This is a very special episode with Tim Bell. We talk about how although some of us are fortunate enough to have people in our lives to help us move and feel better, the reality is that nobody can heal you but you. I love this conversation out of all that I've had with him because it finishes with a meditation guided by the man himself and it's wonderful. Enjoy Tim on Instagram

Tim Bell: Discussion and Guided Meditation

This discussion took place a few weeks after the COVID-19 lockdown, so what we were feeling was still pretty fresh.  David and I discuss how we've had to pivot our businesses, how as yoga teachers we can be there for our students with transparency, and we get to show our support to each other as we talk about the not so graceful moments we've both had lately.  If anything, it's a chance for all of us to understand each other a little better and maybe not feel so alone.

In this class, we focus on our foundation in the legs and feet.  Be ready for some long holds as you ask yourself if you're reacting emotionally to the challenge, or responding to your experience.  No fancy moves in this practice so we can focus on the strength our legs and feet provide. There are not specific props needed, but if you regularly practice with blocks, bring them along!  Enjoy. Isidora's Website

Alexandria Crow

In this episode I had the honour of speaking with Alexandria Crow again. We managed to record this session in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, so we talked about things like what the future holds for those who have run their business in person and are now forced to convert to online teaching. We talk about how making business decisions based on emotion such as panic and fear can be risky, and we discuss what people as consumers should consider when investing in online courses and classes. So have a listen as we speak from our own personal experience in the hopes that we can help at least one of you out there. After all, that's why we do what we do, right?

I just recently started to listen to your podcast and I’m really enjoying it. I’m especially loving the audio classes. Wasn’t sure how I’d like it, but they have been great! Thanks so much for these😊

New listener

I have been trying to listen to many different podcasts that would help me be a better teacher. Bent Over Wellness is my favorite. Isadora does a fantastic job at securing interesting guests and extracting fun and relevant information from them that can be applied to most movement training modalities (yoga, Pilates, strength training). Isadora is a cool chic that creates a comfortable place to learn amazing things!

Caitlin Casella

In this episode I get to chat with Caitlin Casella, Yoga teacher turned physiotherapist. We talk about what she does in her mentorship program with yoga teachers to help them with cueing based on understanding the body and how it functions. And then we really get nerdy and discuss how sensory feedback drives motor input, and what we need to do to enhance proprioceptive feedback and what actually happens when we learn new movement. It all may sound really scientific, but Caitlin explains it all so eloquently and in a way that anyone – yoga teacher, yoga student, or just someone who wants to learn more about the body – can easily understand.

I recently attended one of Alex's workshops purely out of curiosity.  I wanted to meet her and see what she was all about because she seems to have a knack for ruffling a few feathers.  There is this misconception that she "hates yoga", but it's quite the contrary.  Alex is in fact in love with the practice and excited about what the future holds for yoga. In this podcast we talk about things like impermanence, yoga philosophy, yoga injuries and the role of the yoga teacher and what we can do as practitioners to embrace change.
