Savasana: The Rehearsal for Letting Go

It’s Halloween week, and we’re lying down with the most haunting pose in yoga — Savasana. This episode explores the art of stillness, the science of surrender, and why every ending is really a return.

Hardwired: Family, Reactivity, and the Yoga of Calm

You’ve done the meditations. You’ve practiced non-attachment. Then your family visits. In this episode, we explore how our bodies recall past experiences, why our hearts race despite our intentions to stay calm, and how yoga enables us to transition from defense to connection, regulating, softening, and reconnecting. Expect warmth, laughter, and a few honest moments — plus simple practices to return to center.

The Yoga of Thrifting

From magical thrift store finds in Hawaii to the very real reason we once traveled to Canada for a secondhand score—this episode is a love letter to thrifting, creativity, and living lightly. We share how thrifting is its own kind of yoga practice: a mix of curiosity, contentment, and non-grasping (plus a few accidental fashion statements). You’ll hear our funniest thrift stories, eco-friendly tips, and how wearing something with a past life can shift the way you move, feel, and connect. Whether you’re a seasoned thrifter or new to the hunt, this one’s all about finding joy in what already exists—and remembering that sometimes enlightenment really does show up on the clearance rack.

The Weight of Should: Yoga on Expectations

Expectations sneak into everything—our yoga practice, our relationships, even how we expect ourselves to be spiritual. They create invisible scripts for how life should unfold, and when reality doesn’t match, tension follows. In this episode, we explore what yoga philosophy says about expectations, how they shape us in both helpful and harmful ways, and how practice can soften their grip. With stories, humor, and simple practices, we invite you to shift from disappointment to discovery, from ‘should’ to presence.

The Kaleena Episode

This week, we turn the mic toward Kaleena—yoga teacher, stillness guide, anatomy nerd, and co-host of Bigger Than Love. From her first downward dog to how she fell in love with teaching, we dive into the stories, quirks, and practices that shaped her path. Expect equal parts laughter, honesty, and heart.

The Lymphatic System- Rivers Under the Skin

Beneath your skin flows a secret river system: the lymph. It clears waste, carries immune defenders, and keeps your body’s hidden highways moving. In this episode, we explore the strange, beautiful world of lymph — how movement, breath, and even grief shape its flow. LYMPHATICS WORKSHOPS: SUNDAY, SEPT 21ST 2:00PM-8:00PM SUNDAY, OCT 5TH 2:00PM-8:00PM AT BOHEME YOGA, DTLA

Grief is Everywhere

Grief isn’t just about death — it’s the ache of change, endings, and impermanence. In this episode, we explore what the Yoga Sutras teach about grief, how it lives in the body and community, and why healing isn’t linear. Yoga won’t erase grief, but it gives us breath, presence, and compassion to hold it.

The Gabe Episode (Turn It Up)

Meet Gabe and hear how music became his life—from a restless kid with a cello to a bass player who now builds the soundscapes for our show. We talk about what hooked him, what keeps him creating, and how rhythm helps him feel steady. We share a few laughs and keep it simple, warm, and real. Turn it up!

Songs and Sounds That Shaped Us

What’s the one sound you’ll never forget? In this episode, we explore the song (and the unexpected everyday noises) that cracked something open inside us. From the first notes of a childhood lullaby to the background hum that feels like home, sound has the power to bypass words and speak directly to the body. We share the memories tied to these vibrations, the emotions they evoke, and why they still resonate within us today. And to close, Gabe offers a 30-minute original soundscape—designed to carry you deeper into the episode's themes. Come for the music, stay for the stories—and maybe remember the sound that shaped you too.

Repair is the Real Intimacy

Conflict isn’t the opposite of love—it’s the practice of it. It’s not the big blowups that wear down intimacy—it’s the tiny paper cuts. The sharp tone. The missed text. The “we’re fine” energy when… we’re not. In this episode, we unpack the secret life of micro-ruptures—those everyday disconnects that quietly shape relationships. We talk about why they matter so much to the nervous system, why repair is less about “fixing” and more about reconnecting, and how intimacy actually deepens when we choose to return to each other. Expect stories, laughter, awkward examples, and practical tools—like repair phrases and embodied gestures—you can try in your own relationships. Because intimacy isn’t about never drifting apart. It’s about the art (and sometimes the comedy) of coming back together.
