Hands-on Adjustments and Receiving Feedback

0:00 Welcome back to the going pro yoga, podcasts, I'm excited to be back here. Got a busy few months. Doing lots of trainings after covid, so kind of slowed down, so it's been a busy few months, we're excited to be back on the mic here and talking about some exciting things.

0:15 So Byron is with me here. Hello, Byron. How are you? Hello. It's a privilege to be back. Yeah, it feels good, right? Yeah, excited. Yeah. Welcome to the going pro yoga podcast. If you love yoga as much as I do, then this podcast is for you. We talk all things yoga related for teachers in order to supplement and complement and even support after a 200 our yoga teacher training.

0:41 Or if you've never done a training before this podcast is all about just learning more about yoga in an authentic way together with Paul t0 do in Byron de Marseille, we put together this podcast to provide you with a free resource to learn more about yoga, whether you want to share yoga or teach yoga or just Practice yoga. This podcast is talking all things, yoga related and we try to talk from the teachers perspective and also the students perspective, to make

1:04 sure we get a full 360 degree, angle on what yoga is all about and how its evolved in the modern world, Welcome to our podcast. So we're going to we're going to deconstruct one of the trainings actually did which is seem to be pretty fun and exciting and new. And we actually haven't so Byron. And I did this training together with 50, our training five days and we haven't actually had Moment to like deconstruct it or like even review it or talk about it. So we thought we would just talk

1:32 about on the podcast. Then I got asked by her like what he thought about the training, but just to give you some context purposes. I mean, I'm sure he'll ask me the same but context purposes. For the training is it's a Hands-On adjustments and accelerated skills training.

1:44 So is 5 days of learning how to touch and all this fun stuff that people like to feel in their bodies than the practicing yoga. Whether it be for alignment or expressing the pose, or feeling an additional stretch of the pose Plus work. Going on what we found to be like important skills for professional yoga teachers to build confidence and ultimately a career.

2:05 So we turn this into a five-day training and had some students show up and it was pretty exciting and five days went by Michael at the beginning. I was a little like how is this going to go and lots of good things happen?

2:17 So I think we could just talk about that overall maybe from the beginning and walk through it and then see where it goes. What do you think by? Yeah, I mean II think that's what I do. I'm thinking a lot as you. Eek. So if you're thinking a lot.

2:30 Yeah, perfect. Yeah. I figured as you know, as much. So how did you think the training started? Like we basically had 12 students come in and for context purposes. Again, seven of those students came from a previous training who wanted to continue their basically committed.

2:46 They were super committed students who were like, hey I truly want to be a good teacher like they knew for sure. And they're just like I need to work on my skills to get better, right? So they saw the skills training and they joined. And then in in we come.

3:00 So what was your first thoughts about yam overall thoughts? My first thoughts are like, you know, as I listen to you talk about it and I'm recalling certain memories from the training and reviewing it. In my mind, I'm also remembering we did that right after the 200. Our training.

3:13 Exactly. On top of that. So many things, I could go back several months before. So I'm just like, wow, I'm really getting to reflect on it. It was Yeah. And you know you didn't do it justice. I mean this was a fucking huge success, considering where it was before it started a training that nobody has done. As far as we know, this is the first training of its kind ever in the history of yoga.

3:39 This is true. The Hands-On part. Sure that's been done in different peoples ways. I'm sure but the accelerated skills part of it was like we went into Thinking, how is this really going to go, right? Because so much of it seems to be dependent on the skill.

3:57 Level of the people that sign up, mmm, but we put it all together and at the end of the training, the feedback was phenomenal. And yeah, we can go into that a little bit more. Yeah, cool. And interesting thing about feedback that we got from the students is we started to realize that what the training truly was right before it, is that the importance of Hands-On adjustments and a lot of others. Skills that come with, let's just say, professionalism in general.

4:27 Start with I'm having a brain fart feedback. There it is. Yeah, under that's where you're going. Yeah, exactly. So feedback. So at the beginning of the training, we made sure that, you know, giving feedback is the most valuable thing for when you're touching people because you don't know certain things like whether or not they like it, they whether or not they like it, they don't like it, it's too hard, it's too soft, whatever, you know, they want

4:49 more, they want less and that's something that That develops over time and experience. So this training was heavily like experience-based. There's a lot of practical useful time to actually learn and get feedback from Individual teachers and ourselves who are reviewing kind of watching and kind of giving guidance throughout that.

5:07 So there's just a loaded amount of feedback in five days so much feedback. Yep. Yep. There's a lot of feedback. Yeah. And then well, I was just thinking like I remember that going down. I don't know if you remember what I remember, but we were, I remember thinking like, okay, we need to stress a couple of things in this training in the very beginning.

5:29 And I hope there's some of you listening to can really appreciate what I'm about to say, but I might be educating some people as well but holding space and these in any training. The what you You say in the beginning of the training is so important. I mean, it's so important because it sets the tone, it establishes the container, whether it's rules or certain Concepts you introduced or connection or touch or anything. How you introduce it as just I

6:01 found this to be crucial to the success of a training. Not just the success, but the absorbing of information, the receptivity of people be loved that seems to circulate faster and it just makes it for a better experience.

6:16 So the feedback was something that I felt we needed to make it clear that this was a feedback training. I remember you. And I talked about this for a while, but when it came time to really, you know, get down to the actual like nitty gritty. You know what are we going to do? That's what we did.

6:34 We're like, okay guys, get comfortable with feedback. This is a good system to do it. Say something that reflects like something, they might can work on. Let's call it constructive and something that you enjoyed that they did. Well and I just do that for politics. You know, just honestly like if you're really good feedback, you don't have to follow that right now. Find a way to make them feel good. Yes, doesn't have to be the strict one and one ratio and Leah, positive negative

7:01 feedback. Yeah. But at least gives them a little bit of a guideline to be like, okay, I need to start thinking about this way. Okay and feedback exists in a couple different ways as well. One is after you let's say our touched, you need to have the feedback. If you're the toucher, if you're the person adjusting in yoga class then you need somebody to tell you oh that doesn't feel right or that feels great.

7:28 Can you press more? How about move your hand a little bit? Down into the right. So many of these Hands-On adjustments are like cm of difference. Make a huge impact, but nobody knows except the person being touched and it changes from person to person. So that's one part of feedback.

7:49 The other part of feedback is without its nonverbal, it's nonverbal feedback. If you're just watching people, you touch them. You're watching, you adjust them, you watch it. If you're teaching Teaching yoga, you're speaking to them, you're watching them.

8:05 So you're just getting this constant feedback thing going on. Which seemed to be like a really good stage to set. Yeah, it worked really well, not just because of the verbal feedback but I find that People started to understand the student started to understand, poses way more clearly because it's like, yeah, cueing and getting them there and stuff like that.

8:28 But when you actually put your hands on someone, you understand like primary purposes of the pose and like, what are we really trying to do in this pose and like what secondary or third importance? You know what I mean? And because we kept emphasizing those things and with the actual feedback in the student being together, this feels good or I feel stronger or feel more stable.

8:46 Like you don't really get that in a yoga class where you say q and people are like I feel stronger, thank you for that cute. You know, that you don't get feedback in a class. So this was an opportunity that yeah, you do the Hands-On adjustments but from that it translates back into your knowledge and understanding of each Asana and then ultimately kind of might even help with getting your cueing a little bit more specific and accurate.

9:08 Yeah, and then you have to also give them the beware warning sign of ego. Yeah. You know, you guys are professionals your all yoga teacher, some of you for many years. So if you don't receive feedback. Well, that's as good sign that your is not as far along as you think you are from. Yeah.

9:26 So that came up a couple times but it wasn't a big deal. Yeah, seem to work really well. Yeah, that all centers around receptivity, right. Yeah, well, we by topic and we did the second day. The, so that's the next bullet point that we should bring up is day two of the training.

9:46 We decide that the thing to talk about the most is receptivity. So we have power of receptivity day to. Yep. What is receptivity? How do we integrate that into our lives and essentially, just educating anybody who's not sure what it is, is, it's listening.

10:05 It's a listening but that doesn't do enough Justice for it like deliberate listening or active listening very much. It's also like In a sense you are receiving information and considering it to be true. Yep, you're not sure if it's true but you're not going to be skeptical.

10:25 Like you're automatically like giving it the truth. Yeah. I accepting of it to be possibly true. Yeah. So essentially it's an openness woman. It's it openness and you know, there's a lot of yoga, not a lot of I wouldn't say a lot but there is Yoga information out there. That talks about To Tha T.

10:46 Inhalation breathing in krishnamacharya, this aspect feminine energy. And so receptivity is the key to feedback assuming something could, you know, considering it to be true. That this at least for this person's experience. It was true.

11:05 Mmm. Is it true for me and my am I that way? So as we started to do the accelerated skills, call it a gauntlet, Exercises. We had four people different exercises. The feedback was so important, like, hey, your voice is a very loud. Can you speak up a little bit?

11:25 And they're like, really? I feel like I'm yelling and if you're like, wait, no, you're not yelling guys. Is she yelling and like, really giving them the opportunity to own the feedback like look forward to it? Like now, do you guys realize she can't hear you, she doesn't understand that. She that you can't hear her.

11:42 Oh, okay. Finally, the point gets it. Cross and then boom. You see the real personality come out and it's kind of like magical. Yeah. The cool thing about what I noticed in this training is something that you mentioned. It's like I mean everyone's willing to share a feedback or an opinion. Let's just say and some people might think the words are synonymous with each other but with the one thing that I liked about what you said was you know if you get that one piece of feedback one time like okay yeah

12:12 sure. But if you hear it a second time or even a Time, you know, then it even two times is enough, should be enough more for you to consider it. So when you're in a, you know, a cohort of like 12-14 people basically in like two or three other people kind of nod their heads like, yeah, I agree. It wasn't too loud or it could have been louder or was hard to hear you.

12:32 Then it allows that person to receive it a bit more because it almost has more weight to it. You know what I mean? Definitely not supposed to just one person be like, you should be louder and you're like, oh, okay. Hmm. So just backs up the Feedback.

12:44 A little bit more to be possibly true if there's more parties that see or feel the same way. Yeah, one person is not enough exactly and if the container has it been set to be it receptive, be receptive. And to very much look forward to feedback, you may just push against it, never hear it.

13:05 So yeah, I mean this is a huge problem culture in general, probably just change this podcast right now to that. It would just be a different tone, but I want to keep talking About our training. Yeah. Cool. Cool. Yep. Oh, so the acknowledging part of receptivity yeah, we're going to start off with this one to mention that people that are hanging on there on an edge.

13:25 Listen to this, receptivity conversation. But no really. I am a stuff. Does excite me. So acknowledgement, meaning it's not listening and receptivity isn't just being quiet and waiting for somebody to finish talking and that's what some people have been programmed or can culture at, you know, conditioning is taking place where certain people to think.

13:53 Oh, I'm not supposed to talk right now. It's their turn to talk. So, I'm going to sit here and listen until they're done talking. But then they look like somebody who's not actually engaged in the conversation, they're just waiting not necessarily to talk.

14:07 They're just waiting for somebody to be done talking. Yeah. Because they think they're honoring this by being a good listener. So we talked about acknowledgement being a form of nonverbal listening, like, nonverbal talking in a way communication. So, nodding your head or kind of luring them in, like, really just seeing them and like, really leaning into what they have angrily leaning in sometimes. Yeah.

14:30 Like you know kind of a body language is changing as I'm talking about, remembering it more. It's like so we did exercises to acknowledge. How does it feel when you are acknowledged during a conversation as opposed to not and completely ignored even?

14:44 So we did all the contrasting things set that up and yeah, it just kind of laid up a beautiful foundation for the next three days after that. And yeah, and then the next day, where we started a piece and a little bit of the The sister to receptivity, which is expression, right?

15:03 We're like the opposite of. So it's obviously, you know, listening and being quiet and conscientious, and present and stuff like that. But then there's also expressing and sharing and letting things out, and giving your opinion and giving your feedback. Yes, type of stuff and there's so many different ways, that, that can be looked at from a skills perspective. There's so many ways to look at expression. Yeah, so maybe we should even rewind a second. You mentioned it.

15:28 This was a Hands-On adjustment. And accelerated skills training. Basically things that we think you and I think are the most important things that you can address at a five-day training to accelerate your confidence as yoga teacher.

15:43 Yeah and so that being said we chose the power of receptivity, the power of expression, the power of Flo the power of shavasana which is rest learning how to recharge your batteries. Do we do? Do one more the power of touch, of course, course the power of touch was the main theme so yeah, those are the things we valued and we're talking about receptivity first and then Michael's mentioning the opposite of that. So expression of will power of expression itself and this has to do with sharing vocalizing.

16:23 Are use your voice loud enough. Are you speaking from your own personality are you? Able to also seem like you're receptive receptivity, you know, is existing within your expression. Are you able to listen while you talk? And I was like a bit of a mind.

16:40 Fuck for some people. Yeah, so yeah, the waves, the Ebbs and flows of your tone and your intonation and yes bracket volume bracketing, certain skills language skills. That that are more, that causes it your guidance, or your yoga teaching, to be more effective. Yeah, it helps you people to follow you, exactly letter. So great, it's more of a commanding, Presence. Okay, the magnetic Express at presents magnetic. Yes, magnetic is a big word for that. So you think about Well I kind

17:17 of forgot what I was going to say because you know, you said that making that magnetic thing which kind of stole the show to started thinking about. Sadhguru and how he breaks down words so expression. Like, breaking down that we're, what is the expression? What does it mean?

17:33 What's the root word express? I could only assume with like the Train, the express, the fast route. Express express it, so it's got a really go on Express, you know, take the express Underground. Railroad Express train and foam goes quickly.

17:51 It delivers it does exactly what it's supposed to do in a timely manner, right? So when I think of expression, I also think of impression impression being like, I'm going to make an impression on this moment. Like an imprint in a fast way, And all of a sudden.

18:07 Boom, that's what expression. That's what it is. Yep. That's great. My the only person in the world that's ever thought of that because I just literally put those pieces together not like that kind of make sense. It doesn't make sense.

18:18 Yeah I'm printing any way that you can share information? From one being to another being. I think one of her videos stop recording, but that's okay, yeah, whatever, it's all good, all good. So, yeah, expression, anything that is when one person is sharing information to another person whether they're using words or not sometimes.

18:43 So like you can even express certain energy or something like that. Like you're you know kind of relates back to intention. Possibly like your, how your feeling on the inside can be expressed without words. Hmm you know. So, there's lots of different ways that we can look at expression which is which is really fascinating interview. That was one of the biggest topics that we covered which in probably could have covered for.

19:05 You know we could added more more on to it. Yeah. Other training in my be in line. Yeah. That has to do with that. Yeah, absolutely. And then what else do we cover each? Other out in a while. We had a guest come in actually. Who rescues been on the show before? Yeah.

19:19 And talk about trauma-informed practices and he came in and blew the students away did a great job. Yeah, it's not just that he blew my mind with some of the stuff he was sharing. I was just like, wow, I've never looked at things that way and you know he's got so much skill and experience with being a trauma-informed hypnotherapist that he's seen so many things and he uses his own data and he like he just keeps growing as a professional and it's so

19:42 beautiful to see such an asset and obviously like, you know, breaking down Rusty. And I don't think he's gonna listen to this, he might, but I tell them that were just like talking about it, but it's more of like his Is.

19:58 So that's you do that bird in the backgrounds very loud? Yeah, a little bit. My could pick it up the yeah, okay, so yes, so yeah, Rusty, his expression is really good. Is what it comes down to. It's true, it is receptivity.

20:11 Your yet, in simultaneously, his mind is able to kind of catch if you were paying attention or not and how it needs to be modified. And Uganda has this like way about his presence that comes across a very neutral, might even be viewed as feminine.

20:28 But I would call it balanced. And so it's non-threatening, which makes people feel even more receptive, more receptive to, to whatever he has to. Say, that being said, he has a lot of nuggets of wisdom to that are like gosh, people don't study hypnotherapy. So to get one session which we did three hours. Actually, three hours of that.

20:50 There's a lot of nuggets first-timers, it's like boom, boom, boom, boom, landmine boom, boom shit. Which one do I remember? The, you know, I'm sure if he said in long enough with that kind of information, you know, it might become redundant, you know, but it was amazing.

21:06 Mmm. Yeah, it was really cool. Yeah. Then on top of that, talking about, you know, the Neuroscience of trauma. What's actually happening your brain? Allowing yourself to understand, mechanically, almost physiologically, what's happening?

21:18 And it's got to understanding how your muscles work, but it's like an understanding how your brain works when it comes to, you know, the shadow sides of things like trauma and stuff like that. We also have this guy named Michael Henry on that table. Tell us about the body and relationship to like touch and stuff like that.

21:31 That was me. That was me. What do you recollect from that about the overall training or? Well, I mean we're right now, I think if I'm a listener we have painted a picture for The Listener to be like. Wow, because something about touch.

21:45 But this is very like, much about becoming a better yoga teacher but we did a lot about touch. Yeah. We did. Right now. I think your part had a lot to do with that, right? Yeah. I mean I wanted to do a training like this for over a year Thinking about it, since one of our previous two hundred our trainings and within a, you know, depending on certain trainings will cover a little bit of understanding.

22:05 What Hands-On adjustments are. I assumed was talking to be a lot of content in a 200, our training because there's already enough information that needs to be packed into a short period of time so that I had enough. There's not going to be like any. Yeah, yeah, good.

22:19 But you can't. So anyway usually people get a taste of it and to me I'm just like it's such an important skill that unless, you know, how to do it, you really shouldn't. Do it and unless you have you know some sort of background skill with touching people and like for whatever reason like myself like a physiotherapist or a massage therapist, I mean it's it's super important to understand the fundamentals of touching people. Basically is what it comes down

22:44 to. No doubt. I mean, the honest with you I picked up on it without any, you know, I'm against the rules. I guess, you know, I didn't have any prior training, right? Just a willingness and a, in a Readiness to See what happened, right?

22:59 And enough experience that I've classes at least. Yeah you do what I do. Yeah, more opportunities that you have to actually like, try something out. You might get a little bit of feedback also think if you practice enough yoga and if you place with my, the way I absorbed information, like I just understood the body and then I understood how to route or, you know, ground the posture which is mostly like what you need to know how to do, right?

23:26 But anyways, that being said it would have been a An amazing. If I had a training like this early in my in my life and my career. Yeah, that was pretty cool. I mean I enjoyed it it's kind of my bread and butter with touching people and the fundamentals.

23:40 I mean I had to learn all these skills in the beginning of my physiotherapy training. It's like before you and learn about any other stuff, you need to know how to be personable or you know, relate to people and connect with people and understand certain cues and you know, understanding your own presence and what it means and how it affects other people.

23:57 And So many little nuances that are that you realize can fill up a training, you know, several day training if not longer if you really go into the intricacies. Yeah. Pretty much what we did. Yeah. Yeah. But then what about the power of Flo power?

24:14 Flow is day four and five? And we had a few things about power flow. First of all, what is power of flow? So we spent a long time talking about, what is the power of Flo? What is flow? And people you could tell like it was a slow at first, like, people are like, what is blood means?

24:35 This of course, it means this and you had people not really wanting to To share as much they did. They did that a few people that were into it but it was almost like they kind of thought they knew. But then when I actually went into dissecting, what is flow?

24:50 And there's a lot of research out there on Flow, by the way, just go to Google and you will find so much information about flow and there's some really good resources. I came across several and just started to put the pieces together of what, you know, I consider flow to be from all this as well. And gosh, it was just so so amazing. I should mention we also integrated, a Hands-On adjustments flow, where we flow basically through a son, a where son be salutation and you flow

25:23 as the teacher or the the adjuster with them. On every pose you just stay with them for the whole citation, which was a good exercise to integrate into it. But they'll basically flow is now that I'm kind of remembering it all. It's coming back to me.

25:37 Flo has to do with it doesn't have a pace to it, it's flow. Can be fast, it can be slow, it can be changing all the time flow is literally in flow, so some people think flow might be. Rhythmic. I would consider it to be rhythmic and everything else. So one way to illustrate this, that I started to tell the students about is and also like saw something on YouTube video that just somebody was playing the piano and I can't remember, but they basically set a tone

26:15 and it was like this do not do Do real simple. Those and they're like this represents a brain wave, whatever Alpha Beta. I don't remember exactly. I know a little bit about brain waves but we're let's not go too deep into the brain waves, don't do okay, did it.

26:35 Did did did did, did did do it didn't then she's like, okay, that represents a different brain wave and now we have this one. Don't worry well. Well, well that represents another brain wave and then when you put them all together, that is flow.

26:57 And she just started playing all three with both hands at the same time, duh. Beautiful as this sounds. And it must have been such a hit. Hey, if I get my point across and I thought I care about, I don't know how it sounds out of, but you know, that the key is, can you stay rhythmic? Can you bring color into it?

27:28 Can it even be like hectic at times. No! Flow is being able to micro be so present to all those things that you can micromanage where do you need to dial it up, dial it down. Yep. To stay in this Flow State. Ultimately, it's a place where you feel more creative, you have access to bigger, you know? Sources of knowledge and wisdom and experiences that she bad in your life.

27:53 Yeah, and it's also I think being receptive in the moment to exactly, I thought I was going to say, yeah, if you lose receptivity, then you probably lose your flow. So I've had people Arc yet exactly how that people are curious right now. Like, what did we do?

28:05 Well, I don't want to tell you, I don't want to tell you because we came up with some really good shit. Yep. And this shit was mind-blowing. I don't want anybody to steal it. Exactly. So power of Flo, if you want to know, you should sign up. To the next one, will probably be in March 20 23, but what about?

28:26 So yeah, for day for covered a lot of that. And obviously, throughout the throughout the entire training, we're doing poses all the time or workshopping poses every day every single day. Yep. Right. So, you're getting just a ton of good stuff in a short period of time five days.

28:41 And that was the feedback that we got from the students afterwards is that it was like grew and learn so much in five days that it was more than learning and a 20-day training. They want because it was so specific you 10.

28:52 Please. Please do tune in next time. Yeah, really. Maybe we'll see. We'll see how it goes. Kind of like the five bison. Nice and dense. Yeah, exactly. Just a power punch over over-deliver. Yeah, really good. And then the last day the power shavasana. Yeah.

29:09 Could mean so many different things. Yeah. Well, it's really cool because I have a class at the yoga Barn that basically, we can use as a Hands-On adjustments class. So I have it as a Hands-On adjustments Hoffa class and you've been assisting in this class for a while. We do it together.

29:27 I lead the class and we both adjust that super fun. This is so having this class on the schedule as graduates, you know, they could all come and assist this class of sixty people or however many show up that they got somebody showed up, maybe more and that was really special.

29:45 Yeah, they were so high on life and just getting to experience the herbs in that room and the receptivity in the love and the feedback was just like real-world feedback, right? It's one thing to get Queen obviously feedback in general is great, but once you get a container of five days of all the same people, giving you the same feedback, you start to kind of like give the loving friend family feedback, which is not 100% authentic, be true. But then you get real-world

30:11 feedback from people that don't even know you in a public class, not the next level of like confidence builder in. Absolutely, absolutely. Yeah, I think it's easy to get into our minds when it comes to feedback because ultimately is it a net positive or a net neutral?

30:30 Or not? – that is if it's a net positive than it almost doesn't matter that much what to change, you know? And like that's what our training kind of was those like let's really hyper focus on how to really become great at what you're doing, by giving you a lot of feedback. That's great.

30:51 I love it. It's a subnet positive. But if your left hand goes down, just a tiny right there. That's the center of my sacrum. That feels amazing and then they're like, Oh, I thought it was up here. I thought I was so interesting. Okay, makes the world of difference. Yeah, yeah.

31:10 So you have however, shavasana last day day 5, it's kind of that day where you're like, oh man, this training is already going to be over. So let's talk about things that really matter in the ogre teach you world which are burnt out.

31:26 We've done some some conversations on burnout. Yep. Don't remember exactly how it went down. I mean I'm always learning, you know, more about myself every day. Totally regards to burn out. But yeah let's talk about your not just specifically burnout but different aspects of rest.

31:43 Yeah routes yeah high energy preservation is a big thing. A couple of for me or Energy Efficiency here. Energy preservation is also a good time to go into shavasana and have everybody have a team of people adjusting you assisting you yeah. Yeah who does your kind of saved shavasana for the last? I mean everybody you know your favorite posted be adjusted it is usually shavasana with probably a child's pose very close for a second.

32:11 Yeah there's definitely people like one out of ten people know their answers hell not yeah but yeah it's true. It's true. But yes most people love it. Yeah. Not everybody wants to be touched in the vulnerable position. Like that they'd rather be in any other Bose like fix my warrior two. Right?

32:28 Yeah. That's very, but yeah, I just lay there like a completely. I'm just like, throw me around if you want to, like, we're completely surrender, right? So, yeah, we could pull that into the power of shavasana and just talk about, you know, rest and recovery, rest and Recovery, not just like in a, on a daily basis.

32:50 But also how to how to basically. Not spend so much energy while you're teaching yoga. Yeah. How do we you know, is it 30 minutes after class? Is it one hour? You really need to like focus on and not get caught up in your phone or conversations or you know getting drained, right?

33:14 Really find those ways to accelerate your recovery. Yeah. You know, so that has parted to do with it or is it also have to have to do with see lack of receptivity, to me you spend energy. So like if you meet resistance and your classes and you get hung up on it, whatever this resistance is, it could be so small, Nobody Knows It exists, but you, but you feel it.

33:39 Hey, if you ignore it that you got to decide, is that right, either, am I not be right either? So that might eat at you is in the background eating at you Or if you address it and nothing changes, you still get like drained from it. So you have to figure out how to let something. Go right?

33:57 How to let you go? Yeah, and then yeah, you'll be able to shake it off next class, not so bad. So I do remember other things we talked about with the shavasan at the moment but yeah, creating boundaries is a big part of that as well creating about which is something that a lot of people, myself included. I mean, everyone is constantly working on how much boundary to create because there's definitely a bit of a balance between allowing things in and

34:22 not allowing things in. And, you know, like you mentioned before I think yesterday, but talking about the power flow, it's like with certain boundaries if you put walls up, the flow might not be as flowy per se. Like you know, energetically with your life of you know, things going really well. And if you put up too many barriers or too many boundaries that it's harder to access, let's just say a general flow of life with you know, work and wealth and family and relationships and whatever.

34:50 And I that really resonated with me when you shared that. You remember that? No, yeah, if you if you interrupt, I mean if you stop the flow or you chill for a couple days, let's just say, you know, because you need a couple days. Arrest.

35:04 So it's like this shavasana piece. It's like, yeah, it's really important rest and recovery. But sometimes if you take, you know, a vacation for a week or something like that or five days or three days or two weeks or a month, it's like that will interrupt your flow.

35:19 So it's like the balance between the powers shavasana on and the power of Flo because how can we be embodying both? How can we still be in flow, but also recovering and being efficient with their energy, so that we can maintain a flow State as much as possible. You know, the flow state was very challenging for people many people.

35:39 Yeah. Because they live in a non Flow State. They are very what's, what is it right? Brained left right there, left range, you know, so some of the people who have great touch even and user really good. Are they had all they do all the things very obviously. Well, yeah, from like a written perspective, so it's Like is flow and necessary thing to be a successful yoga teacher and the world.

36:09 No probably not. But you know, saw Guru says, you only need 20 of your 100 and whatever. 16 chakras, 20 out of 116. That's less than 20% of your chakras to be balanced for you to have a successful life off of modern standards. So yeah, it's kind of like, kind of like that. For like the flow.

36:33 Yeah, flow with the Shockers. Well yeah, it was basically saying that you can it's going to enhance your probability to have. Let's say a stronger ability to recharge, like the power of shavasana. It's also going to find yourself in a higher receptive, State more often, because you're able to access flow, which has a receptivity state in it. So, you are watching responding constantly as you are spitting and And you know, like flowing with what? You say, accessing your wisdom.

37:07 So do you need to have that skill to be a successful? Yoga teacher, the answer's. No, but should you have that skill? Probably. Yes, I would say most definitely. Yes yes I agree. Super super valuable. It's like flow is integrating both the receptivity of the expression simultaneously on a continuous basis for extended period of time, and reaching certain benefits as a result of this well-balanced. That's great.

37:33 Yeah, the way you said energy. And if you think about like a lot of the right brained, sorry left brain people. The analytical more, you know, they really get information. They might memorize it. They have a vast wisdom and their that they have not really learned to unlock at any given moment it. Just something to come out of there. And that's what flow is.

37:55 It's like being able to you don't know what's going to come out of there but like trusting that something that you learned that's really important. Was this come out and you'll find your way to express that. So I feel like digging up a couple people in this training that just have so much of that, you know? Maybe if they looked at it a little differently instead of like I'm bad at that.

38:16 Wow, I really need to get better at that. Hmm. Because I'm going to be better at it than Most people that are good at it. It's like it good. That's right. Yeah, yeah, that's cool. Yeah, it's pretty awesome training. I enjoyed teaching it.
