• 0:33
  SPEAKER_01: Welcome to Diva's A Care Network.
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_01: I am Joyce Denning, and I will be your host for this invigorating, robust lifestyle show.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_01: I want to thank each one of our listeners that have tuned in live today and the ones that will be listening to the recording on the podcast.

  SPEAKER_01: Thank you so much for having me.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_03: Absolutely.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_03: And thank you, Joy, so much for having me back.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_03: I am honored, as always, to be a part of Robust Lifestyles and even more excited to speak a bit about my yoga practice and Heirs Above Yoga, how I came up with the name, what it means, etc.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, oh, Gia, I am so excited to have you back on Robust Lifestyle Show.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_01: And yes, I am excited to hear all about Heirs Above Yoga, what exactly that means, and how you came up with that name, because I'm like, Heirs Above Yoga.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, there's got to be a meaning about this name.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_01: So I am as intrigued as the listeners to hear all about it.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_01: So I will just let you start with where you would like to share with the listeners about maybe how you came up with this name.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_03: I would absolutely love to.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_03: So as you and I are both what I will call horsey ladies, affectionately, there is a dressage term called airs above the ground.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_03: And the short version is that it represents any manner of equine movements where all four of the horse's feet are hovering above the ground.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_03: And we could get very deep into it, but I will just leave it at that.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_03: And my very first private client as a yoga instructor, well before I had the name happen to be a dressage writer.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_03: One of my favorite people and someone who was very inspirational to me.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_03: And because of that, when I started toying with names for the business, I liked a couple things about heirs above.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_03: One, I think that if you're an equestrian, you may have a gentle sense that you've heard that before.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_03: And two, if you're not, it kind of gives you an idea of what I hope yoga does for you.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_03: just in the essence of the practice, which is to rise you above the ground, rise you above the day, rise you above all of the dust that tends to drag you down.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_03: So for me, it was kind of a multi-pronged approach, if that makes sense.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_01: Oh.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, I love that.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, what a great way to describe how you came about that.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_01: And it sounds, it came through you being with the horses.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_01: and through a coach that you had.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_01: And that is the best way to come up with a name because what a meaning that holds behind it for you personally in the ways that you have described what Heirs Above Yoga means.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, that is beautiful.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_01: Well, have you always had this love for horses and yoga or Or was there some moment in your life that you were like, wow, this is what I want to do and the horses have been a part of my life?
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_01: Or how did all that transpire to you?
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_03: So I was very, very blessed as a child.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_03: I grew up in horse farm country in New Jersey.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_03: And I...
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_03: Remember, we had a very small farm and we had some horses boarded there.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_03: I remember the horse's name was Favorite because it's a perfect name for a horse.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_03: And I think I was four years old and it was kind of the first time I rode a horse and the first time I unceremoniously fell off the horse.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_03: But the owner said, oh, let's just plop her up there.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_03: And so they put me up.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_03: I don't think, and PSA, always wear a helmet.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_03: But I didn't have a helmet on because it was very impromptu.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_03: My parents were there with the horse owner.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_03: And they kind of just sat me on the horse's back.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_03: And she had this beautiful German shepherd, the woman that was boarding with us.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_03: And we had a hedgerow.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_03: And as the horse is grazing and I'm sitting up there and my parents are chatting with this woman who boarded with us, Her dog comes flying out of the hedgerow, spooked the horse, and I fell right off the horse, right on my back, and winded myself for the very first time at four years old.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_03: And I think I cried, obviously, as any four-year-old would.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_03: And then as soon as I caught my breath, I said, again.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_03: So at that point, I'm fairly certain my parents knew they were in a whole heap of trouble.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_03: And I think they made me wait until I was five to start taking proper lessons, helmets, stirrups, saddles, all included.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, I love it.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_01: I love how you said once you caught your breath again.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_01: The bond had been made between you and the horse for permanently.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_01: And it didn't matter what happened or what went wrong or what went right.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_01: You were hooked.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_03: I say all the time, it's either in your blood or it's not when it comes to horses.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_03: Some people are very frightened or some people are just...
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_03: They don't have that connection to it.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_03: For me, you know, as soon as I was anywhere near a horse, that was it for me.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_03: I was hooked.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_01: You were lost.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_01: You were lost in the moment because all you could see was the horse and being with the horse.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_01: And, oh, how I can understand that.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, that is beautiful.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_01: Well, as you said, then you started– At five years old, then started taking the riding lessons and being with the horses.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_01: Did you do yoga as you were growing up also, or was this something that came into your life later?
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_03: So the yoga aspect definitely came into my life later, although I wish I had been more exposed to it because I think it would have...
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_03: I think it's beneficial for everyone.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_03: The younger you can begin, the better off you will be for so many reasons.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_03: But for me, I started gently dabbling in yoga during college, taking a couple of classes here and there.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_03: It wasn't really a big part of my life.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_03: I did enjoy it, but I certainly didn't understand the depths of it at that point.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_03: When my mother passed, I was 24 years old, and I know you and I have spoken about that at length previously, but that was when I really started to develop a practice.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_03: That was when I started to see the results, not only physically, but mentally and emotionally coming into the mindfulness of the practice.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_03: That sometimes, and I'm a big proponent of going to yoga classes, but sometimes for me, the mindfulness, the getting in touch with your own body is something that comes from your private practice, from your own quiet space that you can set up in your house or whatever.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_03: wherever you have alone time, maybe even in your barn if you're blessed enough to have one, where you can really tune into yourself.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_03: And sometimes being in a class with other people, it's a very different energy, and it's a beautiful energy, and I encourage it.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_03: But for me, and through going through what I was with my mother, losing her, et cetera, that tuning in and being able to hear yourself your body communicate to you, I think comes from a certain place of stillness, which is harder to capture when you're taking classes.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, my.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_01: That is incredible how really through your mother's passing is what got you involved in the yoga and got you to come in touch with your own body and tune in to yourself and And I agree with you.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_01: It's in the stillness that you can come into that.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_01: At least it is for me because when you're surrounded with a lot of people and there's noise and different things going on, sometimes it's harder.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_01: But when you come into the stillness, you can really hear it.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_01: And nature is a way that I can really...
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_01: Accomplish that.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_01: Tune into your own body.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_01: And it is just so touching that it came to you.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_01: Yoga kind of came to you through your mother's passing.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_01: Were you kind of looking for something to help you to deal with the grief?
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_01: and the loss, and do you feel that yoga was an answer that helped you with this?
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, absolutely.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_03: But I will also say that I may have chose some other things that were less beneficial physically, mentally, and emotionally.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_03: I was adrift.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_03: I was very lost.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_03: It felt like the anchor of my existence was suddenly gone.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_03: There were other things going on in my life.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_03: I had left the job and the apartment that I had been living in.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_03: I had moved back home into the house with my family to help take care of my mother's mother who had dementia.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_03: So I was left with more time on my hands than I knew what to do with and trying to find a way to...
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_03: to balance out what could have been a darker trajectory that I would have taken.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_03: So I started working out.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_03: I started going to the gym.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_03: I started practicing yoga and trying to focus on the physical and being able to ground myself that way.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_03: So I think one of the biggest things that yoga can do for you is to focus not only bring you into your body, which is– yoga means union, right?
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_03: So it literally is the union of the mind, body, and spirit.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_03: That's what, in essence, it's all about.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_03: But I find that it's also able to ground you, to give you something– within yourself to hold on to where I think a lot of times especially as we're growing up and when we're in college and high school and we're developing very tumultuous time and we tend to seek the external and for me I definitely was guilty of that and so I think yoga gave me the only true grounding that I found and that was positive, that was healing, and that kind of always brings you back to that present moment and gives you something within yourself, which at the end of the day, spoiler alert, all you really have is yourself, your body, your own intuition, and your own mind.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_03: We can always seek the external, but all of the answers I believe that we look for lie within.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_03: And so that's the one thing I'll say that I'm grateful for.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_03: There are others, but that's the main thing that I'm grateful for, having gone through that, is at 24, 25, I started to tune into that, and I think that some people, you know, even in the middle and older ages, haven't found that and still seek the external, whether it be validation or whether it be...
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, that was so
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_01: beautifully said.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_01: I loved all of that because it brought you into the healing.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_01: It brought you into the present moment.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_01: And the healing comes from within.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_01: Like you said, it helped you to find the answers that were laying within yourself other than externally trying to find validation like a lot of people do or approval from someone else or something.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_01: Where it's right in your heart.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_01: It's laying right inside of you if you just...
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_01: Take that time and go within and find those answers.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, that was beautiful.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_01: And I loved how you said what yoga means.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_01: It's the union of mind, body, and spirit and bringing all of that together.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_01: And like you did, you found the answers within yourself.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_01: That was beautiful.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_01: And it helped you to ground to be able to do that because I truly believe you have to ground yourself and find yourself to go within and go into your heart and find out what your heart is trying to tell you.
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_01: And that's where the answers lay.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, that was beautiful and touching.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_01: I love that.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you, Joy.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_01: So, so beautiful.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_01: Well, The other thing, and with yoga, we've talked now kind of how it helps with the spiritual side, with the mind side.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_01: Is yoga good on the physical side, where if someone is having maybe some physical issues they're dealing with, do you have clients that it has helped in that way as much as it helped you in the spiritual side?
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_01: and the emotional side?
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_03: So I had a very touching moment with a client where she was brand new to yoga.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_03: And again, I predominantly work with private clients because the way that I teach, the way that yoga has helped me heal from my own physical injuries ironically brought on by falling off of horses, which is why a lot of my clients are equestrians, because what goes up must come down at some point, inevitably.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_03: But I did have a client who I was working with, very physically active, and I remember and she was a friend of mine as well, and so we were chatting as we were working through it, and I remember we We did a twist, and she just paused for a second, and I was trying to explain to her what her body was doing, and she just started to well, and she said, this is what I've been missing.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_03: This is the missing piece.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_03: And it was very touching for me because if I can experience that moment with a client where they get it, Internally, they understand that you are constantly taken out of your body every day, all the time.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_03: We live our lives in our heads, 90% of people, maybe give or take.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_03: And to be able to quiet the mind, as we mentioned, and to be able to move very slowly to...
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_03: Feel every movement and every breath and to make sure that not only are you in the present moment, but that you are paying attention to all the nuances that even the most basic of poses is able to awaken.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_03: It can be very life-changing.
• 17:42
  SPEAKER_03: I always talk about balance poses being some of my favorites for the very simple reason, and I'll use one more story because it was very funny.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_03: If you work with any farriers, as I'm sure you do, if you have horses, you know farriers, and they are those that put shoes on and take shoes off our horses.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_03: And if your horses don't have feet, then they're not rideable.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_03: So they're very, very important and important.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_03: Bless all the farriers.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_03: But some of them can tend to be gentlemen of a certain age that are a little bit rough around the edges.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_03: One of my favorites, we always had lovely banter, and I would always say, you know, farriers are perfect yoga clients because they put their bodies in such drafts.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_03: They're always bent over.
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_03: They're not bent over properly.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_03: They're dealing with horses' legs.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_03: They're heavy.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_03: They're hard workers.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_03: They're laborers.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_03: And I said to him, I said, okay, so what I'd like for you to do for me is just stand on one foot.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_03: And he looked at me as though I had eight heads.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_03: And I said, please, just stand on one foot.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_03: And he did.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_03: And I said, and I looked at him, and I kind of said, I gave instructions, you know, I want you to try to engage your core, lift up and in, breathe, keep your eyes on a focus point, all the little things that we say as yoga instructors.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_03: And as soon as I, quote, unquote, released him from the pose and said, okay, put your foot down, he looked at me and I said, so were you thinking about anything else?
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_03: And he was like, no, I was trying not to fall down.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_03: And I said, exactly.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_03: That's it.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_03: When you're practicing yoga, actually in the practice, and balance poses kind of drive that point home, there is– you can't be thinking about anything else.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_03: You're too in yourself now.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_03: For him, trying not to fall over, and that's what's great about balance, but you're too engaged in the present moment in your body, feeling what your body is going through to be worried about your shopping list, to be worried about the bill that you have to pay, to be worried about making dinner, to be worried about the fact that you have to walk your dogs or pick up your kids.
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_03: Whatever it is, in those moments when it's you with yourself and your body, That's all that it is, and that allows you to truly feel who you are and where you are.
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_03: And I think that's a very, very intimate thing, and I'm thrilled when I can share that with my clients.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, that was a great example to tell because that– That is so true.
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_01: He was so focused on just balancing on that one foot that all the other thoughts went out of his mind.
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_01: He was into his body thinking, okay, I've got to stand on this one foot, not fall over, and just balance.
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_01: What a great example and how neat that is.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_01: And balance, to me, balance, that is so critical with balance.
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_01: The equestrians with the riding of the horses and even the being around them, knowing your balance and being aware of where you are with them and everything, I can see where you work with a lot of equestrians on helping them and how yoga can come into play on helping them to improve their riding abilities because they're improving their balance too.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_01: Is that...
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_01: kind of an example, too, that goes back to a rider to help them with their balance?
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_03: Absolutely.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_03: So balance is one of the most important things when you're riding and being aware of your body in space, which once you start to practice yoga, you can become painfully aware of how little you're aware of your body in space.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_03: A lot of teachers don't like to utilize mirrors, but I find them very, very useful because you think you look like the image in your mind.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_03: And a lot of times, I'm not.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_03: And that's very similar for us as equestrians.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_03: We think we might look like that fancy show jumper or that Olympic dressage athlete.
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_03: And then we trot by the mirror and, oh, wait, no, we do not.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_03: So it's a humbling experience.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_03: But balance is one of the things.
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_03: And a lot of times with equestrians, and I will admit that I am the same way, we can be very type A.
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_03: So I will say that a lot of myself, clients that I know, a lot of people that I know favor vinyasa yoga because it is quicker.
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_03: It is more heat building.
• 22:25
  SPEAKER_03: It is strengthening.
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_03: You still...
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_03: get the benefits of flexibility, but it is a predominantly, I'll call it a progressive yoga that a lot of people get the quote unquote workout from.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_03: And while you can definitely get a lot of mindfulness from that practice, and it's very desirable for people who may be type A, I find that Most of the benefit for equestrians, when I can get them to that place, is the breath and is being in their own body.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_03: Because when you're in your own body, you can then feel the horse's body more thoroughly.
• 23:16
  SPEAKER_03: And I find that breathing, too.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_03: I remember doing a video...
• 23:21
  SPEAKER_03: a couple years back where I was talking about doing a walking meditation while you warm up your horse and trying to breathe with your horse.
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_03: And that's not an easy thing to do, maybe easier if you're bareback, but trying to really tune into the energy of your horse because that is your partner, that is the being that's going to bail you out, save you, and who you have to trust because it has to come from them as much as it comes from us.
• 23:55
  SPEAKER_03: So we offer the guidance, but they are the ones with their feet on the ground.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_03: So we need to listen to them and treat them as partners.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_03: And I know many very accomplished riders do that, but there are also those that think of or get stuck in the competition mode more.
• 24:13
  SPEAKER_03: So I truly believe that the balance is there.
• 24:16
  SPEAKER_03: A lot of riders are very strong, so while they may not need the strengthening aspect, there's nothing that's going to– there's only benefit to be gained from that.
• 24:26
  SPEAKER_03: But the core strength balance and the breath, the mental attunement, the act of being in your own body.
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_03: Imagine if you can't even or you don't even understand or know how to be in your own body, how– in God's name, can you be in touch with the horse's body?
• 24:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 24:48
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, that is so very true.
• 24:50
  SPEAKER_01: If you have not found the way, if you're still in your mind and your brain and you have not found the way into your own body, how true, how can you connect with the horse's body and be in that, be that partner that's creating together with each other and trusting one another.
• 25:08
  SPEAKER_01: I love that.
• 25:09
