TRAIL BREAKER PODCAST // JULY 21, 2021
My guest today is Sasha Dingle, founder and lead meditation teacher of the Mountain Mind Project. She’s also a former faculty member at the Goleman Emotional Intelligence Coaching and Training Program and competitor on the mountain biking Enduro World Series and skiing Freeride World Tour. Sasha’s vision is to make training the mind as common as training the body.
We talked about: how to not hide from your mind, that mindfulness is really about learning to drop back into our bodies, and when you don’t know where you belong, keep breaking trails till you find the place where you can really be yourself.

JACKSON HOLE, WYO – Local athlete, Sasha Dingle started teaching mindful meditation as a response to growing mental health concerns. “In my opinion, the rise of anxiety and depression, especially in kids and teens, is the public health issue of this generation,” said Dingle. “We are finding we can play a significant role in our own mental health and well-being through daily meditation practice.”

Sasha Dingle practices and teaches mindfulness meditation. Her definition of “mindfulness” is based on that of Jon Kabat-Zinn, one of the leading figures in the Western, secular discipline.
“It’s paying attention on purpose to the present moment, without judgment,” she said. “It’s a methodology, a practice to bring ourselves back to that direct experience — what’s known through our senses — before we start building this whole associative story.”

Sasha Dingle is a mindfulness-based stress reduction teacher and a member of the St. John’s Wellness Department. She described an activity focused on listening and connection in which everyone practiced making eye contact. They sat in a circle, and each took a turn looking at the person next to them with “attention and a feeling of kindness.”
The curriculum allows for diverging from traditional classroom practices. For example, students don’t have to raise their hands to speak.
“The feedback we got was surprising,” Dingle said. “Kids were saying that they get nervous when they raise their hand. They get worried they are going to forget what they wanted to say, and it causes more stress.”
