Episode 20: The Energy of Discipline + Rebellion with Juliet Loranger

Juliet is as real as they get. Her approach to yoga, and life, is honest, dedicated, funny and uniquely her own which is why I love hearing her perspective in this episode of the HYA podcast. 

What I truly admire about Juliet is she is a rule breaker just as much as she is a highly disciplined. She will never teach or do something just because “that’s they way its done” - she is always sure to feel it and believe it in her own body and mind before offering it to others. When exploring the concept of honoring ones aura, Juliet reveals that “energy” is not her area of expertise, which makes it that much more intriguing to hear her genuine observances of her own energy, emotions and needs as she navigates her day to day.  We also dive into what happens when we take our spiritual discipline too far, deeming it the “spiritual straight-jacket” - and how we can remain true to ourselves amidst our growth and practices. Remembering the need not only for discipline but for creativity, fun and a little rock n roll.

About Juliet: 

Recently someone asked me the question, "Why do you teach yoga?". The response fell effortlessly from my mouth, "I teach yoga because I practice yoga. Also because it is an interesting and informative process and I believe everyone should somehow keep connected with the process of being informed."

My personal practice of yoga is to establish a relationship with myself through process. To show up as myself in whatever that is and to nurture the components that lie in the traditions and philosophies of yoga. The classes I teach always invite participants to a place where they rejoice in what is, to educate about the fortifying qualities of alignment in postures combined with fluency of their breath. I look forward to sharing with others this discipline (yoga)  as well as the freedom and inquiry to transform.

200 hour certified Kripalu Yoga Instructor & 500 hour certified with Noah Mazé and is currently involved in an in-depth training with Noah to be a certified YogaMazé instructor. Philosophy teacher is Douglas Brooks.

I have been teaching for over 13 years. I have been a yoga studio owner for 10 years, currently, of the School of Yoga New Bedford & Good Yoga NB.

I don’t tend to refer to myself as an artist and a poet. I feel a far cry from both because my commitment to those expressive ventures is not full swing. Yet being creative and communicating are at my essence. I’m drawn to the edges of culture, the feelings of boredom in chaos, and I’m fascinated with the faces of people.

The process of teaching yoga (to me) is a way to poetically weave aspects of living in the world and expanding understandings of ourselves with the human body/breath. Fuck yeah.
