| 0:00.0 | Real quick, before we continue with the episode, this channel is 100% supported by teachers and |
| 0:05.3 | students like yourself. So I want to let you know about three things that are coming up that you |
| 0:09.4 | might be interested in. First, my all online spine and core module is about to kick off. It begins |
| 0:14.9 | August 20th. It's part of my 300-hour advanced teacher training program, and I would love for you to join. |
| 0:21.2 | The information is below. |
| 0:22.5 | Second, in early October, I'll be doing a five-day in-person training in London. |
| 0:27.5 | The training is called sequencing 2.0, and it's really about moving beyond just teaching drop-in classes. |
| 0:35.4 | It's about learning how to sequence and create workshops, series, |
| 0:40.4 | short formats, online content, and also how to develop curriculum. So your drop-in classes |
| 0:48.4 | are more cohesive and compelling. Finally, for those of you interested in becoming a yoga teacher |

| 1:23.5 | Hi, Jason. Hi, Andrea. So last episode, we talked about things we were letting go of in our practice. |
| 1:30.9 | I actually got a lot of nice feedback about that. |
| 1:34.2 | I haven't collated yet, so I'm not going to share it. |
| 1:35.9 | But today, we're going to talk about things that are enduring in our practice, |
| 1:42.0 | things that we learned from yoga practice and we still hold |
| 1:47.1 | on to them. We still feel like they make a difference in our lives. And to set the stage just a |
| 1:52.9 | little bit further for people that don't know us, we've both been practicing for about 30 years. |
