just want communication and honesty. Yeah, I'd

42
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 3: rather be let down and you communicate and be honest.

43
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, you know, I feel you on that one.

44
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: I have a motto and it's to be relentlessly honest. Yes,

45
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: And if I'm ever nervous about something or apprehensive, I'll

46
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: just like think of that and be like it's niver

47
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 1: gonna let you down.

48
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: I think that's why we connected from the beginning.

49
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 3: It was because we're both so honest and so like

50
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 3: that is such a value for both of us that

51
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 3: we were like, okay, yeah, we vibe.

52
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is something? And I told you that I

53
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: wrote this questions for you. I want something that annoys you.

54
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:59,399
Speaker 3: People who are not honest, people who are flaky.

55
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.

56
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 3: Like, I just think that we are not here for

57
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 3: very long, and we owe it to ourselves especially and

58
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 3: to everyone else to just be fully authentically ourselves. So

59
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 3: for me, it is it drives me crazy when I

60
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 3: am around people who are not that, because I'm like, what,

61
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 3: who are you pretending for?

62
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: Like, what are we doing here?

63
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 3: Why are we even Like, what is the point of

64
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 3: all of this if we're not honest, if we're not

65
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 3: authentically ourselves?

66
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: Yeah I feel yeah that and fuck boys, Yeah that's

67
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: would be healthy. But who doesn't.

68
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: What is something that makes you laugh or has made

69
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: you laugh recently?

70
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: Man?

71
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: You know, I love TikTok because of the for that reason.

72
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 3: Sometimes when I'm just frustrated, I just go on TikTok

73
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 3: for laughs, Because as much as humans might be so frustrating,

74
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 3: and annoying.

75
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: We're also so fucking cool and funny.

76
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, I just I love going on on YouTube

77
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 3: or I mean anytime we're together.

78
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: Honestly, I feel like we're always laughing.

79
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: We like this is bas let's fix this, Let's do this,

80
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: solve all the world's problems. Okay, do you have a

81
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:25,679
Speaker 1: favorite yoga pose?

82
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, legs up the wall, hands down? Oh fair.

83
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,239
Speaker 2: I could do it anytime anywhere. Not enough. I don't

84
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: teach it either. It's hard because well, you need what

85
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 2: you would like wolves.

86
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 3: You like walls essentially. I mean I do have people

87
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 3: lift their legs up a lot.

88
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 2: I do.

89
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 3: I will say I do that a lot, But personally

90
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 3: it's my it's my absolute favorite.

91
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: It's the nervous system effect.

92
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 3: Yeah and yeah, and it's just good to like it's

93
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 3: technically an inversion.

94
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: It's like you're getting the same effects of an inversion. Nice.

95
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: I always say when I teach legs up the wall

96
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: or like waterfall, legs in the air, I'm like, all right, guys,

97
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,559
Speaker 1: let's get into this parasitic, pathetic, nervous system.

98
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: I'm like, no one knows what you're.

99
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: Saying, Lola, And so I go this is the pose

100
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 1: that will help you sleep well tonight, because it's like

101
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: the thing that just brings out, brings everything kind of

102
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: like down and beah still like a spicy post.

103
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 2: I definitely, I know. I teach my classes.

104
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 3: I feel like I have pretty challenging classes, but ultimately

105
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, I'm such a like

106
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 3: chill vibes person, like, yeah, there's my jam breath work,

107
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 3: like very chill, relaxed.

108
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 1: Well. I think the coolest thing about those style of

109
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: classes is you get to see such a difference from

110
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,239
Speaker 1: the before when people walk into the room on their phone,

111
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: stressed out, running late, and then when they walk out

112
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: of the room they can barely talk to you because

113
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: they're so like Zen and Yogi Stone that it took

114
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: me ages to get used to that with Yin because.

115
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 2: I'm like, do they not lock me? And then I'm like,

116
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 2: oh no, it's they're just wrapped, yeah, literally floating out

117
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 2: of here.

118
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: What advice do you have for someone that might have

119
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: justinished their first teat they want to be a yoga teacher,

120
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: but it all feels a little bit scary. The thought

121
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: of going from being a student to a teacher feels

122
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: a little bit much.

123
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I would give this advice to anybody.

124
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 3: But ultimately is just finding your own voice. I think,

125
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 3: especially when you're first starting out at something, you're wanting

126
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 3: to mimic what you see or what you like of others,

127
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 3: which I think obviously that's how we find our voice.

128
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 3: But if we focus too much on Okay, this is

129
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 3: what yoga, this is what I think a yogi looks like,

130
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 3: and this is how they talk, and then I need

131
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 3: to talk like this, It's like that really doesn't help

132
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 3: us at all. I think it's super important for us

133
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 3: to really find our voice. How do you like saying

134
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 3: through certain things? What transitions do you like to do? Like,

135
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 3: we don't have to fit the same template as everyone else,

136
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 3: you know, Like there's so much that you can do

137
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:15,239
Speaker 3: with yoga. So really just like finding your own voice,

138
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 3: finding your own way to sequence finding, you know, finding Like,

139
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 3: if you really really love music, then then really play

140
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 3: with music. If you really love astrology, bring astrology into

141
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 3: into your teaching. If you really love philosophy, talk more

142
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 3: about philosophy, you know, really finding your own unique way

143
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 3: of expressing it.

144
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: And I think that off the back of that, because

145
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: I'm whenever a yoga teacher auditions or anything.

146
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: I'm always looking for confidence.

147
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: And I think when you found your own voice, figured

148
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: out the way that you love to teach, like what

149
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: the way you like to sequence music, all that totally,

150
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: then you're going to feel confident to be like, hey, yeah,

151
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: I do love what I'm doing right now. I feel

152
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: like I'm putting putting together a really great space for

153
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: people to move and feel connected.

154
00:07:59,160 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

155
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: You can feel that in the teacher's voice when they're

156
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: really and even if it's like a set sequence. Some

157
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: teachers have set sequences, but you can feel when they're

158
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: really confident in sharing that information right, Absolutely, And I

159
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: think to me that's the difference between I truly difference

160
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: between a good teacher and a not as good teachers

161
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: is down to, yes, finding the voice, and then further

162
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: than that is.

163
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 2: The confidence piece.

164
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: Absolutely, because if you're confident, you're going to be clean

165
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,679
Speaker 1: and be concise, You're going to have got the study

166
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: underneath to.

167
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 2: Know like anatomy and whatnot.

168
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: Which is my weakest point, but I still always teach confident.

169
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: I'm just like, nah, yeah, these people need to feel safe.

170
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, absolutely, the confidence piece is huge students can

171
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 3: feel that.

172
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, big time.

173
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: And how hard is it when you're teaching and a

174
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: teacher sneaks into your room and you're like no, no,

175
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: because you get so I get scared that I'm being judged.

176
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: Like my last day I caught I had like a

177

Speaker 1: give me feedback.

179
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm like, it depends if I'm being judged. It's

180
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 3: a different thing.
