What does the word "integrity" mean and why are Happy Jack and Hanna always talking about it?

How does integrity relate to yoga?

What does being "in alignment" feel like?

We also discuss if vulnerability is key to being authentic and if that is the same as integrity. Jack shares real-life examples about how his sharing wasn't always vulnerable and how he aims to be authentic and vulnerable in his practice of integrity.

Does integrity facilitate connection to others?

In this episode, we discuss what connection is, the impact of connection, and what the lack of connection feels like. We contemplate on why connection, much like integrity, is a game changer for yoga teachers–and every other human being. 

Also, we're thrilled to spontaneously share the mic with our good old friend Saga from Sagayoga.fi. She's so real and beautiful, what an honor to share with you this spontaneous chat we had with her!

We started a new section called "Yoga Myths" in this episode. In each episode, we'll discuss a saying or an attitude you'll often hear in the yoga and self-help circles. You'll hear our take on the saying "We're All One" in this episode. Let us know what you think!

In this episode, Happy Hanna is back, tuning in from a small country called Liechtenstein where her bestie lives.

We start with busting a myth about yoga being all about relaxation and possibly bypassing life's challenges. We discuss whether pregnant people should start yoga and why we never get tired of talking about yoga and/or doing yoga.

We discuss a current real-life example of "getting outside your comfort zone" (is this another yoga myth we should bust?), and Happy Jack's recent asking for help at school.

Welcome to this episode where we dive deep into the conversation on yoga as a tool for everything–or not..!

We discuss the common saying "I bend so I don't break" that you might have heard in yoga spaces. Is there a part of us that never breaks? We discuss if our hearts can break even if we may not break. 

In this episode, we also discuss the concept of Noble Silence and how Noble Silence has revolutionized both Jack and Hanna's lives, as well as Happy Jack Yoga as a business. Somehow this conversation also will end up in some yogic toilet habit talk, so consider yourself warned 😅

In this episode, we catch up and discuss what coming home feels like. Hanna has been traveling for a month and a half, and Jack has been recovering from a cold and is back to life :)

In The Hot Seat section of the podcast, we discuss our relationship today; what works well and what we can work on. Hanna challenges the status quo with a surprising question: what if one of us meets someone new?

On the yogic front, we discuss the myth “Everything Happens For A Reason” and why Yoga Anatomy is important.

In this episode, we discuss if and when yoga is boring. We also expand on a question from the community on the significance of the sound OM.

We discuss the dynamics of saying No and why it is so hard. Letting go of goals. Things, situations and people who “fall into our lap” when teaching yoga and otherwise. Embracing life, and hoping our kids (and we) keep falling madly in love with life. Teaching yoga at MIT and yoga festivals. What’s beautiful about aging? Is yoga a religious Hindu practice and when doing yoga, are we practicing Hinduism?

In this episode, we discuss the path we create with our choices as we step into the new year. Do New Year’s resolutions really work?

 This is the quote Happy Jack shares in this episode:

“..where we are betwixt and between the familiar and the completely unknown. There alone is our old world left behind, while we are not yet sure of the new existence. That’s a good space where genuine newness can begin. Get there often and stay as long as you can by whatever means possible…This is the sacred space where the old world is able to fall apart, and a bigger world is revealed. If we don’t encounter liminal space in our lives, we start idealizing normalcy. The threshold is God’s waiting room. Here we are taught openness and patience as we come to expect an appointment with the divine Doctor..”

In this episode, we discuss some insights Jack is working on regarding our relationship. We also bus the myth that says that Yoga Is Expensive.

In the Hot Seat today we have Happy Jack with some amazing reflections on the past year. 

The Quote we read in this episode is this:

“I beg you, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”

― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

In this episode, we learn that Jack buzzed all his hair off in West Virginia and Hanna bliss-cried in the churches of Rome, and these two events are not interrelated :)  

Also we discuss how yoga has be a tool for self help and if it’s possibly time to move beyond yoga as self help.

Jack puts Hanna in the hot seat and deep conversations ensue.

Gaura Vani was given the gift of devotional song from birth, raised with the music of the temple, and taught to sing and play beautiful instruments and dance for love and for God. He shares, “I am one of a group of children called gurukulis or those raised in the village of the guru. Even as children, we were aware that though it felt like we were partying when we played music, we were in the physical presence of God himself, who danced with us.” Gaura Vani travels the world sharing the mystical experience of kirtan and leading devotional music retreats.

Gaura Vani is a multidisciplinary artist fluent in music, film, and visual arts. He is most known for his Mantra Music performances. Gaura Vani's events are unifying and transporting—a mix of participatory rhythm and song, story and dance. He has travelled in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Australia, performing both as a solo artist and with his sacred music ensembles “The Hanumen” and “Juggernauts.”

Gaura Vani is also a co-founder of Chant4Change, a mantra-music festival held in Washington, D.C., on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. He lives in suburban D.C. with his wife, three kids, and a ferret.

Kishori Gopi, formally known as Kelly Skinner, is a spiritual teacher who is a conduit of divine love and a vehicle for Divine grace to heal and awaken. In this lifetime, her medicine is to help beings live radiantly and die gracefully through the practices of Bhakti Yoga, Meditation, Reiki, and End of Life Doula Work. She approaches both life and work with awareness, aliveness, and compassion. To her, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing another being remember and fall in love with their own true nature.

As a Bhakti Yogi, teacher & devotee, an integral aspect of her practice is chanting and leading Kirtan in her community in Burlington, VT. She describes Kirtan as group prayer, and a call out together for divinity to manifest in the heart. Kishori teaches weekly yoga asana classes in Vermont, leads international yoga retreats, and offers free Kirtan’s with her Kirtan Band (Kishori & the Kartels). She also runs her own business in which she offers both group and 1-on-1 programs for deepening your spiritual practice, energetic healing, navigating grief/loss/death, and getting clear on your dharma. Through her teaching, she hopes to share the transformational effects of a practice rooted in Bhakti, divine love and devotion. As an End of Life Doula, she supports those who are actively dying, those who are supporting someone who is preparing for death, and those who desire to prepare for their own death (which is coming for all of us, at a time unknown to us). She works with people who are looking for support around their grief, and moving through and managing loss. In addition to being an End of Life Doula, she offers support to those grieving the loss of a loved one, losses of jobs, relationships, and sense of identity/self.

Edwin Bryant received his Ph.D in Indic languages and Cultures from Columbia University. He taught Hinduism at Harvard University for three years, and is presently the professor of Hinduism at Rutgers University where he teaches courses on Hindu philosophy and religion. He has received numerous awards and fellowships, published eight books, and authored a number of articles on the earliest origins of the Vedic culture, yoga philosophy, and the Krishna tradition. As a personal practitioner of bhakti yoga for over 45 years, a number of them spent in India studying with traditional teachers, where he returns yearly, Edwin strives to combine academic scholarship and rigor with appreciation towards traditional knowledge systems. His teaching method is to allow the ancient texts to speak in their own voice and through their own terms and categories. Edwin’s translation of and commentary on the Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali is specifically dedicated to contributing to the growing body of literature on yoga by providing insights from the major pre-modern commentaries on the text with a view to grounding the teachings in their traditional context. Edwin’s most recent published work is a sequel to this by the same publisher entitled Bhakti Yoga: Tales and Teachings from the Bhāgavata Purāṇa. This work, too, seeks to ground the practices of bhakti in the traditional Krishna-centered framework of the Vrindavan devotional traditions.

Bhanu Nandini felt an inner calling for self-realization and radically transformed her life at the age of 21. In search of the essence and true identity, she discovered the path of Bhakti Yoga in 2005 and has since lived, learned, and served in various ashrams. Her practice centers on worship, meditation, mantra chanting, and kirtan.

She is deeply drawn to the power of pilgrimage, spending two months each year travelling to sacred places such as the Himalayas and Vrindavan and guiding others into this transformative experience. She also actively supports the organization of spiritual retreats, seminars, and kirtan gatherings worldwide.

As a dedicated student of wisdom texts and Bhakti philosophy, she continually seeks deeper spiritual experiences and insights. She shares her journey through presentations and personal conversations to inspire others along the way. In 2009, she co-founded BrajCare, a welfare organization in Vrindavan that provides medical and other support to widows, sadhus, and impoverished children.
