Summary

If you're like a lot of yoga students, you probably feel a bit conflicted when it comes to social media: You want to spend more time in the present moment, but you also love how social media makes you feel connected with the people you love and what's going on in the world. It can be so hard to find a balance that allows you to enjoy the best social media has to offer without feeling like a slave to technology.

In this episode of Yogaland, Jason and I share some practical tips on using social media both as consumers and as yoga teachers (who need to use it as a marketing tool and as a way to connect to their students).

We talk about:

* How to stop comparing yourself to the edited highlight reel you see of others' lives on social media

* Creating healthy boundaries around how and when you use social media

* What yoga teachers can do to stay authentic on social media and use it to nurture the relationships they have with their students

0:00.0	Hey everyone, I'm Andrea Ferretti and this is episode 108 of Yoga Land.
0:04.6	I keep wondering as I say the episode number at the beginning of an episode
0:11.9	if I should start over with number one
0:13.7	because it just starts to feel weird to say such a big number. I mean I know there are
0:19.6	so many other podcasts out there that have much bigger numbers so it's not that weird but it just
0:23.7	feels a little weird to me. Anyway, welcome to episode two of our summer series creating a sustainable
0:29.9	yoga practice. Today we're going to focus on social media and the focus is really how
0:36.1	to stay sane and enjoy social media. This is something I've wanted to talk about for a
0:42.3	while I feel like there was a time where I really had to coax Jason toward kind of enjoying it. So I've been in this coaching kick around social media for a while. I have also managed all of our different
0:56.2	accounts, although Jason does the writing for his accounts, but we do have many
1:01.1	different accounts and I have come to the conclusion that it's really
1:06.7	behooves most of us to spend most of our time and energy on one account just to stay sane and pick the one that you enjoy the most.
1:14.0	So for right now anyway,
1:16.4	Jason and I seem to be enjoying Instagram the most.
1:18.6	That's where we spend most of our time and energy
1:20.9	and that's really the focus of this conversation.
1:24.3	Before we start with the conversation, I just want to remind you that if you are not on
1:29.3	our newsletter list, you probably want to jump on.
1:31.8	There's just all kinds of great things that are
1:34.0	included in our newsletter that we don't include anywhere else. So you can subscribe to it
1:38.6	by going to our home page Jason Yoga and
