The Weeks Well Podcast

My podcast The Weeks Well is about the modern practice of being your best self in your mind, breath, and body. You will hear conversations between people with a lifetime of practicing wellness and mindfulness, people who have a lot to say about the actual, dig-in dirty work it takes to discover the mental freedom, quiet, and internal bodily authority and autonomy—the peace—that is everyone’s birthright.

I am bringing you conversations on the practices of wellness and yoga, how to understand the deeper study of yoga, and how to find out the best kind of yoga and mindfulness for you. In particular, I am asking these questions: What is yoga lineage? What is it, and why does it matter? How is the burgeoning field of scientific research on yoga and mindfulness the best way to validate yoga as a legitimate modality for both health and disease management? And, perhaps most vitally, what can we learn about the intersection of equity and wellness culture/industry? How many people are actually empowered with the resources to practice being well?
