Well, let’s get him outfitted in authentic Rams style. With this NFL Los Angeles Rams Uniform Costume! Okay, okay, we get it. He’s a little young to start out in the league for real.

Modeled after what the pros wear on the field, it has all the gear for him to get a taste of the NFL action. And give it just a few years. You never know, he might just grow up to play for the Rams someday!Product DetailsThis LA Ram Uniform Costume is NFL officially licensed from Franklin Sports.

We’re fans, too, after all! Start him out right with this Rams costume, and he’ll be ready for the fun. We carry costumes from all the best teams in the league, too, so he can even face off against his siblings or friends for a great group theme!

There’s no one right way to be well. Just as there’s a type of yoga for everybody and every body, there’s a wellness personality for you. Do you love to workout until your legs are jelly?

By selecting a curated schedule, you can rest assured that you’ll go home inspired and encouraged that your version of wellness helps you be the strongest version of yourself.
Don’t feel trapped, though—one of the most exciting things about Wellspring is the opportunity to discover sides of wellness you may otherwise miss. Pick and choose classes to try on your Biohack Buff, even if you’re hands-down a Clean Beauty Connoisseur. Maybe you’re a Fitness Junkie looking to become a Conscious Entrepreneur, or a Weekend Wellness Warrior looking to step it up into Mindfulness Maven: We’ve got you covered.

We’re committed to help you truly #ExperienceWell, in whatever capacity that means that means for you.
For tickets and more information, click here. Wellness industry professional discounts and scholarships available!
Biohack Buff
Tumblr media
Click through to see the Biohack Buff track!
You don’t wait in line at the bank to deposit a check when you can do so from your phone, and you probably don’t chow down on burgers without considering a superfood replacement. Life hacks are real, and DIY is so “in” it’s no longer trendy—it’s your norm. Why would your health be any different? Biohacking is, very simply, the use of innovative ways to catalyze your health, and you’re a buff when it comes to creative scientific practices and mindful routines to maximize your wellbeing. Let Wellspring be your chance to get your health down to a science. Featured guides to look for: Dave Asprey, Jamie Wheal, Dr. Robin Berzin, Max Lugavere
Clean Beauty Connoisseur
Tumblr media
Click through to see the Clean Beauty Connoisseur track!
Maybe she’s born with it… Maybe it’s charcoal/botanical serum/silk extracts. You eat well and keep your house as non-toxic as possible, and you’re well aware that as your body’s largest organ, your skin deserves the same treatment. It’s an investment in the future; you know that taking care of your body with clean beauty products is just as as important as not smoking and choosing organic. You don’t need to have regularly-scheduled V-steams to be a clean beauty connoisseur, though—do you love cucumber masks and coconut oil? Yeah, we do too. Featured guides to look for: Elle Macpherson, Alicia Silverstone, Jen Auerbach
Conscious Entrepreneur
Tumblr media
Click through to see the Conscious Entrepreneur track!
Your idea of a great time is stimulating conversation with like-minded people who are determined to change the world. While cocktail hours are great, you’d rather get your hands dirty (clean?) by digging into the work itself. Your business—or idea for a business—will not only be your ticket to success, but something the planet would consider success as well. You understand our life experience is only as awesome as we make it, and you’re committed to making your life matter to the fullest. Pro-tip: You don’t need to own a business to be a Conscious Entrepreneur. Maybe it’s about bringing the lessons back to the company you work for. Be the change! Featured guides to look for: Kyle Cease, Chip Conley, Roy Spence, Simon Mainwaring, Zane Wilemon
Fitness Junkie
Tumblr media
Click through to see the Fitness Junkie track!
Sweating is a religion for you. There’s nothing like the pumping of blood through your veins to make you feel alive, and you’ve done it all or want to try: Cycling, hiking, running, climbing, yoga, HIIT, barre… There isn’t a fitness modality you’ve heard of that didn’t pique your interest. While your friends are lolling in bed on Saturday morning, your idea of a good time is to hit the pavement, the studio, or the machines and let the good times roll down your neck. Maybe you’re a recent convert, and just discovering the joys of hard work. Let Wellspring be the place to try all the things you’ve been meaning to. Featured guides to look for: Jacy Cunningham, Mike Aidala + Chelsey Korus
Mindfulness Maven
Tumblr media
Click through to see the Mindfulness Maven track!
Your life is all about wellness—and you’re proud to be an active member of the community, both online and IRL. Maybe you spread wellness wisdom via robust social accounts, or maybe you’re more behind the scenes; creating events, workshops, or products that are helping to bring mindfulness to the masses. You’re passionate about health, and understand that it’s a multifaceted journey that means something different to everyone. You’re pretty sure that you’ve created routines that work for you, and you love sharing them and learning other ways to live well. Rubbing elbows with other mavens feeds you—there’s room enough for all of us, after all. Featured guides to look for: Elena Brower, Glennon Doyle, Sally Kohn, Marc Holzman, Dr. Chelsea Jackson Roberts
Wellness Weekend Warrior
Tumblr media
Click through to see the Wellness Weekend Warrior track!
Work hard, play hard is your mantra—particularly when the lines of work and play are blurred. You’re all about crushing the professional game; you know that you’re at your most well when you’re feeling creatively and intellectually satisfied. That mindset carries over into the ways you choose to chill as well. Who says having a great time has to be unhealthy, or derail that creative and professional satisfaction? You know that you’ve earned a little self-care and self-love when the workweek is over, and if you’re really lucky, that your weekend will bolster your profesh life as well. Featured guides to look for: Eoin Finn, Nadia Bolz-Weber, Natalie Kuhn, Kerri Kelly, Keith Mitchell

Leading 10 Most Comfy Headphones On the planet
1. Oppo PM-3
Tumblr media
The Oppo PM-3's are a truly stunning set of headphones. Make no mistake, we have actually reviewed a great deal of earphones in the last One Decade yet none have we become more keen on than the PM-3.
They're just as comfy being linkeded into a headphone amp in your home as they are commuting through the stress of a large city, as well as they stand head as well as shoulders above competing products from larger brand names. We truly can not suggest them highly sufficient, they're just amazing.
2. Philips Fidelio X2.
Tumblr media
The Philips Fidelio X2's are an exceptional set of earphones supplying costs convenience and also construct quality with a noise that measures up to even the most vaunted audiophile coulds.
3. Beyerdynamic DT 1770 Pro.
Tumblr media
Beautifully crafted soundscapeSleek designThey're a bit cumbersome. The Beyerdynamic DT 1770 Pros are a stunning pair of headphones. Are they costly? To some no, to most yes; but also for the large listening experience they deliver you 'd be tough pressed to take them off after placing them on, even utilizing them with portable HRA gamers and also cellphones.
That said, they really do press the limits of just what you can do with a vibrant vehicle driver. All appreciation to Beyerdynamic for creating such a wonderful item.
4. Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7.
Tumblr media
These over-ear headphones bring both efficiency as well as value.
Sophisticated designIncludes great deals of goodiesIncredible audio performanceNo inline quantity control. It can be a costly journey if you're looking for a collection of headphones that seem like they look. If great noise and sharp develop quality are priorities, that's why Audio-Technica's MSR7 are a view (as well as sound) to look at.
These wired headphones retail for $250 (₤ 199, AU$ 349), which isn't really economical, however we believe you'll love these. Why? Off, the noise is incredibly healthy, pressing out crisp highs and deep lows without distortion. Second, the develop materials and included rewards help to balance out the price.
5. Sony MDR-ZX770BT.
Tumblr media
Comfortable fitFantastic battery lifeCramped soundstageLight on bass. Occasionally, sacrifice isn't really essential. Sony's wizards stuffed a glut of features, awesome style and also a resilient battery right into the MDR-ZX770BT, making this inexpensive collection of cordless headphones a must-buy.
6. Sennheiser Momentum Wireless.
Tumblr media
Best-in-class soundEverlasting battery lifeFinicky multi-function buttonTerribly costly.
These no-holds-barred cordless earphones are oozing with positive qualities, but for lots of, they're almost prohibitively expensive. However, if you're an audio fan that can save the expense, do not be reluctant on this comfortable, hard-working collection of earphones that will likely last for many years.
Check out the complete evaluation: Sennheiser Energy Wireless.
7. Bose QuietComfort 35.
Tumblr media
Bose cut the cords off its front runner coulds with wonderful success.
Broad and clear soundstageAmazing sound cancellationActive EQ an obtained tasteBoring looks. Bose has actually ultimately brought its great noise-cancelling technology to a set of wireless earphones as well as it's done so without any of the traditional drawbacks of wireless headphones. They sound wonderful, and their battery life is long enough for almost the longest of trips.
At $349.95 (₤ 289.95/ AU pricing tbc) the QC35s rest strongly at the costs end of the range, however if you desire the very best noise-cancelling earphones available right now then you can not get any type of much better.
8. Sony MDR-1000X.
Tumblr media
Noise-cancelling headphones that care about Hi-Res Sound.
Quick Focus modeNoise cancellationLengthy battery lifeFinicky Ambient Noise mode. The MDR-1000X are absolutely the closest rival to Bose's QuietComfort series I've ever had the satisfaction of screening. Some premium codecs (LDAC, AAC and aptX) aid the 1000X noise also better compared to the QC35s, but eventually the sound canceling is a little bit less efficient in Sony's pair of canisters.
Just what need to own your decision on whether to get the MDR-1000X is your music player-- if you're a Sony Xperia proprietor, you would certainly be hard-pressed to locate a set of headphones that seem like these with sound canceling technology built-in. Even if you're not, Sony's wares are still worth a listen-- and possibly a purchase-- if you typically aren't too put out by its $400 (₤ 330 or AU$ 700) price.
9. Status Sound CB-1.
Tumblr media
Reduced priceComfortableMuddying warmthBulky, with mixed construct high quality. Over-ear earphones are typically one of the most costly headphones available, however you don't have to invest a massive quantity of loan to get a set of headphones that are comfortable enough to utilize for hrs in your personal residence.
The Standing Audio CB-1 are the perfect instance of this. They're large, so you will not want to use them on the bus, but the flip side of this is that they're an incredibly comfy set of headphones.
Some compromises have been made to obtain to this price factor. There are definitely far better appearing earphones on this list, and also the build high quality of the CB-1s isn't incredible, but if you're looking for a set of budget plan over-ear headphones after that the CB-1s are a great purchase for the rate.
10. Denon AH-MM400.
Tumblr media
Great all-round sound experienceWell-built, properly designed chassisThe walnut surface will be divisive. Denon's AH-MM400 headphones actually excite. They do simply miss out compared to the more costly Oppo PM-3 earphones in a straight battle on splitting up as well as total audio information, yet at this rarified end of the audio market the differences are minimal; you 'd need to listen hard to discern where the planar magnetic vehicle drivers of the Oppos pull ahead of the basic dynamic chauffeurs in the MM400s.
Yet that does not stop the MM400s from being a lovely set of headphones, with wonderful, all-natural noise as well as a heat of tone that easily justifies their cost.
We're continuously assessing brand-new over-ear headphones, yet allow us know if there is a set that you 'd like us to have a look at.

We all know that one of the best parts of traveling with your girlfriends isn’t always the actual event—it’s everything in between. It’s wandering around in your bathrobes and trying on clothes like you’re in a 90s movie starring Alicia Silverstone (who, btw, is also a Wellspring panelist). It’s staying up late and ordering veggie nachos for room service or getting up early and a poolside mediation sesh. It’s wandering around the hotel room and finding all the best spots for spontaneous photo sessions, partner poses, and shared inhales of total gratitude.
Tumblr media
You can eat all the things.
Traveling with your galpals is an excellent excuse to order one of everything off the menu. Palm Springs is a mecca of healthy food—and the treats we’re serving up at Wellspring are certainly no exception. Expect gourmet food trucks, snack samples from top brands, and offsite dinners. Whether or not your vegan, paleo, gluten-free, or strictly on a meat and carb diet, we’ll make sure you get your fill.
You can buy all the things.
Should we mention that Wellspring is also basically a shopping trip? Vendors include celebrated brands such as Spiritual Ganger, Inner Fire, and Thinx, among a handful of others, including some sweet jewelry options for those spur-of-the-moment friendship bracelets. Shop (mindfully) till you drop, yogis.
Tumblr media
Work hard, play hard.
Just like a Wanderlust Festival, Wellspring is a day-to-night event. That means fuel up with your Moringa and get moving. During the day you can expect fitness classes, meditation, bodywork, Ayurvedic treatments, restorative runs, podcast recordings, seminars, soundbaths, and pool parties—then transition into nighttime to dance the desert night away.
Enjoy a judgement free zone to try all the things.
Also like a Wanderlust Festival, Wellspring is totally judgement free. And you’re with your girlfriends, who will actually support you running a bit wild and trying new things. Curious to enter our CaniSpa, where we’re featuring the latest ventures in anxiety-quelling CBD products? We welcome you with relaxed and outstretched arms. Want to sport a pair of hot pink yoga pants with a matching crop top? Please do—and throw on some temporary tattoos while you’re at it! Traveling with your posse means feeling totally at ease to be who you want, whenever you want.
Network like a ladyboss.
We know it’s vacation—but that doesn’t mean you can’t sneak some business cards into your suitcase. Wellspring brings together wellness enthusiasts. So think a party at your yoga studio on steroids. With famous people. And snacks. If if the word “networking” makes you feel sort of yucky, lean into that. Be honest about it. Wellspring isn’t just about green juice and slow flows (though you can easily find both of those things), but more-so honest and authentic connection. 
Learn to love yourself as much as your girls do.
Your friends know you’re awesome, even when you don’t. Surrounding yourself with positive, self-lovin’ vibes can help remind you of all that you’re worth. Use your girls-only getaway as an opportunity to connect with yourself, and appreciate all that you have to offer. 
Tumblr media
Be inspired to create real change.
Like we said, Wellspring gathers the top names in the wellness industry. Many of these folks were once sitting in coffee shops or in their cars, mulling over the possibility of a dream that could maybe make a tiny difference. And then they went and did it! You can walk away with many things at Wellspring, but you’re guaranteed to walk away with a hefty dose of inspiration.
At the end of the day, Wellspring is about building connections to inspire a well-er world. The world needs conscious individuals now more than ever. Grab your girls, have fun, and be the change.
Not sure how you’ll get there? No fear. There are direct flights to Palm Springs from San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago, New York City, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, Calgary, Houston, Edmonton, and Winnepeg.

Want more from Nadia? Learn from her in person at Wellspring in Downtown Palm Springs this October, and learn what it means to #ExperienceWell. Tickets available now! 
Reverend Nadia Bolz-Weber says that she had her ass saved in a church basement, not a church sanctuary. Nadia grew up going to a traditional church in a conservative Christian denomination three times a week. As a teenager, she was troubled by what she felt were contradictory teachings and ended up leaving the church for a life of heavy drinking and drug use. Ten years later, she realized she needed to get clean, and started attending 12-step meetings. It was these meetings in church basements that Nadia credits for helping her to redefine and reestablish her relationship with God.
During these years, when Nadia’s nascent faith was beginning to reemerge as a driving force in her life, one of her good friends—also a recovering alcoholic and fellow stand-up comedian—lost his struggle with bipolar disorder and committed suicide. In the wake of his death, Nadia’s community turned to her (one of the only ones among them with a faith practice) to perform the funeral. As she looked out across the mourners, a motley crew of academics and queers and recovering alcoholics and comics, she became aware that this gathered crowd of misfits had no real home in which to hear this traditional message. They had no pastor. “Oh shit,” she realized. “I think that’s me.” She entered seminary shortly thereafter and was ordained in 2008.
Nadia’s upcoming book—Shameless: A Sexual Reformation—comes out early next year. For it, she’s asking women in her community to mail her their purity rings if they have them, which she says she’ll melt down and sculpt into a vagina and mail to Gloria Steinem upon completion. We sat down with Nadia to hear her take on Christianity, religion, sex, and shame. Watch to hear her take, and then read on below for more.
Wanderlust (WL): Let’s start right off the bat talking about this idea of sin. Is sin real?
Nadia Bolz-Weber (NW): I think a lot of people are very turned off by the term “sin” because of the way it’s been used against people, because it’s like somebody implying that you’re bad and immoral. If you really strive in your life to be a good person, the last thing you want is someone being like, “You’re horrible and you should feel bad about it.” But, there’s an author named Francis Spufford and in his book Unapologetic, he redefines, instead of using the word “sin,” he uses this term “the human propensity to fuck things up.” And then you’re like, “Oh, I definitely have that.” Right? Like, there’s something in me that no matter what, I’m gonna end up hurting people, or I’m gonna end up having selfish motives about something that I pawn off as being virtuous motives for something.
WL: Is organized religion a symbol system that causes people this kind of pain or trauma that they then need to reconcile?
NW: I think religion, especially when it comes to messages around our sexuality, causes a really particular type of harm in us. Now, the culture, the broader culture, also has some very damaging messages. There’s the commodification of sex. You can “know” how worthy you are of desire according to how close you are to a body ideal. Once you’re too old, or too fat, or too plain, you’re no longer worthy of sexual desire and so there are these damaging messages that society gives us around the commodification of sex. 
I sort of hesitate to indulge in the sin of false equivalency though because messages from religion, those go down to our created place, our source code. Those seep into us in a very deep level and the difference is that the society has … our society has never said that the creator of the universe is disgusted by my cellulite. Do you know what I mean? So, the religious messages are saying, “This is God. God feels this way about you as a sexual being.” And that can be pernicious in a very particular way.
WL: Let’s talk about your experience with sex then growing up. When was the first time that you were talked to about sex? When was the first time that you were able to sort of explore that with yourself?
NW: My mother, bless her, who is an amazing woman, who I have a great deal of respect for, you know, handed me a Christian sex-ed book and was like, “Let me know if you have questions.” The basic message is that, men are supposed to be the leaders and they’re supposed to have this competency in the world and what the real focus for girls is trying to be as pretty as possible and quiet as possible so that you can attract them so that they can take care of you and you can have babies.
WL: How did we get there? I mean, in the Bible, especially the New Testament, Jesus is hanging out with prostitutes. How did we get to this point where all of a sudden, women were the quiet demure and men were superior? What happened in the church? How did sex and femininity become marginalized?
NW: I think a lot of the sort of really misogynistic interpretations of scripture, and also the fear of sex stuff that came into Christianity came in with a lot of the church fathers, a lot of the original interpreters of these texts and theologians in the Christian tradition. They were doing what really any of us can do, which is going, “We have some concerns with ourselves and the world, and we’re going to go to this sacred text and see what kind of direction we can get.” Well, Augustine interpreted the Garden of Eden story in a really particular way that we are so influenced by that we don’t even know the difference between the text and his interpretation.
For instance, the word sin isn’t in there, the word temptation isn’t in there, the word temptation’s not in there, the devil is not in there, “original sin” is not in there, fall from grace is not in there. All of that is stuff that Augustine interpreted into the Garden of Eden story. So then it’s like, “Okay, well who was Augustine?” Well, brilliant guy, however had some sexual hangups like all of us do. His original shame, his story, his original shame came from an incident in the bathhouse with his father when he was going through puberty and he had an erection and his father commented on it. 
In the same way, the Song of Solomon is this beautiful erotic poem in the Bible, and it’s most likely the only book in the Bible that was possibly written by a woman, and it is mostly an erotic poem about a very shameless woman who has a lover and she loves her body and she loves their body and she loves sex and eroticism, and she has no shame about this. So what happens? Origin, another sort of church father comes along, and he goes, “No, that’s not about sex. That’s about Jesus’ love for the church. It’s just an allegory.” And okay, well who was Origin? Origin was this guy who was so terrified of sexual temptation, no kidding, he castrated himself. He cut his balls off. Is that the guy we want to go to for direction?
WL: Where did the idea of shame come from, and why do we feel it? How does it sort of creep in to our everyday lives?
NW: I see shame as being this hidden thing that drives us sometimes, because it’s this dark thing that I need to make sure nobody sees. I need to put all this energy into pretending something about myself is not true or something about myself is the whole truth. Or I need to make up for it, or I need to keep proving myself, or whatever because of this suspicion I have that something’s bad about me. I think if we could bottle shame as an energy source, it could easily replace fossil fuels, because it can really be this driving thing in our lives. But what it will never lead us to is freedom. Never does shame lead us to freedom.

To embody wellness is to take our practice off the mat—the ultimate rebellion is apply the principles of mindfulness in our everyday lives. Learn more about what it means to #ExperienceWell with us at Wellspring in Downtown Palm Springs this October! Tickets available now. 
What does it mean to be free? Yoga can hold the key to rediscovering our personal freedoms. In time, the practice helps hone the liberties of our everyday lives. We loosen our grip as we realize that we can’t control everything. Throughout this journey the ways we react to challenges and handle situations begins to change, as old parts of ourselves that no longer serve us begin to fall away. Yoga is a celebration of the freedom we experience in our minds, bodies, hearts and souls. Our perceptions expand as we acknowledge that we are all connected to something greater—to the great cosmic whole.
Here are four ways that yoga preserves our sovereignty and reminds us of the power in our potential.
Yoga as Rebellion
To be a yogi means to take part in a peaceful rebellion. Yoga and mindfulness have now transcended obscurity and seeped into the mainstream. What it means to be a modern yogi—to lead an alternative and mindful life in today’s world—is not just about designer yoga pants and mala beads, chanting and meditating for peace, or quitting your job to be a yoga teacher. Those who flock to this path do so because how life was once perceived is challenged instantaneously. There is no turning back.
The deeper we dive into this practice, the more we question what we know about ourselves and our life’s purpose. To be a yogi means to go against the status quo of what we think we should look like, or should do with our lives. We rebel against the norm—against what our families may have expected us to do with ourselves and our careers. Our yoga gives us the ability to stay true to our own path; to march to the beat of our own drum as we pursue our most cherished dreams. Yogis don’t just join a rebellion… they lead it.
Yoga as Liberation
It is through yoga that a detached awareness as an observer of the mind is developed over time. We begin to understand and accept that our thoughts—when put into action—create our reality. But still, it is easy to fall back into the habit of projection into the future with anxiety, or ruminating over the past which can lead to depression.
By continuing to practice the art of paying attention to the present moment, however, we liberate ourselves from the confines of the mind. We free ourselves from the shame we may have spent a lifetime holding in both our minds and bodies. We cut the psychic chords of limiting beliefs about ourselves that hold us back from our dreams, because we come to realize through mind, body, and spirit that we are capable of miracles. Yoga is an emancipation from the shackles of our negativity; our shadow self. It is through this liberation that we become lighter and less weighed down by the past—we become comfortable and confident in our own skin. We love and accept ourselves exactly as we are.
Yoga as Independence
We live in a paradox: a world that is hyper-connected and isolating at the same time. Many of us spend so much of our precious time living through our handheld screens in an attempt to feel connected to this “global village” of ours, that the most important connection can often fall by the wayside: the connection to the Self. We forget how to listen. But yoga is a direct line back to that union: the yoke of mind and body that fuses together in communion with the divine. Our inner “Self” is our best friend who many of us may have a tendency to mistreat as though we were in an abusive relationship. We can become empty inside and lonely, and turn to coping mechanisms like co-dependence on others to fill that void or worse—to substance abuse.
But in coming home to our “Selves” through yoga, we realize each and every time that we are indeed enough as is. We become so confident in our solitude that owning our independence becomes exciting, rather than uncomfortable or scary. We relish in our alone time and use it as an opportunity to create, to reflect, to practice self-care. It this epiphany that makes us aware of the fact that our inner relationship is all we’ve really got—and that in turn, our outer relationships can truly start to blossom and flourish. Our bonds strengthen because we love ourselves wholly. By relinquishing our grip on co-dependence we can lead a blissfuly independent life.
Yoga as Freedom
Our freedom is a gift. And for anyone who has been blessed with total autonomy, it is a gift that is so often taken for granted. We forget that our good fortune may have happened by luck or chance, and ignore the abundance of opportunities at our disposal. We obsess over what we do not have, what we have not accomplished, and how we will not be happy nor complete nor fulfilled until we meet certain standards. We longingly compare ourselves to the status, success, fame or celebrity of others, instead of relishing in how far we’ve come with the hand we’ve been dealt.
Worse yet, we can make the mistake of believing that everyone is born with the same opportunities—that everyone has the ability to manifest their dreams. We are wrong when we forget the limiting beliefs of that perception. Syrian refugees or the “Lost Boys” of South Sudan were not born into freedom and safety. Ongoing civil war and conflict zones are not ripe with opportunity—only destruction and despair. The real truth about the scarcity of abundance is that it’s an important reminder to us all to be grateful for what do we have. By practicing gratitude for our liberties, our talents and abilities, for a roof over our head at night, for clean water and healthy food to nourish our bodies, we are reminded of blessings that ought not be taken lightly. The moment we lose sight of all we have to be grateful for, we take our myriad freedoms for granted.
As a spiritual practice, yoga broadens our perceptions to dissolve any self-imposed boundaries or culturally engrained limiting belief systems we may hold about the world. We become more expansive—we begin to look outside of ourselves and question everything. That’s when we begin to connect to whatever may resonate as a higher power or divine source, and to the interconnectivity of how the universe works as a whole. But ultimately, it is our connection to all living beings that matters most in this lifetime. When we are connected, our egos subside and humility steps in to run the gamut of what it means to be human.
By practicing gratitude, we become the greatest versions of ourselves we can be. We empower our freedoms and make the most of our experience in the short time we have on this planet. We become large instead of small; we participate in service and give back to the world. In taking charge as leaders of this peaceful rebellion, we as yogis liberate ourselves from negativity. Our independence cultivates connectivity; our freedom as a way of life in service to those less fortunate.
To be a yogi is to be the light that shines in the darkness.

Want more from Sally? Learn from her in person at Wellspring in Downtown Palm Springs this October, and learn what it means to #ExperienceWell. Tickets available now! 
Sally Kohn spent 15 years as a community organizer before landing a job at Fox News as the token liberal on-air. In her years there, she learned an important lesson: Though she had long figured that her colleagues were full of hate—loud as they were with opinions that were far different than her own—she realized over time that it was she who was judging them. She set out to learn what caused people to be so removed, and in her travels working on a book (The Opposite of Hate: A Field Guide to Repairing Our Humanity is available now) she postulated just what it is that causes us to separate ourselves into self-designated categories of “us” and “them.” Watch on for her learnings, and read below for more.
Wanderlust (WL): Let’s talk a little bit about this age that we’re living in. What does it mean to be an outsider? An insider?
Sally Kohn (SK): We are in interesting times when it comes to being an outsider versus being an insider. I think what’s important for us all think about is we all occupy both roles in different ways. But what’s interesting because of the moment we’re in, in society, where we’re all feeling inundated whether it’s politics, it’s the environmental crisis, crumbling infrastructure, failing schools, segregated neighborhoods, we are all feeling these mounting problems all around us. What’s interesting is part of that, we’re often focused on the ways on which we’re outsiders and the harm that’s being done to us by that status. We’re not often taking responsibility for the ways in which we’re insiders and what we can do constructively in those roles to help the people who feel like outsiders in those dynamics. So, we have to see both sides of it.
WL: Do you think that we always have a sense of fear or a sense of dislike for the other?
SK: Think about ourselves as hardware and software, right. The hardware that we all got when we popped out of the stores, predisposes us to think of the world as “us vs. them.” That’s evolutionary biology, we do have this tribalism and this preference for “our own.” That’s the hardware. Who we hate, who we decide as “us vs. them,” the identities, the categories that we give power and attention to, that is not part of our hardware. That’s the software. That is what we are taught by society, that is encoded into us through media, and politics, and culture. So, that can be changed.
WL: You really believe that people can change?
SK: You know, the only reason that I can do this work is because I’ve seen change happen in both history and in present day. So, we have to bear in mind that as a country, certainly, in the United States of America, we have never achieved the full equality, justice, compassion, humanity, equal treatment of others that we have aspired to. It’s been a rhetorical aspiration, we’ve never perfectly achieved it.
What is important to know is that, even in our country, a country in so many ways founded on and steeped in hate, we’ve progressed, we have gotten better. Our schools are still obscenely segregated today—more segregated today than 20 years ago—but 100 years ago, 150 years ago, most white people supported racial segregation of schools, and today they don’t. We as a society, changed. Twenty, 30 years ago we as a society were more homophobic than we are today, as another example. I know people in my life who were more homophobic than they are today. So, people have changed, can change, do change, and knowing that’s possible encourages at least me to work to encourage all of us to create the environment in which people can change as opposed to permanently condemning them to be nothing but hateful.
WL: How do you do that? How do you create an environment where people feel comfortable to change?
SK: So, in the history of the world, no one has ever changed because someone hated them so much, or some group of people hated them so much that they thought, “hey, I’m gonna go give them a gander because they hate me so much and treat me like I’m stupid,” right? So, there’s a moral dimension to this, which is you have to believe. This is, here I’m quoting Bryan Stevenson, “you have to believe that people are more than the worst thing they’ve done in life.” You also have to believe people are more than just the worst thing they’ve thought in life, or the worst thing they’ve said in life.
WL: When you were traveling around interviewing people for this book, what were some moments when you saw people make this leap, or when you were able to make a leap yourself in your own perception of other people?
SK: My book, The Opposite of Hate it’s not a destination, it represents a work in progress—me. I hope more and more of us try to pursue a path of kindness, humanity, justice, calling people in rather than calling people out, advocating for equality and humanity in our policies, and in our relationships, and in our interactions.
When I traveled around the country and the world talking to ex-neo-Nazis, and former terrorists, and people who participated in genocide, what I realized is honestly, how much we all have in common. And the disturbing thing about any of these extreme examples is that any of us can do them. That there isn’t something particularly unique or extraordinary about people who do extraordinarily hateful things, that we all can do it. The flip side is, from these stories, what I learned is we can all change. I mean, if they can change, there’s definitely hope for the rest of us.
WL: Was there ever a moment when you were interviewing these people that you were like, “Oh, shit, I do that. This is me.”
SK: There were a lot of moments when I was interviewing folks where I was like, “oh, wow, this is me.” I try to share as much as I can about my own faults, my own blind spots, my own mistakes, my own hate, because I think we spend too much time pointing the fingers at others. I mean, I will say this much, this is a fascinating moment in history, and this is a fascinating dynamic because I would say 99.9 percent of us agree that hate is a problem in our society right now, and 99.9 percent of us think it has nothing to do with us. That it’s a problem created by someone else. How can we have a problem, that everyone thinks is a problem, and no one actually thinks they’re responsible for it.
WL: What happens when we begin to treat outsiders as insiders? What happens when you open up your ears to an ex-neo-Nazi, to an ex-terrorist? Does that allow them to become an insider, and is that the opposite of hate?
SK: I’m gonna bust open that question because I don’t think this is about outsiders becoming insiders, insiders becoming outsiders. There actually is a larger, I think, project here in that the way we’ve tended to think about rights and justice in our world has been about the privileged vs. the excluded, and often the way we fix problems of injustice is to amend and append people onto the included, the us, while there’s still a them. I think the ultimate path to justice and equality is to get rid of the us and them, to get rid of the insider/outsider distinction, to see our wholeness, our connectedness—connectedness is the opposite of hate, spoiler alert—and to move into a direction where we are all aware of our own and each others humanity and dignity, and enact policies, live in a culture that reflects that.
