In this week's episode, we are delving into the practice of looking for the good, for seeking the delightful, because it is good for your body, mind, and soul. "Looking for the Good" is a practice I learned in my Anusara Teacher Training back in NYC in 2003. Listen as I share a funny story that proved delightfully inspiring to my students (hint: it involves a pigeon and the Port Authority Bus Terminal). I also talk about how much I love "The Book of Delights," by author/poet Ross Gay.

Barrie's expertise and insights have been recognized in esteemed publications such as Yoga Journal, Yoga International, and Elephant Journal. Together, they delve into the profound notion that our yoga practice extends beyond mere structural alignment, encompassing the intricate balance of our body, mind, and spirit through an elemental approach.Barrie introduces the idea that as we attain a harmonious equilibrium within ourselves, we gain clarity about our core values, our purpose in the world, and our true selves. With time, a remarkable shift occurs, propelling us to transcend our individual identity and realize our profound connection to the web of life, the cycles of nature, and the vast intelligence permeating the universe. Ultimately, we come to understand that we are not separate entities but an integral part of Mother Nature herself.Key Points Explored in the Podcast:·        Yoga as a Path to Natural Harmony: Barrie and Amy engage in a discussion on how the practice of yoga can bring us closer to the natural world, profoundly influencing our sense of self, wisdom, resilience, strength, and awe. By aligning ourselves with the elemental forces of nature, we deepen our connection to the world around us.·        Unveiling the Face of Supreme Consciousness: Barrie introduces the concept of Sakti, the embodiment of supreme consciousness. This powerful insight serves as a reminder of the profound spiritual nature of our existence, intertwining the physical and metaphysical realms.·        Sacred Moments in Nature: Communing with the natural world allows us to experience sacred moments that can be revisited during times of anxiety or despondency. Barrie emphasizes the significance of these moments as a source of solace and rejuvenation.·        The Power of Reflective Practices: Barrie highlights the transformative potential of reflective practices such as journaling and receptive listening. These practices enable us to delve deeper into ourselves, fostering self-awareness, and facilitating personal growth.·        Embracing Grief and Collective Suffering: The hosts explore how to navigate personal and collective grief amidst the current state of the world and humanity's suffering. Barrie offers a heartfelt breathing practice to help us embrace and move through our grief, allowing it to flow rather than remaining stagnant within us.·        The Work That Reconnects: Amy and Barrie discuss the profound work of Joanna Macy called "The Work That Reconnects." This framework offers a transformative path to engage with the interconnectedness of life, guiding individuals to find meaning, purpose, and empowerment in the face of the world's challenges.Join Amy and Barrie in this thought-provoking episode of The Yoga Therapy Hour as they unravel the intrinsic link between our yoga practice, the natural world, and our interconnectedness with all living beings.

Welcome to Episode #81 of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast! My conversation with Nathalie Bittar, a yoga teacher and the first yoga studio owner from Sudan, was enthralling as we took a deep dive into yoga as a complementary practice, not a competitive practice to religion. I hope that this conversation expanded your perception of how yoga can be a space for community, trust, and safety and how yoga can help you individually, and a community as a whole, shed defenses, shed armor, and help trauma to move through. If you're looking to tune into a podcast episode that is all about yoga in Sudan then this is the conversation for you. Support the podcast: https://www.patreon.com/wildyogatribe Tell me more about Nathalie Bittar  Nathalie Bittar opened the first yoga studio in the capital city of Khartoum in Sudan in 2008, named Blue Nile Lotus. She is trained in Vinyasa Yoga, Tibetan Heart Yoga, Anusara yoga and Jivamurkti yoga and more. With over 1,000 hours of training, she can't get enough yoga. Nathalie also leads yoga teacher trainings in Sudan, and leads yoga retreats worldwide. She is also a psychotherapist in Core Process Psychotherapy. For the skimmers - What's in the yoga in Sudan episode? Experiencing 9/11 first-hand and coming to yoga at that time in her life Shedding defenses, armor, and trauma through yoga The political unrest in Sudan and how yoga helps the Sudanese heal and move through trauma How and why yoga resonates with the Sudanese Advice for the next generation of yoga retreat leaders What to expect in the Yoga In Sudan episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast Nathalie was working and living in New York City when 9/11 happened. In fact, she worked in the towers. Not the ones that fell— the one across the street. She had just begun practicing yoga that same year, and kept going to practice throughout that time of enormous trauma and turmoil. Yet, as the practice healed her, it still felt like a mystery. That led Nathalie to do her first yoga teacher training, and she decided to move back to Sudan to open the first yoga studio in her country in 2008. We talked about what it was like for her to open the first yoga studio in Sudan, and if there was any pushback. She expressed fears about the police shutting it down or disturbing the classes, but fortunately, that never happened. We also talked about what a difficult time it has been in the last few years for Sudan, with overthrowing the government in April 2019 and just over 2 years later a military coup taking place in October 2021. Nathalie shared with us how has yoga helped her community during this time of turmoil. As Nathalie leads yoga retreats not just in Sudan, but worldwide, we also delved into what advice she has to offer to yoga teachers who are one day hoping of leading yoga retreats themselves. As Nathalie conveyed, always have a plan and always have an eraser!  This was a beautiful conversation about trauma, safety, trust, shedding defenses, and how healing can happen on and off the mat, in and outside of the studio, all with, through, and by… yoga!

Welcome to the latest episode of the Yogalebrity podcast, where I had the honor and pleasure of interviewing John Friend, an accomplished yoga teacher with years of experience in the field of yoga. In this episode, we delve into John's personal journey and explore how he discovered his passion for yoga. John shares his insights on the various yoga traditions he has studied, and the teachers who have influenced his practice. From there, we get a glimpse into John's current work as a yoga teacher, including his approach to teaching and the benefits of practicing yoga regularly. John doesn't shy away from the controversy of Anusara yoga and shares his experience during his departure from Anusara. We openly discuss the state of the world and true yoga philosophy around how the yoga community has chosen to react to the events of 2020 and forward. Throughout the podcast, John offers valuable tips and advice for anyone looking to deepen their yoga practice or become a yoga teacher themselves. You won't want to miss this insightful conversation with one of the most respected yoga teachers in the world. To learn more about John Friend and his work, check out his website at https://www.bowspring.com. Enjoy this incredible episode of the Yogalebrity podcast and stay tuned for more exciting conversations in the future! John Friend is an American yoga teacher who was born on February 5, 1959, in Houston, Texas. He is widely known for creating Anusara yoga, a popular style of yoga that emphasizes alignment and the heart-opening qualities of yoga. Friend began his yoga practice in 1970 at the age of 11, when his mother introduced him to yoga. He continued to practice and study yoga throughout his teenage years and into his adulthood, eventually becoming a certified Iyengar yoga teacher in 1984. In 1997, Friend founded Anusara yoga, which quickly gained popularity among yoga practitioners in the United States and around the world. Anusara yoga is known for its emphasis on alignment, its use of heart-opening postures, and its focus on connecting with the divine. Friend continued to teach and promote Anusara yoga throughout the 2000s, leading workshops and teacher trainings around the world. However, in 2012, controversy erupted when allegations of inappropriate conduct by Friend and other senior Anusara teachers were made. In response, Friend resigned from his position as leader of Anusara yoga and took a hiatus from teaching. He returned to teaching in 2016 with a new approach to yoga, which he calls "The Roots" or Bowspring emphasizing the importance of alignment and breath in a more grounded and non-dogmatic way. Today, Friend continues to teach and promote yoga, and has written several books on the practice, including "The Art of Anusara Yoga" and "The Roots." Despite the controversy surrounding his past, Friend remains a highly respected and influential figure in the world of yoga, and his contributions to the practice continue to be felt by students and teachers alike.

Anusara Yoga wurde 1997 in den USA gegründet. Basierend auf der Biomechanik des Körpers bietet Anusara Yoga eine effektive Methode zur strukturellen Ausrichtung. Diese ermöglicht ein optimales und therapeutisches Arbeiten mit der individuellen Anatomie. Das Ziel ist, den Übenden dabei zu unterstützen, mehr Wertschätzung und Verständnis für sich selbst zu entwickeln. Neben einer gesunden Ausrichtung in den Asanas, liegt das Augenmerk auf dem Aspekt der Herzöffnung, denn der Stil ist in einer tantrischen Philosophie der inneren Güte begründet. Warum das so wichtig ist, erklärt Expertin Barbra Noh im YogaWorld Podcast. Barbra erzählt von ihrem Yogaweg und warum sie sich genau auf Anusara spezialisiert hat. Sie beschreibt den Stil in seinen Grundzügen und erklärt die dahinter stehende Tantra-Philosophie. Dann geht Barbra auf die fünf Hauptprinzipien der Ausrichtung ein, die Anusara Yoga einzigartig machen und verrät, wieso sie diese für genial hält. Außerdem beschreibt Barbra, worum es im Skandal um Anusaragründer John Friend ging, und äußert klar ihre Meinung zu den Vorfällen. Dabei ist ihr wichtig zu betonen, dass sexuelle Beziehungen von Lehrenden und Schüler*innen nicht automatisch Machtmissbrauch bedeuten müssen, sondern durchaus auch einvernehmlich zwischen Erwachsenen entstehen können. https://barbranohyoga-akademie.de/ https://www.barbranohyoga.com/ https://yogaworld.de/

Līva first came to yoga around 15 years ago when she was seeking a deeper, more fulfilling physical practice. She found Hatha yoga and Anusara yoga first, and then came to Ashtanga vinyasa yoga, which has been an integral part of her life ever since. In ashtanga vinyasa yoga system her main teacher is Lino Miele and she has attended his retreats in India and also in Europe. In 2012, Līva decided it was time to do a yoga teacher training in Riga, Latvia as she still continue her work as a full-time lawyer. She began teaching at a local studio occasionally in the evenings, and after experiencing deep dissatisfaction in her career, she took a year off to go backpacking in New Zealand and completed a yin yoga teacher training with Markus Henning Giess and Karin Michelle Sang. Upon her return to Riga, Latvia, Līva learned that a yoga studio owner was selling her studio, and that is how she became the owner of Riga's Urban Yoga studio. She is a full-time teacher there, as well as the owner of the studio. She teaches ashtanga vinyasa yoga, flow vinyasa, and Yin yoga. For the skimmers - What's in the yoga in Latvia episode?

Abigail James (@abigailjames1) is an A-list facialist, well-being expert and author. She is widely known in London as ‘the queen of skin' and the ‘priestess of facial massage' and is one of the most sought-after skincare experts of the British Capital. Abigail's YouTube tutorials have been a huge hit, with some of the videos garnering nearly 6.5 million views. In our interview, the single mother of three talks to Anne about her journey, from working for her father's food business to her start in training as a milliner before she switched to study to become a beauty therapist. Abigail had the chance to find her way to Lady Bamford's organic wellness space in the Cotswolds, which was an important stepping stone in her career. In addition, the skin expert, who's also trained as a yoga teacher, shares the successes and the emotional ups and downs in her journey, or ‘mental health tweaks' as she calls them. Of course, Abigail talks about the art of face massage, its physical benefits, and the power of positive touch, as well. When it comes to looking after our skin, Abigail affirms that education is important. And indeed, knowledge is power — both on the product side but also in understanding the underlying tissues, muscles and bones. The woman who's been named by the press as a ‘skin genius' doesn't just use a holistic approach, she also loves to use what technology can offer, relying on safe and advanced tools that support her clients for treatments that are completely bespoke. Anne and Abigail discuss the pressures of being online, with Abigail in front of the camera herself, as well as what she sees as trends in the tweakments space. The interview ends with Abigail sharing insights from her new book, “The Glow Plan”, and describing her life philosophy — break down, dust yourself off and try again! A moving, inspiring, and very joyful interview. Happy listening! ***You can find Abigail at: https://www.abigailjames.com/On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/abigailjames1/On Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTLWxHt0O27w6Xg2X4EyLrgOn Facebook https://www.facebook.com/AbigailJamesLondonOn TikTokOn Twitter https://twitter.com/abigail_jamesAbigail's books - The Glow Plan and Love Your Skin - https://www.abigailjames.com/book/ Beauty NVQ2 and NVQ 3 - what is an NVQ course UKLady Bamford - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carole_BamfordBamford in the Cotswolds - https://www.bamford.com/uk/pages/cotswolds-daylesford-farmCoworth Park, a Dorchester Collection Hotel - https://www.dorchestercollection.com/en/ascot/coworth-park/Francesca White, Tatler - https://www.tatler.com/profile/francesca-whiteGrace Belgravia - https://www.studiorhe.com/gracebelgraviaLiz Earle Skincare - https://www.lizearle.com/Suzanne Faith Yoga - https://www.suzannefaith.com/Anusara yoga - https://www.anusarayoga.com/Burnout, a book by Emily and Amelia Nagoski - https://www.burnoutbook.net/Emily & Amelia Nagoski interviewed by Brené Brown - https://brenebrown.com/podcast/brene-with-emily-and-amelia-nagoski-on-burnout-and-how-to-complete-the-stress-cycle/Rise Up, the song by Andra Day - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBuIBaDSOa4***If you enjoyed this episode, click subscribe for more, and consider writing a review of the show on Apple Podcasts, it helps people find us and also helps to secure future guests.

Welcome to Episode #27 of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast! This week, I welcome Pamela Harris onto the show. She is a yoga teacher and yoga studio owner from Barbados, Sunshine Kula Yoga Studio. My conversation with Pamela Harris, a yoga teacher from Barbados, was so lovely as she shared stories about what yoga was like in the 1960s and 70s in Barbados and how it has evolved over time. Hearing her stories about demonstrating yoga at a Hilton Hotel and how people were worried about getting swept up into a “hippie world,” provided such a unique snapshot into the past. Pamela and I also talked about Yoga Therapy and Anusara yoga and weaving the philosophy of yoga into every class, and taking it through the whole practice. Pamela is devoted to inner peace and personal development and committed to sharing a practice that is inclusive, accessible and for every level of oneself. If you're looking to tune into a podcast episode that is about energetic openings and connecting to the divine within yourself then this is the conversation for you. What to expect in the Yoga In Barbados episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast Pamela started learning yoga around the age 8 as her mother took her along to yoga classes. Yoga in the late 60s in Barbados was a magical place for Pamela, although apparently some ladies in Barbados of the late 60s and early 70s were worried about “going off into some hippie world” if they attended yoga classes. In fact, Pamela performed yoga demonstrations at the Hilton Hotel in Barbados in the 1960s— a story she unraveled for us on the show. Though Pamela didn't continue yoga through her teenage years, but came back to it around the age 25. She now is a studio owner in the Barbados, who teaches Anusara yoga and yoga therapy. Pamela finds the sacred within all, as she looks at yoga as an experience of journeying inwards. In regards to teaching yoga, Pamela prioritizes guiding others to delight in the experience of yoga and in life. Moreover, I loved how Pamela talked about yoga as honoring individuality and celebrating diversity, all while recognizing our oneness. Pamela and I also discussed the 5 principles of alignment of Anusara Yoga, as well as the scandal that happened with the founder of Anusara yoga, John Friend, and how she reacted and responded to that becoming public knowledge and how Anusara has shifted since then. Curious about yoga in Barbados and all the yoga happening there? Tune into the episode to find out more. For the skimmers - What's in the Barbados episode? What is Anusara Yoga? Coming to yoga as a child & doing yoga demonstrations Honoring individuality and celebrating diversity, while recognizing our oneness How to delight in the experience of yoga and of life The 5 principles of alignment of Anusara Yoga Favorite Quote From Pamela Harris “I've always looked at yoga as an experience of journeying inwards through those inner levels— the energetic, the emotional, the mind, the heart, to the spirit level.” Connect with Pamela Harris www.sunshinekula.com www.facebook.com/SunshineKulaYoga www.instagram.com/sunshinekula_yoga Want more?

In this episode of the Spiritual Entrepreneur, we talk about “Opening to Grace”. This is a practice that I learned years back when I was training in Anusara Yoga which literally means “Flowing with Grace”. The first principle of Anusara was said to be Open(ing) to Grace and I just love that as a starting principle for any endeavor in life or business.  We talk about how to apply this principle to life and business. “Opening to Grace” means when you step into doing anything, any endeavor and your life and your business, the very first thing that you do is literally open up to that Divine essence that is behind and within everything and allow it to flow in. What you will learn in this episode: What is Opening to Grace Applying the Open to Grace principle in life What you can expect to experience when you start with this principle A sneak peek at the episode: [02:02] “What Open to Grace means is when you step into doing anything, any endeavor and your life and your business, the very first thing that you do is literally open up.” [03:22] “If there's an area maybe where you're feeling like, wow, this feels a little bit stuck or this area over here feels like I'm really trying to get this to happen or you just can't quite mentally figure it out…” [07:48] “In a way that my actions couldn't even force into existence right now when I Opened to Grace and I allow Grace to enter and I allow Grace to guide...” Happy Listening!   PS - Join us in our private listener community!

Elena Lustig ist zertifizierte Anusara Yogalehrerin und unterrichtet nicht nur selbst Anusara, sondern bildet auch Yogalehrer:innen in diesem Bereich aus. Auch als Autorin ist Elena bereits bekannt. Zwei Bücher hat sie bereits publiziert, das erste davon das bekannte “Yoga Chakra Buch”, welches in Kooperation mit Annette Söhnlein entstand. Das zweite Buch befasst sich mit den Themen “Pro Age und Älterwerden”, ebenso das Dritte, an welchem Elena gerade arbeitet. Elena beschreibt ihren Werdegang als einen Weg, wo “Dinge passieren - mit Intention”. Dies sei die Fähigkeit zu erkennen, wo und wann sich Türen öffnen mit der Möglichkeit, die eigenen Fähigkeiten so einzusetzen, dass sie authentisch wirken und aus dem eigenen Erfahrungsschatz kommen. Das Thema “Älterwerden” beschäftigt Elena schon sehr lange. In unserer Gesellschaft wird das Thema Vergänglichkeit verdrängt, diese “darf nicht stattfinden”. Je mehr man aber zu der Haltung findet, dass der Tod und Vergänglichkeit ein Prozess ist, dann begreift man das Sterben als einen Augenblick der Transformation. Deshalb hat Elena auch das Konzept “Pro Age Yoga” entwickelt. Und was genau ist Elenas “Pro Age Yoga” Angebot? Das Angebot ist recht groß aufgestellt. Zum einen gibt es natürlich die Bücher zu kaufen. Dann gibt es immer Retreats oder Ausbildungen, sowie Online Kurse und Online Yogaklassen. Wir sprechen ausserdem über: Den Prozess des Buch schreibens Tipps für Yogalehrerinnen den Tod im Buddhismus und vieles mehr Hier findest du mehr von Elena Lustig: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elena.lustig/ Facebook: ttps://www.facebook.com/byElenaLustig Webseite: www.elenalustigyoga.com Und den Link zur Warteliste für den Onlinekurs Yoga Business Basics ab 7.

For many people, their journey with yoga starts as simply wanting to be more fit and more flexible, focusing only on the physical. Yet, over time as they dive deeper into the practice, yoga becomes less of an exercise and more of a philosophy: the principles of meditation, mindfulness, and balance extending to every facet of their lives.In this episode we talk with yogi Kelly Paez who considers yoga more than just a practice, but a philosophy. Kelly has been practicing for nearly a decade, teaching for the last 5 years. Her training and teachings are rooted in Krama Yoga and other styles, such as: Lyengar, Anusara, Dharma Yoga and Hatha Raja Yoga. Kelly focuses on  understanding the conscious body and the philosophy that supports such a lifestyle, emphasizing the technique of moving meditation, to inspire students to their lives in fullness and balance.

EPISODE 82: CRISITUNITY-TURN CRISIS INTO OPPORTUNITY: Flourishing Friday Flourishing Friday (FF)-Welcome to Flourishing Fridays (FF), where every Friday we bring you a Positive Psychology-based life hack that will help you flourish.  In these episodes, we look at the real-life application of Positive Psychology while giving you tips and strategies to put Positive Psychology into use in all areas of your life.  Shout out to Dan Trommater CAPPster from Canada in our recent Better Than Before COVID 19 programs. We were talking about how to turn obstacles and crisis into gifts or opportunities. He said, in typical animated Dan fashion, You mean, a crisitunity!  I thought he was friggin brilliant, then he told me it wasn't his, it was Homer! It turns out in a Simpsons episode, and daughter, Lisa Simpson, says, "dad, did you know that the Chinese have the same word for crisis as they do opportunity?" And homer exclaims, "Crisitunity!" The word they're referring to is both a Chinese and a Japanese word called Kiki. It's made up of two characters.  The first symbol represents dangerous, while the second one means opportunity: Aka, a crisitunity. Yes, a crisis may be scary, it may be dangerous, but it also forces the chance for change, and with that chance, a doorway to opportunity. This, of course, with the pandemic, is on the minds of many of the people that I work with and corporations that I support. People are asking how do we pivot? How do we become resilient? Since the pandemic started, I've been running a low-cost online program called Better Than Before COVID-19. We've had over 1,500 people go through the program in the past nine months, all united around a shared vision of learning positive psychology skills to be better after the pandemic than you were going into it. That's why I'm in love with the word crisitunity.  A mindset shift that the moments of crisis can be a gift can be an opportunity. It makes me think of the first principle of Anusara yoga, a yoga style that I used to teach. The first principle is "open to grace. Accept the past - check out last week's Flourishing Friday episode on psychic masochism and how to stop beating up on yourself about the past.  Ask yourself - how can I learn from this? How can I grow? How can I view this as a contrast? Meaning what I'm experiencing is what I don't want. How can I use this to create something I do want?  Asking yourself, what are my options? What can I do? All these things get us out of problem focus into solution focus.  Food for thought. What crisis have you turned into an opportunity?

Mia believes Yoga practice is a process of making friends with yourself to become an awakened witness to life.

A soulful prayer practice to invoke the light of truth, supreme peace, inner wisdom and the light of consciousness. Today's guided practice has been my primary mantra for the past couple of weeks as I've committed to my inner work, healing, and most importantly deep listening. When the world is intense and tumultuous, it's especially important for us to rise in humility and fierce love. To be able to cultivate the power and presence to be with discomfort and intensity whether that's arising within us or being aimed at us. Cultivating the light of inner peace within and a strong connection to your source of inner wisdom is important now more than ever. Today's Sanskrit mantra meditation essentially translates to mean “I bow to the goodness within me, my inner wise teacher, the Self of All. The embodiment of Being, Awareness, and Bliss living within everything as its true nature, Supreme Peace. This energy needs no support, but sustains and supports all, illuminating the entire Universe with the Light of Consciousness.” This is a common yoga prayer in the Anusara yoga lineage and is a beautiful reminder to stay connected to your true Self, the Peaceful Soul within you.
