    Off The Mat with author, yoga teacher Ellie Roscher

    What if your body isn't the problem—but the narrator? Kyle and David sit down with author, yoga teacher, and brilliant human Ellie Rocher to talk about body stories, narrative repair, and what your time on the mat is actually trying to tell you. Ellie shares how a catastrophic gymnastics injury taught her that trauma doesn't change, but the story you tell about it does. And that shift changes everything. They explore the stories society hands us about our bodies, the ones we've been carrying without questioning, and how the yoga mat becomes a laboratory for talking back to the narratives that limit us. From paradoxical breathing to the power of practicing with a prosthetic leg, this conversation gets specific about what it means to listen to your body's whisper instead of overriding it. You'll hear about master narratives and counter stories, why discomfort is an invitation worth exploring, and how bodies that have felt othered can be centered and celebrated. This isn't about self-improvement. It's about witnessing yourself. Revision, not perfection. Follow this exhale back home to your body, back home to this moment where there is so much to notice. You can practice with Ellie at Up Yoga in South Minneapolis, and you can find Ellie at ellieroscher.com and on Instagram @ellieroscher. Her latest book is Fair Game: Trans Athletes and the Future of Sport. New episodes every Thursday. Find us on Instagram @yogapodclass and on our website yogapodclass.com

    33-Min Vinyasa Yoga | Turning Towards Curiosity

    Your body has been trying to tell you something. Are you listening? Class begins at 4:40. David guides you through a 33-minute vinyasa class that treats your practice as self-study, not self-improvement. You'll move through sun salutations, warrior variations, hip openers, and twists with longer holds that ask: what story have you been telling about your body? Is it true? Is it kind? Is it even yours? This class isn't about pushing through. It's about turning inward with curiosity instead of judgment. Your body is the narrator. Your practice is where you learn to listen. No props required. New episodes every Thursday. Find us on Instagram @yogapodclass. For information on our upcoming retreat, visit yogapodclass.com/retreat

    Off The Mat: Contentment Isn't What You Think

    Santosha is usually translated as contentment. It's usually misunderstood as feeling good. This week, Kyle and David talk through what contentment actually looks like when life is hard — how grief and gratitude can exist in the same moment, why "I'll be content when..." is a trap, and what it means to bring your whole self to the mat when your whole self isn't doing great. They get into the physical side too: the duality inside poses like Warrior II and revolved triangle, why softening into a twist gets you deeper than forcing it, and what half pigeon reveals about your relationship to discomfort. Also: The Recalibration yoga retreat at Haramara in Sayulita, Mexico is officially open for registration. Details at yogapodclass.com under Events.

    25-Minute Vinyasa Yoga | Santosha: Finding Contentment

    Visit YogaPodclass.com for retreat details. This week Kyle explores santosha, the yogic practice of contentment, not as settling or going quiet, but as the willingness to stop fighting the truth of where you are long enough to actually feel it. Class starts at 6:20 The inspiration came from grief. After losing his dog Lucy, Kyle found himself cleaning the house, crying, and unexpectedly feeling genuine gratitude at the same time. He kept waiting for one feeling to cancel the other out. It never did. That's the teaching. In class, you'll work with the tension between effort and ease, discomfort and stillness, holding on and letting go. Santosha doesn't ask you to feel one thing. It asks you to be honest about what's actually true right now. What to expect: a moderately active slow flow with longer holds, crescent lunge, warrior two, extended side angle, camel, and a surrender series to close. All levels welcome. No screen required. Next week, Kyle and David take this conversation off the mat.

    Off The Mat | Joy Comes Back

    Joy is easy to miss. Not because it isn't there, but because we're usually moving too fast to catch it. The good stuff tends to pass right by while we're focused on what's wrong, what's next, or what still needs fixing. In this episode, Kyle and David explore what it actually means to find joy in the small things — on and off the mat. They talk about why it's easier to feel the hard moments than to let the good ones land, what it looks like to hold grief and gratitude at the same time, and why joy might already be showing up in your life even when it doesn't feel that way. Plus: Kyle reflects on practicing without practicing, David shares what's been lighting up his teaching lately, and they read a poem that started it all, Joy Comes Back by Donna Ashworth. This week's cue: Breathe in the basic. Simmer in the simple. Visit yogapodclass.com for updates and to sign up for information on our upcoming retreat at Haramara in Sayulita, Mexico, March 27 - April 3 2027.
