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.

007: Kyra Weinberger Hall: Ashtanga, eating disorders and performing arts

September 13, 2021 • Yoga Brain • Season 1 • Episode 8

We speak with Kyra Weinberger Hall, a yoga teacher in Kansas City. Being raised by dancers, Kyra's upbringing was far from "traditional", and involved multiple moves across country during her formative years.

As Kyra hit her teens, she started manipulating her food and dove into a variety of eating disorders. By 25, Kyra spent two months inpatient at a treatment center, and shares with us the transitions and internal shifts she has taken since.

Kyra shares with us her journey from hardly holding a plank to regularly expressing Pincha Mayurasana, or forearm stand. She explains Ashtanga yoga - the eight limbed path - and how her practice has transformed her life.
