Some lessons change you forever — and yoga has given us more than we can count.

After 30 years of practice, these are the teachings we still lean on every day — on and off the mat. In this episode of Yogaland, we share the timeless yoga lessons that have shaped our lives, improved our relationships, and transformed the way we move through the world.

00:00 Why enduring lessons matter after decades of practice

01:34 Movement as a tool for emotional regulation

10:10 Self-regulation, steadiness & resilience in daily life

13:35 Learning to be comfortable with discomfort

18:22 Self-study & curiosity over memorization

23:47 Practicing self-compassion on (and off) the mat

29:31 Empathy, compassion & understanding the human condition

40:17 Building better coping skills & mental flexibility
