If you've ever wondered how we ended up with the yoga organizations we have, this is the conversation. First recorded in 2024, Rebecca's discussion with Amara Miller remains the clearest, most honest account she knows of how the yoga industry organized itself — and why it looks the way it does today. They trace Yoga Alliance back to its 1999 origins as a genuine attempt at student safety and teacher standards, through the flood of money that hit the industry in the late 2000s and early 2010s that nobody was prepared to navigate, to the cultural counterculture identity that shaped how yoga professionals thought about structure and institutions. They also get into the hours-vs-curriculum debate that defined early standards-setting, the approval of fully virtual YTTs, and what it might mean to start thinking seriously about unions and community-led professional organizing. An updated conversation with Amara is coming in July — but start here. This one is foundational.RESOURCESWorking In Yoga WebsiteWorking In Yoga NewsletterThe Back RoomInside Yoga MagazineAmara's Website

What if manifestation has nothing to do with trying to “get” something… and everything to do with who you become in the process?In this episode, Kate is joined by Farhad Khan for a powerful conversation about the deeper truth behind manifestation - beyond vision boards, affirmations, and trying to force life to go according to plan.Together, they explore how real manifestation happens through identity shifts, embodiment, self-trust, and becoming the version of yourself who is aligned with the life you desire.This conversation challenges the fantasy-based approach to manifestation and invites a more grounded, expansive way of creating your life.In this episode, Kate and Farhad discuss:Why manifestation is really about becomingThe difference between fantasy and true alignmentHow desperation, attachment, and “trying to manifest” can block what you wantThe identity shifts required to create a new realityWhy your external world can only meet the depth of your internal expansionLetting go of timelines and trusting the unfolding of lifeHow self-worth, embodiment, and nervous system safety change what you attractThis episode is for anyone who feels exhausted trying to “make” their dreams happen - and is ready to step into a more aligned, authentic, and expansive way of living.Because manifestation isn't about convincing the universe or trying to control your path - it's about becoming open to the life that is meant for your soul.Journey To Japan - A Sacred Retreat Guided by Farhad Khan · Kate Harlow · Akiko Shirai Experience the beauty, culture, and wellness traditions of Japan while connecting with an incredible community.

In episode 252, Coffey talks with Beverly Parker about how recruiting and talent acquisition are evolving and why relationship-based recruiting still matters.  They discuss the shift from newspaper job ads, to Monster, to today's AI-powered recruiting platforms; why “post and pray” or “post and spray” recruiting fails to attract high-quality passive candidates; how recruiters use professional networks to identify specialized talent faster; the growing impact of AI-generated resumes and fraudulent job applicants; why recruiters should avoid over-relying on AI resume filtering tools; strategies for sourcing passive candidates in competitive hiring markets; the value of agency recruiters for hard-to-fill and specialized positions; how employers can improve hiring processes during a frozen labor market; candidate expectations around compensation, flexibility, and work-life balance; why transparency about career growth opportunities improves retention and hiring outcomes; the increasing importance of training and development in workforce planning; how younger workers want meaningful work and stronger onboarding support; the importance of hiring for adaptability and learning agility instead of static skills; lessons from building recruiting functions inside growing organizations; and how long-term recruiter relationships create stronger organizational outcomes than transactional placements.  For HR teams who discuss this podcast in their team meetings, we've created a discussion starter PDF to help guide your conversation.

Hello j'espère que vous allez bien :)Dans l'épisode de podcast de la semaine, on parle de spiritual bypassing ou l'art de contourner consciemment ou inconsciemment ce que l'on ressens souvent labelisé d'inconfortable. En d'autres termes, c'est se réfugier dans des pratiques spirituelles pour se sentir mieux et "échapper" à nos maux, nos inconforts, nos peurs ou encore nos traumas. Le spiritual bypassing nourrit une illusion qui trouve sa source dans la peur de l'adversité. Est-ce à blâmer pour autant ? Non. Passer par ce contournement n'est pas une fatalité, c'est juste un signal pour nous recalibrer et comprendre que l'expansion n'est possible qu'en embrassant la lumière et la noirceur en même temps...En bref, plein de questionnements et de réflections sur ce sujet. Je vous souhaite une belle écoute.Référence citée : "The Practice of Embodying Emotions: A Guide for Improving Cognitive, Emotional, and Behavioral Outcomes", Livre de Raja Selvam PhD._________7 jours GRATUITS pour découvrir mon studio de yoga en ligne & embodiment puis l'abonnement à 9,99€/mois• + de 300 cours créatifs et embodied en illimité et à la demande• + de 400 fâmes a avoir rejoint le voyage depuis 2022• Des nouvelles pratiques publiées chaque semaine• Free form mouvement, yoga poétique & incarné (embodiment)• 16 programmes et coffrets exclusifs• 10 ebooks mis à disposition pour compléter ta pratique off the mat et aller plus loin dans la philosophie yogi._________• Nos formations 2026 de yoga vinyasa 200 heures certifiées Yoga Alliance avec Alma Sadhana (à Bali & au Verdon) INFOS & RÉSERVATIONS• Formation "Embodied elements" 100h dans le Verdon du 21 au 30 août_________Photo de couv by @euphoria_veraBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/yogalignement--4762684/support.

We also get into the anatomy curriculum problem, the difference between a licensed healthcare provider who "knows a few poses" and an actual yoga professional, and whether higher education is the direction we're all heading—or just some of us.RESOURCESWorking In Yoga WebsiteWorking In Yoga NewsletterThe Back RoomInside Yoga MagazineGUEST LINKSSteffany's Website

Today we have Jenni Rawlings on the podcast, and we had so much fun diving into the technical side of the yoga practice- cues, anatomy, alignment, and how to update your practice to fit your own body so things actually feel good. We talk about her beginnings, how she built her career, and what it's been like teaching online. We even discovered some Chicago crossover and shared training experiences.We get into movement science, Yoga Alliance requirements, and why there's so much more to learn beyond a 200-hour training. We talk about the importance of self-inquiry, the structure of Ashtanga, strength, and adding load to the body, and whether we ever believed yoga was the end-all be-all. Jenni also shares about her time running a yoga clothing store, and we look at exercise science, pain, and what strength really means in a yoga context.Find Jenni Rawlings Online:Website: www.jennirawlings.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/jenni_rawlingsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jenni_rawlingsJoin us at the Castro Room, November 15th from 1-3 PM!Want to support our podcast?

As someone who has officially (gulp) reached mid-life, I can say that despite some of the daunting realizations (I got old??) there are so many wonderful REVElations that occur. One of them being that we have a ton of learned wisdom to share. My guest this week, Katie Rose, wrote her most recent book, Yoni Codes: Reclaim the Power to Heal, by taking inventory of her life and sharing the ways she had found to heal, grow, and persevere. Katie Rose is a yoga teacher, Ayurvedic educator, and author based in Sydney, Australia. Over the past 30 years she has taught and mentored thousands of women, published several books, and built a global community of over 28,000. Her book grew from her own experiences of trauma and healing, and explores how women can access their own codes of power through Ayurveda, ritual, and goddess archetypes. At its heart, it's about how when we heal ourselves, we heal lineages — and how reclaiming the feminine can bring profound change.On this guest episode, Katie shares about how the yoni is both a physical and spiritual gateway and how she sees modern women reclaiming this sacred power in everyday life. She also speaks to how her book blends yoga philosophy, Ayurveda, and personal storytelling and why she wove these threads together as well as the recurring wounds & themes she noticed after working with thousands of women through Bhakti Rose. Together we discuss why women's communities and circles are so powerful for healing, how ancient practices like Ayurveda and yoga support trauma recovery, & the importance of women speaking uncensored truths.Bio:Katie Rose is a yoga teacher, ayurveda guide, doula and author with over 25 years of experience in the world of wellness. She holds accreditation with both Yoga Alliance and Yoga Australia as a registered experienced yoga teacher and teacher trainer with many thousands of teaching hours under her belt.Katie was the manager of the prestigious TriYoga centre in London before moving to Sydney and opening Samadhi Yoga in 2004 followed by Jivamukti Yoga Sydney which at its peak was a four-studio business and is still a thriving community today.Her popular online courses have helped hundreds of women from all over the world in empower themselves.She is the founder and host of the annual Bhakti Women Online Yoga Summit and the author of several internationally available books including ‘Mindful Living' (Rockpool Publishing) and ‘The Yoga of Birth'.
