Summary
I am so excited to share this new season of Yogaland with you! This week, we kick off the season with a live episode that Jason and I recorded at triyoga in London during Jason’s recent teacher training.
If you’re a long-time listener, you might know that both Jason and I identify as introverts. So, we understand why some students tend to shy away from speaking up or asking questions in a large group settings. Jason encourages engagement by asking students in his trainings to split into smaller groups and share what they love about the practice.
Today, we’re answering those questions ourselves, so you can get to know us a little bit better, too.
You’ll learn:
* Our yoga origin stories (why we went to our first yoga class, what it was like, and what kept us coming back!)
* What teachers have been most influential for us through the years and how different approaches to the practice have helped us become the yoga practitioners we are today
* How and why we decided to make the leap from student to teacher
* How we feel that podcasting is similar and different from teaching yoga

| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone I'm Andrea Ferretti and this is episode 161 of Yoga Land. |
| 0:04.6 | It's also the start of season three and we are starting with a live episode for season three with Jason and I. |
| 0:15.7 | We recorded this this past summer at Trioba in London with Jason's 500 hour |
| 0:21.8 | teacher training students they were doing module one. |
| 0:25.2 | So I am calling this episode the Getting to Know You episode. |
| 0:28.5 | I should call it more specifically the Getting to Know Andrea episode, but |
| 0:32.4 | Jason explains at the top of the episode that when he gets people |
| 0:34.8 | together for trainings, one of the things he's noticed over the years is that sometimes |
| 0:39.5 | the introverts kind of disappear. It can be hard for an introverted person to speak up right away, to ask questions. |
| 0:49.0 | And even from the standpoint of just sometimes introverted people need to process things alone and |
| 0:54.3 | before they come back and ask questions. So to sort of offset the dynamic of |
| 0:59.7 | extroverts taking over, not that there's anything wrong with extroverts, we love you too. |
| 1:05.2 | But to offset that dynamic, he gets people into small groups and they ask each other these questions that he asks me. So it's all about my yoga origin story and |
| 1:17.9 | his yoga origin story and it'll just help you get to know us and our perspective a little bit better. |
| 1:25.0 | I hope you enjoy it and I hope that if you have not done a training with Jason that you get together |
| 1:29.5 | with some of your yoga friends and do this with each other. |
| 1:32.2 | It might be a fun experiment. |
| 1:34.9 | Jason will be back in London in January teaching module two and then again in March |
| 1:39.8 | teaching module three. You don't have to take the modules in order. So if you're interested, go to |
| 1:45.7 | Jasonyoga.com slash schedule. Also, there's a really exciting announcement which is that he is teaching the 200 hour foundational |
| 1:54.5 | training at Tri Yoga in London next summer so that'll be August of 2020 and |
| 2:00.1 | again you can go to Jason Yoga.com slash schedule to find out more. I should be at that training. |
