Summary
What happens when two yoga teachers fall down a NASA rabbit hole and can't stop thinking about non-duality, The Overview Effect, and Grandmother Moon? This episode of Yoga-ish — our more personal, less technique-focused podcast — is exactly that kind of conversation.
Yoga-ish is where Jason and Andrea talk about their actual lives: what they're reading, watching, thinking about, and how all of it connects (loosely) to yoga, mindfulness, and the work of being a human.
We covered so much this week, including:
- Artemis II & The Overview Effect — and why astronauts returning from space sound a lot like meditators coming out of deep practice
- Christina Koch's transmission from the far side of the moon and what "moon joy" actually means
- Our review of Project Hail Mary + what we're reading
- Neurodivergent kids, intrinsic motivation, and letting go of the sticker chart
- 10 years of Yogaland — and what's coming next
