Showing up in Service to Others and Truly Living your Yoga on and off the Mat with Tammy Sands

In this episode I sit down with Tammy Sands a Professional
Practitioner of Mind, Movement & Advocacy.   Tammy is
the Founder of Lightness of Being, she strives to bridge the gap
between conventional and holistic medicine, and provide agency
for the equality and empowerment of all living entities. 
 


Tammy starts this conversation with her personal journey through
yoga that began over 20 years ago.  Tammy’s journey brought
her to teaching in Denmark before the wave of popularity that
exists surrounding Yoga today.  Tammy shares her insights on
the difference in cultures around the world and their
relationship to yoga.  She also touches on the importance of
trusting the process versus expectations. 


We explore the shadow self and the importance of having awareness
to all parts of yourself.  Tammy specifically touches upon
how she is able to take people into their shadow self without
inducing further trauma or harm.  Tammy deeply shares her
personal journey into her own shadow self and what it has taught
her about herself.   She highlights the importance of
connectedness that we all crave and how yoga is the work we do
not only on the mat but off the mat as well.  The deeper
importance of showing up in the world to serve others in whatever
way we are able. 


Together we explore the teacher training structure as well as the
financial success and competition that exists in the industry.
  Exploring certifications and knowledge versus experience
in a capitalistic world. 


Tammy leaves us with her personal untapped power that she offers
through her seeds meditation as well as a collective reminder to
show up in the world as your best self.   We are left
exploring the collective question of what is needed to improve
the industry so that as many people as possible can receive help
and continue to show up in service to all. 


Tammy’s work is research based and draws from scientific
principles while simultaneously being rooted in universal
practices.  She can be found through her website:
