Podcasts about hatha

This week, Harmony and Russell sit down with the dynamic and deeply grounded Amy Kokoszka—a Polish-Canadian Ashtanga Yoga teacher living in Ireland—whose journey weaves through Sivananda, Hatha, and eventually, Ashtanga yoga. But this conversation isn't just about yoga. Amy shares how the raw power of “Women Who Run with the Wolves” inspired her to create healing spaces for women through story, circles, and breathwork. She speaks candidly about the physical and emotional upheaval of perimenopause, the loss of her business during the pandemic, and how weight training helped her reconnect to her strength—literally and spiritually. We dive into what it means to be a “deviant” in a tradition-bound practice, how yoga becomes a ritual of remembering, and why sometimes the soul doesn't guide the body—the body guides the soul. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that our bodies, our stories, and our strength are sacred. Whether you're navigating hormonal shifts, looking to reclaim your power, or seeking community, Amy's voice is a balm and a rallying cry. In this episode, we talk about: Amy's multicultural upbringing and how it shaped her identity The journey from Hatha and Sivananda yoga to Ashtanga Reclaiming personal power during perimenopause How lifting weights revitalized Amy's yoga practice The sacredness of women's circles and storytelling Navigating injury, spondylolisthesis, and adapting the practice Breathwork as a tool for release, resilience, and self-connection Challenging orthodoxy in yoga traditions The influence of Women Who Run with the Wolves on Amy's path Balancing discipline with wild intuition Why rest, ritual, and reclaiming strength matter as we age   Learn more about Amy:  Amy Kokoska leads immersive women's retreats that integrate yoga, breathwork, and ritual. A seasoned yoga educator, retreat leader, and storyteller, she has over 20 years of experience in Ashtanga, Yin, and trauma-informed practices.   Rooted in the wisdom of Women Who Run with the Wolves, Amy weaves movement, mythology, and deep soul work to guide women on a journey of self-reclamation. She explores the vast space of Chitta Akasha (the inner sky of consciousness) where wild imagination, ancestral wisdom, and embodied movement meet. She previously owned a yoga studio and now devotes her work to leading retreats and deep-dive workshops that bridge ancient wisdom with modern embodiment practices. She is the founder of Women & Wolves, a workshop series exploring the Wounded Healer and Wild Woman archetypes through movement, storytelling, and ritual.   Ashtanga yoga was Amy's first love and remains the practice she continues to turn to for strength, discipline, and self-discovery. It deepened her relationship with self-practice, fostering resilience, devotion, and inner transformation. She also offers a monthly Primary Led Ashtanga class in Cork, sharing the profound power of the practice with her community.   Discover her work at hayokayoga.org.   Connect with Harmony:   Book a Clarity Call with Harmony: https://harmonyslater.as.me/Clarity-Session Find your Spiritual Archetype!

Gia-Raquel Rose, owner of Airs Above Yoga, LLC and a real estate sales associate in Tewksbury, New Jersey has had a love for horses stemming from early childhood. Growing up in “horse country” afforded her the privilege of beginning to ride from the tender age of four. It was a childhood illness, which brought her riding aspirations to an abrupt halt. It took twenty years before she was able to reunite with her long lost passion for horses and their ability to heal. In that time, she received a Bachelor of Arts in Corporate Communication from Arcadia University and became a twice two hundred hour certified yoga instructor in both Hatha and Vinyasa. It was the loss of her mother, Rose, to breast cancer, which ultimately shifted her trajectory from the corporate world to the internal work for which yoga, as a practice, is renowned.

Energy has the power to transform—I know because it transformed me. My journey with Reiki began in 2018, opening a path to deep healing and stillness. Guided by world-renowned teachers like William Lee Rand and Colleen Benelli, I trained at Mount Kurama, Japan, and studied sound healing in Nepal, where I discovered the profound influence of frequency and vibration. In India, I deepened my practice of meditation and Hatha yoga, strengthening my connection to breath, stillness, and holistic healing. Blending Reiki, sound healing, and meditation, I help others reconnect with their inner light, awaken self-healing, and step into authenticity. My role is not to fix but to hold space—guiding others to trust their intuition and reveal the healing power within.

Breath is essential in controlling movement and preventing injury. ·      Many practitioners push too hard, leading to injuries. ·      Understanding bandhas is crucial for effective practice. ·      Common mistakes include overstretching and ignoring body signals. ·      Teaching methodologies should adapt to individual needs. ·      Practitioners should focus on their own progress rather than comparing to others. ·      The evolution of Ashtanga practices reflects changing understandings of yoga. ·      Personal growth in practice often comes from letting go of old habits. ·      Injury prevention is key to a sustainable yoga practice. ·      Enjoying the practice is as important as achieving goals

Those who are very serious about spiritual life will find that from time to time, they get a reaction from doing too many spiritual practices. Usually it's the case that when we clean out the mind with mantra, meditation etc. all sorts of repressed complexes come out to be reviewed, compassionately digested and dissolved. So it's only natural that as we practice, we can feel like we are regressing because of all this stuff that comes up when in truth, that's precisely what's supposed to happen! But also, in other cases, it really is possible to do too much, too soon like lifting weights that are too heavy for us in the gym. Because the practices of Tantra are very powerful and because they can have such a profound effect on the body, on the nervous system, on the hormonal system and on the psyche, we must ensure our practice proceeds systematically and sensible, so that we may avoid a reaction or backlash. In this short piece, we provide 3 keys ways (by no means an exhaustive list) for avoiding spiritual burnout: 1. Practice consistently and intensify your practice gradually and slowly over a period of time.2. Diversify your practice with the four yogas. 3. Exercise, eat well and sleep well. But perhaps best of all: practice Hatha yoga regularly to prepare the nerves for the shock of spiritual realization!Support the show

Katie Gauthier is a mom of two incredible teenagers and likes to refer to herself as a “Kate of All Trades,” because she collects certifications like Pokémon cards and has a variety of interests that she pursues regularly. To date, she is a certified belief-clearing practitioner, Hatha yoga teacher, Yin yoga teacher, spiritual coach, black belt in HapKiDo, author, trauma survivor, mental health advocate, bikini competitor, meditation teacher, and entrepreneur. She is also working towards her Yoga Therapist certification.   Katie specializes in setting audacious goals and accelerating the process of attaining them by using all her acquired skills. Her primary goal in life is to live it fully and help others heal from the things they don't necessarily talk about to get them on track to living their best lives.  Katie unapologetically uses her unique perspective, and keen sense of humor to help clients – and all in her energetic field – feel at ease and welcome exactly as they are. She is certain that life can always be better when we choose to live authentically based on her personal experiences. Her business is called “Elevate Yoga and Wellness” because Katie believes in the power of moving up to the next level by connecting and balancing mind, body, and spirit.   In Katie's experience, connecting and balancing mind, body, and spirit allows for a much easier means of releasing trauma and all that no longer serves the individual. This release creates space for new habits that align with the individual's idea of their dream life. Katie likes to use herself as a primary example of how one can go from rock bottom to living an incredible life with the right strategies and practices.  Connect with Katie below: ·         https://www.elevateyogawellness.ca ·         https://www.amazon.ca/stores/author/B0DDR1TFM4 ·         https://linktr.ee/katiegee   ...............................................................................................................................................................

In that time, she received a Bachelor of Arts in Corporate Communication from Arcadia University and became a twice two hundred hour certified yoga instructor in both Hatha and Vinyasa. It was the loss of her mother, Rose, to breast cancer, which ultimately shifted her trajectory from the corporate world to the internal work for which yoga, as a practice, is renowned.

Ep 190 Adam Keen – A Deeper Look at the Yamas and Niyamas "The yamas look like monks' vows." "Yoga is a physical method of inner conflict resolution." www.keenonyoga.com | @adam_keen_ashtanga  Adam delves into the complexities of the yamas and niyamas, exploring their relevance in modern yoga practice. He emphasizes the importance of inner alignment through Hatha yoga before adhering to moral codes, suggesting that true ethical living arises from a clear inner state. Adam discusses the challenges of moral actions, the nuances of non-violence, and the concept of Dharma in contemporary society. He advocates for a deeper inquiry into the nature of goodness and authenticity, ultimately positioning yoga as a process of self-discovery and alignment rather than mere adherence to social morality. Key Points ·      Yoga is not just about following rules; it's about inner alignment. ·      Hatha yoga serves as a foundation for understanding the yamas and niyamas. ·      Moral actions are complex and often lead to unintended consequences. ·      Patanjali's yamas may be more suited for monastics than lay practitioners. ·      Non-violence is a nuanced concept that goes beyond physical actions. ·      Dharma is not fixed; it requires personal inquiry and reflection. ·      Authenticity is more important than simply appearing good to society. ·      The struggle with ethical living is part of the yoga journey. ·      Inner cleansing is essential for genuine ethical behavior. ·      Yoga encourages inquiry and challenges societal norms.

Come and listen while Host Joyce Benning interviews extraordinary people on her Robust Lifestyles Podcasts only on the Divas That Care Network. Gia-Raquel Rose, owner of Airs Above Yoga, LLC and a real estate sales associate in Tewksbury, New Jersey has had a love for horses stemming from early childhood. Growing up in “horse country” afforded her the privilege of beginning to ride from the tender age of four. It was a childhood illness, which brought her riding aspirations to an abrupt halt. It took twenty years before she was able to reunite with her long lost passion for horses and their ability to heal.

www.keenonyoga.com | @adam_keen_ashtanga  Adam reflects on his 25 years of teaching yoga and shares the things he has changed his mind on over the years. He emphasizes the importance of evolving and learning in yoga and how knowledge should change us. He discusses the concept of deepening a posture and how it is more about balancing forces in the body rather than pushing for a deeper shape. He also talks about his evolving understanding of Hatha yoga and the integration of movement, breath, and concentration.  Key Points ·      Knowledge should change us and lead to personal growth and evolution. ·      Deepening a posture is about balancing forces in the body, not just pushing for a deeper shape. ·      Hatha yoga is a method of pressurizing the body to align and purify the energy of the spine. ·      The integration of movement, breath, and concentration is essential in yoga practice. Adjustments in yoga can send the message that a person is not good enough and can lead to injury. ·      Trust and touch are important in yoga practice, and being in proximity with others who provide supportive touch can open up the body. ·      Breathing is the movement in yoga, and the diaphragm is the center of the body. ·      Technique in yoga is important, but it should not overshadow the need for space, support, and encouragement in the practice. ·      Anatomical variations should be taken into account in yoga practice, and individualized variations can be used instead of rigidly following a set sequence. ·      Quality of practice is more important than the amount of time spent practicing. ·      Rounding the back in forward folds can be beneficial, and internal rotation can be emphasized in twists. ·      The second series backbends can be introduced early in the practice to provide a balanced approach. ·      Personal discipline in yoga practice should be balanced with trust in oneself and the ability to listen to one's own needs.   "Yoga did... what medications didn't." "Teaching back then was practicing with the class." "I don't adjust anymore... I don't manhandle people." "Adjustments, second thing, adjustments don't work." "Being with people in proximity, if you trust them, if you feel their touch is endorsing, affirmative of your being, just opens up the body like nothing else." "The body always wants to seek homeostasis. In everything, in its blood temperature, in the regulation of all its organs, it just wants to seek homeostasis naturally."

I feel like I come home into family, I come home into place, I come home into the harmony of things. I think that the conditions are available for us to feel that feeling. I think as each individual feels it, then they become an instrument through which others feel it.
