S 2| EP. 5For this episode, we have a guest interview, which I'm doing a little bit differently than how I've done. Guest interviews in the past. Typically speaking,me when I do guest interviews, I get their whole origin story. We talk about the topic, and then we do some sort of icebreaker questions at the end.The reason that I'm doing this one differently (and I have a feeling there'll be a couple more like this) is because of the connection that I made with today's guest Dr. Karina Smith, she reached out to me on Instagram because she had heard some of the episodes, and just wanted to kind of connect and touch base and nerd out about Yin Yoga and Traditional Chinese Medicine. And because of that her back and forth with her and I in Instagram messages was so good.And then we met on Zoom, and just had like a chat, and just 2 colleagues kind of chatting it up. I realized that I think the best way for me to have her on the podcast was to have a little bit more of what I would call a fireside chat.So yes, we're going to hear about Karinas' Yoga journey and things like that. But there's a lot more of her, and I kind of going back and forth. It's more conversational than an interview style.When we have these connections on Instagram, and then, when we met on Zoom, it just felt like the conversations were so good and so rich, and so nuanced, and there was so much there that I just kept wanting to hit record.And so this time we hit record.😉There was so much that came out of this interview that the recording was nearly 2 hours long 🫣So I have edited the audio down significantly but if you want the whole thing you can get that here in the Yoga Tube Video.There were so many nuggets in this episode that it was difficult to even narrow down the subjects to come up with a title!But upon listening to it again I think what will stand out to so many teachers here is the chat we had about Yin Yoga and Traditional Chinese Medicine and some of the mistakes we see in the Yin Yoga world when it comes to lumping these together. So that's the part of the conversation I'm spotlighting but please know there is so much more richness to this conversation.Yoga Teachers: Join The Waitlist for my Therapeutic Yin Yoga Training at the bottom and top of the Page https://nykdanu.com/teachers/yin-yoga-teacher-training/To Join my Yin Yoga Classes on Zoom: https://nykdanu.com/students/yoga/online-yoga/To subscribe to my On-Demand Video Library: https://nykdanu.com/students/yoga/video-library/Anatomy for Yoga with Paul Grilley: https://pranamaya.com/courses/anatomy-for-yoga/?ref=20Find Dr. Karina Smith on:Her website: https://www.drkarinasmith.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkarinasmith/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/drkarinasmithHer Podcast: https://www.drkarinasmith.com/podcast
