Sam has been teaching yoga since your host Lucy was 8 years old… and beyond that his practice first began when he was just a boy - learning from his Mother whilst growing up in Uganda.  His yoga teaching experience has taken him on quite the journey - from healing his own back injury (sustained from playing Squash), to teaching 156 people on a beach in Florida, to having shared his knowledge &amp; trained up 93 yoga teachers in our local area - Sam is a yoga teacher who cares passionately about sharing the practice with others.  He’s also authored two books (with a third in the making) - Back Ache: Eliminate Back Pain, Realign, Repair and Maintain Your Back being the main one so far &amp; produced a DVD with his son &amp; actor Doug Rao - Sam &amp; Doug Rao’s Yoga for Any-Body. (They also appeared together on the Alan Titchmarsh show together - you can see them in action here https://youtu.be/fCBhbfdddts).  In this chat we cover many topics from Sam’s sequence to maintaining a strong &amp; healthy spine, to self-acceptance, to taking ownership of our health. If you want to know more about Sam, or train with him to become a teacher yourself, the best place to reach him is via his website www.samraoyoga.com - on Instagram he can be found @sam_rao_yoga  If you want to connect with your host Lucy she can be found at www.lucyvictoriajackson.com or @lucyvictoriajacksonyoga  The book Sam mentions at the end is Inner Engineering by Sadhguru &amp; the other authors he recommends are Deepak Chopra &amp; Dr David Hawkins.

Ep. #13 Sam Rao: Remedial Yoga

Sam Rao is a multi-discipline musician, entrepreneur, and developer of Practicia, an innovative app platform that helps students and teachers make practicing more fun and productive. As a musician, Sam studied composition and conducting at Oberlin Conservatory and the Aspen Festival. As an entrepreneur, he co-founded his own music school which grew to be one of the largest in Northern Ohio. Everyone knows that practice makes perfect, and no doubt you’ve heard the old adage, “how do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice”. Ah, but practicing a musical instrument can be the bane of any student and a frustrating topic for teachers and parents alike. I’ll confess, I hated practicing the piano as a kid (and I still hate it as a professional). It’s just one of those “necessary evils” that you have to suck up and do, just like eating your veggies or sticking to your exercise plan, right? As a music educator himself and the co-founder of one of the largest music schools in Northern Ohio, Sam understands the challenges of practicing well. As the CEO and founder of Practicia, he’s introducing a radical new approach to help students and teachers make practicing a musical instrument profoundly more productive and - dare I say - fun? - with some really interesting accountability and gamification tools.
