Gandalf discusses their unique approach to rope, exploring themes of memory, vulnerability, and connection. They share insights on teaching, the emotional impact of touch, and creating spaces for authenticity and intentionality in rope practice.Gandalf (they/them) is a shibari artist and educator based in Shanghai. They are the founder and organiser of Embodied Flow and the conductor of a local Playback Theatre group. Formerly a cognitive scientist, Gandalf is interested in exploring various forms of embodied thinking with rope being their main medium. Over the past three years, they have been teaching rope to a wide variety of demographics across China, aiming to radically diversify shibari and build safer and more conscious rope communities for queer and women. For them, rope teaches us about "being together". Drawing from their background in psychology and experience across various forms of theatre and dance, Gandalf's workshops often consist of equal measures of movement and rope exercises, and participants are invited to explore a variety of topics from consent, safety, tension, to wild journeys into the philosophy of meaning making, vulnerability, and care. Gandalf has also started the "Kinbaku Theatre" initiative, where they hope to further expand the potential of shibari performances through stage productions. Their writings and talks are featured on Contemporary Queer Chinese Art, DOMUS China, TEDx etc.Explore 800+ high-quality rope bondage tutorials taught by world-class instructors: https://shibaristudy.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shibari.study/Twitter: https://twitter.com/shibari_studyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ShibariStudyFetlife: https://fetlife.com/users/856858
Ooof - this week's episode left us tingling with enthusiasm and curiosity about life and all its wonder, and I am confident it will inspire you too. We got to korero with the beautiful Mari Halina Colbert - yoga teacher and Embodied Flow™ teacher trainer, with trainings and specialisations in Somatics, Biomechanics, Humanistic psychology, Hakomi Psychotherapy, Body Mind Centering, and Trauma-sensitive yoga. We explore the world of non dual tantra in a very relatable and understandable way, exploring the concept that we are all unique expressions of the oneness/the wholeness/the divine. We discuss how the body can be used as a vehicle for awakening, as a tool for exploration, and how we can use our experience within our body to serve the greater good. Mari shared the concept of choosing to embody the mystery of this human experience, over trying to demystify it. There is so much in this - and it all feels so rich and beautiful and applicable. We really hope you enjoy this episode, and if you do please share it with a friend or two, and help us to spread the love!

Tara Judelle has taught yoga around the world for over 20 years. With asana as a gateway, Tara steeped herself in the non-dual philosophy of Kashmir Shaivism or Tantra. In 2014 she co-created the school of Embodied Flow with Dr. Scott Lyons; an integrative blend of hatha yoga, somatics, meditation, and transpersonal psychology that elicits the experience of meditation in action. In this reflective episode we discuss how asana can be used skilfully to support our awakening process. Tara shares the philosophy of tantra and how it informs her practice as well as the influence of her own teachers Sally Kempton and Bonnie Bainbridge-Cohen. She explains the concept of 'embodied anatomy' and what it really means to have freedom. Tara shares how in order to fully inhabit the body, healing must first take place, and how tapping into healing energy happens naturally when coming into a place of stillness within or by touching the "ground of being". We discuss the importance of getting in touch with the memory and resonance of early embryological aspects of our bodies, and how macrocosmic, universal energy flows are reflected in the movements of our physical body. Tara's classes focus on the discovery of embodied anatomy, bringing to the yogic tradition a scientific yet playful study of the movement vocabulary of the body and the ever-expanding perceptual awareness of the human mind. Following an initial move from Los Angeles to direct a yoga program and retreat center in Bali for several years, Tara now teaches workshops, retreats and teacher trainings worldwide; her dynamic style bringing ease and authenticity into a new yoga culture.www.tarajudelle.comwww.embodiedflow.comLiked what you heard?

Today I'm joined by a dear friend and colleague, Colette Davis.We got together to discuss the intersections of Shaiva Tantra and Depth Psychology, but in the end we enter deep waters as Collette opens up about the tragic story of her relationship with her mother who passed earlier this year. She brings a depth, sensitivity and vulnerability to this personal yet universal theme of love and loss between mothers and daughters. From Collette's Bio: https://www.samavesayoga.com"I'm an Embodied Flow™ facilitator, Senior yoga teacher and humble shepherd of the Samāveśa School of Yoga, where I offer online and in- person trainings, courses, retreats and community. I've been a devoted student and practitioner of Non-Dual Shaiva Tantra since 2014 and have studied with some of the world's leading teachers, including Tara Judelle, Sianna Sherman, Hareesh Wallis, Leila Sadeghee, and Adyashanti."I don't get down so well with hierarchical systems of power and am interested in disrupting the teacher-student binary. I advocate for circular communities where we get to co-create a safe and kind space together, weaving trauma informed practices so we all feel held and supported. I'm a mama bear at heart so you can expect a big generous holding field and a healthy friendship that honours boundaries on both sides."My Clark Kent job, for twenty years, has been as a copywriter and brand consultant and I have been the Director and Creative Director of Found for Words since 2010. I have two Masters degrees with Distinction and my most recent degree was in Interdisciplinary Psychology, which I thread through my teachings and trainings."Artwork: Frederic Leighton - The Return of Persephone (1981)Podcast Musician: Marlia CoeurPlease consider becoming a Patron to support the show!Go to OnTheSoulsTerms.com for more.
One would assume that yoga classes (where we do asanas, or postures) should be embodied. Given the deep spiritual roots of yoga from various Indian philosophies & teachers, you'd expect yoga to be something that bought you deeper into inhabiting and expressing yourself fully (my definition of embodiment). Except I frequently find myself in yoga classes lacking that resonance. Perhaps they are more focused on precise asanas with increasing complexity, or a workout to sweat. Either way, modern western yoga (asana) classes as I experience them sometimes ≠ embodied. In 2020 (or there about's) one of our graduate Feminine Embodiment Coaches Megan Hart mentioned to me she'd been studying Embodied Flow, which was “so much like Feminine Embodiment Coach, but in yoga form” I was VERY interested…. And today, finally, I've spoken with the founder of this beautiful embodied movement method. Meet Tara Judelle, the creator of Embodied Flow Yoga - a school of somatics, movement, and yoga based in non-dual tantric philosophy and humanistic psychology. She has facilitated yoga spaces internationally for the over 20 years. She is the creator of Embodied Flow Yoga - a school of somatics, movement , and yoga based in non-dual tantric philosophy and humanistic psychology. She is dedicated to facilitating journeys that bring people into freedom and agency in the body-mind. Today's podcast is my favourite so far in our Season 8 Embodied Movement Series. While I've relished every conversation so far, this conversation with Tara holds a special place in my heart. Perhaps it's because we're both in cross-cultural relationships (Tara splits her time between US/Greece & travel for her teaching/retreats), or perhaps it's because Tara weaves so much deep knowledge & diverse philosophy into all she shares. Either way, Tara is a woman after my own heart (abet, doing it a very different way) and it's a joy to bring this conversation about Embodied Flow to you today! In this episode, we discuss: How Tara's traditional yoga-asana practice evolved by following the question “how do I become a liberated, embodied being?” Shouldn't all yoga (asana) classes be embodied? Tara shares with us some historical context of asana's evolution & migration to the West, and how that's shaped the practice Tara's journey from traditional yoga teacher, to creator of Embodied Flow, a meditation in motion, on & off the mat. Input/Output balances. We speak about balancing the vast qualities of data we receive in a day & shifting that data from a vast imaginal field, through the body as a way to reduce anxiety.

Tara Judelle comes back to the show to share of her embodied, visionary wisdom (previous episode #17).As the moon waxes its way towards its fullness in the vibrant, creative sign of Leo, we enter through Tara's own Nodal Story (Leo South Node - Aquarius North Node) and let the spirit of the times move us.This leads us into some observations of our times and the strong pull of the little black box we call smart phones to abduct us out of our circumstances and into other dimensions. We drop into the paradox of the Individual and the Collective, a primary theme of this Astrological Archetypal Axis. And then find our way into meditating upon the concept of the Astrological Ages, tracking them back over the last four or five Millenia, as a frame for working with these times of transition.For a more in depth look at the astrological ages click here for an article by Robert Fitzgerald.The Leo Full Moon is Sunday 5th February at 6:26pm GMT.Tara Judelle is a world renowned yoga facilitator moved by bringing humans into their innate sense of freedom and purpose.

This week Kat has coach turned friend, Chelsea Adair, on the podcast this week! Chelsea is a feminine embodiment mentor helping women reclaim their pleasure, sexuality, and power. After leaving her job as a personal trainer and physical therapists assistant, Chelsea spent the next 6 years studying herself and helping others along the way, traveling to Bali to receive her Yoga Teacher Training through Embodied Flow and studying under some of the greatest leaders in trauma healing, sexuality & intimacy. Chelsea guides her clients into their inherent wholeness and authentic expression through emotional release, somatic healing, and basic psychology - all rooted in the reclamation of the Feminine. This week we talk about Chelsea and her story, eroticism, the pleasure path, relearning what sucks energy is, feminine embodiment, what it's like own vs suppress our desires and not numbing anymore and anchoring into our power Reclaiming our feminine essence as a woman is our birthright and we are taught in so many ways generationally and societally that we should suppress that. But your womb, your sacral chakra, that creation energy and your essence of being a woman is your gift to this world. Kat had to work through shame, embrace her devotion to things, own her desires, learn to surrender to the bigger picture of life, and more. These are some of the things that Kat had to learn as she worked with Chelsea and moved from judgement to embodied and awakened.

In this week's episode I speak to Collette Davis who is a Yoga teacher of embodied flow and founded her own school of yoga in 2019. Collette is deeply connected to her intuition and we hear how as a child she felt connected to her environment around her and later learned to reconnect as an adult. She shares with us the details of what embodied flow actually is and how it is a radical shift from attending yoga classes where you are instructed and can just switch your mind off. We learn how the guided classes look for both the teacher and students to access their intuition. Collette asks us to consider what our doorway to intuition might be and if we are curious enough to search for it to find our flow. This discussion is about trust, flow, connecting to source and so much more. I can't wait for you to listen.About Collette:A dedicated student of classical Tantric philosophy and the school of Embodied Flow™, Collette honors her teachers Tara Judelle, Leila Sadeghee, Bridget Luff, Hareesh Wallis, Adyashanti and the Trika lineage of Non-Dual Kashmir Shaivism.

Tara Judelle is a world renowned yoga facilitator moved by bringing humans into their innate sense of freedom and purpose. After 30 years experimenting in all forms of movement, Tara co-created the School of Embodied Flow™ in 2014, making her one of the first yoga teachers to bring the work of Body Mind Centering and Tantra together. From a background in literature, film writing, directing and dance, Tara brings students on a journey of discovery of their numinous self through laughter, meditation, embodiment, movement & inquiry.Tara was one of the first five teachers on the platform called Yogaglo which was one of the first online yoga platforms (launching in 2009). Her deepest inquiry is how to bring the felt sense of capital S self into the felt sense of our embodiment to facilitate awakening. She is also interested in using the body as a gateway into flow states, and how to bring the meditative awareness into open eyed interactive awareness. Teaching reciprocity and yielding is one of the things closest to her heart. Recently she has been studying more somatic psychology and Internal Family Systems, and looking at how the energy of what we could call Core Self radiates as a frequency that tends to heal/melt held patterns or parts. "I suppose if I could do anything in the world it would be to help humans to remember their creative, dynamic felt sense of Self energy and to melt the masks that we have learned to take on.

This week's show is with Marcela Widrig, founder of Fierce Embodiment. Marcela teaches women to un-do old beliefs, hurts and fears, and the way they limit you in your life today. She trained extensively with the Grinberg Method® for over 18 years, and continued her development with Embodied Movement training, Body-mind Centering®, Embodied Flow™ yoga and Motion Theatre®. This combination of somatic bodywork, movement training, breath and expressive arts has given her a rich variety of body-centered tools to guide clients through trauma and emotional challenges, to reach those un-met places we all have inside of us. She offers a 4-month signature course, called Shifting Shame: An Embodied Journey to Freedom and monthly movement series and workshops. In this show we spoke about Marcela's work around understanding how shame is held in body, and how by working through this, we can reclaim power, joy, freedom, expression, choices. I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below. What you'll learn from this episode: In order to integrate what's been held in shame we have to include the body - given that's where shame is held, how could it be another way? Because being in connection with our shame is too hard, we will have mechanisms to protect from feeling it - so the shame of our shame can be the first place to start instead To take a step on this journey, notice your chronic reactions: what do you constantly find yourself doing? That is a door. Then notice how it shows up in your body, and see if you plant your feet on the ground, breathe and move into the experience.

Myself and Mei Lai Swan explore the importance of acknowledging trauma and social justice within the yoga space. We talk about what social justice really means and how we can take care of all people and have systems and cultures that really support our individual and collective well-being. “I saw the need for training that incorporated yoga, trauma and social justice” What is social justice? How do we really take care of each and have systems and cultures that really support our individual and collective well-being? “Yoga is an inherent part of who we are. It is the deep self inquiry. The point of yoga is to wake up to who you are and that's available to you no matter where you are born, no matter your lineage. It is your birthright.” Mei Lai Swan is the founder and lead facilitator of Yoga for Humankind. Dedicated to the paths of yoga, meditation and community for over 20 years, Mei Lai is an experienced yoga teacher trainer and certified Embodied Flow facilitator with a professional background in music, community development and social work. She specialises in embodied practice, trauma-informed yoga, social justice and nada yoga (sound and mantra). Mei Lai is passionate about creating authentic spaces for fostering conversation, building community and sharing practices of embodied social justice and collective wellbeing. With a BA in International Development/Environmental Studies and a Master of Social Work, Mei Lai spent six years working in remote Aboriginal communities running community development programs, before returning to Melbourne to run psychosocial programs with people seeking asylum. She has trained broadly in somatic-based trauma therapy, counselling, and Trauma Centre Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY-F) and has combined these skills to deliver individual counselling, group work programs, and specially-tailored yoga programs for asylum seekers, refugees, disadvantaged youth, and people experiencing chronic pain and trauma. She is a doula, founder, previous CEO and ongoing board director of Birth for Humankind, a non-profit organisation providing free birth support to women experiencing socio-economic disadvantage. www.yogaforhumankind.org / @yogaforhumankind www.meilaiswan.com / @meilaiswanyoga --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/selfagencyadvocate/support

How do we thrive in every layer of fabric of our consciousness? In this episode Amisha spends time with yogi, teacher and founder of the School of Embodied Flow, Tara Judelle. Tara shares her journey from being a ‘brain dominant human' to her current work teaching and practising Embodied Flow yoga. She talks us through the multi-layered process of discovering and connecting with the bodymind on the deepest levels - finding balance, synergy and sensitivity within our system. Tara speaks about her evolution of understanding from studying tantric texts and yoga asanas for 30 years, to finally coming into an embodied experience of what she has learned. She explains how we can achieve a balance between integrity and permeability, structure and flow, intake and output, moment by moment. Together Amisha and Tara discuss the nature of self, the relationship between effort and surrender, and the art of yielding through airports. Finally, Tara leads us through a meditation for embodiment, where you will get to enjoy the experience of your brain melting like lava...
