Yoga(ish): Moon Joy, the Overview Effect, and Why Astronauts Sound Like Meditators

This is where the subhead goes where we talk about how you need to do your research and two other things 

Andrea Ferretti and Jason Crandell during Yogaland Podcast, Jason in Pigeon Pose

What happens when two yoga teachers fall down a NASA rabbit hole and can’t stop thinking about non-duality, The Overview Effect, and Grandmother Moon? This episode of Yoga-ish — our more personal, less technique-focused podcast — is exactly that kind of conversation.

Yoga-ish is where Jason and Andrea talk about their actual lives: what they’re reading, watching, thinking about, and how all of it connects (loosely) to yoga, mindfulness, and the work of being a human.

We covered so much this week, including:

– Artemis II & The Overview Effect — and why astronauts returning from space sound a lot like meditators coming out of deep practice

– Christina Koch’s transmission from the far side of the moon and what “moon joy” actually means

– Our review of Project Hail Mary + what we’re reading

– Neurodivergent kids, intrinsic motivation, and letting go of the sticker chart

– 10 years of Yogaland — and what’s coming next
