Greetings and Welcome to another Potentially Useful episode of the TCAPSLoop Podcast. Let us now embark on a journey through the intricate web of education, technology, and equity. Today, we're diving deep into the 2024 National Education Technology Plan. Join us as we navigate through the waves of innovation, unpacking the strategies aimed at bridging the digital divide and ensuring equitable access to educational resources for all learners. We'll unravel the threads of this ambitious plan, shedding light on its impact and implications for our classrooms. Moment of Zen: Organization is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it's not all mixed up. - A.A. Milne The Rundown: Follow along by downloading the National EdTech Plan (NETP): A Call to Action for Closing the Digital Access, Design, and Use Divides What is the National EdTech Plan? How did it come to be? Building on the concept of the Instructional core, this plan considers the barriers to equitable support of learning through edtech as three divides:Digital Use Divide Digital Design Divide Digital Access Divide As a path to closing these divides, the NETP also provides actionable recommendations to advance the effective use of technology to support teaching and learning. Many schools in the United States have greater connectivity and access to devices and digital learning resources than ever before due to the need for emergency remote learning brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, this continued bridging of the access divide will only add to the failure of edtech to deliver on its promises if systems do not consider its use in conjunction with all components of the instructional core. This NETP attempts to chart a path for all schools, educators, and students to realize the potential of technology in supporting better “everywhere, all-the-time” learning.

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.

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.

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. JUNE 1 - 12, 2023 - All-Inclusive Turkey Retreat!

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. JUNE 1 - 12, 2023 - All-Inclusive Turkey Retreat!

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. JUNE 1 - 12, 2023 - All-Inclusive Turkey Retreat!
