Yoga Brain

Welcome to Yoga Brain. A platform that’s normalizing meditation, and a podcast that’s exploring yoga off your mat. In each episode, we sit with teachers, healers, leaders and great thinkers to ask the question: "What is yoga?" We ask our guests about their yoga evolution, and how they've internalized the practice as a philosophy, rather a pose. And while every guest and story is different, they all show appreciation for yoga and how it's transformed their way of being in a profound, positive way.

Ambition, Imposter Syndrome, and the Armchair Quarterback

March 13, 2025 • Jennifer Martin • Season 2 • Episode 1

...And we're back!

After a two year hiatus, The Yoga Brain Podcast is bringing you a dose of ancient philosophy to your modern day.

In this solo episode, Jennifer shares a short anecdote of a night out in New York City, where she realizes how ambitious people often perceive themselves as lacking such qualities.

We discuss lessons from "Think Again" by Adam Grant, a psychology book on "knowing what you don't know" and why overly confident people tend to fall short of such skills their pontificating about.

While Yoga Brain events have paused for the moment, we are bringing you insight to your ears with the podcast once again. You can follow along with our host and founder, Jennifer Martin to learn more about how to develop a yoga practice outside the studio and into your every day.
