Flute 360 | Episode 257: “A Holistic Approach to Music Making with Emma Shubin” Body movement in music performance is often a hotly debated topic.

In this episode, we explore the art of instructing yoga. It's something yoga teachers do every single time we enter a class. Yet, many yoga teachers struggle with getting comfortable, or skillful at instructing. Because we have to take what we have as experience in our bodies and being. Make it coherent for someone else. While this sounds straightforward, it's not. Arundhati interviews Christina Sell. A long-time yoga teacher and student. The conversation goes deep into the "art of instructing yoga". If you teach yoga asana in some capacity, this is highly recommended listen.

“I realised this isn't new, this interconnection, this view of holistic understandings of who we are… back to indigenous cultures” - Sam Crowell This podcast utilises the audio from the webinar that took place on 30 April 2021 on the Planetary wellbeing platform by AnimalConcepts. Let us welcome Dr Sam M. Crowell Jr. He is a professor emeritus from California State University, San Bernardino. He founded the MA in Holistic and Integrative Education and is a founding member of the Network in Spirituality and Education. He serves as a faculty member of the Earth Charter Education Center for Sustainable Development and has been engaged in the Earth Charter movement for several years.Sam informs us how his beginnings with his doctorate in the social foundations of education, influenced his career as a teacher. He enthused about how teaching, allows for collaboration and further learning. Furthermore, he highlights how his indigenous heritage has given influenced his teaching style and sense of identity. They then discuss the influence of culture, both animal and human, and how understanding them could be used to encourage a peaceful future. “All my relations are our saving grace, it points to the truth that we are all connected. The most important word is ALL, not just those that behave like me, all, every person…” - Sam reading from Richard Wagamese's book Embers. The podcast concludes by explaining the prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor. The eagle represents human technological advancements, the condor represents spirit.

Do you ever question… Should your ‘out of the box' child have a traditional diagnosis? Should you tell your child about their diagnosis ? If so, when and what do you say? What are the emotional consequences for your child that comes with knowing, or not knowing, about a diagnosis? In today's episode, I speak with Jada D'Angelo, a school counselor and neuroscience enthusiast. Jada and I speak candidly about raising children with ADHD and the cause and effects of having a child traditionally diagnosed and what comes with sharing, or not sharing, the diagnosis with your child. About Jada “For as long as I can remember I have loved people. As a young adult I quickly became a self-proclaimed psycho-social geek and began studying anything I could get my hands on relating to holistic wellness. Fueled by these interests I pursued a career in education. I obtained a double major in Integrative Education as well Waldorf Education for my Master's degree and was able to teach for more than a decade in public and private schools in three countries. I taught preschool all the way through high school and had the honor to enter into the precious lives of students with a large spectrum of social, cultural, and neuro-diversity. After years in the classroom I harnessed my love for hearing someone's story and advocating for their sense of success and joy and pursued a post- Master's degree in School Counseling. Working with students and families one on one is my heart song and I find great joy in igniting the pilot light within others. For the past several years I have been working with private clients as well as in the private and public school sector as a counselor. When I am not intently listening or training myself on the latest neurscience, I enjoy doing all things outdoors, traveling, and snapping pictures, and hanging with my family (humans and fur) crew. And, as you can imagine, I am always up for listening to a great story." Lifewithjades@gmail.com Your Host: Hi, I'm Ashleigh Tolliver, and this podcast is a road map to Parenting That Kid. As a mother to a highly sensitive little boy, I know what it means to parent a child who does not fit into the ‘box' modern society has put children into. My mission is to help other parents of “that kid” feel less alone, more confident, and more equipped by asking the tough questions to the professionals, gathering tools and resources and connecting with other moms who are wrestling with the same struggles. If recording my journey as I seek a clear starting point, community, and effort to normalize a life with a highly emotional, sometimes out-of-control child, supports at least one parent, then my time is not wasted. And if it doesn't well, there's documented proof that moms deserve a glass of wine. Cheers Thanks for listening! It means so much to us that you listened to our podcast!

In a detailed and informative Podcast interview, Dr. Barry Raphael discusses the ADA's 2017 statement on dentistry's role in sleep-related breathing disorders, his involvement in promoting these concepts, the difference between integrative and conventional orthodontics, the Raphael Center for Integrative Education, and achieving optimal esthetics, occlusion and breathing and sleep. Dr. Barry Raphael has been in the private practice of orthodontics since 1983, carrying on a family tradition since 1950. Over that time, his interest in Early Treatment has led to the incorporation of techniques designed to prevent malocclusion and Airway-Centered Dysfunctions like sleep disordered breathing and oral habits that effect facial growth. Dr. Raphael teaches these techniques on post-graduate level, nationally, internationally and at the Raphael Center for Integrative Education whose mission is to teach patients, parents, and professionals about ACDs and treatment alternatives. He ran the first graduate program in Myofunctional Orthodontics at the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, Pediatric Dental Residency from 2011-2019.

Dr. Barry Raphael of the Raphael Center for Integrative Education discusses sleep medicine and breathing issues. Dr. Raphael is a skilled practitioner in the field of orthodontics. He is particularly interested in sleep/breathing issues (airway-centered dysfunction) and malocclusion, and the early treatment techniques that can help to avoid them. Dr. Raphael teaches at the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, and at the post-graduate level in the US and abroad, and of course at his center, the Raphael Center for Integrative Education in New Jersey. Dr. Raphael is the president of the New Jersey Association of Orthodontists and is a respected authority in his field at large. As Dr. Raphael states, today we know more about sleep and the reasons behind sleep disruption than ever before. He delves into a detailed explanation of how we take air in during our sleep and the processes that take place as we breathe. He explains the kind of suction activity that the chest creates that helps to pull air in through the nose, and when all is functioning properly this is a fairly effortless process and the diaphragm will distribute air evenly throughout the lungs. However, for some, there is ‘turbulence,' which is a ‘swirling' of the air as it moves through the body that causes a significant amount of negative pressure. Dr. Raphael explains that this can cause the sidewalls of the airway to flutter, which makes noise, and this noise is what we have labeled as—snoring. Snoring, he states, is one of the hallmarks of negative pressure in the airway. Dr. Raphael discusses the discomfort that can be created and the ways to deal with these airway issues. The orthodontics expert outlines other ways that turbulence can be created in the breathing process, specifically detailing nasal issues, and ways that a ‘narrowing' can be created that will impact breathing negatively. Continuing, Dr. Raphael discusses the fields of sleep medicine and sleep dentistry and the innovative progress that is being made in them, offering new hope for sufferers. Dr. Raphael says that eight to fifteen percent of the population has sleep apnea, but of those, many never figure out that this is a problem for them at all, leaving the issue unaddressed. He explains the many ways the body tries to adapt during sleep, in order to get the air that it needs. Dr. Raphael explains how apnea can stress the organs, and how it usually is developed over a long history of intermittent breathing issues that occur during sleep. Additionally, he outlines autonomic responses, and how stress affects breathing and the body.
