At her core, Gail Grossman is a guide, someone who helps others remember who they are through the lens of yoga, Taoist philosophy, and deep embodied presence. She’s not just teaching yoga, she’s living it.In this conversation, we explore how restorative practice, Katonah principles, and seasonal wisdom (Ayurveda + Taoist theory) help us reset the nervous system, heal from injury, and reclaim our capacity for rest. Gail also shares her non-negotiables for self-care, what she’s excited about in her teaching right now, and how she sees food as both medicine and energy.We also preview her upcoming October retreat in the Berkshires (which I’ll be cooking for!).✨ If you’ve ever wondered whether slowing down could actually be more productive than pushing harder, this conversation is for you.Connect with GailInstagram: @yogamomWebsite: gailgrossman.yogaBook: Restorative Yoga for LifeWork with VeronicaJoin the Metabolic Reset Community: veronicawolffcasey.com/mrcInstagram: @theveronicawolffcaseyWebsite: veronicawolffcasey.comChapters00:00 Injuries as teachers: “There’s a reason”00:43 Intro: who Gail is & what we’ll cover02:16 Seasonal vibes & fall energy02:57 Why Gail calls herself an “educator and guide”05:07 From Pilates to yoga: Gail’s first class06:03 Childhood TM meditation & flexibility lessons07:29 Teaching kids yoga in the early 2000s08:44 Herniated disc & sciatica that shifted her practice10:29 “Don’t pig out on the prana” (Scott Blossom wisdom)11:23 Restorative becomes her niche (with a little push)12:40 Studying with Judith Hanson Lasater & writing her book14:22 What restorative really does for the nervous system16:24 Katonah restorative: re-formation & chemical shifts18:04 Seasonal alchemy: Ayurveda & TCM woven together19:43 Why people underestimate restorative yoga21:09 The antidote for Pitta/type-A personalities23:15 Gail’s self-care non-negotiables (yoga, journaling, sauna, cold)25:50 Acupuncture, massage & food as medicine26:12 Advice for beginners: start small, drop perfectionism28:11 Bed yoga, airport yoga, and adapting practice anywhere29:08 What’s lighting Gail up right now (new studio, retreat, festival)31:36 Retreat preview: taking the experience home33:27 Delve Deck Q: “What does everyone love that you don’t?” (Halva!)34:44 Signature question: what food has taught Gail35:13 Where to find Gail online36:23 Outro + invitation to the Metabolic Reset Community
