Hi everyone!

I’ve been doing asana practice for many years. As my body continues to change, my physical practice continues to change as well. But one thing that doesn’t change: My passion and interest for incorporating the principles of yoga (and Buddhism) into my daily life. I’ve gotten feedback from many of you that you’d like more guidance around this topic and that was the genesis of this week’s episode.

I sat down with Nikki Estrada (@yogininikki) to talk about the first two ahimsa (nonharming) and satya (truth). These are such seemingly straightforward principles, but like everything in yoga, there’s a lot of nuance and that’s why I think this podcast format is so perfect for learning. There will be many more yoga philosophy discussions — in the meantime, enjoy this one and let me know what you think!

Here’s a little bit more about Nikki: She has more than 20 years teaching experience and has been leading 200 and 300-hour teaching trainings for more than 12 years. She was Director of Trainer Development for YogaWorks for more than 7 years where she supported and mentored teacher trainers. She leads intensives, immersions and workshop series in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. She contributes to Yoga International where you can find her articles and videos. Nikki is an Athleta Ambassador for embodying the Power of She, is sponsored by Zobha, has presented at Yoga Journal conferences and was voted best yoga teacher by Marin Magazine 2016.
