This week's meditations are going to focus on self-compassion. With that in mind, I decided to re-run a previous episode where I explain the research and benefits on self-compassion. Much of the research -- led by Dr. Kristin Neff — has shown that self-compassion is a more effective way to increase optimism, happiness, curiosity, and connectedness. This episode talks you through the research and offers three very practical ways to incorporate self-compassion in your yoga practice and life.Shownotes can be found at: www.jasonyoga.com/podcast/episode265Always a good idea to subscribe to our newsletter for new content as well as info on our upcoming trainings and workshops! www.jasonyoga.com/newsletterSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/yogaland.
