• We Made It: A Candid Year-End Debrief

  In our Season 3 finale, we’re getting real about the year, the highs that lit us up, the lows that taught us things we didn’t expect, and everything in between. We share the moments that shaped us, and the ones that stretched us, and share many new reflections on what we’re taking with us into a brand-new year.We talk about what we’re calling in (both personally and professionally), what we’re ready to leave behind, and the surprises that showed up along the way. It’s candid, cozy, a little emotional, and the perfect wrap to a big year for both of us and our community!Thank you for being here through all the twists, laughs, tears, and yoga tangents. We love you. See you in the new year.Want to support our podcast?

• Rooted in Rest: Lizzie Lasater on Teaching & Becoming

  Today on the podcast, we’re joined by Lizzie Lasater - teacher, writer, creator, and daughter of Judith Hanson Lasater, who has built her own vibrant path in the yoga world from her home in Austria. Lizzie shares how a chance meeting with her now-husband led her to move across the world, learn German as an adult (“why is this so hard?!”), and build a global online teaching career rooted in rest, clarity, and presence.We discuss what it was like growing up around yoga before it became popular, how she eventually discovered her own path into the practice, and how she deepened it with the help of her mom - from seeking early sequencing advice to eventually collaborating on online courses, books, and shared experiences. We explore continued learning, evolving as a teacher, and the strange, beautiful blur between being the student and being the teacher.We also dive into real-life stuff:• staying grounded while traveling• balancing teaching and social media work• her Sunday Reset newsletter & setting “rest buffers”• writing a book on Savasana + the restorative lifestyle• practicing what you preach when you’re tired• making time to take care of yourself as a teacher• cultivating inner wisdom + knowing when to use external resourcesLizzie also shares her philosophy on what students actually need, including the idea that “restorative yoga is a subtractive practice.” And stay tuned for a hilarious story about her and her mom recording content in a studio they shared with rappers.This is a warm, honest, and funny conversation about teaching, rest, growth, and finding your own way. Enjoy!Lizzie Lasater Bio:Lizzie Lasater shares the pleasure of lifelong learning through online and live workshops in creativity, functional movement, and Restorative Yoga. + Follow Lizzie on IG: @ Lizzie.LasaterSupport the podcast on Patreon & SubstackOur Upcoming Programs:APRIL 300-HOUR PROGRAM Starved Rock Retreat: June 12-14, 2026Amalfi Coast Yoga Retreat: July 25 - August 1, 2026 Portugal Relax by the Sea Retreat: August 4-10, 2026Web: cayayogaschool.comIG: @thefunnythingaboutyoga | @cayayogaschool | @gianagambino | @bradshawwish Hosted on Acast.
