The Inner Practice-Stories of Healing from the Yoga mat into Life

Real people. Real stories. Real healing.
The Inner Practice Podcast shares heartfelt journeys from the yoga mat—authentic stories of presence, practice, and personal transformation. Through honest, emotional conversations, host Jackie Vandertuin explores how the healing power of yoga reaches far beyond physical poses, touching everyday life in meaningful and unexpected ways.

Each episode dives into real experiences of pain, anxiety, grief, resilience, and growth—revealing how yoga, mindfulness, and breathwork can become tools for grounding, strength, and hope. These are stories of becoming: stories that remind us that healing is possible, transformation is real, and no one walks this journey alone.

Join Jackie as she connects with guests who share powerful narratives of struggle turning into insight, suffering turning into strength, and everyday practice turning into deep personal awakening. Discover how lessons learned on the yoga mat translate into life—building resilience, emotional wellbeing, and a path back to the self.

May these stories remind you that hope exists. May they help you feel rooted, supported, and empowered to continue your own healing journey.
Yoga is more than movement—it’s a way of life that can change you forever.

Jackie Vandertuin, MSc, CAT(C), is a certified Athletic Therapist, professor, and student yoga therapist. Her personal journey with yoga began as simple exercise but quickly became a lifeline during a period of anxiety and depression. Yoga continues to be her anchor and her healing modality of choice.

S1 Trailer 23 Self Love: What is self love

July 05, 2026 • Jackie Vandertuin • Season 1 • Episode 23

0:00 | 0:49

What is self love? Why is it important and how does it show up for ourselves both on and off the mat? Finally, why is it important that we emulate self love for others.

In this trailer, Cailea Davis talks about where the idea for the self love podcast came from.

In April of 2026, Cailea Davis approached me and suggested this idea for a podcast. She had been sitting with this concept, particularly as the theme wove itself through all the previous podcasts. This episode builds on part 1

I'm so grateful to previous guests Cailea, Jasmine Deleon and Megan Pomarensky for sharing their thoughts and their personal stories and why self love is important.

This is part 1 of a our 2 part conversation.
