After 30 years of yoga, we’ve discovered which poses, myths, and cues actually hold you back. Here’s what to let go — and what to focus on instead for a stronger, more sustainable practice. Over three decades of yoga practice, we’ve seen trends, techniques, and teaching cues come and go. In this episode, we share the poses we approach differently now, the myths we no longer believe, and the verbal cues we’ve retired for good. From letting go of “going to your edge” in every pose, to embracing strength training, to rethinking old alignment rules, we reflect on what truly supports longevity, strength, and enjoyment in yoga practice. Whether you’re a yoga teacher or a dedicated student, you’ll find insight, perspective, and a few laughs from our 30 years on the mat.

From Opera to Om: Matthew Shaw on Mental Health, Reinvention, and the Power of Retreats 52:11

منذ 25 يومًا52:11

52:11

This week my guest is Philadelphia-based yoga teacher, Matthew Shaw. Matthew joined the Jason Crandell Yoga Method team as our Lead Teacher Training Mentor this year and has been a longtime student of Jason's. What I didn't know until a few weeks ago is that Matthew spent 20 years in a previous life as a successful opera singer, performing on major stages across Europe—including Germany, Austria, and Hungary. In this conversation, Matthew shares how, in the second half of his career, just as he was really taking off, anxiety and depression decided to tag along. He talks openly about imposter syndrome, how he found solace through yoga and Western meds (you know I love my meds so I'm here for it!) and how his whole journey lead him to where he is today. We spend the second half of the conversation focused on retreats, why they are so vital, and how he creates intentional, supportive spaces for his students to both adventure and reset. We talk about: Why success didn’t solve his self-doubt—in fact, it made it worse The cultural pressures of perfectionism in classical performance His transition to becoming a yoga teacher and community builder The joy he finds leading yoga retreats around the world Why retreats offer so much more than a temporary escape—and how they can ripple outward to impact our daily lives You can find shownotes here: yogalandpodcast.com/episode362 We've got two YTT events coming up! Module II of Jason's 300-hour begins August 20th. You can get all of the details and join us here: jasonyoga.com/300 And if you are considering becoming a yoga teacher, join our 200-hour waitlist! I will send you details and interesting content as well as details about the training. Get all the info here: jasonyoga.com/200 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

Stillness or Stimulation: The Radical Differences Between Hatha Yoga & Patanjali's Breathwork 24:16

منذ 13 weeks24:16

24:16

What if everything you’ve learned about pranayama tells only half the story? In this episode, Jason Crandell breaks down the two radically different approaches to pranayama found in traditional Hatha Yoga and Patanjali’s Raja Yoga. These lineages share a goal—liberation through practice—but their breathwork techniques, underlying philosophies, and mechanisms of transformation couldn’t be more different. Whether you’re a yoga teacher, a teacher-in-training, or a student curious about the deeper roots of breathwork, this talk will help you understand: • Why pranayama in the Hatha Yoga tradition focuses on energy, purification, and awakening Kundalini • Why Patanjali’s approach to pranayama emphasizes stillness, subtlety, and inner quiet • How each tradition views the purpose of pranayama in relation to the mind, body, and spirit • What these differences mean for your breathwork practice and teaching today This lecture is excerpted from Jason’s online Pranayama Teacher Training, a comprehensive course that combines modern science and traditional wisdom to help yoga teachers build confidence in teaching breathwork. 🧘‍♂️ Learn more about Jason’s Pranayama Teacher Training here: jasonyoga.com/breathwork 🔍 Key Topics Covered: • Pranayama in Hatha Yoga vs. Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra • The role of kundalini, nadis, and chakras in traditional breathwork • Patanjali’s model of liberation through stillness of mind • The purpose of breath control (pranayama) in classical yoga • How to apply these insights in modern yoga classes and teacher trainings ABOUT JASON AND HIS ONLINE YOGA TEACHER TRAININGS: ✅ Train to become a yoga teacher with Jason's 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training: jasonyoga.com/200 ✅ Get your 300hr & 500hr Teacher Training Certificate with Jason: jasonyoga.com/300 ✅ The Essential Guide to Yoga Anatomy Online Course: jasonyoga.com/anatomy ✅ The Art of Teaching Beginners Online Course: jasonyoga.com/beginners ✅ The Art of Yoga Sequencing Online Course: jasonyoga.com/sequencing ✅ JOIN OUR MAILING LIST and you'll be the first to know whenever we have new content: https://www.jasonyoga.com/newsletter Hosted on Acast.
