ADHD-Solitude-Technology-Yoga Therapy In Modern World-Podcast 718

Facebook. Twitter. Snap Chat. Social gatherings. These days it seems like we’re around people all the time. Suddenly solitude has become a ‘thing’. We’ll talk it in ADHD-Solitude-Technology-Yoga Therapy In Modern World-Podcast 718

ADHD Is The Culprit?

Moreover I’m starting to hear a lot of talk about Attention Deficit Disorder. ADHD is the culprit in almost every analysis of what’s wrong with the world. To be sure there are places where smartphones aren’t kosher. On the other hand maybe we can put the judgments on hold.

Yoga Eases The Pressure Of Modern Life

Most noteworthy is Yoga’s role in easing the pressures of modern life. I call these podcasts ‘Always A Student‘ because I am not a teacher. Naming my yoga podcasts this way also keeps me humble. They are designed to share my life experience as well as my experiences as a yoga student. Learn more in ADHD-Solitude-Technology-Yoga Therapy In Modern World-Podcast 718.

Solitude Kicks Ass

These days I prefer solitude. Life and a daily Yoga practice have taught me that I need more time to process events in my day to day. Spending time alone is a great way to process. Most of us have a lot running through our minds. An hour a day on the mat is usually the only time where we can breath and be free of the constant mental chatter.

Smart Phones On The Mat

When it comes to modern attention deficit disorder, in this free wheeling talker, I get into teacher’s reactions to smart phones in the yoga studio. I also talk about judging a younger generation. Are millennials sitting on their yoga mats finishing up the day’s emails and texts, or checking their social media feeds really all the ails the world?

No Place Better For ADHD Than The Yoga Studio

In conclusion, I think hyperactive people perceive life differently. Rather than some kind of condition to be ‘treated’, what if ADHD isn’t some kind of mutation to allow us to better use fantastic new technology. One of the cool things about being hyperactive is, we also have a great capacity for exercise.

I can’t think of a better place to enjoy being hyperactive than the yoga studio.

Super Stretch Yoga For Kids-Kickstarter-Jessica Rosenberg-Podcast 680

Anyone who has practiced Yoga for a while knows the benefits of a daily practice. Most of us wish we could have started sooner than we did. Fact is, the promises of yoga aren’t just for adults. A longtime yogi and teacher has developed an application to teach a mindfulness practice to kids. Find out what it is and how you can support it in SuperStretch Yoga For Kids-Kickstarter-Jessica Rosenberg-Podcast 680.

Funding A Yoga Business

These days funding and growing any kind of business can be a challenge. Yoga businesses can be even more challenging to fund. Jessica and I talk about the value of including KickStarter in funding a yoga business in Super Stretch Yoga For Kids-Kickstarter-Jessica Rosenberg-Podcast 680.

Especially relevant in this conversation is the question of whether Yoga businesses need their own financial infrastructure. Sometimes getting funding for Yoga businesses requires a broadminded investor, or someone who is passionate about Yoga. This can be an impediment to getting financing.

The Promises of Yoga

Moreover the idea of teaching yoga to kids is not without controversy. Jessica talks about the practice of Yoga as an enhancement of the individual. Is it complimentary to the student’s culture or religion? Talking to an experienced teacher always opens my eyes to the physical, mental and spiritual reactions these postures produce, as well as their benefits.

The Path

In conclusion this is also a great conversation about what living the life of a yogi is about. Teachers and students on this path know it requires the commitment of a warrior. This is especially true for Yoga Entrepreneurs. Jessica has a great deal of in depth knowledge about the practice and business of yoga, proving her warrior spirit. Thanks again to her, and to SuperStretch for taking the time.
