  • Go With the Flow and Get Unstuck
    May 8 2026

    Why does flowing yoga feel so good?

    Because flow is the natural order of the universe. When we move like water, or air, or fire, we are experiencing an extraordinary connection with life all around us. This experience is known as life force, or prana or chi.

    Becca shares stories from the book “The Well-Lived Life” by Dr. Gladys McGarey, who believes that movement is a human’s most natural state, and stagnation is detrimental to a person’s health. This episode demonstrates how yoga teachers can help their students recognize where mental and physical energy is blocked, and, with a flowing yoga practice, learn to release stagnation and connect to the natural rhythms of the Earth.
