Why don't you have a seat and stay awhile? If you think meditating is boring, hard, pointless, or too time consuming, this episode is for you!

This week, Jason and I discuss everything meditation. We unpack why it's important for yoga students to meditate. Plus, we'll give some practical tips for to start if you're new to the practice (or start again if not very consistent). We promise, you'll be glad you did!

PS: Jason just launched a program on yogaglo called, "I Don't Meditate." It's six classes and we think it will convert even the biggest meditation skeptics. You can find it here: http://bit.ly/meditate_with_jason

Highlights from this episode:

* The difference between a person's identity and their habits + how to unravel those to make meditating seem more possible

* Some of the common fears (and excuses!) that keep people from meditating

* Why meditation is an important part of a well-rounded yoga practice and if there's anyone who shouldn't meditate

* Jason's approach to teaching seated meditation and how it's similar to how he teaches asanas

* Plus, we talk about our personal meditation practice, who we've studied with, and how it's helped us
