Welcome to Episode #86 of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast! My conversation with Rina Mehmeti and Agnesa Mehmeti, sister yoga teachers and yoga studio co-owners from Kosovo, was so beautiful as they shed light on what it was like to open the first yoga studio in Kosovo and how yoga impacted their community after all the turmoil and difficulties that followed the war. If you're looking to tune into a podcast episode that is all about yoga in Kosovo then this is the conversation for you. Support the podcast: https://www.patreon.com/wildyogatribe What to expect in the Yoga In Kosovo episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast Step into the vibrant world of yoga in Kosovo with Rina and Agnesa Mehmeti, the dynamic duo behind Urban Yoga in Pristina. In this episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast, they share their incredible journey of opening a yoga studio in a country that was relatively unfamiliar with yoga just a few years ago. Rina and Agnesa's story begins with skepticism from friends and colleagues who couldn't fathom leaving their stable jobs for the path of yoga. But their passion for helping others and the word-of-mouth recommendations soon started to spread, creating a buzz around their studio. Local media coverage further introduced yoga to the community, dispelling misconceptions that yoga was simply sitting in a cross-legged position. The pandemic played a surprising role in boosting the popularity of yoga, turning it into a lifestyle choice that benefits both mental health and physical well-being. Beyond their studio's success, Rina and Agnesa offer insights into the beautiful country of Kosovo. They describe it as a small nation with stunning mountains and a young population. They highlight the warmth and hospitality of the people, making visitors feel like part of a family. They also touch upon the challenging times Kosovo faced during the war, recounting their personal experiences as refugees and the difficulties of living in a post-war environment. However, they express optimism for the future, with positive changes occurring in the country and the upcoming visa liberalization that will allow easier travel within Europe. For Rina and Agnesa, yoga is not just a physical practice but a transformative experience. It has helped them find balance, navigate anxiety, and be fully present in every moment. They view yoga as a powerful tool for healing and personal growth, instilling a sense of love, connection, and gratitude for life. Tell me more about Rina & Agnesa Mehmeti ​​ Agnesa and Rina Mehmeti are sisters and yoga teachers Kosovo. They co-own the Urban Yoga studio in Prishtina, the capital city of Kosovo. Their yoga journey started in 2013 when they first came to the practice, and they began teaching in 2017.  Agnesa and Rina have both completed various teacher training programs, including 200h Hatha Yoga in Crete at the Breath of Life School, Vinyasa Yoga in the Netherlands at the Arhanta Yoga Ashram, Prenatal Yoga in Italy at Transformational Hatha Yoga School, and  Kids Yogain Vienna at Yogaji School, and Ashtanga Yoga at Yoga Mea in Italy. They both teach Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Yin Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, and Kids Yoga.  Both Agnesa and Rina bring their extensive training and passion for yoga to their classes, inspiring their students to live more mindful lives. Their studio, Urban Yoga, is a space for growth and community, where Agnesa and Rina share their love for yoga with students of all levels. For the skimmers - What's in the Yoga in Kosovo episode?

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan may be over (for now) but that doesn't leave us in a world without conflict. While we were hip-deep in the Global War on Terror, major great power competitors have been nursing grievances and feeling rising ambitions and opportunities. In this episode, Jim takes a detailed look at the state of play with respect to Russia and China, and how that could affect the US as a nation, and us as individual citizens.   While neither of our great power opponents would benefit from a shooting war with the United States at this point in time, Jim points out that they are both conducting war by other means; the struggles are already underway. Whether by economic means, attempts to control raw material sources, or meddling with public opinion via social media channels, it's important to be aware of these methods.

I skuggan av kriget i Ukraina ökar spänningarna på Balkan. Nato har soldater i Kosovo, Ryssland har inflytande i Serbien. Hör om EU:s giv för fred och hur minsta gnista kan utlösa en ny våldsspiral. 2008 deklarerar sig Kosovo självständigt, mot Serbiens vilja. Sedan dess har det regelbundet behövts blixtinsatser från internationella medlare. Och i vintras tände det till ordentligt, Serbien gick upp i den högsta nivån av stridsberedskap mot Kosovo och EU:s sändebud Miroslav Lajcak konstaterade att läget inte varit så spänt på två decennier som det var då. Hör om motsättningarna mellan länderna, riskerna för konfrontationer och EU:s senaste försök att normalisera relationen. Medlemskap i unionen kan användas som hävstång i förhandlingarna, men frågan är om moroten är tillräckligt lockande för länderna?Instabilitet på Balkan kan gynna Putin Serbien har sedan länge väl etablerade band till Ryssland och sticker ut i Europa som ett land som inte ställer sig bakom EU:s sanktioner. Samtidigt har Serbien i FN fördömt det ryska anfallet mot Ukraina. Hör också om lärdomarna från Balkan som får ny aktualitet i och med Ukraina. När det kommer till att pressa fram snabba avtal för att få slut på ett krig, utan att lösa underliggande motsättningar och säkra långsiktig stabilitet, kan Balkan framstå som ett avskräckande exempel.

Daily News Brief by TRT World

*) Countries evacuate citizens amidst raging battle in Sudan Foreign countries have rushed to evacuate their nationals from Sudan as deadly fighting raged into a second week between forces loyal to two rival generals. Evacuation flights were continuing early Monday, with hundreds of people flown out overnight on military aircraft. Foreigners also fled the capital Khartoum in a long United Nations convoy, while millions of frightened residents hunkered down inside their homes, many running low on water and food. *) Serbian president signals possible referendum for deal with Kosovo Serbia's president signaled a possible referendum for the Ohrid Agreement for the normalisation of relations between Serbia and Kosovo. Aleksandar Vucic's remarks came on Sunday after several opposition parties requested that a referendum be held to ask citizens whether the European Union-facilitated agreement should be used as a facilitator of the Belgrade-Pristina Dialogue. Vucic said that if the opposition is asking for his legitimacy to be tested in a referendum, he is ready for it. *) Tens of people killed by militants in Burkina Faso Sixty people were killed in Burkina Faso by men wearing military uniforms, a prosecutor said, announcing an investigation into the latest attack in the insurgency-hit country. According to residents, survivors said more than 100 people on motorbikes and pick-up trucks raided Karma. The west African country is battling a militant insurgency that spilled over from neighbouring Mali in 2015. *) Australia unveils major millitary reform in bid to counter China threat Australia has unveiled its biggest military shakeup in decades, refocusing the armed forces on deterring would-be foes far from its shores. Sketching a future in which Australia would have substantially longer-range strike capability, Defence Minister Richard Marles on Monday said the decades-old territory-focused strategy was "no longer fit for purpose". Facing a more combative China, he said Australia will shift its focus to deterring enemies before they reach its shores - at sea, in the air and online. And finally… *) Türkiye's largest warship TCG Anadolu sets off from Istanbul for Black Sea Türkiye's largest warship TCG Anadolu has rendered a 21-gun salute in honour of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as it sailed through the Istanbul Strait on its way to the Black Sea.

Young Mexicans preparing to join the priesthood don't only have to struggle with matters of mortal sin or individual guilt. They are also often sent to serve communities where the country's drug-trafficking networks are highly active - and extremely violent. Will Grant spoke to some of the men who must run the deadly risks of ministering in 'cartel land'. The regional rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Iran has driven events across the Middle East in recent decades - with the two powers backing opposing sides in the conflicts in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen. Recently, Riyadh and Tehran agreed to re-establish diplomatic ties, but as Sebastian Usher explains, even as some red lines shift, the limits on public debate at home are still very much in force. The Chaco region of Paraguay was once called 'the green hell' for its spiky, almost impenetrable scrubland. It's now opening up to the outside world, thanks to a new highway called the Bi-oceanic Corridor. Some communities living in the Chaco - like the Mennonite groups whose dairy farms now dot the landscape, and the Ayoreo indigenous people of the area - welcome the new opportunities for their produce, but worry about whether newcomers will change their way of life. Jane Chambers heard their concerns. Deal or no deal? Not a game-show question, but a repetitive refrain in the long saga of diplomacy in the Balkans. The EU's foreign policy chief Josep Borell recently trumpeted 'we have a deal' after a round of talks between Serbia and Kosovo. Guy De Launey found the devil lay in the detail... or, rather, the lack of it. And on the beaches of Jersey, Christine Finn recently received some lessons in frugality - including advice on the best uses for foraged seaweed, and how to benefit from a cut-price, one-clawed lobster.

History As It Happens

The 1990s began with the collapse of the Soviet Union and expulsion of Saddam Hussein's armies from Kuwait. As the world's only superpower, the U.S. would intervene militarily – on humanitarian grounds – in countries most Americans knew little about: Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, and Kosovo (but not Rwanda). President Clinton worked with Russian president Boris Yeltsin on establishing a stable U.S.-Russia relationship. China was welcomed into the world's rules-based trading system. Democracy and capitalism appeared to be on the march. The decade ended with Russia's economy in ruins and Vladimir Putin in charge of the Kremlin prosecuting a brutal war in Chechnya. In this episode, historian Michael Kimmage discusses the faulty assumptions that underpinned U.S. foreign policy during the pivotal decade between the Cold War and onset of the global war on terrorism. If the past 20 years of failed war-making and nation-building in the Greater Middle East are cause for reflection, the origins of this strategic drift may be found in the decade where U.S. leaders hoped to shape a “new world order.”

He was eventually weaned off of 37 medications and went on to rebuild his life and assist other veterans in doing the same.

Even after seventy-five years, the UN Security Council meets nearly every day. They respond to a range of threats to international peace and security, but not all threats. Why does the Security Council take up some issues for discussion and not others? What factors shape the Council's actions, if they take any action at all?  Adapting insights from legislative bargaining, Bargaining in the UN Security Council: Setting the Global Agenda (Oxford UP, 2022) demonstrates that the agenda-setting powers granted in the institutional rules offer less powerful Council members the opportunity to influence the content of a resolution without jeopardizing its passage. The Council also decides when to conduct public or private diplomacy. The analysis shows how external factors like international and domestic public reactions motivate grandstanding behaviors and shape resolutions. New quantitative data on meetings and outside options provide support for these claims. The book also explores the dynamics of the formal analysis in three cases: North Korean nuclear proliferation, the negotiations leading up to NATO bombing in Serbia over Kosovo, and the elected member-led process to codify the principles of the Responsibility to Protect doctrine. The book argues that while the powerful veto members do have great influence over the Council, the rules of the most consequential security institution influence its policy outcomes, just as they do in any other international institution.

Jeff grew up in a small town in Ohio with big dreams to see and experience the world. Jeff was exposed to West Point early in life, and even visited the barracks when his uncle was a cadet. His early preparation and focus earned him a nomination and acceptance to the academy, but it did not prepare him for the breadth of the journey he was about to embark on. Jeff branched Field Artillery and posted to Germany with the expectation of being deployed to Kosovo for Peace Keeping operations, but stayed in Germany as a part of an Armored Task Force prepared to deploy to Iraq in support of the 173rd Airborne Brigade. Jeff would deploy to Northern Iraq early in 2003 with the 173rd Airborne and again in 2004 with the 1st Infantry Division. Jeff would serve in multiple countries across the globe and serve in various positions with the Field Artillery branch in support of the US Army, the Joint Force, and Multinational Forces. This is the first half of his story. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/joe-harrison0/support

Twenty years ago, after the wars in ex-Yugoslavia, the European Union said that the future of the western Balkan countries would be within the European Union. They would, as soon as possible, join the EU. Today, however, Serbia, Kosovo, Albania and the others, still don't belong to the EU. Why is that? Willen de huidige EU-landen dan geen verenigd Europa?

The United States Foreign Service is confronting one of the most profound crises in its history. At a time of pandemic, recession and mounting global challenges, our nation's career diplomats find themselves without the support, funding, training and leadership they need to represent the American people effectively overseas and in Washington, D.C., according to Ambassadors Marc Grossman and Marcie Ries and a team of career diplomats working on the American Diplomacy Project. To successfully navigate the Ukraine conflict, the largest war in Europe since World War II, skilled American diplomacy is critical. If we're going to deal with very difficult competitors, including adversarial countries like China and Russia, we're going to need skilled diplomats at the table, in our embassies and consulates. To do this, we must transform not only the mission and culture of the Foreign Service, but also the education and training of diplomats to meet these urgent needs around the world. Please join these two respected diplomats, Ambassadors Grossman and Ries, to talk about how to reimagine and lift up the Foreign Service to take on the twin challenges of fast-moving international events and rapid technological change. They offer clear blueprints for action to fix American diplomacy. Marcie B. Ries is a retired ambassador with more than 35 years of diplomatic experience in Europe, the Caribbean, and the Middle East. She is a three-time chief of mission, serving as head of the U.S. mission in Kosovo (2003–2004), United States ambassador to Albania (2004–2007) and, most recently as United States ambassador to Bulgaria (2012–2015). Ambassador Marc Grossman served as the under secretary of state for political affairs, the State Department's third ranking official, until his retirement in 2005 after 29 years in the U.S. Foreign Service. As under secretary, he helped marshal diplomatic support for the international response to the attacks of September 11, 2001. He also managed U.S. policies in the Balkans and Colombia and promoted a key expansion of the NATO alliance. As assistant secretary for European affairs, he helped direct NATO's military campaign in Kosovo and an earlier round of NATO expansion. Ambassador Grossman was the U.S. ambassador to Turkey 1994–1997. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
