I put that version on YouTube, and then I put an audio only version out for Apple, Spotify, etc.   This week, I accidentally had the camera flipped around without knowing it. I went to a beautiful park, picked a gorgeous place to sit, and then filmed the street instead of me in the pretty spot. Lmao. The funny thing is, just like the camera was facing the wrong way, I’ve realized I’ve been pushing in the wrong direction too. I am forced to face something that I’ve avoided admitting for some time: I am deeply burnt out. Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It's characterized by feelings of overwhelming fatigue, cynicism, detachment, and feelings of ineffectiveness or lack of accomplishment.   If you’ve never experienced burnout—and I hope you haven’t—it feels like the kind of tiredness that sleep cannot cure. It’s beyond exhaustion. And it’s affected how I’m showing up as a teacher and in my whole life.    What I know is that the cure for this type of burnout is savasana—deep rest. I often say when students lie down for final resting pose: “Rest requires as much practice as work itself.” It’s time for me to practice savasana for myself right now.    Starting June 1st, I’ll be taking June, July, and August off for recovery and deep rest. That means no live classes or new video content.   My hope is that with some rest I’ll rediscover my passions and have something new to share.    In this week’s episode of the Luminous Recovery Yoga podcast, I share my process behind my need for a break. I’ve also shared how I intend to spend this time and my plans for the fall.   I want to reassure you that while I'm taking a break, the podcast isn't disappearing. While new episodes won't be released for a while, there is a treasure trove of past episodes that you can explore and revisit on my YouTube channel. It's my hope that these episodes can continue to provide guidance, inspiration, and company during your yoga journey, even while I'm recharging.   Currently, my plan is to head to Mexico for the summer. I’ll recuperate on the beach in the sun. I’ve been craving that for years. For the fall, I’ve been accepted in the Master’s of Business Administration (MBA) program at Portland State University.   I’m definitely not done with yoga. But, I need to change my relationship with how I do things right now. I’m rediscovering my own practice and need to cultivate stillness on my mat.   One of the most important yogic principles is sthira sukha asanam, or the balanced action between effort and ease. It’s about knowing when to retreat and restore, and respecting the signals from our bodies. This is the lesson I’m embracing now. I hope it inspires you to listen to your own needs and grant yourself permission to rest, renew, and revitalize when needed.   With love,   ~Kari ⌚ SCHEDULE: ⌚ New yoga and recovery videos EVERY Monday 👉 Subscribe to my channel.

Not one day in the whole month.    I was traveling and it felt inconvenient. By the time I got home from all the traveling I felt like a basket case. I was tired of my excuses for not committing to a daily meditation practice.   I decided to commit to a one-year daily meditation practice. Every day, no matter what, I would sit on the cushion as soon as I woke up and practice.   May 4th, 2023 will be my one-year meditation-aversary. Ok, I’ll just go ahead and say it—May The Fourth Be With You!   One of the major life changes—among many—to happen for me this year has been sobriety.    It’s not lost on me that my sobriety journey also fell within my one year of meditation commitment.   I am learning to hone in on one of the hardest things of all—how to sit with my feelings of discomfort rather than reaching for something to put in my mouth and change the subject.   This year I have learned how to be with myself in a whole new way. I am embracing the practice of feeling my feelings rather than turning them away.   In this week’s episode of the Luminous Recovery Yoga podcast I decided I wanted to share more about my journey to sobriety and healing from cannabis use disorder.   It’s not that meditation got me sober, but meditation has helped me to get present. My general M.O. for using substances—especially smoking pot— was to actively escape the present moment.   I want to be clear that I do not believe that everyone who uses cannabis has a substance use disorder.    But my usage became obsessive and something I was finally ready to look at more closely.   In my active pursuit of a daily meditation practice I am learning how to heal my relationship with the present moment.   There have been many mornings where I wake up with big feelings. I go to my cushion, and I sit with the physical sensations that I’m experiencing in the moment. I am learning that emotions arise as physical sensations in the body.   I first revealed my sobriety during my interview episode with Durga Leela (find that episode here). As a result of that episode I had many people reach out with questions and comments, so I decided it was time to spend an episode talking more about it.   I share only my experience, strength, and hope in recovering. This is in no way representative of any program or specific method. It just felt like time to share.   If you’re curious about starting a daily meditation practice or sobriety and you need support, or have questions, please feel free to respond to this email.    If you find this episode helpful, I would love it if you share it, comment on it, like it, and subscribe to my YouTube channel.   Happy May Day!   With love,   ~Kari   ⌚ SCHEDULE: ⌚ New yoga and recovery videos EVERY ...

Melissa, say hello to everyone.  Melissa Leach: Hi everybody. Thank you for having me. I'm, I'm honored and very grateful to be, to be here and to be with you. Kari Doherty: Absolutely. I wanna just give everyone a little intro of how I met Melissa. So, I met Melissa in 2019. I was taking a. Assisting course through the Baptist Institute in San Francisco. So I flew from Portland to San Francisco to take this course, and Melissa was the lead trainer of this Baptist Institute assisting course. And it was phenomenal. I just remember being like, this woman is so freaking cool and I really liked Melissa. And so I went home and immediately started following Melissa on Instagram and Facebook and then you know, followed you along just as we do with the people that we admire through social media. And then recently Melissa released a course [00:03:00] called the Queuing Course. And I was like, oh, that's so badass. I'm gonna take that course. So I go to sign up for Melissa's course, and I notice that Melissa still had stock photography on her website of some other woman. And I was like, who? What is going on? Who is this a woman? And then I was like, oh, Melissa needs a little help with her website, so I. Privately messaged Melissa and I was like, Hey, you probably don't know me, but I took a course from you years ago and I think you're really cool and I would love to trade coaching to help you on your website. And Melissa wrote back, this is what you exactly said. You said, wow. And then you said, yeah, that'd be great. So that butted a wonderful friendship. Melissa and I actually meet every week to talk about yoga and to talk about running an online business. And really, I think that we coach each [00:04:00] other. Mm-hmm.  Melissa Leach: Yeah. Oh, absolutely. It is such a, i, I vivid, I actually ...
