Life On Earth Podcast

In this episode, we are honored to host Jesse Schein, a revered yoga teacher with 25 years of experience in both practicing and teaching yoga. Jesse's journey includes completing her teacher training under renowned instructors Maty Ezraty, Lisa Walford, and Chuck Miller at YogaWorks. She has led numerous 200-hour and 300-hour teacher trainings, workshops, and international retreats, and has even starred in the reality TV show "Yoga Girls." Described by L.A. Yoga as "hilarious, honest, straightforward, witty, intelligent, and deeply passionate about yoga," Jesse is known for embracing the complete practice of yoga—not just the asana. Her teaching philosophy centers on making yoga accessible to everyone, adapting the practice to individual needs, and creating an environment of curiosity, presence, exploration, effort, and joy. Inspired by Maty Ezraty's wisdom, Jesse believes, “The Yoga poses never change, you do. Thus, your relationship with the poses and the practice changes.” Her motto, "Do You, Be You," encourages authenticity and individual expression in practice, allowing each student to find their unique path in yoga. Join us for an incredible conversation exploring life and all things yoga, both on and off the mat. Enjoy the episode and discover the wisdom and warmth of an incredible teacher and friend.

Our guest today is Raghunath who has so much wisdom to share. He is a long-time yogi, spiritual teacher, musician, podcaster,and co-founder of Supersoul School and Farm. A teen in search of meaning, Ray Cappo fled his suburban Connecticut enclave for New York City — and found community among the misfits of Manhattan's Lower East Side. He fell in love with punk rock, so he started a band, Youth of Today,and a record label. Success soon followed. By the late 1980's, his bandhad thousands of fans, cementing Ray as a leading voice and trendsetter at the bullseye of hardcore culture. At the age of 22, he experienced a spiritual awakening and traveled to India to become a monk. After 6 and a half years, he began another successful band. 20 years ago, Nathalie and Raghunath met while they both worked at YogaWorks in Los Angeles. He never planned to become a teacher, but was always fascinated by spiritual openness. After moving to L.A., he realized he didn't want to be a musician anymore, but yoga was a passion of his. He was asked to sub as a teacher,and his teaching journey began from there. After all this time, what does yoga mean for Raghunath? In the past, he was always interested in alternative lifestyles and clean living, but he never approached yoga as a specific way to “fix” one thing. It was always a search for spirituality. Now, yoga isn't the whole meal, rather it is the condiment for larger feasts of the soul. We are spiritual beings that have a soul. The goal of yoga is knowledge of the Self. Who are you underneath your ego self? Underneath all the trappings of the false self, who is the true you? The body is a gift, but it is not all we are. All aspects of yourself need to be nurtured.

Today we are joined by Tarini Menezies and Roxann DeSouza, graduates of the Shanti Yoga Training School and currently based in India. Tarini and Roxanne are here to discuss what we can do as a community to step up and help India, giving back, and what yoga means to them today. Tarini and Roxann are yoga teachers based in Mumbai. Tarini was brought to yoga by her high-stress job in law. For Tarini, yoga is a way to channel anxiety and stress in a more helpful way. For Roxanne, this past year yoga has been a way to cope with anxiety for both old and new practitioners. When the pandemic started in India in January 2020, much like everywhere else, people didn't think it would be a big deal. Within a few weeks the country was in a lockdown that lasted for months. In January of 2021, the country started slowly opening up again. Since then, things have taken a drastic turn for the worse. Cases began increasing at a drastic rate, with variant cases appearing more often and more aggressively. There was also a huge increase in children and young people getting sick, along with people getting COVID-19 for the second time.  Yoga is about mindfulness - bring that mindfulness outside of yourself to the greater world and give back. Here are 3 NGOs that are doing great covid relief work in India suggested by Raxann and Tarini.

Tapping into the Aquarian Technology with GLACCE. Intention & Action paired together are powerful tools. Today we are joined by Sharon Leslie and Julia Schoen, the founders of Glacce. They make crystal water bottles designed to infuse your hydration with intention. Glacce began in 2015 when Sharon came up with the idea for the bottle in a dream. Both Sharon and Julia have always been interested in the left-handed path, magic, and finding their own place in life. Therefore, when this idea appeared, it was a clear message to build it. Beginning as a vision to create a portable crystal elixir, Glacce has expanded into multiple luxury sustainable tools and containers for water. The two met when they were 5, and Julia believes they were destined to be soul family. They grew up together exploring magic and playing witches in Julia’s treehouse. Mentors advised against them partnering in business, but they both knew it was what they wanted. There is a baseline understanding between them that they truly want the best for each other in every aspect. Just like how every person has a different and unique energy, so do crystals. By setting intentions into a specific crystal and immersing it in water, the water is absorbing that energy which is transferred to you whenever you drink. You are supercharging your life. Magic doesn’t have to be strived for; it’s always happening. It’s important to know and understand your own relationship with your crystals to amplify the energy and your experience with them.

Rebecca Rebouche is an American painter, writer, filmmaker, and entrepreneur known for her decade-long collaboration with international retailer Anthropologie and her large-scale paintings of allegorical family trees. John James Audubon meets Frida Kahlo in a Chagall dreamscape, her work is here to tell the story of us that we didn’t know needed telling. Her surreal naturalistic paintings paired with her intuitive journaling have drawn not only collectors but enthusiasts to her work, resulting in a model of artful living celebrated in The New York Times, Garden & Gun, Anthology Magazine, Madame Air France Magazine and The Great Discontent.     Rebecca Rebouche is a New Orleans-based artist. She describes herself as “in service to tenderness, to people’s base humanity, and their highest rapture. "I clear my energy to create, to receive, to be in the exchange.” Whether she was drawing the backs of people’s heads in church or doodling in school, Rebecca’s talent was encouraged. She went on to study Fine Art and Graphic Design at college. After graduating, she worked in advertising before realizing she could be a full-time artist in her own right. Knowing what she wanted to do from an early age was a blessing and a curse. Creativity and being artistic was always the connecting thread in everything she did. It just took time to hone the method of expression. Rebecca feels like she has built her own language using art. Art in any form is a way of communicating with the universe what gives you life energy and joy. As a self-represented artist, Rebecca takes so much joy in planning her shows and exhibitions. It is about focusing energy on putting together and telling a story. When it comes to her creative process, Rebecca approaches it in a way that works for her natural ebbs and flows. She creates when she feels creative and doesn’t force it when she is not in the flow of creativity.   Connect with Rebecca and check out her work: https://www.rebeccarebouche.com/, https://www.instagram.com/rebeccarebouche/ IG @rebeccarebouche  Join Rebecca in New Orleans for her new collection and show October 19th, 2021 at the New Orleans Botanical Gardens.    Deepen your yoga practice on and off the yoga mat.

Martha Soffer is an Ayurvedic guru and Founder of Surya Spa. She utilizes a system of practical and easy self-care, helping everyone attain balance and wellness through healing retreats, restorative beauty, wellness, and food products, as well as educational guidance and support. For years, Martha worked in computer science. After a rough break up, Martha had the opportunity to study transcendental meditation, and fell in love with the benefits. It was a life changing event 31 years ago that set her on the path she is on now - a path of healing and helping others. At Surya Spa, Martha practices Ayurvedic Panchakarma, a way of purging toxins from the body. Using what nature provides, Martha creates herbal treatments that are tailored to what each person needs. It’s commonly a 7-day process because there are 7 tissues that are worked on during the experience. Panchakarma focuses on doshas, influenced by our environments, nutrition, and even location. Martha explains the 3 doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) and what will be beneficial or detrimental for each person. For women, Martha wants you to embrace your womanhood. Later, Martha and Nathalie discuss what you should be doing during a cleanse, connecting to the planet, and how you can begin with Panchakarma.

Bio ---> Dayle Breault is an internationally recognized Holistic Esthetician for the last 33 years. She has trained around the world with the industry's top educators. Because of her relationship with her celebrity clientele, Dayle has worked in the desert of Siwa, Egypt, the Fashion Capital of Paris, and every metropolitan city of the US.

Her passion in skin care is vast. And creating a more holistic approach has enabled her to take her work from cosmetic to a more internal emotional support.  On LIFE ON EARTH Podcast ---> Dayle joins us today to discuss her background as a holistic esthetician, creating feel good natural products, and integrating energy healing and moon cycles into her practice. Goddess of Skin began in 2004, and Dayle soon realized that making her products incorporate mantras made them much more effective for her clients. Everything Dayle makes is small batch and made with intention. When the pandemic came, Dayle felt like she had lost her business and her identity. She realized she could take the time in lockdown to look inward and work on personal development. She gained her fourth attunement in Reiki, learned about breathwork, and worked on what she could do for her clients outside of the physical body.

Veronica Ciandre is creator of high vibration jeweler line iSOLA. Designed to help your body re-harmonize with its natural frequencies, iSOLA aims to help you bring wellness with you wherever you go. Veronica joins Nathalie today to discuss her experiences with frequencies, how they affect her and how you can protect yourself if you share her sensitivity. Back in 2010, the building that Veronica lived in had 25 cell towers installed on the roof, 10 of which were right above her apartment. Within a short amount of time, Veronica started experiencing a myriad of physical symptoms. She had symptoms of insomnia, dizziness and headaches. The symptoms continued and within 6 months developed into symptoms of chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, Parkinson’s, arthritis, tremors, and more. After going on a camping trip to re-wild herself, she experienced an alleviation of symptoms, only to find them return when she came home. After extensive research and investigation by Dr. Magda Havass, Veronica came to the realization that it was the frequencies that affected her. Veronica uses affirmations to help her stay focused and to talk to her own DNA. The power of using affirmations everyday and practicing gratitude for that which is good has been a driving force in her life.

In today’s conversation, John Strickler, Nathalie’s partner, here to dive into non-violence and exploring the meaning of ahimsa. For John, ahimsa means non-violence against yourself, others, animals, and the Earth. The Earth is our home and should be respected and treated with reverence, not polluted and destroyed. If you see something out of place, something wrong, it is your responsibility to speak up and take action. Learning self-love is a process, and there will be times where you honor yourself and times when you don’t. It is important to remember that we are all works in progress. Everyone has a dharma or purpose, and some have many. John believes we are born with our purpose but that it takes time and work to discover it. Nathalie brings the conversation full circle back to self-love and the differences between how feminine and masculine perspective changes the experience of self-love. To end the episode, John offers advice for grounding yourself and giving yourself grace, and the two discuss the new addition to their household.

Josh Biro is the Founder of The Yogapreneur Collective and Head Coach at Nomad Business Coaching, a consulting company that helps yoga studio owners systematize their businesses for more profit and peace of mind. He joins Nathalie today to discuss time management, nomadic lifestyles, and viewing health as a totality. Josh begins today’s discussion by explaining The Yogapreneur Collective and how he helps others in the yoga industry by creating community. He discovered yoga later in life even though he comes from a yoga family. He went from becoming a teacher, to helping others with their studios, to opening his own studio with his wife. They ultimately sold the business and have spent the last 6 years travelling the world with their 3 children. If you are feeling discouraged as a small business owner by the events of the past year, Josh offers some advice. Clarify your vision and step into your fear. If you are trying something new, you are bound to be nervous. Learn to schedule your life (even your time off) and live by your schedule. Look at where you are going and what needs to happen to get you there. To end the episode, Josh takes us through his morning routine and how he combines physicality with meditation. If you are looking to start a health journey this year, do what makes you feel happy and grounded. You can always do something, no matter where you are.

Today we are discussing the yoga sutra of Pratipaksha Bhavana, the concept of opposites. It states “when disturbed by negative thoughts, opposite ones should be thought of.” Nathalie discusses how to practice Pratipaksha Bhavana, the power of contemplation, and coming back to yourself. Pratipaksha Bhavana can be used when you are in a state of emotional turbulence to help you release painful and destructive emotions. If you can practice this, it can help you reach a higher place spiritually. It is easier said than done to set aside those feelings. Over time, we become psychologically and neurologically habituated to the experience. Removing yourself from the situation can help you with that release and offer perspective. The practice of Pratipaksha Bhavana is about contemplation of the opposite. Ask yourself if you are addicted to the sensations negative emotions produce. If so, ask yourself if you really need to be connected to extremes all the time. Feel your breath and focus on your body. Consistent practice and dedication are the foundation of all yoga. Love, peace, and harmony are the natural states of our souls and through practice you can align. With continuous work and curiosity, you can learn how to come back to yourself.

In today’s special episode, Nathalie joins Valeria Teles on the Fit for Joy podcast. Together they discuss Nathalie’s journey, how manifesting change begins, and the importance of taking responsibility for the planet we call home. Nathalie sees herself as a citizen of the world. Always moving and travelling when she was younger meant that her world has always been diverse. For others, that isn’t always the case. To overcome judgemental behaviours, look to the conditioning and perimeters set upon you. Dismantle them and learn to live in acceptance and others. Discussing her book, Living Life with Light, Nathalie tells us how it is an expression of her journey and learnings in the many aspects of healing. When looking to change and heal, she reminds us that everyone has a different story and seeks validation. Ask your questions to the universe and know that you will receive the answers you need for your growth. For Nathalie, love cannot begin without a deep love of your self first. Look inward and forgive yourself. Let go of what holds you back from unconditional love and give yourself grace. Nothing in this life is certain, only that everything changes. Open yourself to the flow and let the Universe guide you.   Connect with Valeria and the Fit for Joy podcast https://fitforjoy.org https://twitter.com/Fitforjoylife https://business.facebook.com/thefitforjoylife https://www.instagram.com/thefitforjoylife/   www.shantiyogatrainingschool.com Join Nathalie's Friday Highlights HERE  www.livinglifeinlight.com IG @shantiyogatrainingschool @nathaliecroix

Pedro Valente has been honouring the jujutsu tradition his entire life. Along with his brothers, Pedro runs The Valente Brothers Jiu-Jitsu Self Defense School in Florida. He joins Nathalie today to discuss the philosophy of jujutsu, tradition, and finding and accepting the flow of life. Pedro and his brothers began learning the art when they were young from their father, and by world renowned Jiu-Jitsu grandmasters Hélio Gracie, who founded the self-defence martial art system of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. At age 18, Pedro moved from Brazil to the US to attend the University of Miami School of Business Administration. Growing up, Pedro always knew that jujutsu would be a part of his life. The philosophy of jujutsu is as important as the practice, if not more, to Pedro. It can be applied to daily life and helps to build self confidence and self esteem. By building confidence in your physical abilities, you are building your self esteem and changing your perspective of yourself. You are seeing yourself with true worth. It is important to accept the flow of life and try not to resist change. Jujutsu roughly translates to ‘the art of flexibility’. Resisting life and it’s changes only adds friction and stops focus. Cultivate balance and be open to change. The world needs more confidence; insecurity only breeds conflict.   Connect with Pedro https://valentebrothers.com https://www.instagram.com/valentebrothers/ https://www.youtube.com/user/ValenteBrothersTV https://www.facebook.com/ValenteBrothers/ https://twitter.com/ValenteBrothers   Find Pedro’s Ted Talk here - The Enemy Within   www.shantiyogatrainingschool.com Join Nathalie's Friday Highlights HERE  www.livinglifeinlight.com IG @shantiyogatrainingschool @nathaliecroix

Cory Sterling is a lawyer, owner of Conscious Counsel law firm, author and yoga teacher. He joins Nathalie today from his new home in Brazil to discuss making law fun, helping people with yoga businesses avoid legal complications and the importance in building transparent relationships. With his book, ‘The Yoga Law Book: Legal Essentials for Yoga Professionals,’ Cory wanted to help people in the yoga space have a greater awareness of the legalities of business. One of the main concepts he discusses in the book is the practice of shoshin, or having a beginner’s mind. At any moment you can stop and re-evaluate life and see things anew. You can choose to see things fresh, change perspectives and be present at any time. This leads Cory to discuss relationships. In life and business, relationships are everything. By having strong, transparent relationships you are creating and opening lines of communication and building trust. This allows both sides to have aligned expectations. Practicing what he has named heart-leading law, Cory tells us the origin of his philosophy and how he brought his message to a wider audience through speaking at Wanderlust in Hawaii. This led to opening his own practice and allowed him the privilege of being able to choose his clients. To finish the episode, Cory and Nathalie talk about Conscious Counsel and Cory’s mission to make law a more fun and accessible medium. Try and be appreciative in the moment, be present and be conscious.   Connect with Cory - https://www.consciouscounsel.ca and http://www.yogalegal.com IG @consciouscounsel  Find Cory’s book – The Yoga Law Book: Legal Essentials for Yoga professionals   This episode is brought to you by Shanti Yoga Training School Ready to bring your yoga practice and teachings to the next level?

Daria is a long-time friend of Nathalie as well as a yoga and meditation teacher who recently traveled to India for a 10-day Vipassana - meditation retreat. In today’s episode, she will share her monumental experiences with us. After the conversation, Daria treats us to a special 30-minute Vipassana meditation session. Daria explains why she felt called to travel to India, specifically to the Dalai Lama’s hometown, to expand on her yoga and spiritual teachings. We hear about how temporarily giving up all of her belongings at the temple helped her to truly reconnect with herself. Given Daria’s Russian background, she tells us how she began to get into yoga in Russia as a teenager and what sparked her future calling. Nathalie dives into common questions asked by newbie meditators, so Daria gives us her answers and advice. The 30-minute meditation will include three main steps: breathing exercises, primary meditation, and a metta (wishes for welfare and happiness) practice. Find a quiet, relaxing space where you can sit undisturbed and find a position you will be comfortable in for the full half-hour meditation. Refresh, replenish, and relax your mind and body alongside Daria. www.meditatewithdaria.com IG @dariarubets www.shantiyogatrainingschool.com Join Nathalie's Friday Highlights HERE  www.livinglifeinlight.com IG @shantiyogatrainingschool @nathaliecroix www.nathaliecroix.com  

Chioma Njoku is a successful financial coach and yoga teacher based out of Chicago, Illinois who is all about mindset, spirituality, and of course, money. She currently works with individuals and is looking to expand into working with groups in the future. Chioma tells us her background and how she went from the world of corporate accounting into fully embracing the power and spirituality of being a yoga teacher. Limited beliefs are a huge factor for many people when it comes to finances. Chioma discusses how she broke through her own limited beliefs and now manifests money on a daily basis. Furthermore, Chioma helps others to achieve the same by challenging their own beliefs and discovering their “money story.” Surrounding yourself with people who share the same financial views and goals as you can help reinforce your positive money vibes. Seasons have a purpose and signify regrowth. Nathalie asks how someone that is struggling to find their value can get clear on their purpose, and Chioma shares her tips and insights. The topic of money should be more normalized and we should be comfortable enough to talk about it as though it’s not a big deal. “Master Your Money” is Chioma’s masterclass that combines mindset and skillset to bring some peace around finances to help you to enjoy your life and hard-earned money.   Connect with Chioma: www.themindfulbookkeeper.com/ Instagram: @mindfullychioma www.facebook.com/mindfullychioma   www.shantiyogatrainingschool.com Join Nathalie's Friday Highlights HERE  www.livinglifeinlight.com IG @shantiyogatrainingschool @nathaliecroix www.nathaliecroix.com

Have you ever wondered if you are an emotional eater? Many of us run to food as a crutch. In this episode we will explore the many levels on which emotional eating can show up in your life.  Jessica Procini is a nutritionist and a life coach. She joins Nathalie today to talk about the struggles of emotional eating, identifying its roots, and immune-boosting tips to follow during COVID-19. Jessica had always struggled in her relationship with food without knowing the reason why. For 20 years she emotionally ate, even while going through nutritionist school, until she identified herself as an emotional eater. Jessica discusses how, after 10 years of research, she has overcome her issues with food and formed a proven method for others to deal with emotional eating. Many people, like Jessica, have issues surrounding food and often don’t know why. We’ve all tried diet and exercise plans that don’t stick or just plain don’t work. Jessica discusses the 4 roots of emotional eating, and how identifying what and why we are eating can help build a foundation of understanding, and can lead you to see how your relationship with food echoes other relationships in your life. With stress at an all time high for many people right now, there is no better time for introspection and discovery. Taking those first steps into change is always difficult, but now is the time to let go of your food guilt and plan for a healthier tomorrow. Be Well! Stay Healthy!

Denise Milfort is a model, actress, and wellness expert. She joins us for a third time in this episode where she and Nathalie discuss strengthening your immune system, dealing with COVID-19, and making healthy choices.  Denise almost never gets sick, which she credits to her strong immune system from a proper diet and self-care. She finds that cloves and blackseed oil are very helpful for your upper respiratory system. It is important that you believe these things will help you because even if it is the placebo effect, it is a very strong effect.  We are all dealing with the effects of social isolation due to COVID-19. Denise shares her feelings on being isolated and how she overcame her negative thoughts. You have to accept the situation for what it is and focus on harvesting the good, as there is always good in any situation. During this time, you can work on improving yourself and your relationships. If you have a partner, find a new connection with them. If you are single, it is a good time to go within yourself. This is the perfect time to make healthy choices because we have all the time in the world. Spend more time on your meals, make things at home that you normally wouldn’t, and make them healthier. Now more than ever it is important for us to eat healthy.  Join Our Membership Program LIGHT CODE & YACEP HERE  Offerings : yoga - distance healing - presentations - meditations - yoga nidra - resources - network - mentorship - livestreams - members portal  Connect with Denise -https://www.instagram.com/denisemilforthttps://www.facebook.com/denisemilfort Check out the previous episodes with Denise - Listen to #4 Nathalie meets Denise Milfort in Hollywood For An Inspirational Talk On : Healthy Living, Positivity, Gratitude, And Beauty. from Life On Earth Podcast on Apple Podcasts.

Joan Hyman, world class yoga retreat leader, yoga teacher, and teacher trainer joins us today. Joan has been practicing yoga for over 25 years, starting as a group teacher and moving on to teacher training. She and Nathalie discuss her jump into traveling the world, how she keeps herself inspired, as well as Joan’s perspective on current events.  Joan started teaching yoga in LA but now teaches all over the world. She discusses how her first trip to India planted the travel seed within her and introduced her to a very international network. Joan explains how she feels like her soul expands when she is in an unknown place and the many benefits of travel. Burnout on the road is a very real thing. Many people want to “bring their house with them to India,'' Joan explains, but there is a humbleness in India not felt in Western culture she believes everyone can learn from. Nathalie and Joan discuss the importance of adapting to a local culture and how Joan is able to keep herself inspired when travel becomes difficult. Nathalie and Joan discuss the current state of the world with regards to COVID-19. Many people have experienced a loss of work from the virus and each of us has a responsibility to stay healthy and not spread sickness.   Connect with Joan:Website: http://www.joanhyman.com/yoga/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joanhyman/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Joanhymanyoga/ Join Nathalie's Friday Highlights HERE  Become a LIGHT CODE + YACEP Member today and have full access to our portal with so much to offer, meditations, healings, yoga philosophy, practices to heal body, mind and spirit + monthly live zoom calls, Q&A's, and lot's of surprises.

She talks about the importance of cultivating love for yourself before you are able to properly give that love to others. Lots of us think we have good spiritual ideals, but until we have really met ourselves, we don’t have that capacity to help one another.  We all experience hardship on our journeys. Julie sees these hardships as Sacred Moments, and whether it be a death, illness, financial trouble, or anything in between, Julie shares how important these moments are in realizing who you are and what your journey is. There is no one way to enlightenment.  Oh and check out Damanhur !
