In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

#117 For the Love of Vinyasa Yoga (60min) 1:06:42

4 года назад1:06:42

1:06:42

If you love Vinyasa Yoga - this class is for you. Vinyasa Yoga - meaning the yoga of consciously placing mind, breath and body consciously together - as one - in space-time. "The yoga of being" ... The idea behind the practice is simple, but it does take practice to "perfect". 1. Set an elevated intent to direct you "beyond mind" 2. Dristhi - focused gaze - concentrates the mind (dharana in sanskrit) 3. Ujjayi pranayama - concentrates and directs energetic life force. 4. Asana - poses - and the transitions between poses are used to create a steady flow in the direction of the intent. 5. Bhanda - locks - are used to "fuse/merge" the mind-body system together as ONE - or yoga. As a yoga, all you need to do is follow the above steps, success is guaranteed, but it does take time, in my case many years. Namaste. (suitable for all levels of yogi). --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bruceyogi/message…

#112 Jivamukti Yoga - An Hour of Easyness (60min) 58:54

4 года назад58:54

58:54

Yoga of Action requires us to act consciously so as to grow spiritually. - No action is not an option, as there can be no growth. - Acting in a way that causes dis-ease, or dis-harmony causes regression. - Acting with equanimity or balanced "ease-iness" (as I sometimes call it) sows the seeds for steady spiritual growth. From the Bhagavad Gita (chapter 3), Krishna describes the actions that are appropriate for such growth; for example, acting without personal gain will free you your mind from the results of the action. Hence a dedication for your actions in a Yoga Class. Class Tips: - - Offer your actions up for the benefit of another. - Practice without an idea of success vs failure, enjoyment vs suffering, or good vs bad, etc. Instead practice each pose and take each breath with a steady, yet open "ease-iness." - Check in at the end of the class, and during your day, and see what the outcome is. Namaste. (a class suitable for all levels of yogi) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bruceyogi/message…

#111 Jivamukti Yoga - Different Dimensions (60min) 56:45

4 года назад56:45

56:45

"Our greatest obstacles to practicing yoga are our prejudices based on our preferences." ~ from Sri Bramhananda Saraswati's commentary on Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. If we can learn to be open and accepting to changes and differences around us, as experienced within us, we open ourselves up to non-attachment, a delicate balance of life which leads us to yoga. By practicing Different Dimensions , you may experience the Push and Pull of Prejudice and Preference . Be aware, relax, be open and accepting to whatever, as it arises, how it arises, let it come, but let it go. This class (hopefully) will help you with your practice (abhyasa in sanskrit) of non-attachment (vairagya in sanskrit). Namaste. (a more challenging class, but open to all yogis, so long as you practice with self-compassion). --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bruceyogi/message…

#107 Jivamukti Yoga Class 7 - Backbending - in 60 min 1:00:05

4 года назад1:00:05

1:00:05

This is a shortened (perhaps easier) version of the 90 minute Jivamukti Yoga classic, Class 7 – BackBending. This compact 60 min class leads you through opening postures that prepare your body to safely experience back-bending, so you can proceed to the deeper back-bends and open your heart with enthusiasm and confidence. It is a simplified version of Jivamukti Yoga Class 7, leaving out some of the very challenging poses of the full class (e.g. hanumanasana, kapotasana), thus making this class a little more accessible to the average yogi. Even if you are relatively new to yoga, you will still be able explore the fundamentals of back-bending in this Vinyasa Flow in a safe way, using the alternative poses that are suggested to you. Namaste. (a challenging class, open to yogis with a regular practice, but not for beginners level) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bruceyogi/message…
