Podcasts about Ko Samui

Harmony Slater reconnects with longtime friend and fellow teacher Paul Dallaghan to explore his journey from Ireland to India, from business school to biology, and from asana to advanced Pranayama. Paul shares the inner current that drew him to spiritual practice, his years immersed in India and Thailand, and his groundbreaking research on how breath-based yoga practices affect longevity, telomere length, and mental health. The episode is filled with insights on what it means to be truly engaged in your practice, how ancient yogic techniques translate into measurable physiological benefits, and why sincerity may be the most essential ingredient in personal transformation. Whether you're a seasoned yoga practitioner or someone looking to understand how the breath can change your brain and your life, this episode will spark curiosity and offer grounded, heart-centered wisdom. In This Episode, You'll Hear: Paul's early spiritual awakenings from farms in France to kibbutzim in Israel How yoga found him in New York City and redirected his life path His years in India, spiritual pilgrimages, and devotion to Pranayama The influence of Sri O.P. Tiwari and the Kaivalyadhama lineage His PhD research at Emory University: what ancient yogis knew and science now confirms Why telomere length matters and how breath practices directly impact it What sincerity in practice really looks like, and why it's essential Surprising stories about psychedelics and why they had little effect on him Guest Bio: Paul has spent 30 years in the wellbeing arena, from immersion in original breath-body-mind practices to cultural and scientific study.  He is CEO and founder of Samahita Retreat since 2003, the first full wellbeing retreat center in Asia, known for breath, yoga, wellness and fitness, thriving today on Ko Samui, Thailand.  Paul spent many years in India, including in Mysore with P Jois, being the last to be certified by him in his lifetime (in 2007). He learnt pranayama in-depth with his primary teacher, O.P.Tiwari. Paul was  acknowledged in 2022 in the Indian tradition as “Master Yogi: Pranacharya (Breath Expert)”.  Paul was aware of the need for robust research and deep study in this field and devoted himself to academic scholarship, earning a Ph.D in Biological Anthropology from Emory University. His area of specialty was the breath and related practices, their history and origins, as well as a scientific analysis where he developed protocols and carried out a clinical trial study assessing psychological and physiological markers on mental health, stress, and longevity outcomes. Paul has taught practical workshops all over the world as well as at the University level while being an invited speaker to events, conferences or by private organizations. The ability to laugh and banter and not take yourself seriously are key to his philosophy of life. All this while being a devoted father to two sons.

Niclas in Ko Samui, Hannes in Berlin – zwei Orte, eine ehrliche Frage: Wie geht es dir? Klingt simpel, ist es aber nicht. Wir reden darüber, warum manche Gefühle gar nicht zu uns gehören und wie befreiend es ist, sie zurückzugeben. Das bringt uns zum Folgen-Höhepunkt: Hannes' extrem unangenehme Flughafen-Begegnung und die absurde Frage, ob man sich im Leben mal geprügelt haben muss. Spoiler: Nope. Eine Folge über Grenzen, Emotionen und echte Ehrlichkeit.

Su questa isola della Thailandia, mi sento in bilico fra futuro e passato. Tra super-tecnologia e un mondo per molti versi ancora molto semplice e a misura d'uomo.

Detesto i provincialotti che, non avendo mai messo piede fuori dalla Sardegna, dicono che il nostro mare sia il più bello in assoluto. Però dentro di me so che è vero.TRASCRIZIONE [Eng translation below]Il mare in Sardegna è una cosa un po' complicata, almeno per me, perché io in Sardegna ci sono nata e da sempre sono abituata, fin da bambina, ad andare al mare in posti fantastici dove l'acqua è trasparente, azzurra, le spiagge hanno la sabbia sottile, diverse spiagge con sabbia di diversi colori e, almeno gran parte dell'anno, posti dove ci va anche poca gente, quindi si può godere della solitudine sulla spiaggia, che è la cosa più bella.Dicevo, è una cosa un po particolare il mare in Sardegna, perché se in Sardegna ci sei nata, poi diventa un po' complicato andare a fare il bagno da altre parti. Io ricordo le prime volte che ho cominciato a vedere le spiagge fuori dalla Sardegna, forse una delle prime spiagge che ho visto non sarda era il Lido a Venezia, che non riuscivo nemmeno a riconciliare il fatto che fosse una spiaggia perché era così diversa, così... sì, diversa, adesso non voglio usare aggettivi, però era molto diversa dalle cose alle quali ero abituata.Poi più avanti ho visto anche spiagge molto belle in Asia, in Africa e in Australia, naturalmente ci sono delle spiagge fantastiche, però c'è sempre questa cosa qua che io ricordo ventimila anni fa quando sono andata in un'isola della Thailandia che all'epoca era conosciuta pochissimo, e adesso invece ho scoperto è diventata una cosa molto turistica, parlo degli anni '90 l'isola di Ko Samui, e ricordo questa spiaggia bellissima, l'acqua trasparente, e le persone che erano con me che dicevano, me guarda questa cosa bellissima, bellissima, e io dicevo, sì, sì, molto bella, molto bella, però non era niente di diverso da quello a cui io ero abituata. Ma stessa cosa per le Fiji, stessa cosa per un sacco di posti dove sono stata, dove c'era l'acqua bella trasparente, però quando si è abituata a vedere il fondo, la sabbia stando su una barca con quattro metri d'acqua tra te e il fondo, diciamo che è un po difficile che si rimanga colpiti dalla bellezza delle spiagge, appunto perché si nasce un po' penalizzati e ci si fa anche un po la figura della persona un po' spocchiosa che non si accontenta mai.E in effetti ci sono molti sardi che dicono eh, il mare della Sardegna, il mare più bello del mondo. A me dà molto fastidio perché è gente che non è mai uscita di casa. Però purtroppo hanno pure ragione che il mare in Sardegna è una cosa pazzesca, sono stata in posti che mi dava l'impressione di essere in chiesa con gli organi che suonavano e la pelle d'oca perché sono dei posti veramente magici. E che vi devo dire? Son nata in Sardegna!?TRANSLATIONThe sea in Sardinia is a bit of a complicated thing, at least for me, because I was born in Sardinia and have always been accustomed, since I was a child, to going to the beach in fantastic places where the water is clear, blue, the beaches have fine sand, different beaches with different colored sand and, at least most of the year, places where there are few people, so you can enjoy the solitude on the beach, which is the most beautiful thing.I was saying, it's a bit of a special thing the sea in Sardinia, because if you were born in Sardinia, then it becomes a bit complicated to go swimming elsewhere. I remember the first times I started seeing beaches outside Sardinia, maybe one of the first beaches I saw that was not Sardinian was the Lido in Venice, which I couldn't even reconcile the fact that it was a beach because it was so different, so-yes, different, now I don't want to use adjectives, however it was very different from the things I was used to.Then later on I also saw very beautiful beaches in Asia, in Africa and in Australia, of course there are fantastic beaches, however there is always this thing here that I remember twenty thousand years ago when I went to an island in Thailand that at that time was very little known, and now I found out it has become a very touristy thing, I'm talking about the 1990s the island of Ko Samui, and I remember this beautiful beach, the transparent water, and the people who were with me saying, look at this beautiful, beautiful thing, and I said, yes, yes, very beautiful, very beautiful, however it was nothing different from what I was used to. And same thing for Fiji, same thing for a lot of places I've been to, where there was beautiful clear water, however when you're used to seeing the bottom, the sand being on a boat with four meters of water between you and the bottom, let's say it's a little difficult for you to be impressed by the beauty of the beaches, precisely because you're born a little penalised and you also come across as a little bit of a snooty person who's never satisfied.And in fact there are many Sardinians who say eh, the sea of Sardinia, the most beautiful sea in the world. It bothers me a lot because these are people who have never left home. But unfortunately they are also right that the sea in Sardinia is a magnificent thing, I have been to places that gave me the impression of being in church with organs playing and goosebumps because they are really magical places. And what can I tell you? I was born in Sardinia!

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 19 of the 3%ers Business Coaching podcast. This week's episode is an interview with Doug A Wick. Now I hope the sound quality isn't too bad for this episode, but as you may or may not know I am currently in the stunning Ko Samui, Thailand and I edited this episode is a coffee shop…. So this is how Doug describes himself; “Doug Peterson founded Get Priorities Straight in 2018 to help business owners and high-income earners master their personal and business cash flow so they could reduce stress, eliminate waste and focus on what they do best. Before starting GPS, he coached and mentored business owners and executives for over 20 years to improve business results and find more satisfaction in life. While engaged in this arena, Doug discovered an underserved need; personal and business Cash Flow Mastery. This is often not taught and is key to personal and business success.” I hope that you are enjoying the new improved quality of these podcast recordings since I have started using Riverside and if you want to know more, please head over to https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=rich-hunter-rice.

It is not clear how this case will proceed as the victim is not yet out of danger and still unconscious while the two French nationals appear to be negotiating with the man's wife through the police in Bophut to reach a resolution to prevent very serious charges being prosecuted against them before Ko Samui Provincial Court. This appears to be a case of road rage with the gratuitous violence of the French men shocking local people. https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2022/10/18/french-tourists-held-in-ko-samui-cells-vincent-bugeya-julien-vincent/ James Morris reports from Ko Samui.

Ongoing investigation in Ko Samui but the arrested suspect brought from Chonburi is reported to be tight-lipped and unwilling to give police further information. The request by the victims for protection under the Witness Protection Programme is thought to be linked to suspected Russian mafia involvement in the intimidation and extortion of Mr and Mrs Abdullin. https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2022/09/29/russian-couple-ask-for-witness-protection-ko-samui-evgenii-abdullin/ James Morris reports from Ko Samui and Pattaya.

Mysterious exploits of a six-member gang including Russians, Kazakh nationals and a German have been tracked by police since Monday when the disturbing case was reported to Ko Samui Police Station. The gang is believed to have spent some time in Pattaya in Chonburi province before travelling to Ko Samui where they stayed in a hotel before and after confronting the Russian couple at a local café on the popular holiday island. https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2022/09/28/russian-gang-extort-couple-out-of-50k-evgenii-abdullin-ekaterina/ James Morris reports from Ko Samui.

Welcome back to the Seek the Globe podcast! On today's episode, Georgie & I reflect on our experience on the beautiful island of Ko Samui.

Two died while trying to take selfie shots while one, Spaniard David Rocamundi Conesa from Barcelona died while posing for a shot to be taken by friends after they had climbed to the highest point of the Na Muang waterfall. https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2022/05/16/deadly-ko-samui-waterfall-death-romanian-nane-losana-bodea/ James Morris reports from Ko Samui and Surat Thani.

Thailand is a country that many people know. Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Phuket, Ko Samui; you've likely heard of all those places. Well, today we're not going to talk about any of them. Today we're going to speak with someone who has lived there for more than two decades. Planned trips for the rich and famous across the kingdom, and find out where some of the lesser known gems are that should be on your travel radar.

Police swooped on Matthew Christensen after he had just returned from a trip to Ko Samui. The American is understood to be well known in Bangkok business and diplomatic circles and presents himself as an international commercial and technology expert, particularly in the regional energy sector. https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2022/04/02/high-flying-american-nabbed-by-police-3-million-baht-swindle-matthew-christensen/ Carla Boonkong reports from Bangkok.

The rising emergency and disruption to prospects for tourism come amid plummeting consumer and business confidence as the overall Thai economy has been hit with a record high consumer price index for February and faltering business activity.https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2022/03/11/thai-tourism-emphasises-ukraine-war-neutrality/James Morris reports from Phuket, Pattaya and Ko Samui.

On Saturday, the Superintendent of Bo Phut Police Station on Ko Samui, Police Colonel Yuttana Sirisombat, confirmed that routine enquiries into the death of the sporting celebrity revealed that there were no suspicious circumstances linked to the incident and revealed that the star had complained of chest pains at home in Australia before his departure for Thailand where he arrived last Thursday to stay with several friends.https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2022/03/07/aussie-sports-star-shane-warne-died-from-natural-causes/James Morris reports from Ko Samui.

The show welcomes back Dr. Jessica Vechbanyongratana, an economist at Chulalongkorn University, to discuss the cold, hard data on Thailand's demographics.  It sounds vague and geeky at first, but the more you look into it, the more you realize just how much you can tell about Thailand by observing things like the age that people are getting married and retiring at, how many kids they're having, the rate of household debt, and how all of these things will affect the next generation. Jessica discusses the link between all of these, as well as the changing logistics of operating a university when there's not enough students to go around and what she sees her students doing as they enter the “real world” and start to get jobs. She also talks about what to expect when you grow old in Thailand, especially if you're going to rely on the social safety nets which, to be honest, look about as robust as the green fishing nets you see draped over piers in Ko Samui. Lots of other great insights into how Thailand is moving into 2022 and beyond, and the indicators we can keep an eye on to give us an idea of how things are changing Don't forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks. And we'll keep our Facebook, Twitter, and LINE accounts active so you can send us comments, questions, or whatever you want to share.

Among the many things Thailand is famous for, one is its beaches and islands.

Strictly following the guidelines from Germany's federal agency for disease control and prevention,MSC approved to construct new  flagship terminal in Barcelona MSC Cruises has obtained final approval by the Port of Barcelona's Board of Directors to build and operate an exclusive cruise terminal. This multi-year concession will see the construction of an innovative terminal of 11,670 square metres that MSC Cruises will operate and manage for a 31-year period. The project is estimated to represent a EUR 33 million investment by MSC Cruises. With construction work set to start shortly, the new terminal is expected to enter service in 2024.This project will allow MSC Cruises to consolidate its presence in Barcelona, which is one of the brand's most important ports in the Western Med, and to expand its homeporting operations out of the city. This will result in added direct and indirect economic benefit for the city and region as more international guests will transit through Barcelona, likely spending additional days in the city either before or after their cruise.The new terminal, which will feature shore power facilities and be ready for LNG bunkering operations, will also allow MSC Cruises to deploy more next-generation, environmentally friendly ships in Barcelona. This includes MSC World Europa, the brand's first LNG-powered cruise ship, which is currently under construction and due to enter service in 2022.Not only is Barcelona an important port for MSC Cruises, but also for the entire MSC Group. Both cargo operator MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company and ferry operator GNV have a solid presence in the port. As such, the new terminal is further proof of MSC Group's longstanding commitment to Barcelona, Catalonia and the whole of Spain.MSC Cruises – has announced its restart plans for cruising from U.S. ports beginning this August.The announcement follows CDC approval of the Company's Phase 2A Port Agreements for PortMiami and Port Canaveral as well as the provisional approval of its request to conduct a simulation cruise, to be held on MSC Meraviglia from PortMiami on July 17, 2021.MSC Meraviglia will kick off MSC Cruises' restart starting August 2, 2021, with 3- and 4-night cruises from Miami to The Bahamas and featuring MSC Cruises' exclusive new private island destination, Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve.

Her first sailing as restrictions lift will see her depart Tilbury on Sunday June 27 on a six-night Scottish Highlands and Islands cruise. It will then go on to complete two, six-night itineraries from the Northern Isles to the Fjords* on July 3 and 25 respectively, and in between will take in a Great British Isles Adventure cruise from July 11 for 14 nights.When she is at full capacity, Spirit of Discovery will accommodate 999 guests across 554 cabins, although this number is being capped further for these initial cruises to observe Covid protocols.At this stage, the 540-strong crew are joining the ship over the coming days ahead. Many are returning crew members so regular guests will recognise friendly faces.Once on-board the crew will re-familiarise themselves with the ship and their roles as well as go through extensive Covid-protocol training ahead of any guests arriving on board. The ship will also undertake a number of sea trials, which enable the crew to practice and refine key elements like breakfast, lunch and dinner service, theatrical performances, the daily cleaning routine, and restocking at ports. And they'll need to be well practised, as it takes nearly five days to load the ship with all the supplies needed for her first cruise around the British Isles. During a normal port of call, restocking of the ship takes around 10 hours as food, drink and supplies are brought on board.While she was in dock over the past year, the maintenance crew also took time to invest in further improvements including the installation of handwashing stations at the entrance to all the restaurants.Princess Expands Medallion capabilities Princess is introducing a new on-demand service that allows guests to call a crew member to their exact location to make an in-person request for assistanceCrewCallTM service on demand is available on stateroom TVs as well as the MedallionClass app and leverages the innovative OceanMedallion wearable to guide a crew member to a guest's exact location to be of service to the guest.The new capability is yet another example of how Princess is leveraging MedallionClass technology to increase high-touch and personalized service versus replacing it.The corresponding CrewCall Chat feature lets guests text their specific question or request using a smart device to be answered or actioned virtually by crew.Cruise Ferry Accommodation for 1,000 Police Officers and Staff During G7 Summit in Cornwall, UKMS Silja Europa, to serve as housing for 1,000 of the estimated 6,500 police officers tasked with providing security for the high-profile leaders attending the 2021 G7 Summit scheduled for June 11-13 in Carbis Bay, Cornwall, England.This is the first in person meeting of the G7 in two years and is the largest police operation in England this year.

When you watch a person's dreams come true, there is a sense of elation and joy, both for the person, and the world! This is the magic of Birger Van den Bussche. From the high cafe shops of Antwerp Belgium, Birger followed his dream to share yoga and improves his life and the lives of people around him. He went to India, came back to Belgium and taught, and then contacted Gabe Yoga and took a chance on attending the training in Ko Samui. What he discovered was far more than more information about the philosophy of yoga. He found long lasting collaboration, a sequence (BikYasa.com) that he can use to inspire his practice and others, but more importantly he discovered how to teach more efficiently, and how to live the dreams we seek.

This podcast is about my successes and achievements in 2019. Creating this podcast was a little strange because it was all about me! This is not something that I normally do!However, I realize that many people enjoy learning more about me as a person, how I do things and what makes me tick. This is probably the reason that reality TV has become so popular.So, in this podcast, I talk quite a lot about Self Help for Life and how it has grown massively in 2019.I also share the success that I'm having with my Hypnotherapy practice in Sydney. I now have over 500 client hours and that was a big achievement for me.I'll reveal the key influencers in my life and the people that I learn from. I'll talk about books that I've read, the courses I attended and a cool meditation gadget that I have been using.I've had a lot of fun in 2019 as well. I've travelled to Borneo, Malaysia, Singapore and Ko Samui (in Thailand).

Here are some common errors: Vacation rental error 1: Failing to read the property description Always, always read the full description of a property. Don't rely on the host's flowery property description for an objective assessment. And when you encounter an owner who doesn't seem to be all there — run!

Es ist uns eine Herzensangelegenheit und für euch der ultimative Beach-Guide: Ja, Thailand ist vielleicht im Mainstream-Tourismus angekommen, aber immer noch bieten sich soooo viele Möglichkeiten, spannendes zu erleben, grandios zu essen, toll unterzukommen und vor allem: diese Strände. Diese endlos vielen und wunderschönen Strände! Ko Samui, Ko Phangan, Ko Tao, Krabi, Ko Lanta, Phuket... die Liste scheint endlos. Eine Stunde gibt es von uns für euch alles zur schönsten Form des Urlaubs.

Die Winterpause war uns zu lang, es ist zuviel passiert, als das wir das einfach so an uns vorbeilaufen lassen wollten und vor allen Dingen hatten wir Sorge, dass wir schon alles wieder vergessen haben würden, wenn denn der Fußball in der Liga wieder rollt. Das Risiko konnten und wollten wir nicht eingehen, wir haben ja schließlich auch eine Verantwortung den Hörern gegenüber. Also: Überraschung, da sind wir wieder und starten in unser zweites Kalenderjahr als drei90. Wenn Ihr überrascht seid, dass das wirklich passiert, dann fragt uns mal... Natürlich geht die FIFA nicht an uns vorbei aber genauso wenig vernachlässigen wir die Wintertransfers der Trainer, Basti und Axel streiten über Jonas Hector, David saß auf einem Kamel, Basti strandete Ko Samui und Enzo jubelt über einen Oberliga-Trainer. Gerade genug Stoff um uns die letzte fußballfreie Woche des Winters über Wasser zu halten. Und Euch hoffentlich auch. Wir waren sogar so entspannt am Ende, dass wir ganz vergessen haben über unseren ersten potentiellen Sponsor abzustimmen. Das kommt dann beim nächsten Mal, wenn wir es nicht wieder verdaddeln. Frohes neues Jahr, liebe Hörer, wir hoffen ihr habt mit der neuen Ausgabe genausoviel Spaß beim hören wie wir beim machen, wenn es Euch gefällt. Empfehlt uns gerne weiter. Wir freuen uns aber natürlich wie Schneekönige, wenn ihr -egal in welcher Form- an uns denkt. Einen Blick in die immer schöner werdende Wall of Fame gibt es hier. Und nun wünschen wir ein formidables Hörerlebnis.

 Paul Dallaghan has a yoga retreat that I can only describe as the Richard Branson's Isand for yoga...  Any yoga "real thing" you'd like is there at his place in Ko Samui, Thailand (I've been to the place twice). For example: ayurvedic treatments, infrared saunas, pool, steaming showers, excellent food, exceptional yoga and pranayama instruction and amazingly beautiful accommodations by the ocean... And he is one of the most humble people I know. What We Talked About He drops a bomb on me. I get news about his life right off the start which I did not know. Paul does NOT get jet lag... and he gives tips on how to avoid it as much as possible His start in yoga in New York after business school Since he got clear that yoga was his thing, doubts melted away and he felt a surrendering come over him. Paul is one of ONLY two students of pranayama and yoga master Tiwariji (of the Kayvalyadhama Institute in India)  we talk about it and Paul says it all happened very naturally... We talk about how he met him One thing to notice is that every time he started building the beautiful retreat centers, he had NO money. How the amazing yoga retreat he maintains in Ko Samui Thailand came to be in a very organic way The daily contemplation practice that Paul does in 4 steps, to prepare for the day and practice And how this practice continues to be very useful and helpful for him after more than decade of practice Paul says:  This practice comes from a place where we acknowledge that: "I need help because I don't know anything... And then there is life... And dealing with it... And that is why we ask for help" The Gayatri Mantra and how it helps on clarity He proposes we could all meet together in 20 years and see how the practices helped each of us Paul notices as he sees students around the world a lot of tension in the upper part of the belly and why this is What took Paul a long time to understand... The beautiful yoga room at Samahita Retreat in Ko Samui Thailand About Paul About Paul's International Teaching Schedule Twitter Pinterest Facebook Tumblr Instagram Google Plus Transcript Claudia A. Altucher:   Hello, everyone. Welcome to The Yoga Podcast. I am over the moon to have this guest with me because I've been looking for him for over, I'm gonna say, seven to eight months, and he's just so busy, but I have Paul Dallaghan. He is the co-founder with his wife, Jutima, of Yoga Thailand and Samahita Wellness – Paul Dallaghan:         Ex-wife. Claudia A. Altucher:   Excuse me? Paul Dallaghan:         That's ex-wife. Claudia A. Altucher:   Oh, I didn't know. I'm sorry to hear. Paul Dallaghan:         [Laughs] Nothing to be sorry about, but yeah, go ahead. Claudia A. Altucher:   Oh, okay. So that's news, I guess. Last December, CNN named them as one of the top ten wellness resorts in Asia. He has been trained personally in a one-on-one capacity with Sri O.P. Tiwari, a true yogi master, master of pranayama, and head of the Yoga Institute Kaivalyadhama in India. And amazingly enough, Paul was also trained in advanced asana practice with the great Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, who's the man himself, the founder of the Ashtanga Yoga Vinyasa system as we know it. Both centers – I had the opportunity to visit it twice in the beautiful island of Koh Samui, and he is also, at the moment, on top of all of this and having two children, he has been taken by the Emory University in Atlanta in the USA in the field of biological anthropology, and he's following a Ph.D. program, bringing the yogic practices and philosophy to the scientific field. Paul, welcome. So grateful to have you on the podcast. Paul Dallaghan:         Yeah, thank you, Claudia. Claudia A. Altucher:   So it is 3:38. I guess there have been major changes in your life. I know you just returned from a teacher training in Thailand for a full month. Are you still in Koh Samui time or are you in Atlanta time? Paul Dallaghan:         I'm in Atlanta time. Claudia A. Altucher:   Yeah? You've totally recovered from jetlag, no problem? Paul Dallaghan:         Well, I'm in – I never – naturally, there's a certain amount of drag that goes with the flight, but I find that it's not that big of an issue, and especially, I suppose, when you just kinda regulate yourself or maybe some of the benefit of the breath practice, I think, helps a lot. I mean, I once asked my own teacher, Tiwari G., who had just flown back from Europe to India, I said, "How are things? Any jetlag?" And he said, "What jetlag?" And this is him at 80 years of age, and he said, "What jetlag? If you do the practices, that doesn't really bother you." Now, I'm not saying that, "Oh, this magical thing and everything goes away," but rather, that a certain, I suppose, respect in working with our own natural rhythms, our own internal clock, and – if you can kind of manage the length and the detail of the flight, along with how much and when you're eating, along with when you go to bed, and your own kind of rhythmic, internal setting, which you can kind of play with a lot just via the breath, then I think jetlag is way less. In my case, I feel its presence, but it's sort of minimal. Claudia A. Altucher:   That's very interesting, 'cause I remember in 2009, you gave us sort of like a – somewhat of some suggestions to avoid the jetlag, and you suggested, "Eat before, a healthy dinner, like three or four hours before; don't eat when you're in the airport, and try to relax and move the body, and then in the morning, if you want – " and you said, "Start singing some mantras and – " [laughs] – and it was funny because you looked around like, "What would be the reaction of other passengers if you started singing mantras and do some pranayama?" – all of which I tried, and none of which worked, and it probably is because I haven't been practicing 13 years nonstop like you have, so it didn't work for me. Paul Dallaghan:         Yeah, I mean, I don't know how or what you did, so – but you know, I think the biggest thing is eating, and how long the flight is and when and how much you eat is a big factor. I mean, a lotta people get on the plane and it's around midnight and the time they get on, and then they're given the plate of food and they eat it, and – which they wouldn't be doing if they were just normally at home or whatever, you know? So avoiding those kinda little mishaps can help a lot. The rest, if you're doing any mantra singing, do that in your head, obviously. Claudia A. Altucher:   Right, yes. [Laughs] Paul Dallaghan:         And that's up to any individual for what they wanna get into, their preference, you know? Personally, I like to relax and watch a movie, you know? But usually, there's work to do. Claudia A. Altucher:   Right. So you started – you discovered, you say, yoga in 1995 in New York City, and you were on course to become an actor? Paul Dallaghan:         No, I had a academic background in economics and business, and I had done a bit of work in that after graduating in Europe, and I came interviewing on Wall Street, but something other, shall we say, was calling me. I wasn't that interested in getting a job, per se. You know, 23, 24, I felt, "Well, there's other things in my heart, and some of them just require exploration, and some, I can't put a finger on or express," but given a space and given a kind of a freedom, which is what I felt New York embodied and which is why I wanted to be there was to pull off the tie, quite literally, and explore. And one of the things I was interested in was the expression that might come through acting, et cetera, and so I went in and out of that over a couple of years there, and in the sense, sort of satisfied that urge or interest, but at the same time, the word "yoga" came into my vocabulary. When maybe I should've been looking at The New York Times help wanted section, instead, I was looking at obscure pages, say, on The Village Voice or whatever, and out of there popped the word "yoga" and my curiosity and so on from there. Claudia A. Altucher:   And so then you began a – it happened kind of fast because you began teaching in New York in 1998, so I guess – and you started with Sivananda, you had mentioned, I think, and had some explorations in that time? Paul Dallaghan:         Well, the first yoga session I ever took was Sivananda, but I also had a – got a job in a restaurant in the East Village, and I found a room in the top floor of that same building, but in between me and the restaurant was a small, young Jivamukti yoga studio. Claudia A. Altucher:   Wow. Paul Dallaghan:         So I used to have a key to the studio to go to my room, and – it just turned out, you know? So I sort of found myself, without any prior intention, in a sort of a yoga world zone. And early on, I got sort of a mental message, "Oh, you should teach yoga," but then the slightly erroneous, but rational side, said, "No, you've got other things to do." Claudia A. Altucher:   But when you say you got a message, what do you mean? You got a message from the universe? Did you read it in a billboard? How did that message come in? Paul Dallaghan:         [Laughs] Must've been a text message back in 1996. Oh, they didn't have text messages back in 1996. Claudia A. Altucher:   Right. [Laughs] Paul Dallaghan:         What I mean is you just get – I don't wanna go too much into that, but you just get sort of inner insights – or in this sense, it literally was an inner kind of voice or message that I chose to ignore until I couldn't ignore it after a few years – Claudia A. Altucher:   Well, no, once it puts the Jivamukti studio before your – between your bedroom and the world, it becomes kind of a – I mean, the mythology of that image is just enormous. [Laughs] Paul Dallaghan:         Yeah, but I – I was still intent – and I suppose I had to explore other aspects of my character or desire and ambitions, and they took a couple of years not so much to get satisfied, but to get extracted and somewhat beaten, even, so that I kind of realized what really speaks to me or interests me is, you know, to embody it in a yogic path, but it is sort of working within, working on the inside, working and – you know, via, I suppose, these practices on who I am, and I said, "Okay, let's go with life that way." Claudia A. Altucher:   So that's very interesting to me. So you – because you were very young, and to have that realization at such a young age, "Okay, let's go with what life takes – is sort of guiding me to do," is a little bit of a blessing. Paul Dallaghan:         Yes, but at that age, you don't think you're very young, you know? [Inaudible due to crosstalk] If you're 26, you don't think you're young. You're like, "Well, shouldn't I have done stuff already?" And that was part of my problem before that. It was like, "Well, I'm supposed to have got into this or done that or made that," and that's what was the kind of trajectory coming out of a academic and university setting, and that path, in itself, had to unravel. And if anything, it wasn't – there's no sheer intelligence or genius on my part; it was more just, "Let me explore and take a risk," and in the process, it was kind of frustrating or a little bit challenging to, I suppose, ego and the mental side, but on the other side, it was exciting to just sort of be free and look at things. And within that, I suppose, because being willing to explore within that came a realization, which if you look at a life, you could say it came early, but I mean, I could almost say, "Well, why didn't it happen at 18 instead of 26?" Claudia A. Altucher:   Right, yeah, the mind can always complain. Paul Dallaghan:         Not – no, I wouldn't call it complaining, but it's more like the process of going through things is important to the process, you know? It's important to the discovery, to the understanding. So if you don't allow the process to go through, then it's always something that's one step away or at a distance or – so it's not just the, "Oh," you wake up at 18 or 48, you know, and there it is; it's rather that either life has kicked us into some difficulty or challenge or something inside is unsettled or dissatisfied or wants to search and look, and that actual process is the benefit in and of itself and the kind of revealing factor. So whenever that comes up for – for me, you could say it was coming up early. It wasn't – the thoughts were there as a college student, but you're in kind of a nice, boxed world. You step out of that and then you're in the world, and so then those thoughts really came up, you know? "Okay, I can have a job, but that seems too easy," you know? Or it doesn't seem – "It won't satisfy me, so what else is there?" is the way my mind was looking at things at, I suppose, 24. Click HERE for the full Transcript  

What Is Special About Jessica It seems to me Yoga choose Jessica rather than the other way around. She had a great job in Paris in IT, she travelled all the time, and she was making money. But a workshop with David Swenson and meeting Pattabhi Jois in London between 2000 and 2002 changed everything. She could not believe how people would show up early in the morning to "sweat together", and practice this dynamic form of hatha yoga. And she liked it. So she started practicing and traveling to Mysore and meeting people and ... She  joined Yoga Thailand in its early stages as a teacher and by invitation! and met Tiwari who is one of the most serious and advanced practitioners of pranayama in the world today. That, meeting Tiwari, is something I envy her for (in a good way of course) because she got to study under direct supervision from him... they still talk on the phone. What We talked About Jessica's life in the corporate world, working for IT and traveling most of the time How she started getting into yoga slowly Her workshop with David Swenson clarifies things for her Her visit to London to take Pattabhi Jois's tour classes India An Invitation to Teach and "take over for a few months" Yoga Thailand!!!

Jessica, welcome to the Yoga Podcast. Jessica Blanchard:      [Laughter] Thank you, Claudia. Claudia A. Altucher:   It's great to have you. So I want to ask you – I'm insanely curious. You started practicing around '99, 2000 – is that so? Jessica Blanchard:      That's right, yeah. Claudia A. Altucher:   And you had a job. Jessica Blanchard:      Oh, yeah, yeah. I worked at Accenture, which is a big consulting firm, multinational. And at that time I was based in Europe Claudia A. Altucher:   Where in Europe? Jessica Blanchard:      Well, in southern France. Officially my base was called Sophia Antipolis, which is close to Nice, so – but I was traveling a lot because most of the clients were in other places. It was kind of a pan-European office, so I would travel to, say, Dublin, Ireland – that's actually where I was when I first started Ashtanga yoga, and… Claudia A. Altucher:   Uh-huh. So do you speak French? Jessica Blanchard:      Yes, I do. Claudia A. Altucher:   So were you born in France, or – Jessica Blanchard:      No, no, I was born in Louisiana, and there's a strong connection between South Louisiana and France 'cause it was originally settled by the French. So I always had a fascination with France. My grandmother spoke French; she spoke Cajun French. Claudia A. Altucher:   Oh. Jessica Blanchard:      Yeah, but I learned it in school, maybe starting when I was 13, and I did spend some time over in France when I was in university, in eastern France, in Noce, which is a small place not too many people go to, but it was great because I learned to speak really well 'cause there weren't too many foreigners. I made very good friends there. Claudia A. Altucher:   That's great. But let me ask you – so did you live in Paris with your job because you were living there, or did they hire you, or how did that happen? Jessica Blanchard:      That happened – they hired me in New York, and – Claudia A. Altucher:   I see, and you spoke French. And your job was IT, right – IT related? Jessica Blanchard:      Yes, it was. It was very different, and I really didn't know what I was getting into when I started. I was a sociology and French major, in a small school outside of Philadelphia, an all-women's college. And I managed to do well in the interviews – I don't know how – 'cause I didn't – Claudia A. Altucher:   That's great. Jessica Blanchard:      Yeah, and I – Claudia A. Altucher:   But you know, the thing is, I also had a job in IT, so I remember reading your bio – it must've been 2006 or so – and going, “Oh, my God, she is like what I want to do.” It's amazing. I mean, I think you were in Dublin one day and you take a workshop with – well, tell us. Who did you take a workshop with? Jessica Blanchard:      Well, this was actually – first it was just a yoga teacher. I am having trouble remembering her name, 'cause she doesn't teach Ashtanga anymore. But my first Ashtanga classes were with her – her name was Paula; that's right – and then soon after that I took a workshop with David Swenson. He was probably one of the first – the first ever yoga workshop I took, and that was in early 2000, I think January of 2000. I still remember it was very cold and dark – Claudia A. Altucher:   Yeah. Jessica Blanchard:      ______ Dublin, and it was ______ gym. But there were all these people. I was surprised because it didn't seem like many people did yoga. There were no yoga studios. All of the classes were in very cold church halls or gyms. We would push the equipment out of the way. The first time I met Paul was at this very funny gym; there was carpet on the floor and he was traveling and teaching there. But – Claudia A. Altucher:   And David Swenson is like a huge – is like – within the Ashtanga yoga world, probably everyone has seen his book because he teaches both the primary and the intermediate series in that book with modifications. So for those of us who can't get into the pretzel, he has sort of like side images so that you feel like, okay, yeah, I can do this, and it's very reassuring. Jessica Blanchard:      Yes, and he's a very – yeah, he makes yoga very accessible, so it's been – yeah – nice. Claudia A. Altucher:   And something happened to you there, like you caught the Ashtanga bug. You liked it Jessica Blanchard:      I loved it. I really did. I can't exactly say why. I think it's a constellation of factors about it: the moving, the breath, the fact that it does require – because it's physical, you concentrate. It requires concentration. And there was less talk and fluffiness and I think – Claudia A. Altucher:   Yes. [Laughter] Jessica Blanchard:      And it's interesting 'cause in Europe I feel like yoga was less fluffy than it is in the US since – you know, now I moved back in 2007, but Ashtanga – to me it seems like it's a little more popular in Europe than it is here in the US.
