Episode 05’s conversation is with our friend Kaysie Markwardt. In 2017, Kaysie, who is a yoga teacher and reiki practitioner, started a program teaching yoga nidra to inmates at two California prisons, Folsom Prison and CSP Sac. She shares with us intimate details of her life story and how working through her own trauma led to a path of healing through breathwork, yoga nidra, and reiki.
We discuss the ethics of practices that bring you into presence and acceptance rather than methods that promote escapism - and how that relates to the "conspirituality" we're seeing in 2020/2021. We close out by discussing our frustrations with the "BLM conspiracy" argument and she lays out some hard data on race statistics in the prison population.
