They say that the subtle aspects of yoga are the most powerful and transformative. Our guest this week knows all about this… and more. Chara and Maria talk with Kristine Kaoverri Weber, a dear friend of Maria’s who knew her as a fledgling self-care evangelist back in graduate school. It was a wonderful and very wide-ranging conversation about everything from self care and social justice, to marketing and weight loss with a touch of neuroscience and generous sprinkling of yogic wisdom for good measure!

Highlights from our chat include:

• How Kristine has been coping with these strange times
• The importance of creating safe communities online - “watch parties”
• The reason Kristine teaches yoga to behavioural health professionals
• How subtle yoga can address the crisis of self loathing in the world
• How the systems of racism are toxically intertwined with the systems of trauma.
• How self care for clinicians will create a foundation for offering trauma informed care
• Self care beyond Netflix, wine and a mani-pedi.
• What is the actual work of yoga?
• How subtle is different from gentle.
• Why active relaxation is more effective for losing weight than exercise
• How do we make yoga more accessible?
• Kristine defines the challenge of public health.
