Finding Harmony Podcast

"Come, come, whoever you are, a pagan, an idol worshiper or an infidel. Come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times. Ours is not a caravan of despair. Come." - Rumi Delara Tiv grew up with Sufi traditions throughout her family. However, it wasn't until she turned 22 that she became drunk with love and fell headfirst into the Sufi Mystic path as a disciple of Sufi Master Javad Nurbakhsh. Her spiritual practice is graced by his guidance and this Mystic teaching is a parallel practice to the path of Yoga. As a Certified Advanced Rolfer and yoga teacher Delara's goal is to lead practitioners of all levels to develop a safe and sustainable self-practice; to grow by mindful embodiment and to overcome past injuries and limitations. Ashtanga Vevey was founded in 2018 by Delara Tiv, with the intention to hold space for a community to emerge and to support yoga practitioners of all abilities on their path of self discovery in this deeply transformational practice.

It is with great pleasure that we introduce our esteemed and most honorable guest: the beautiful, humble, and one might say, divinely inspired human, Nina Rao! What Nina enchants us with is an opportunity to reflect more deeply on what it means to cultivate a spiritual practice. And, the shadow side, which is to examine just how often we fail at this noble endeavor. As she reminds us, this too is OK -- even part of the path. We all have families, obligations, children, and the whole point is that we keep trying to do better every day. Even when we can’t always be at our best. We also had a wondrous opportunity to talk about cultural appropriation and our earnest efforts to have an authentic experience in a post modernist world of self construction. For those of us not born into a specific lineage, we have the gift and freedom to resonate and choose different spiritual paths and practices. However, there is something to be said about digging a single well and going deep. Discovering what insight lays buried within the repetition. True learning. And, in the end, we touch something beyond this behavioral reality — we begin to transcend our ego-selves As Neem Karoli Baba (Maharaji) said, “Go on chanting your false “Ram, Ram” some day you’ll get it right.” And, perhaps you’ll also find yourself running across the lake after your guru seeking to get the pronunciation exactly correct as you embark on your chosen path to enlightenment. Spiritual practice is something that’s continually evolving as we grow and change as ‘spiritual beings having a human experience.’ And it's our birthright -- It's our dharma! (A side note: The movie referenced in the beginning of our conversation was For the Benefit of All Beings.)

Spiritual practice is about welcoming all of you. It's touching life exactly where life is touching you. It is allowing everything and everyone to be exactly as they are in this moment, without trying to change or manipulate our experience or theirs. In a way it is to give up trying to become anything other than you are. It's lovingly embracing that part of you that doesn't want to be embraced and meeting that part of yourself exactly where it is at. Meditation is a practice of becoming aware of the NOW. It can begin right now. All you need to do is become aware of your body in this moment. Feel the mysterious sensations of breath moving, of your feet on the ground, of light bouncing off your eyes. What does it feel like to be.... you? Uniquely, unrepeatably you, having whatever experience you're having, in this moment, right now, right here. Will you bless it with your conscious awareness?

"¡Hala Madrid! ...y nada más" means "Go Madrid and nothing more!" During the course of this interview a smile started to slowly etch itself into our very souls. Some people are built different. Some people hide themselves away, only revealing who they are little by little. Then, over the desert course, possibly after uncorking another bottle of wine, they mention the unmentionable and blow your fucking mind. That’s our guest today, Carmen Yagüe. You could say Russell sort of circled her, with his sense of humour, like a hammer head shark wondering where the comedy would be. Carmen you’ll see is quiet, composed, and poised, she sits back taking it all in. But, what we didn't know is that she’s also someone that thinks about death. Muerte. Like us, she thinks about it all the time. And, we find that delicious. Anne Sexton and Sylvia Plath found that the unifying dimension to their friendship. They understood the immediacy of its appeal, the finality of its solution. The way death winds around us and presents to us as a kind of rising whistling cobra. We know you’ll enjoy this episode as spinning gravitational bodies slowly come to observe one another within the same orbit. Carmen Yagüe is an authorized teacher of Ashtanga yoga by Sharath R. Jois with close to 15 years of experience in the method. Ashtanga yoga's systematic, gradual approach appealed to her from the beginning, and she’s experienced the transformative power of the practice within her body, mind, and approach to life. Carmen supports her student's practice from a space of dedicated perseverance, integrity, and self-confidence. Come practice with me in Madrid September 27 - October 1, 2023!

Our guest today was born in Germany, growing up on her family’s farm in Bavaria. *side note BMW stands for Bayerische Motoren Werke or Bavarian Auto Works... and that's where Harmony will be teaching this week, in Munich! When Ashtanga yoga found Viviane Simon she was going through a difficult period of depression, ending a seriously toxic relationship, and struggling with her weight, being 130kg (286 pounds). She enrolled in a “rebirthing training” course (which used a type of breathwork) and this led her into an Ashtanga yoga class. This was back in April 2013, and since then, Ashtanga became her main focus because it helped her fall in love with herself again. After her third class she had a feeling of belonging, "THIS is it!" What we loved most about our conversation with Viviane is that any discussion about her weight is nearly immaterial to her. Her success in yoga was totally based on the way her mind and emotions were changing, opening up new perspectives. She has zero interest in doing before and after pictures. For one: they do not showcase nor demonstrate her happiness! Two: they simply feed into a culture of body obsession and dysmorphia. Viviane started to prioritize her practice as a way of prioritizing her self-care. This simple act changed everything. Her first teacher, Griselda, always encouraged her to practice, telling her it wasn’t necessary to change anything about her physicality, she never suggested that her body size, shape, or weight would be an impediment to any asana.

What a beautiful podcast to kick off Pride month! This is an important month to celebrate our common humanity, diversity, and unconditional love and acceptance of one another. Jivana coined the phrase, “Accessible Yoga,” over ten years ago, and it has now become the standard appellation for a large cross section of the immense yoga world. He brought the Accessible Yoga community together for the first time in 2015 for the Accessible Yoga Conference, which has gone on to become a focal point for this movement. Russell’s tendency of over-relating to our guests has been noted. And this episode is no exception. It might seem he’s attempting to “out gay the gays,” so to speak. But it opens this conversation into an incredibly intimate and deep portrait of a young man stepping into a cultural identity during a particularly traumatic time in our collective history, the HIV/AIDS crisis. Jivana talks about his anger as an activist and how it informed his beliefs. It gave insight to some very important decisions around how he could best serve, offering a unique way to practice yoga within a community of practitioners of varying identities, capacities, or abilities. You see, this world is not a one way mirror. We are all reflections of one another. When we are angry, we project and see anger in the other, and that’s who we become. Jivana has specialized in teaching yoga to people with disabilities with an emphasis on community building and social engagement. Out of this work, the nonprofit Accessible Yoga Association was created to support education, training, and advocacy with the mission of shifting the public perception of yoga. Accessible Yoga offers Conferences, Community Forums, a Podcast, and a popular Ambassador program He’s the author of Accessible Yoga: Poses and Practices for Every Body (Shambhala Publications), and Yoga Revolution: Building a Practice of Courage & Compassion (Shambhala Publications, Nov. 2021).

We start off this episode with a cautionary tale about what happens when you experience debilitating back pain and don’t listen to your body, but try to work through the pain. Our guest Sally Parkes, began her journey in the health and fitness industry in 1998 after qualifying as a personal trainer and gaining a bachelor in Sport Science in the year 2001. Soon after, she experienced a deep calling to explore a more holistic approach to movement and breath, which led to Sally certifying as a yoga and pranayama teacher, training with Paul Dallaghan and Sri O.P.Tiwari at Yoga Thailand, where Harmony first met her during the time she was living and teaching there. We dive deep into the troubling beginnings of what brought Sally to the this path of yoga in the first place. A path which she believes wholeheartedly saved her life. Since then, Sally has gone on to train as a doula with Michel O’Dent and as a Pilates teacher with A.P.P.I. (Australian Pilates Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute), and has established her own yoga teacher training school The Sally Parkes Yoga Academy in 2010, training over 1500 yoga teachers to date. Now specializing in solely women’s wellness, Sally’s academy offers yoga that honors the cycles of menstruation, fertility, pregnancy, postnatal and menopause.

We have an incredible conversation to share with you today! Introducing our new friend, the eminent Dr. Emma Bragdon. Emma has been a pioneer in body-mind-spirit wellness for 50 years. She has written 7 books and co-produced two documentary films on topics related to mental health and healing. In fact, she’s been a teacher in experiential learning for adults since 1985. Dr. Bragdon is the Founder and Executive Director of the Foundation for Energy Therapies, Inc (FET), a not for profit dedicated to education and research. Integrative Mental Health University, IMHU, is a project of FET. Prior to graduate school, Emma trained with some of the best bio-energetic and neo-Reichian therapists in the San Francisco Bay area! Her advanced training in breathwork, bodywork and energy work became central in her understanding of how to support personal growth and wellness. By 1988, Emma was licensed as a Marriage, Family, and Child Therapist, had earned her PhD in Transpersonal Psychology, and specialized in private practice around issues of Spiritual Emergency. She continues to coach individuals online from all continents in the world, as well as consult with organizations regarding identifying and managing spiritual emergencies. And in fact, we’re considering training with Dr. Bragdon on how to become a spiritual emergence coach at her online Integrative Mental Health University. There is an increasing need for this work in our communities. And, we artists, yogis, and podcast listeners are ripe for the exchange!

Well… we certainly didn’t expect that. We didn’t expect to be talking to Peter Gabriel’s niece. We didn’t expect her to actually be living beside Solsbury Hill. We didn’t think we’d be talking about all that much about Ben Folgle and the Animal Park show broadcast from her hometown of Bath. We didn’t think we we’d be talking that much about drugs and co-dependency and “good enough” mums and adult children of alcoholics. Well… maybe that’s not such a surprise, as Russell does like to typically go in that direction, and it seems to be a theme amongst many Ashtanga practitioners. We have to say that this wild episode is one of our personal favorites. The drugs and name dropping is one thing… Twee references to the Royal family compound our glee! But, what gets us the most is when someone has a sincere relationship to the healing power of practice. And Lucinda Leachman is the first to attest to how it’s helped her immensely. Using it as a somatic therapy, it’s helped her to process the past, let go of shame, and move confidently into an unknown future. Lucinda is also no stranger to injury, pain, and frustration within the practice itself. As a mother, she’s learned to release perfectionism and embrace the blessings that practice brings, so she can show up more fully in her life. ⁠FIND OUT MORE ABOUT LUCINDA ON IG - @lucindaleachmanyoga⁠ JOIN ME IN JUNE!

Kyra tells us, “All good things in my life are because of my parents.” Her parents were dancers, they’re liberal, kind-hearted humans, who found Ashtanga yoga first. They brought Kyra to her first class. However, at that time, Kyra was deeply struggling with bulimia and anorexia. And although the class made an imprint, a spark was lit. It wasn’t until after she left treatment that she was fully able to return to it. Diving headfirst with an openness to receiving it's healing effects. Today we’re talking about identity, hidden wounds, and how sometimes, even with the best upbringing and family, we struggle with our own darkness. The good news is there’s freedom when we compassionately embrace our shadows, find the courage to bring it into the light, and invite them to dance! Kyra Weinberger grew up with dance, music, and yoga filling her home. She took the path of musical theater and ballet performing with professional companies from the age of 8. It was her first love and career, but it was not a forever love. Kyra knew at 19 years old, walking out of her first Intro to Ashtanga class she had found something that had always been missing. Unfortunately, the path wasn't exactly simple. Having dealt with an eating disorder and the anxiety for many years, it was not until recovery that a real practice was possible. The practice of Ashtanga has given Kyra tools to create a life of discipline and love.

Nadia Stinga Rihani is a mother of two, a yoga teacher (ashtanga level 2 authorised in 2014), a former gymnast, and a qualified strategic psychotherapist and clinical hypnotherapist. In 2019 Nadia was hit by a car, which left her unable to walk for many months, and she had to learn to start again completely. This accident resulted in the loss of her career and so, after taking off a period of time to focus on physical and mental rehabilitation, and also to have her second child (carrying the baby on a broken pelvis). Nadia is currently studying nutrition and building a business that will help women manage the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause through diet, movement, meditation and observed rest. Nadia is passionate about all things health and well-being, and although the car accident has been devastating, it has taught her a lot about physical movement and it’s power to help with grief and trauma. Nadia can usually be found in the ocean in Sydney where she lives, and she tries to swim every day possible.

What is the spiritual path and how does it change us? This is a solo episode with some thoughts and reflections on what it means to have a spiritual practice and discipline. I offer a reading from the book: "Ritual As Remedy" by Mara Branscombe, ⁠a guest from back in January, episode 148⁠, and speak to how my own practice has shifted and changed over the years. “Your faith may be found inside the quiet of daily meditation practice or in your evening prayers. Be it fire ceremony, sweat lodge, tea ceremony, yoga practice, playing music, ecstatic dance, or kitchen dance parties. Be it your journal practice, turning pottery, or summiting a mountain. What is your conscious practice where you build your house of faith? Where do you fill yourself up on a soul level? What consciously and wholeheartedly lights you up and brings you lasting joy?” - Ritual as Remedy, by Mara Branscombe These are important questions to reflect on when you’re cultivating a life of spirit. How best can you honour this spiritual quest of life? What makes you come alive and feeds your soul? This is what I’m diving into today.

“I am my own muse, I am the subject I know best. The subject I want to know better.”— Frida Kahlo Youthfulness. What a beautiful blessing. Here we are met today by such openness to life, and all that her future has to offer, Palmoa Tamayo, graces us with her purity of spirit and sublime optimism. From her early years, being introduced to the Ashtanga yoga practice, to studying in Mysore, and then being called upon as Eddie Stern’s assistant, Paloma has crossed a chasm to touch into the depth of her yoga practice. It’s no small feat to be born in Mexico to a middle class family, forsaking the obvious path, to step outside one’s designated station to make new roads into a future yet defined. It is here in the land of the unknown that we meet Paloma, in all her brilliance, to talk about where she has been and where she might go as she steps into an undermined future. How wonderful it is to feel like the world is your oyster and that all good thing lay in wait. Today, you’ll be reminded of the joyfulness of youth and the purity of the practice. What beauty. What innocence. What joyfulness there is to behold on the other side of cynicism and age.

May the universe never abuse food. Breath is food; the body eats food, this body rests on breath. Breath rests on the body; Food is resting on food. The one who knows this becomes rich in food and great in fame." - Taittiriya Upanishad Anita Cunha, our dear friend and beautiful Vegan Chef joins us today. She specializes in creating perfectly balanced Ayurvedic cuisine. We’re learning about her journey down the path of self-discovery through her love for spice and food. She has a beautiful book called, “VEGAN INDIA: My Love Affair With The Land Of Spice” in which she shares much of her story along with incredibly delicious recipes. Anita believes it’s possible to gain esoteric knowledge of our body and mind through changing our eating habits. Flavors and smells have the power to bring transformation and change our consciousness. And today we’re hearing all about her love affair with India, how she learned Hindi, and eventually after traveling for several years, found herself working as the head chef at the Purple Valley Yoga Center in Goa. In her view, language, culture, religion, and food are intimately linked together and it’s impossible not to touch all these aspects of a culture when we decide to be a part of it. We’re able to understand others through stepping into their lived experiences through food and culture. Sign up to Join my FREE BREATHWORK Masterclass!

Eros is the drive of life, love, creativity, and sexuality, self-satisfaction, and species preservation. Thanatos, from the Greek word for "death" is the drive of aggression, sadism, destruction, violence, and death.” - Sigmund Freud It’s with great pleasure we sit down to speak with Ty Landrum to talk about his passion for Philosophy and the interplay of Eros and Thanatos. What creates the desire to thrive? We examine the existential pointlessness of enduring our own suffering… And how to end it? A question that’s plagued humanity since the dawn of time, birthing the disciplines of Yoga and Buddhism. You see, like all animals are caught in the chewing maw of the lioness’s embrace, eventually, we too will ultimately relax and sink into the void— Yet, we have the unique ability to anticipate this event and give up decades before we ever step into the jungle. Ty was incredibly generous with us on this subject and we are grateful to him for sharing. He speaks about how Ashtanga Yoga, quite literally, saved his life. His PhD was an emotional response to this transformation. An elevation to a higher purpose. You can feel it still in his devotion to the practice. Sri K. Pattabhi Jois would often quote Patanjali Yoga Sutra verse 12 in the first chapter, “practice yoga every day, with enthusiasm, for a long, long, long time.” When you hear these stories of how yoga has saved, transformed, created a whole new way of being and seeing the world, you can’t help but feel the pull of the practice… rolling out your yoga mat for one more day, one more time. A Poem. A Bio. A Life. “Ty Landrum. learned yoga from pain and heartache, loss and confusion, old books, lost tapes, full moons, long bouts of silence, cold winds, simplicity, forgiveness, surrender, and the caring words of a few good friends. He draws inspiration from children, saffron, sage, carob, almonds, chocolate, wise women, gnarled old men, olive trees, deep rivers, steep mountains, quaking aspen, honeybees, love songs, sunrises, laughter and deep breath.” Sign up to Join my FREE Masterclass! - harmonyslater.com/free-breathwork-masterclass JUNE 1 - 12, 2023 - All-Inclusive Turkey Retreat!

What a fun episode we have today! As many already know, I loooooove astrology, both Western and Vedic, as well as some of the more “woo-woo” esoteric studies, like Human Design. That said, my favorite personality typing tool is the Enneagram, which I use to help my coaching clients explore more deeply their unconscious patterning. However, today we have a unique guest who’s offering us a different kind of grand synthesis to help us uncover a deeper understanding of ourselves. Although you might think you know who you are already (which is understandable as you do live with yourself every day)… This Gene Key reading with our guest Rachel White blew us away! Rachel White is an Australian author, speaker, coach, gene keys guide, and artist of life. Rachel is what you might call a “witchy women” who is sharing some profound insights regarding our unique gifts and essence, and she’s here to help guide you too! You’re going to hear us enthusiastically jump head first into this hilarious and insightful discussion. We can’t hold back today, spontaneously asking what each line and number means. Before pursuing her creative path, Rachel worked as a professional accountant for eight years, so she has a special affinity for numbers, as well as a talent for reading into and remembering the deeper meanings behind them.

Mind–body dualism is a philosophical view which holds that mental phenomena are, at least in certain respects, not physical phenomena, meaning that the mind and the body are distinct and separable from one another. Of course… If you practice yoga, you know this is definitely not the case. We feel, think, and often remember through our body. Our body is a part of Prakriti “primary subatomic particles.” Our minds are also a part Prakriti. And what is left after prakriti is gone is simply awareness: Purusha, what we might call “Presence.” We are awareness you and I. We are linked. This is Paramatman. We are joined this way. False dichotomies are rife in our society. Red Blue. Body Mind. Them Us. High Brow Low Brow. Our guest today, our dear friend, Erik Jacobsen is a student. Self taught. In that he’s a life long learner with a passion for understanding being and demonstrating right action. Erik is a tattoo artist. He’s punk. He’s self made. He went to art school (but that is not exactly school) and has buried his art in the ground. And he’s buried it inside this impermanent flesh — another kind of ground. But Erik is also this: He’s an artist whose material, whose ground, is the the body. And nothing more so activates his art then his audience… The flesh. Flesh which itself represents the consciousness waking up, aware of itself housed inside a body. In painting we often refer to the ground as two things: First, it’s the treatment of the canvas or wood with a preservative that keeps the oil from eating away at it. Second, it’s the space in which the subject sits—an apple for example. The mistake a young artist often makes is to say that two are separate. That is to say, the subject becomes an object with no context. And to suggest that the context doesn’t affect the subject is a lie. That the light is not a part of the being of the apple is an untruth. The apple is light. Absolutely everything is made of stardust. And this is where we're meeting Jacob today... somewhere amongst the stars. JUNE 1 - 12, 2023 All-Inclusive Turkey Retreat!

With 7 children, a lawyer, a gifted solo pianist, she’s also and Advanced Asana practitioner, studying with Sharath Jois in Mysore, India for the past twenty years. She was an ambassador to India on behalf of Costa Rica…. and the list of accomplishments goes on and on… and she still has half a lifetime more to live. >>> Listen to our past episode with Mariela where we talk about her journey to Ashtanga yoga. We’re diving into the power of the feminine energy, how the different Ashtanga yoga series embody different types of energy, and calling upon the goddess archetypes as a guide during different phases of life. With International Women’s Day approaching on March 8th, this is the perfect way to reflect on the powerful experience of being born as female and what it means to embody this energy.

Halfway through this episode Russell exclaims, “Goodness, you are just a really nice, wholesome person, Marque!” And, our guest today well and truly is! You’ll find him somewhere in the woods, far away from the hustle of city life, enjoying a solitary life near lake Erie in Ohio. As it turns out, it’s near what must be God’s country, I’m sure. Where if you bathe in snow, drink fresh spring water, sleep on top of a coffin, and eat grilled beef liver (but only once a month), you might too become a master of the esoteric arts of ancient yoga. There is something just marvelously endearing about Garaux’s pursuit of perfection. Marque discovered Ashtanga Yoga while seeking different ways to alleviate his lower back pain. After noticing an almost immediate physical change, Marque then slowly began to see other positive changes happening in his life as well. With no Ashtanga teachers in the area, he found himself with no choice but to get up early and practice on his own before work everyday. During this time Marque also attended a 200 teacher training and several Ashtanga workshops and intensives to deepen his understanding of this beautiful system. Marque is the owner of Great Lakes Ashtanga Yoga which is located on 8 wooded acres in Geneva, Ohio. He offers a traditional Mysore program, private lessons and workshops. B-School Closes THIS WEEK!

Today, we’re talking about how we can best serve and hold space within our classrooms, yoga spaces, and with our clients. It’s with great joy that we welcome back our dearest friend Lara Land. Lara speaks today about some of her personal experiences that brought her to this chosen path… How she started off teaching yoga in Rwanda to survivors of genocide. Then, after opening her yoga school in Harlem, NY, she recognized that her yoga space required a different kind of awareness and presence. She felt called to share these powerful tools with those who may never venture into a yoga studio. So, she established her non-profit organization dedicated bringing trauma sensitive yoga and mindfulness to those who need it most. We need to be trauma informed in our teaching, as we facilitate wellness spaces, now more than ever. Lara’s new book, The Essential Guide to Trauma Sensitive Yoga, couldn’t have come at a better time. It’s now available for pre-order!

Right in the middle of this episode Harmony said to Russell “We need to get to the yoga part!” He said “Everybody does the yoga part! Ellie is a Cultural Studies professor. Lets ask about that! Deconstruct Orientalism or Japan or her personal experience with colonialism and being the Other!” Harmony sighed and said “Fine” “So.. Dr. Smith, what are Cultural Studies?” And Ellie said, “Oh gosh. I haven’t a clue.” So begins our absolutely scintillating conversation with the effervescent and gorgeously insightful Ellie Smith: A recovering academic, now yoga teacher, entrepreneur, and writer with a persistent curiosity about the world, both natural and human, Ellie Smith is an absolute delightful human to spend time with. Born and raised in Cornwall, U.K, after completing University in 2005, Ellie took a “gap year” and has ended up spending the last 17 years living in Japan becoming an Assistant Professor of Cultural Studies, teaching at a university in Nagoya. Ellie is passionate about helping yoga beginners and the yoga curious navigate their way into the often confusing realm of yoga, using the methods she’s learned through her Ashtanga practice, becoming certified in the traditions of Hatha Yoga, Yin Yoga, and Trauma-sensitive Yoga teaching.

A meta critique came up in our conversation about the mythic “Hero’s Journey.” The Hero, which so often gendered male, is larger than life (think Brad Pitt—super cut with deliciously sumptuous lips.) The Hero symbolizes an impossible reality. And yet, somehow, we are surrounded by quiet heroes every single day. Bella is one of these quiet heroes. Overshadowed on Instagram (a different Meta altogether) by images of bodies demonstrating superhuman feats that appear impossible by any “normal” standards. Somehow our mind is tricked into connecting these Superhuman displays of prowess to symbolize a successful inner quest culminating in God Realization. Bella Sarna is interested in creating a different kind of space. She’s focused on cultivating a little sanctuary to come home to. A sanctuary that’s as much a sacred place inside her heart, as it is a beautiful room to step into. Isn’t that after all the true purpose of Yoga? To find refuge within ourselves. To come home to a quiet integration of our mind, body, and spirit. Our guest today is doing just that. Bella Sarna is a Yoga facilitator and deeply devoted student of Ashtanga Yoga. She is also a mother, an Entrepreneur, and works as the Marketing Director and Owner of boutique Interior Design business, where she creates beautiful residential and retail spaces.

We had the sense today that we were speaking with a soul who has a transcendent sense of confidence in herself. Not in any way an arrogant sense of entitlement, nor in a narcissistic way. But, someone who has the confidence that comes with not fearing death. Death being that slow cool release from a lifetime of bubbling growth, in the way that water must fall off a mountainside. The water has to fall eventually. So why not bathe yourself in it? Mara Branscombe is a mother, writer, yogi, artist, teacher, mindfulness leader, ceremonialist and spiritual coach. She is the author of “Ritual As Remedy: Embodied Practices For Soul Care.” Mara is passionate about weaving the art of mindfulness, self-care, creativity, mind–body practices, and earth-based rituals into her life and work, and she’s been leading community ceremony since 2000. An adventurous spirit, Mara has sailed across the Atlantic Ocean, trekked across the Himalayas, studied yoga in India, planted trees in Canada’s north, lived off the grid in a remote cabin in the woods, worked as a Waldorf (Steiner School) teacher, and then found her passion for dance and choreography. Ritual as Remedy: Embodied Practices for Soul Care In this evocative and inspiring guide to ritual as healing balm for the psyche and soul, Mara Branscombe shares potent self-care and soul-care rituals that awaken freedom, joy, depth of spirit, and wild, untamed self-love. Harnessing the power of imagery and poetry, she shows how ritual can serve as a way to ground yourself, invite in the new, let go of what needs to be shed, and tap into your own inner powers.

We’ve signed up for something special today! Harmony’s had us get our human design charts done by a specialist, and guess what? We’re really compatible! Hell, we already knew that! But it sure was cool to hear how a Manifesting Generator with ‘sacral authority’ matches so beautifully with a Projector with SPLENIC AUTHORITY! What a fascinating conversation. Please curl up with your cup of tea or roll out the kinks on your Yoga Wheel and meet Adriana Keefe! Adriana is mom to three young children, a human design coach and spiritual strategist, lover of wine, and salt-of-the-earth woman. She’s committed to helping high achieving women create harmony in life without sacrificing their goals. (Harmony loves creating more harmony in her life!) As a small business owner multiple times over, Adriana also knows what it’s like to have many competing demands on her time and attention. Her mission is to support other women to listen deeply to their energy, by leaning into their unique human design strategy, so they can step into their authentic energetic flow, where life becomes easy and less forceful. (Russell, for example has floated around for 47 years only doing exactly what feels natural to him. He’s always felt a bit guilty about how easy his life is. Learn how he doesn’t have to anymore! - LOL) Madame Keefe combines spiritual and emotional techniques with tangible skill and logical steps to create a life of harmony and balance using the philosophy and tools she’s learned from studying Human Design.

Katie told us that ours was the “single most fun podcast she’d ever been on. Bar none!” High praise to be sure. We were SO delighted! Getting to know Katie Silcox is like unwrapping a beautiful gift that keeps revealing more lovely surprises hidden inside the layers and folds: The Southern Belle as Mystic who shares openly about her journey and struggles, what brought her to seek out the wisdom traditions of the East and ultimately what’s inspired her to explore the philosophical teachings of the West. We’re exploring many of the fascinating intersections of Katie’s life, from teaching computers (human robots) to feel, to losing herself inside the weird, wonderful, and wild world of the Indian subcontinent, to writing a book that translate the ancient teachings of Ayurveda into something fun and sassy that any modern woman would enjoy as much as picking up a Cosmo magazine. We’re exploring the connection between Western philosophy and Eastern mysticism, and how we’re living in a world where we’re trapped inside a selfie, taking a picture of a selfie, taking a picture of a selfie. How can we get out? Find out the answer in today's Finding Harmony episode... You'll discover it has something to do with making that which is unconscious, conscious. And piecing ourselves together in a way that we become “whole” or “holy,” unbreakable, and sacred. Time Genius Opens January 9th!

Happy New Year! Our guest Stuart, was born and bred in Kentucky. He mentioned that he had met Babita Shrestha, our guest from episode #141, who’s a Nepalese vegan chef, back in Kentucky, years ago. This made us smile, thinking about the deep desire we share to connect with each other. Our guest today shares with us his deeply integrated sense that all beings deserve space for life. And pulls back the curtain on how, like Mr.Anderson (before he becomes Neo in the Matrix) we’ve been living in a constructed illusion where our food is concerned! Author and activist Stuart Waldner didn’t set out to be an animal welfare or plant-based spokesman. But, after two decades of exploring Earth’s greatest wonders and connecting with sacred sites around the globe, he transitioned fully to a completely vegan lifestyle in 2008. Stuart says, “Like Neo in the Matrix, the Meatrix hooked my brain and my body on what it force-fed me since birth. Since taking the red pill and becoming plant-based, I see how I was living in a world of speciesism, brainwashed by the Meatrix and hooked on its products. I believe the Meatrix held this power over me because it is a cult I was born into and never questioned.” The better he felt, not consuming animal-based products, the more he learned about the statistical connections between our dietary choices and the worldwide crises we’re about to face on a global scale. He felt called to wake people up—for our health and for the planet! Our survival as a species is intimately tied to every other living creature on the planet. The choices we make around the ways we treat and consume other beings is having a devastating effect on our precious earth, and a catastrophic price will be paid by all, if we don’t make some serious efforts to alter the course we’re on!

It’s a very special Christmas episode! On this festivus morning, in the dark, on your mat, as you do your lonely yoga practice before your children awake, please feast your ears and bask in the wondrous splendiferousness energy that is Kino MacGregor! Enjoy this relaxed, informal, conversation between old friends chatting about old times, as if we were catching up at the local Coconut Stand in Gokulum after a challenging led class. We’re talking about just how hard this practice is and how hard it is to be human, to do all the things, and still have time for your spiritual growth. The real charm of Kino though, besides her effortless ability to be vulnerable, as well as her deep and critical intelligence (which might be a somewhat delightful and unexpected surprise for the average IG doomscroller) is her down to earth, straight-up honesty. She brings to the conversation an ease in describing just how hard it is be her and what she has to do in the morning to feel normal, or even able to engage with other human beings. I think you’ll find that even though she is somewhat supernatural her abilities (not to mention super famous within the yoga world), she’s very much still human, and not afraid to lean into the fragility of her humanity. As we did, please be charmed with this very Special Christmas episode on a cheerful Sunday morning. We wish you the very best during this holiday season!

Kia Miller is someone who lives a radiant and integrated life! She brings the inside to the outside world and in her meditations she brings the outside into her room. Sometimes that’s as simple as opening a window, even on the coldest of winter mornings. Kia describes her childhood as a paradise on the Falkland Islands amidst millions of sheep and a handful of shepherds and children. A paradise broken by tracer fire and the simple act of soldiers dying in front of her. Death is such a common denominator to life; yet somehow continues to mystify and shock us all at once. Beginning her journey with a deep dive into the Ashtanga method, Kia started to explore other forms of asana practice, Iyengar, Vinyasa, and finally immersed herself fully into the Kundalini Yoga lineage. She’s integrated her experiences to create a radiant body and deeply integrated life through her study and practice of asana, meditation, and dynamic vibrating pranayama, she not only spends time on her mat, but lives the yoga each and every day. At any rate, she had to run, giggling and delighted with our quick chat. She promises to come back and chat again about her rip roaring life of modelling shoots, documentary film, and kundalini classes with supermodels in LA. What a cosmic creature!

Mama, Humanitarian, Artist, Poet, Bestselling Author, Entrepreneur, Teacher, and Mentor… Elena Brower has woven together a transcendental tapestry of conscious awareness through myriad diverse roles and interests, all of which bring her joy, to create a life that exemplifies compassion in action. It was such a true honor and blessing to have this time to sit alongside Elena this morning. We learn how her journey along the path of yoga began, how it’s continued to blossom into a study and practice of Zen Buddhism, and how the full spectrum of spiritual awakening has bathed every aspect of her life in radiant light. We feel we’ve asked some important questions, like how we can turn every action, conversation, responsibility, or thought into an opportunity for spiritual awakening. And as you’ll hear all throughout this episode… Elena has some deep and delicious wisdom to share. Elena has taught yoga and meditation since 1999. Her first book, Art of Attention, has been translated into seven languages, and her second, Practice You Journal, is a bestseller. Her third book, Being You Journal, was released in early 2021. Elena has two books coming in 2023, Nurturing You Journal and Softening Time, a collection of her poetry.

Today, we are absolutely delighted to present to you an amazingly self made woman. Babita comes from one of those rare villages in modern life, so ubiquitous in the developing world with hard-baked Nepalese mud floors and kerosene burners for cooking. And, that is in fact, how Babita learned to cook by her grandfather’s side. Listen in amazement as she tells the story of how she became an art and film student studying in Minnesota, and now a Barnes and Nobles best selling cook book author. Babita Shrestha is a plant-based chef, photographer, graphic designer, and the author of 'Plant-based Himalaya.' As the oldest child of the family, it was her responsibility to cook and it quickly grew into a true passion. Later, as an entrepreneur, she started Vegan Nepal in Lexington, Kentucky in 2017. In 2019, Babita put her full focus on her passion project, a beautifully photographed cookbook titled “Plant-Based Himalaya”. Every recipe, photo, illustration, and even layout is of her own fabrication. Featuring 250 beautiful full-color photos, ‘Plant-Based Himalaya,’ is designed to inspire you to cook and eat exquisitely vegan home-style Nepali cuisine.

When Jeanne Heileman became a yoga teacher in 1996, there was no career for this field. She had the intention to teach once a week as a work supplement in the non-profit arts world to pay off her graduate school student debt. Three months after taking her first teacher training she found herself teaching 20 classes a week! A total life transformation that continued to evolve into her own style of yoga called Tantra Flow, which combines her 35 years of study in the practices and science of yogic disciplines, combining her love for asana, meditation, pranayama, mantra, Ayurveda, Buddhism, and Tantra in the living lineage of Sri Vidya, from Himalayan Institute under Swami Rama and Pandit Rajmani Tigunait. In this episode, we’re talking about what makes a good yoga teacher and some of the insights Jeanne has gained through her years of practicing under the guidance of many different teachers. Experience bring wisdom and Jeanne has a depth of perspective that is rare in teachers today. MY INNER CIRCLE MEMBERSHIP IS NOW OPEN!

Dear Happy Humans! It is with great pleasure that we introduce you today to an old friend, Gopi Kallayil! He’s an old friend of Russell’s. They met during his Silicon Valley yoga-missionary days during a very special dinner with Rep. Tim Ryan, “the Mindful Congressman,” at a time when it seemed that mindfulness and yoga would inevitably pervade every aspect of American life. Now though, Russell is a bit more bearish on the future of human civilization. Let’s see if Gopi can talk some sense in him! Gopi Kallayil is the Chief Evangelist, head of Digital Transformation and Strategy at Google. What that exactly means… We’re going to unpack it inside this episode! In addition to being an avid yoga practitioner and teacher, Gopi is a triathlete, public speaker, global traveler, and Burning Man devotee. He has spoken at TEDx, The World Happiness Summit, and Wisdom 2.0. He is the author of two books, “The Happy Human” and “The Internet to the Inner-net,” published by Hay House. He has released three music albums titled “Kirtan Lounge.” Gopi holds a guest faculty position at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business. He serves on the Board of Directors of Grameen Foundation, USA. He’s also a Board Advisor to several venture funded startups in Silicon Valley. MY INNER CIRCLE MEMBERSHIP IS NOW OPEN!

After 20+ years in any business or doing any practice, it’s easy to become cynical… But try taking the cynical view with our guest today, Amy Priya Santos. Ha! She’s having none of it. Listen and see how yoga is working. Simply put, Amy is a very nice person. She’s full of love and grace and encouragement. She’s full of music, dance, and being in a flow state. She embodies, in her self effacing way, Mystic moments of consciousness— a fully immersive state with no attachments to any sense of separate self or identity. Amy talks us through her childhood as an immigrant to this country from the Philippines to upstate NY, becoming found (or possibly losing herself) in the state of flow through her early years of dance. Becoming a yoga student in NY in the 90’s and then taking up music and forming a band. She became a follower and a devotee of Mata Amritanandamayi (Amma), “the Hugging Saint.” There couldn’t be a better metaphor for how nice Amy Priya is… We’re sure you’ll feel her energetic hug over the airwaves.MY INNER CIRCLE MEMBERSHIP IS NOW OPEN!

Michelle El Khoury is not only a wellness entrepreneur with a PhD and over twenty years of healthcare experience, but she’s also a wife and mother to three beautiful daughters. Her journey took her from Trinidad to the U.S, where she climbed the corporate ladder in a successful career as a pharmaceutical executive. All the while, becoming more aware as she grew up in America, how our society here is less of a creole melting pot and more like a segregated tiffin box. During her second pregnancy, she felt a strong desire to find a natural, therapeutic, way to make her birthing experience more pleasant, which led her at five months pregnant to step into her first yoga class (which coincidentally happened to be Ashtanga) at the YMCA. As she describes, “I asked the instructor if yoga was appropriate for me to try while I was pregnant. And she asked, “Can you breathe?” “Yes” I replied. “Well, then you are already doing yoga,” she responded. And I never forgot that.” From that moment on, something deep within Michelle changed. She began to experience the transformative effects of the practice, which inspired her to dedicate her life to sharing these teachings, and seven years later, she opened a healing space dedicated to bringing yoga to pregnant persons, children, and families. YogaMazia serves as a sanctuary for students to embrace their feminine energies and realize their inherent peace through the practice of yoga and their values of G.R.A.C.E - gratitude, respect, authenticity, community and equity. Michelle was named, along with Harmony and two other teachers, as Ambassador of the Year in 2022 for their work with Yoga Gives Back. Michelle also serves as a wellness educator with Integrative Health at Children’s Health of Philadelphia, and is a collaborating author of the book “We Rise in Power: Amplifying Women of Color and Her Voices for Change,” which will be released in March 2023.

Today we’re speaking with Sophie Cleere. A vibrant woman who’s paving the way forward to for middle-aged women everywhere. She’s a body-positive coach and conscious sexuality educator. Sophie’s on a mission to end body-shame and help women feel confident, sexy and alive, no matter what their age! After leaving behind her career as an Authorized Ashtanga yoga teacher, running a successful yoga business, Sophie recreated herself by reconnecting to her intuition and learning to listen more attentively to the signs and messages she was receiving from her body. She shares her wisdom with us today, and why she’s made female self-empowerment a pillar of her coaching practice. You’ll hear about her personal journey and some of the ways she works with clients to reclaim a connection with sensuality, and find freedom from society pressures to look younger or slimmer, while supporting them to step into the next chapter with a greater sense of confidence and beauty.

South African born, Tarin Calmeyer, is a Virtual Corporate Wellness Specialist. She’s the founder and chief wellness office of Los Angles-based company: Remote Team Wellness. We catch up with her living her dream life in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico! Today, we’re talking about the importance of taking time for self-care and some easy ways to improve your mental health. After traveling extensively as a young girl with her missionary parents, she moved to the U.S for for high school and immersed herself into becoming a professional dancer. However, that dream suddenly ended when she experienced a debilitating injury at a critical stage in her career. Tarin was forced to carve out her own path of healing turning to yoga and osteopathy, where she discovered a new passion for mind-body integration. Recognizing that the body has an innate ability to heal, she trained as an Osteopath herself. All of this has contributed to the work she’s doing now, consulting for huge, well-known companies such as Netflix, Meta (Facebook) and Cisco to support their employees’ mental health. She continues to promote remote wellness today.

Do you want to experience the next level of freedom? Then learn to merge your analytical brain with your intuition in a systematic way through syncing your life with your menstrual cycle. Learn to predict your energy so you can reliably know when it’s a “hell yes” or a “hell no!” Menstruation is a topic we seem to talk a lot about as Ashtanga yoga practitioners. Our personal “moon days” as women, whether to take rest, or practice, whether this is a misogynistic tradition or something truly helpful, is a long debated subject. But did you know that lifestyle, exercise, and productivity research is almost entirely based on what is optimal for male bodies. And you know what? The Yoga tradition is no different! In today’s episode we’re talking with Cycle-Syncing coach, Briana Villegas. We’re learning what benefits we might discover (as women), when we start to align our to-do list with our biologically driven energy shifts, so we can spend more time being in flow-state, rather than feeling trapped in hustle-culture. But this conversation isn’t only for women… You see, men will learn a lot too about their own hormonal cycling that happens over a 24 hour period and how to utilize the natural ups and downs of their energy each day. Social awareness around menstrual health is on the rise, but it’s not enough for the conversation to stop at normalizing symptoms. We have to learn to listen deeper to our innate wisdom. Briana Villegas has combine her background as a behavioral scientist and her personal experience with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), to create a powerful cycle-syncing formula. We’re so excited to share her wisdom and experience with you in this episode!

The last time Russell saw Kerri Kelly they were getting robbed together on Chamundi Hill outside of Mysore, India. For Russ it was the best trip he ever had to India. Imagine an episode of West Wing where one of the communications staffers working for Josh Lyman took a yoga side-trip while on an important diplomatic tour, and got stuck in India with no money, passport, or visa. No way to leave the country and no way to stay. “DONNA!!!” Listen to this #funnynotfunny tale, as Kerri and Russell pulled every string and lever they knew to get this staffer out of the country! Ten years later, Kerri has written an amazing book that speaks to our times Part of our self-care is how we talk care of one another. American Detox: The Myth of Wellness And How we can Truly Heal. What we understand to be wellness now, has become divorced from it’s origin, commodified, and sold as a luxury items that even the 99% struggle to afford. Wellness isn’t just self-care rituals, like yoga or meditation, but it’s a living wage, a home, food, and basic human needs. It’s not just what you buy in lululemon, it’s all the ways we fight and advocate for healthy living conditions, so that all can get what they truly need. “The myth of wellness is a lie. And until we learn to confront and dismantle its toxic systems, we can’t ever be well.” -Kerri Kelly The industry soars upwards of $650 billion a year, but we’re still isolated, insecure, and inequitable. “Wellness” isn’t making us well; it’s making us worse! It diverts our attention and holds us back from asking the questions that do help us heal: Who gets to be well in America? Who’s harmed--and who's left out? And what’s the real-life cost of our obsession with self-improvement? Join my Time Genius Mastermind & Bonus Half-Day Retreat when you join Marie Forloe's Time Genius before October 13th!

Kintsugi means “golden journey.” It’s the ancient Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by binding the pieces back together with lacquer mixed with powdered gold. As a philosophy, it treats the breakage and repair of something as part of the history of an object, rather than something to be disguised, discarded and forgotten. This is exactly what Mae Yoshikawa has courageously done with the pieces of her life’s story, time and time again. And what remains is the most exquisite work of art to behold. We dive into a discussion of what feminine spirituality looks like. Just as her inspiration, the late guru Sri Anandamayi Ma, our guest today, Mae Yoshikawa, also embodies this eternal nature of divine joy. One of the most pleasurable things about speaking with Mae, besides that ineffable joy mentioned above, is her acute insight into her own personality, and her own pain. She speaks eloquently about how much she embraces the delicious rudeness of the American side of her personality when speaking English; which is quite different from the modest, proper clarity that comes from speaking Japanese. And, how now she seeks to integrate the two sides of herself into one professional person of the world. Late in today’s episode, Mae speaks about her status as a widow and what that means for her as well (be sure to listen all the way… so not to miss both the beautiful and tragic events that broke her heart wide open). Her ability to recognize her suffering and orchestrate her healing, and then to unfurl that joy in her and in all of us, is an absolute inspiration to us humans. Mae is an author, yoga & meditation practitioner, teacher, and mother. In 2006, Mae became the first Japanese woman to be authorized by KPJAYI, the founding school of Ashtanga Yoga in India. Having graced 42 consecutive covers and penning a widely popular column for Japanese Yogini magazine from 2003~2013, Mae helped to spearhead a cultural shift in Japan—making sure that yoga would not be seen merely as physical exercise, but rather as a holistic practice and lifestyle that would restore health and balance to the busy lives of modern people. Currently, she is known as the face of adidas yoga as well as being the founder of vedatokyo.com, a premier online studio that offers yoga, zazen, and a variety of other wellness programs.

Kayoko was born in Tokyo as the country was rebuilding after WWII. She moved many times with her family to different parts of Japan, as her father was transferred to various jobs within the banking industry. She grew up in a very traditional Japanese family, which meant she intimately experienced the differences between how girls were treated compared with boys. For example, she explained her dismay to her mother as her brother was put in a far superior school then she was, and he mother simply said “this is the way it is.” In 2006, Kayoko became fascinated with yoga asana and philosophy. It occurred to her that she could use her abilities to help others. Her heart was calling her to reach the under-served women and children of India, those who lived in the motherland of her dear Yoga. In the beginning it started off as simply an idea of offering one yoga class to help raise money to support women and children in India. At the time, Kayoko had no idea that this tiny calling of her heart would expand and grow into a global movement that is now called “Yoga Gives Back.” Her passion to give voice to the voiceless has changed the lives of so many women and children, and birthed the mantra — “For the cost of one yoga class, you can change a life. “ After doing a documentary on Microfinancing with Dr. Muhammad Yunus, from Bangladesh (who was the winner of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize) she realized that if you give $10/month to women in India through small loans (which the traditional banking industry would never offer) you could not only change the life of the woman who received the money, but the future of her children, and her community, because she will employee other women, who will reinvest in their children. Now, her dream has become a non-profit organization called: Yoga Gives Back. It has supporting communities in over 30 different countries. Over the last 15 years, Yoga Gives Back has empowered over 2400 mothers and children in India. Their programs advance women’s rights and interrupt the cycle of poverty by empowering women and children in India with basic education, scholarships for higher education, and microloans for businesses. Buddha Nature is something Kayoko embodies and we are so happy to share her benevolence and abundantly open-heart with you here today! LAST CHANCE TO JOIN ANCIENT BREATHING 2.0!

We are delighted to introduce you to our dear friend Krista Shirley. Currently residing in Orlando, Florida, Russell met her years ago, while recruiting teachers for the Jois Foundation. Harmony insists she knew her first (and evidently all our friends knew Harmony first and better!) - LOL Krista is a voracious learner and she takes this infectious energy, AAA-type personality, to her whole life, business, motherhood, and Ashtanga yoga practice. If it can be said of anyone, it has never been more true when it comes to Krista: She embodies the energy of Wonder Woman. It’s always a shock for a lady like this to be confronted with a truly obliterating obstacle. Krista incurred a debilitating should injury. She tried many therapeutic interventions, nothing worked. She couldn’t lift her arm. She went through a series of seven surgeries in the time span of a year, which left her paralyzed by pain, and completely without any ability to practice the physical aspect of yoga. And so… What does one have left after that? Who are you? What are you? What’s next? In this episode, Krista answers all these questions and we find out so much more!

Kaitlyn Rose Holsapple believes that the body is our most sacred guide. Her work now is focused on helping others integrate their past pains so these hidden shadows no longer subconsciously drive the choices in life. As a Somatic Yoga Therapist, she helps clients connect with the innate, intuitive wisdom of the body. This wisdom is present in “every” body, and helps up to organically move stages of healing. Our guest today, Kaitlyn, is someone who recovered from PTSD as a result of being victimized by sexual assault. Prior to this she had always felt disassociated from her body, due to experiencing sexual abuse as a young child, which surfaced through her healing journey through yoga and somatic therapy. The steps she took on her own healing journey has informed her understanding that the path of personal integration can often feel confusing and dark. As a teacher of somatic yoga therapy, she knows intimately how we need experienced guides to help us shine light onto the painful shadow side of ourselves and many of those experiences we would rather not look at. We’re talking about sexuality, pleasure, intimacy, plant medicines, trauma, healing, and what it takes to become whole. SIGN UP FOR MY FREE 5-DAY ANCIENT BREATHING CHALLENGE!

Eventually escaping an abusive relationship with her two young boys in tow, she found strength in weight-training and emotional healing through her Ashtanga yoga practice. It wasn’t an easy road that guided her into leadership coaching and Human Design, but it was exactly the path she needed to develop an internal sense of ease and love for herself, which she now so skilfully offers to others.

If you thought you knew John and Julia Scott, you’re going to get a whole new look into their personalities here on our podcast today. You’ll hear about John Scott’s roots growing up in New Zealand and the similarities between clans, even from different parts of the world. Our conversation looks at how ancient rituals from different cultures effect us still to this day. We’re asking some difficult questions, like can anyone ever really teach you anything? And how can you claim your own sovereignty and self-responsibility? John talks about how when we’re in alignment with our natural selves we coexist with nature, but when we live from a place of ego we can’t help but destroy the planet. We need to stop ‘the doing’ and start ‘the being.’ We’re all programmed to be something, or do something, but this creates a sense of separateness. Like actors lost in playing a part and creating a separate reality we’ve lost site of who we truly are. What is the key to connecting back with our true self? The sound. If we can listen on a pure level, we will understand that everything is already perfect. Come sit with us by the proverbial campfire, as we tell stories and discuss philosophy, there is always something new to share… And we’re still learning. ❤ SIGN UP FOR MY FREE 5-DAY ANCIENT BREATHING CHALLENGE!

Born in India, growing up in Dubai, and then returning to India for college, our guest today might have a name that sounds like she’s from Europe, but she deeply connected in mind, body, and spirit to her native roots as a Christian-Muslim Indian. Some of our questions today are centered around how we can honour the roots and history of yoga while it’s become a global movement being absorbed into many different cultures and contexts. How do we keep yoga authentic, without becoming fanatical? We look at how different cultures make monuments (or not) to themselves and how as “Westerners” we approach things quite differently from the attitudes found in the East. Giving up her prestigious position as managing editor of Elle India, Sophia French left the modern city of Mumbai to go live in Mysore. Although she’s made it her mission to elevate and uplift traditional Indian culture, it’s people and voices, she, herself, is throwing off many of the cultural expectations that no longer support her feminist sensibilities, like making a conscious choice not to have children, or to live in common-law, unmarried for the past eleven years. These choices could be considered quite radical from a more orthodox cultural context; but as you’ll discover, Sophia is an embodiment of many divergent parts coming together in perfect harmony. Sophia is deeply devoted to the philosophy of Sanātana Dharma, translated as “the natural and eternal way to live" referring to universal and axiomatic laws that are beyond our limited, transient sectarian belief systems. It’s no wonder that she was drawn to Ashtanga yoga and Vipassana meditation and is passionate about preserving the authentic yoga teachings, while being inclusive and diverse, so that the practice and philosophy can belong to anyone who has a genuine interest in transformation. She tells us Dharma is a faith and it’s a way of life. But the deeper question is: Where does spirituality start and religion end?

Yoga is a journey of un-layering that we embark on again and again, each time we peel back another covering of our inner light the process of transformation takes place. It’s shedding the masks we wear to navigate our way in the world and place down the “airs and graces” we often take up to make ourselves feel superior to others. It is becoming who we truly are. More natural. More simple. More real. In this episode you’ll hear Philippa Asher and I peel back the layers of the Ashtanga yoga practice. As two of twenty Certified women who teach this method, we’re talking about unique issues that relate to female practitioners. We explore what it takes to become a Certified teacher? And what are some of the pitfalls, obstacles, and challenges you may encounter along the way. We touch upon the similarities between ballet and Ashtanga yoga, as well as what Philippa’s first trip to Mysore was like. You’ll find out what it was that continued to pull her back again and again, year after year, until she finally moved to India permanently, building a retreat centre in the jungle to host students of her own. After going through eight rounds of IVF and tragically miscarrying twins, Philippa has learned a lot about letting go, as well as when it’s most important to hold on. Philippa reminds listeners that Ashtanga yoga is actually a life choice. A state of being and a state of mind to help guide how you live your life. The practice is about so much more than simply collecting asanas, it includes the integration of all eight limbs into your day-to-day experience. Two years back, Philippa returned to London, England, and you can find her teaching students in person as well as in online classes, workshops, and retreats around the world. “If you want to speed up the process of yoga, slow down.” - Philippa Asher FIND OUT MORE ABOUT PHILLIPA WEBSITE I INSTAGRAM - https://ashtangaphilippa.com/ JOIN THE INNER CIRCLE MEMBERSHIP TO LISTEN TO BONUS EPISODES!

Our guest today is a lovely Elvish woman, who could’ve easily descended from a family of Wood Nymphs. Ellen Johannesen was born in Norway but has spent many years living abroad, mainly in India and Nepal. She was first introduced to yoga during her career as a professional dancer and has been teaching now for over 20 years. In 2002, she co-founded the first Ashtanga studio in Oslo, Norway, where she headed up the Mysore program. However, her time in India led to a growing interest in Buddhism, which brought her back to live and study for three years in Bylakuppe, at a Tibetan Monastery and Tibetan refugee settlement. She subsequently moved to Kathmandu where she became a Tibetan translator and earned a Masters degree in Buddhist studies and Himalayan Languages from Kathmandu University. During this time she founded the first Mysore program in the center of Kathmandu where she lived and taught for seven years. Ellen also studied Sanskrit, which was traditionally widely used among the Nepali Brahmin population and the Newar Buddhists. More recently, she has returned to Norway, but continues to take students on transformational retreats, where you can practice Ashtanga yoga and go trekking in the spiritual hub of the Himalayas. She loves sharing some of her favourite places around and beyond the Kathmandu valley, while introducing students to the sacred sites and natural beauty that is Nepal.

PART 2 with Dominic Corigliano A "Trance State" is a state of semi-consciousness in which a person is not self-aware and is either altogether unresponsive to external stimuli. It is also a state of mind that we can enter into through Yoga Practice. We're talking about Trance States with Dominic Corigliano in this Part 2 continuation of our Part 1 (Episode 65 - Listen on iTunes) conversation. Whether you call it an auto-hypnotic state or a trance state, yoga can be used as a technique that we use to change the mind's ability to filter information, which can result in a more efficient use of the mind's resources. This form of self-hypnosis, or "Trance-like" experiences, is probably a state you're familiar with if you've ever been so absorbed in an activity, like yoga, that it actually takes a moment or two to reorient yourself back into the existing time-space continuum. This is a beautifully deep and honest conversation had between old friends, who love and admire one another, and here we are inviting you into this intimate setting to sit with us. Spending time with Dominic will transform your understanding of the practice of Ashtanga yoga. His perspective is absolutely unique and spans many generations. We feel this conversation is also relevant to shifting sands in culture right now in the context of empowering women to continue speaking out, using their voice, claiming their power, and not standing down in the face of oppression or abuse.
