I call it the Baliverse. Is Bali really a spiritual place? Yes. Is Ubud full of fake coaches and pretentious tossers? Also yes. Ubud has two polar opposites: the yogis and the digital nomads. Which one will you be if you were to go? After spending two months in Ubud I've gotta say that there are more fake humans with no guts than true spiritual souls. Spirituality has become a product, and youth / sexual appropriation is sometimes the end goal when selling "freedom” in places like The Yoga Barn, Ubud. Old men dancing with young women, people with no life experience selling life coaching packages. Are you really sure you know what to expect from Ubud?

On today's podcast I'll be talking with an instructor who has been with us from the start, Tiffany Schreiner! Tiffany knew from her very first yoga class that her life was forever changed and for her,  the art of yoga is a gift to be shared with all. Her Texas roots run deep and the essence of that heritage shines through in her Cosmic Cowgirl yoga classes held on the banks of the Guadalupe River at Lucky Star.  You can also find Tiffany leading yoga classes in her beloved Salado, Texas, or spending time with her precious kiddos. Her undying belief in each of our journeys to glisten & thrive beyond survival drives all that she is and all that she gives to each student ages 2-102. You can follow Tiff's cosmic cowgirl adventures on Facebook athttps://www.facebook.com/yogabarnsalado/ ( The Yoga Barn) and https://www.facebook.com/silverspurartsacademy/ (Silver Spur Arts Academy), on her website  http://www.sirenafest.com/ (www.sirenafest.com), via Instagram https://www.instagram.com/imagineertxyoga/ (@imagineertxyoga) , #theyogabarn or #imagineertxyoga and you can read more about Tiffany in https://issuu.com/justin.redfin/docs/bell_county_fall_2015 (this Bell County publication). Lucky Star Classes:  Cosmic Cowgirl Yoga *********************************************************************************** Lucky Star is a women's art and whole living sleepaway camp that takes place each fall in the Texas hill country. This is no art retreat in a hotel conference room…and no, we're not camping in tents… we're actually “glamping” in climate controlled cabins that are built into the hillside overlooking the Guadalupe River, and we're eating gourmet, chef-prepared food in a dining hall like we're at Hogwarts!  We're fully immersed in creative workshops like jewelry making, astrology, mixed media collage, apothecary, abstract painting, writing, sewing, yoga, welding, pottery, and we've even had classes on raising alpacas and tomahawk throwing!  No dishes, no laundry, no driving kids, and no deadlines or demanding bosses.  Just a solid five days to be YOU because we believe in the importance of discovering/reigniting the authentic part of you that makes you feel ALIVE and we know that CREATIVITY can be a powerful catalyst for growth, healing, self-care, connection, and just the spark you need to thrive.  When we're not at camp learning, laughing, making, and singing by the campfire, we're a thriving creative community of supportive women known as the Lucky Star Galaxy and we'd love for you to join us!   For dates and more information about our upcoming camps, visit our website at https://my.captivate.fm/www.luckystarartcamp.com (www.luckystarartcamp.com).

As we continue to speak about the Moon, I am excited to share this month's podcast episode with my dear friend and menstrual cycle activist Bex Tyrer. This brand new episode speaks about the following topics:As we have just launched our Lunar collection that focuses on the power of the Moon and all its phases, it is an honor to continue the ‘Moon'versations - so to speak - from another angle: menstrual cycle awareness and alignment with the Moon and its phases.Bex has dedicated her life's work to yoga and women's health and focuses on inclusivity, trauma work and social and environmental justice. Bex has been a full time yoga teacher at the Yoga Barn, the largest yoga studio in Asia, since 2009. How yoga is a traditional practice for men that carries much wisdom and also doesn't include women's natural cycles and bodies. Addiction and eating disorders in yoga and how the separation from our cycles and bodies can contribute to a break and separation within ourselves How women's periods are our 5th vital sign and the many different ways periods serve as an indicator of a women's health The function of women's periods, or moon cycles, and what we “give birth to” every month What a normal period actually is and what miraculous things our bodies do every month The follicular and luteal phases and how we can make the most of them What hormones our natural cycles activate and how they work with our brains, hearts and overall health How stress effects our cycles and overall health and the timing of our cycles What men can do to work with the moon phases and natural rhythms of the earth The options women have for menstrual products and how much we actually bleed every month Menopause, Perimenopause and what those phases of women's lives actually entail, with hormonal and period cycle changes How we should be celebrate Menopause and honor this sacred time in a women's life The exciting collaboration between Bex and Ananda Soul and the free offering coming your way What Ananda Soul pieces Bex wears daily The books Box mentioned within the episodes are Yoni Shakti by Uma Dinsmore-Tuli (available here on her website: https://yonishakti.co/resources/yoni-shakti-book) and Wild Power by Alexandra Pope and Shane Hugo Wurlitzer (available here on their website: https://www.redschool.net/wildpower)

On the How To Die Happy Podcast, we cover a wide range of subjects designed to open hearts & minds to the myriad possibilities available to learn how to master better this crazy world in which we live. Why? Because in a world that's doubling down on a perverse addiction to suffering, we've never had so many incredible opportunities for change as we do today. All we need is the information and stimulus to change the direction of our lives. This week, we talked to Audrey & Chris Sarquilla, an extraordinary couple who work, play, and create together on the Bukit Peninsula of Bali. What do they do? They practice and share the worlds of Bhakti Yoga and the beautiful group singing practice of Kirtan, which involves a call & response interplay between leaders and group, all of whom chant and sign mantras alongside instruments, including the harmonium. And when they're not involved in these mystical practices, they surf. Bhakti yoga (Bhakti marga) is a Hindu spiritual path or practice that focuses specifically on loving devotion. Bhakti is one of the three classical paths in Hinduism that leads to Moksha (the transcendental state attained from being released from the cycle of rebirth). The other paths are Jnana Yoga and Karma Yoga. The Sanskrit word bhakti (भक्ति) comes from the root bhaj, translated as "to adore or worship God." Bhakti Yoga has been called "love for love's sake" and "union through love and devotion." Like any other form of Yoga, Bhakti is a path to self-realisation, towards experiencing oneness with everything. How does that sound on a scale of one to happy?! One does not need to be interested in Yoga to follow this episode, as the conversation's interweaving threads are about love and devotion. I wonder: what inspires us to the levels of devotion these days? Is it work? Our family? Our partners? And in this age where time, attention, and energy are such highly sought-after commodities, how many of us practice devotion toward ourselves? Audrey said of devotion, "Devotion strikes a place deep in my heart. It can start with a thought and then become a feeling. Most of the time, it comes from a sense of awe in my daily life. Devotion is also a practice - of sitting in love and gratitude for all that I have in my life." Jules first introduced me to Kirtan at the Yoga Barn in Bali's central town of Ubud. It's safe to say that I was hooked from the very first session. Since then, we've attended many sessions hosted by Audrey & Chris. The sense of freedom, connection, and joy we experience as a group does take some beating. It's like a high vibrational musical meditation, where families and individuals come together to sing, dance, and just be—free from judgment. After listening to the interview, find out more about Bhakti and Kirtan. We were also blessed to have Audrey & Chris play a couple of songs. You can find some of their music on Spotify. Enjoy.

Welcome to Episode #34 of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast! This week, I welcome Carlos Romero onto the show. He is a yoga teacher from Venezuela and the founder of Livin' Inspired. He has been immersed in the journey of self-exploration over the last 20 years, and is the founder of Livin' Inspired. Carlos is the kind of a yoga teacher who artfully curates every moment of the mind-body-spirit journey, leaving just enough space for silence. He has taught yoga all over the world, and has been based in Bali for the last 12 years. He's been teaching at Yoga Barn for many years. My conversation with Carlos Romero, a yoga teacher from Venezuela was so illuminative as we took a deep dive into the synchronicity and transformation that has occurred on Carlos' path of yoga. Carlos defined yoga as intimacy— as moving closer to ourselves and experiencing union and connection with own lungs, our own hearts, our own selves. I hope that this conversation made you want to turn a little closer towards yourself. If you're looking to tune into a podcast episode that is all about magnificent rituals and raising consciousness through collective movement then this is the conversation for you. What to expect in the Yoga In Venezuela episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast At 16 years old, Carlos Romero took Indra Devi's book on yoga and did self-practice and self-study in the mountains in Caracas. At university he studied pharmaceutical science, though he felt an intense duality— that his heart was calling for a path of yoga, but given his age, his parents were strongly pushing him towards a university education in Venezuela. Then he started doing donation yoga classes with his fellow classmates at University. After he graduated and began working in a pharmacy, he was still teaching yoga classes after work and he felt a bit like “superman,” with taking off his lab coat and donning his yoga pants and flip-flops. He soon realized his real path was the path of yoga, that was what he was meant to do and how he was meant to serve. When an opportunity came up to move to Costa Rica and teach yoga, and then later in Bali— where he has been living for Bali for the last 12 years teaching yoga and building his yoga company, Livin' Inspired. Carlos is a well of knowledge about the many branches of holistic healing. His desire to help raising consciousness through collective movement, and to help people create a vibrant and authentic lifestyle is at the center of all his actions and endeavors. Curious? Tune into the Yoga in Venezuela episode to learn more and bask in Carlos' wisdom. For the skimmers - What's in the yoga in Venezuela episode?

Episode 43 is live!!!! This episode is all about transformation, yoga and personal journeys to express and explore our true potential, Paul and I chat:

Everyone has a pose (or position) that they struggle with... and we blame it on our tight hips! Most of us feel like our hips are tight. But the reality is there are several factors that affect our hip flexibility. Some of these factors we can influence/change/adjust... while others... we can't do anything about. The hip is a deep and complicated joint. However, the more you can understand these factors and reflect back how they relate to your situation, you'll be better informed about what's possible for your practice related to hip flexibility. Specifically, as yoga teacher's, it's SUPER important to understand these 4 key elements for your own practice and for the safety of your students. - - - If you liked this episode (or any others), and you haven't given us some love, then here's what you can do: If you listen on Spotify, give us a follow and like!

"I'm so burnt out. I've completed exhausted myself." Why is this conversation so common in the yoga community? How do we fill ourselves up? How can we sustain our work? If you're teaching 15 classes a week (which is a lot), then that's probably around 20 hours per week. Most full time jobs are 40 hours per week. So if you really think about it, are we just that lazy where 20 hours per week is too much work? Or is the work exhausting? And what is it ABOUT the work that is exhausting? Is there a way to shift or change things that so that it's not exhausting and the work can actually fill you up? - - - In this episode, Byron shares his wisdom around the topic of avoiding burnout as he experienced it during his 2nd year of working as a Yoga Teacher. There are many lessons to be learned from this episode regardless of your profession. When applied, these lessons can energize you and dramatically change your life. - - - If you liked this episode (or any others), and you haven't given us some love, then here's what you can do: If you listen on Spotify, give us a follow and like!

Giving ourself permission, forgiveness and grace is one of the hardest challenges we all face. It is an art. And it starts with giving ourselves permission first. Not always easy and often requires reminders, which is why made that the focus on this episode. This week's episode we invite Callan Mielnik, a Yoga teacher, Acro Yogi, Dance artist and overall sweetheart. Callan has strong beliefs about the power of giving ourselves permission as teachers, as well as encouraging that permission onto our students. She was taught these lessons early on from her 200 hour YTT with the School of Sacred Arts (SOSA), and they've stuck with her as one of the most important lessons learned. While this topic seems simple on the front-end, the conversation goes deep into how it connects to: Balance between Masculinity and Feminiity Being Sloppy, Imperfect and learning How to make Mistakes What it means when we're feeling "broken" And so much more.. - - - If you liked this episode (or any others), and you haven't given us some love, then here's what you can do: If you listen on Spotify, give us a follow and like!

Who HASN'T had issues with their shoulders? The thing that isn't common is what causes most issues in the shoulder. While most of us are not "anatomists", you don't need to be in order to understand some of the basics. Knowing the basics can save your shoulders in the long run. Here are a few of the facts that Michael covers in this episode: Shoulder muscles are smaller than most muscles in the body, and therefore fatigue easily. (Like when holding Warrior I or II for a long period) Over 90% of shoulder injuries are muscle-related. Most shoulder problems occur because of a lack of warm-up in preparation for a demanding task (or pose). More importantly, through this audio-interactive episode, you'll learn: How your shoulder works; and how to effectively cue movements near the shoulder to achieve a safe alignment that will feel good in your body and your student's bodies. - - - In this episode, Michael breaks down the anatomy of the shoulder in a way that allows you to create a sense of awareness of what's happening when you move. Consider this a guided body-movement-episode. If that's even a thing. :-) - - - If you liked this episode (or any others), and you haven't given us some love, then here's what you can do: If you listen on Spotify, give us a follow and like!

Yoga Teachers don't drink, swear, eat meat, or make mistakes. Ha! That was hard enough to type let alone accept as truth. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that are put on Yoga Teachers. It's true that as Yoga Teachers, we have a responsibility to help heal the world and inspire health and wellness through the practice, but not in such a way that doesn't align with your wants, needs, or desires. There's also the idea that once you become a Yoga Teacher you 'should' automatically know how to fix people's injuries or limitations. That's a hard one to get over for a lot of new teachers, and I'm happy to say that I (Michael) break that one down to the point where you can sleep better at night knowing what your TRUE responsibilities are as a Yoga Teacher. - - - In this episode, Paul and Michael discuss the unrealistic expectations that the general population puts on Yoga Teachers. To be a certain way. To eat a certain way. To have a certain "energy" about them. While some of these traits may be true for some, they are not absolutes. This episode is all about deconstructing and debunking the many unrealistic expectations and turning them into after-thoughts. - - - If you liked this episode (or any others), and you haven't given us some love, then here's what you can do: If you listen on Spotify, give us a follow and like!

Our knees are under-appreciated in life. We typically don't think too much about them until they become a problem. Depending on what your life has looked like, or what kind of activity you've gotten into throughout your life, you may have knees that are feeling older than you are! Or maybe that's just me (Michael)! Either way, the knees are super important and require a lot of TLC to make sure they can continue to carry us around this beautiful world. When it comes to yoga practice, our knees can be easily ignored and overlooked, resulting in a gradual breakdown of stability and structure. Nobody wants that. With a little self-awareness and a sprinkle of anatomy knowledge, you can make a major impact in the progression of life for your knees and for those of the students that attend your classes. - - - In this episode, Michael breaks down the essential “need-to-knows” about protecting the knees during yoga practice and how we as teachers can help to facilitate that injury prevention through simple guidance of cues, reminders, and encouragement. Not only will it protect you and your students, but your students will sense the level of care and caution that you hold within your classes and they will respect you and want to continue to attend your classes. - - - If you liked this episode (or any others), and you haven't given us some love, then here's what you can do: If you listen on Spotify, give us a follow and like!

That choice on whether you're going to... respond... or react.⁠ ⁠ In this week's episode, we welcome back Byron de Marsé as our guest to talk about so many interesting topics that it's hard to encapsulate them all in this description.... But I'll try (Just listen to the full episode, you won't be disappointed) The general theme of the episode is centered around the choice of reacting versus responding in situations within our day to day life. And how WE can make big difference in the happiness, or peace, we feel - And to those that warrant a reaction/response. Reacting usually means our emotions quickly decide our next move. ⁠ ⁠ For example, getting frustrated, annoyed, and upset when others do something that triggers you. ⁠ However, responding means that I step back from those emotions and look at the whole picture for a "minute". Asking myself:⁠ "What are possible reasons for this to be happening?"⁠ "How can I do something differently to change the outcome?"⁠ ⁠ That "minute" allows time to realize that maybe "I need to be more clear in MY communication so that others know what my expectations are, so I don't get frustrated, annoyed and upset. Ahhh yes.... that seems like the wiser choice!⁠ Wisdom is a balance of emotional mind and logical mind.⁠ ⁠ Acting from emotions is a "reaction"

Do you ever have those days where you just feel like you can't do anything right? I hear ya! It happens to the best of us. One of the most important things you can do to resolve that is to incorporate a morning routine.

Posture is relatable to everyone.. and alignment is even more relatable and important for yogis and yoginis. Most people don't realize this, but both of these are STRONGLY controlled by the movement of your pelvis! Whether you're: Sitting at a desk working and need to correct your posture... Doing a sexy dance and shaking your hips and want to know how to move and flow more smoothly... Focusing on adjusting your spine in yoga to ensure safety and prevention of injury Trying to achieve the full expression of a pose, or Want to know how to re-align your hips It can be SUPER confusing on what's actually going on in your body and it can be challenging to understand what exactly do to, or how to do it. - - - In this short episode, Michael guides you through a simple process of finding your 'neutral pelvic posture'. He'll guide you through the exploration of your own pelvic movements, the muscles involved, and the influence it has on your spine and posture. This unique style episode provides a focused concentration on how to better understand your body movement and create awareness around your core. By the end, you will feel more equipped to answer questions related to pelvic movement, the pelvic loop (spirals of energy), and guide others through restoring a healthy pelvis and spinal posture. You'll also find the answers to questions like: What's an anterior tilt? What's a posterior tilt? Which one should I be doing? How do I do pelvic tilts? How do I find my neutral posture?

One of the most valuable ingredients that make a Yoga Teacher stand out from the rest is the level of genuine depth in their teaching style. It's one thing to lead a physical yoga practice, but it's another thing to inspire through words of wisdom. So, unless you've lived/studied in an Ashram for 10-15 years, then why not learn from someone who has. That is the typical life of an Eastern Yoga Teacher. To be completely immersed in the teachings of what "yoga" is. While in the Western world, yoga is mostly about exercise, when you can incorporate the wisdom from an Eastern Yoga Teacher, your professionalism and quality as a yoga teacher will sky rocket! - - - Listen to this 30-minute episode where Michael and Paul discuss the extreme life-changing benefits of learning from an Eastern Yoga Teacher. Particularly when it comes to teacher trainings, however, not limited to only trainings. Eastern teachers have a wealth of knowledge that is so deep, that could only have been developed over the span of 10 to 15 years. - - - If you liked this episode (or any others), and you haven't given us some love, then here's what you can do: If you listen on Spotify, give us a follow and like!

"Be it. Trust it." Arguably one of the most inspiring stories I've heard in a long time, Senior Yoga Teacher, Danny Pomplun, shares his journey where he went from drug addict to a well-respected yoga teacher. Growing up in East LA back in the day, and with a challenging child-hood, pushed Danni to leave home at the age of 16 years old and live on his own. Turning to drugs, sex work, and any means to help him survive, Danni has experienced life in a way that many of us have never seen, or imagined. Through a series of events, Danni was able to pull himself out of those toxic environments and grow into an inspiration for us all. - - - Listen to this 45-minute episode where Paul interviews Danni on his life story that will inspire your day!

Flexibility is a false sense of mobility. Who doesn't want to be more flexible, right? To be able to bend over, touch your toes; bend, and move without feeling stiffness, aches, and pains, to be able to move in ways that you could when you were younger. And isn't yoga FANTASTIC for stretching? (That's pretty much all it is right... ) Most people believe that yoga is stretching, and when you stretch you become more flexible. And that's the whole point, right? Not at all! And if you're a yoga teacher, it's very important that you understand the difference between stretching, flexibility, and mobility! - - - Listen to this 24-minute episode where Michael breaks down the difference between flexibility, mobility, and stretching and ultimately how to do all three in a safe and effective way!

Why are Yoga teachers expected to know everything about injuries?!? This is common in most professions that are considered in the health and wellness space. Particularly because yoga teachers are "Movement Therapists" and so, there is a myth that they should know everything about the body, and all the aches, pains, and injuries that come with it. Well, yes... and no... It's unrealistic for a Yoga Teacher to be fully trained to be able to answer questions about injuries and rehabilitation. Unless of course, they have a background that can speak to that!

It's not easy to understand "Yoga" entirely because of its depth. Having originated in the Eastern world and migrating to the Western World, many powerful lessons have been lost on many of us. While we understand some of these life-changing perspectives, the extent to which we can relate them to our audience can be challenging. Yoga doesn't have to be as complicated as it seems, and in this episode with Byron de Marsé, he shares his wisdom on how to connect the amazingness of the Eastern perspective of yoga to the modern-day world. More importantly, how you can use simple language and experiences from your life to inspire and lead others. - - - Listen to this 45-minute episode to get a glimpse of the wisdom that comes from Byron's 10,000 hours of teaching yoga.

"One of the biggest myths of Yoga that I hope that any practitioner gets dispelled as soon as possible: Yoga is not about creating a perfect state.

“How much can I feel?”  When we experience trauma, whether shock trauma (too much too fast) or developmental trauma (too little too long), it is common to disassociate. The healing process begins with reconnecting to the body and courageously experiencing all that we reject and hold inside. Tina Nance, a yin yoga and yoga therapy teacher in Bali, is a true master of the art of cultivating interoception (the internal felt sense of the body) and meeting her edge with mindfulness and compassion. Two years ago I trained as a yin yoga teacher with Tina at Yoga Barn in Ubud and it is an honor to share her wisdom with you today.  Our wide-ranging conversation on healing trauma weaves through Tina’s journey and my own. We talk through attachment theory, PTSD, yin yoga, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, and above all radical compassion. Along the way we explore yin and yang, a mystical perspective on menstruation, and a menagerie of wisdom teachers. Finally we rest with how personal healing leads to service and how we can work with trauma during a time of global isolation.  A student of Yin Yoga founder Sara Powers, Tina Nance has been teaching yoga and women's work globally since 2001. Tina’s current focus is embodied somatic trauma integration. She teaches in Ubud, Bali. They say you have to feel it to heal it, but with the right embodiment practices, the healing journey can be a sacred and joyful dance.

Don’t rush it. Make it smooth - make it beautiful.Keep exploring, keep engaging with the practice & it will keep opening.There is room for everyone in Yoga. It’s a sanctuary for everyone. Make it yours.Yogi’s are traditionally serious rebels. Willing to do almost anything to expand themselves & explore.The teacher is there for the student.

It will keep bubbling away in many forms as the ancient tradition of Yoga evolves.Yoga is strong. It can make you as easily as it can break you. Perhaps more easily.The essence of our life force is the breath. Prana or breath is a fundamental part of Yoga & life, make a practice of it.Find a teacher that resonates with you.

This week, I welcome Paul Teodo to The Spiritual Spiral Podcast. Paul is a freaking stud and a rad guy and someone I really look up to and admire. Why? Because not only is he a musician and an amazing yoga teacher, but about two years ago, he and his fiancé packed up and left Los Angeles and moved all the way to Bali to teach yoga. How freaking cool is that?  Paul was anointed the best yoga teacher in Los Angeles in Yoga Trip Magazine about two years ago so we talk about what it felt like to be considered the best yoga teacher in Los Angeles. Paul talks about music and being creative and what inspired him and his fiancé to leave LA and move to Bali. We also talk about social media and Instagram, we discuss his acting pursuits as well as what ultimately led him to step into a yoga class and eventually become a teacher. You can check Paul out at the Yoga Barn in Bali where he currently teaches or visit him on one of his retreats around the world. You can listen to his music here and you can support my podcast by visiting my patreon page. Thanks so much for listening. 

Episode 236: In this podcast, Madelyn Moon discusses her healing journey from a strict black-and-white conservative Baptist upbringing to a more expansive connection to spirituality. Madelyn explains why she never felt accepted and connected to her religious roots and why she started to explore spirituality. She shares her thoughts on the Bible, Jesus, heaven/hell, daily confessions and so much more in this vulnerable episode. Show notes:  Religion is black and white. Spirituality is many colors. There was no clarity in religion so she was constantly exploring and asking questions. Madelyn believes that God created us all divinely and that this divine energy is pure love.

It’s pleasure. The divine is nothing but light and goodness. Her background with a strict Baptist upbringing and how everything always went back to God. Her obsession with confessing her sins and the anxiety that created. The immense fear that the idea of the Rapture created for her. How does nature not make it into religion? You are 110% in control of your life. You don’t need anyone’s permission to change your beliefs. The Yoga Barn in Bali is where she felt Spirit enter her being. “Seeing the world has wildly served me in my spiritual life.” The beef she had with Jesus and how a trip to Israel healed her issues. All people are flawed. All people are deep down in their core the same, and we are love. We are human beings craving connection and Jesus was all about that. How she views the Bible as a metaphor of living her life. Her thoughts on heaven/hell and why she doesn’t believe in it.  Chandresh Bhardwaj Episode HERE "My real work on Earth is to be as conscious as possible; to be a light; to do the best I can on Earth and then who knows what happens."

At the centre of that is the world-renowned Yoga Barn, a truly epic space that has become something of a mecca not just for yogis but all sorts of spiritual seekers looking to explore breathwork, dance and meditation When you first see it you can’t help be impressed but I know it all started with humble beginnings and one of the co-founder’s own hero’s journey from corporate world through yoga and into service. Charley Patton is one of three co-founders in The Yoga Barn and a real gem of a human being. He’s followed his truth and blazed an amazing path to create a wonderful oasis in Bali.

Matt Wilson Iceland March 2012: Becoming a Digital Nomad “Velkomin á Íslandi” I heard as I pried my eyes open getting off the red eye flight. Beautiful blonde Icelandic women with farm working physiques bullied their way gracefully to the overhead compartment.    My mountain guide met me at the terminal.  “Hello I am Siggurdur Bjarni Svienson.” (spelling) he said with a long pause.  “But you can call me Siggi he said, with a slight sense of dry Icelandic humor.”   The sun was barely up.  A thick mist of dense clouds rolled in from the North Atlantic.  The ground was black, covered with sharp lava rock. Not a tree in sight. Where the fuck am I? I wondered. I started to feel bad that humans even attempted to live here. We wound our way down the Icelandic coastline to the capital city of Reykjavik where 230,000 of the 330,000 inhabitants of this bleak terrain decided to call home. Siggi dropped me at my hostel and said he’d return that evening. I was on my own.   Becoming a Digital Nomad  What was the first thing I did on my trip to Iceland that Sunday morning at 8 am?   Answered emails. I shit you not. I was addicted. This is incredibly embarrassing thinking back at it.  Do you know how many people in that inbox truly did not matter? At the time my Co-founder Jared O’Toole and I were running a successful media site for young entrepreneurs called Under30CEO.com.  It was near the peak of our traffic numbers, at over 500,000 unique visitors per month… we had boatloads of fans from India, Nigeria, Bangladesh, and of course all over the United States, Canada, Australia, and the UK. God, we thought we were important. Note: if you want to see hilarious pictures of Jared and I on jumbotrons in Time Square, ringing the closing bell at NASDAQ, or being invited to yap about the importance of small business on Fox Business, take a look at the article announcing that Under30CEO was acquired.   How to Travel the World and Never Really Have a Chance to Enjoy It  Okay, I’m joking.  But not really. Everyone wants to be a digital nomad these days… but not so long ago, co-working spaces like WeWork were not a thing, hostels didn’t have conference rooms, and you could’ve actually found a seat at a coffee shop in Austin, Texas. The reality is, being a digital nomad is fucking awesome.  It’s why it seems that all the cool kids are doing it. And therein, lies the problem: the cool kids. Yup, I am sad to say I was one of them. Addicted to email.  Caffeine.  And worst of all, stress. The rest of this post is going to be devoted to strategies on…   How to break free from your desk, travel the world, and not stress yourself out I’ll be honest, when I hear someone describe themselves a “digital nomad” I usually cringe.  Call me a seasoned gringo, but the “cool kids club” is exactly why I packed up and left New York.  I’m not trying to hang out with a bunch of stressed out people talking about marketing, complaining about the wifi here in Costa Rica. If you really want to enjoy the “pura vida” as we say, you’ll first have to get a handle on your travel schedule.  The first rule of thumb is don’t overdo it. In upcoming posts, you’ll hear me talk about how stressed out I was my first time to Bali, traveling around the island until I found a Starbucks because I had to hit a deadline.  Backpacking and hitting deadlines really doesn’t work.  You shouldn’t try to travel South America while taking on new web design projects.  You need to find somewhere you like and develop a routine so you can be in a higher state of flow, complete you work, and then go have fun.   Choose your City As a general rule, cities have better wifi than rural locations.  This is bad news for me, as I prefer mountain hideaways and surf towns.  These places also have worse 3G and 4G cell service, which you’ll need as backup when the wifi goes down.  If you want some cities that are close to natural wonders, think Medellin, Colombia, or Chiang Mai, Thailand.  Nomad List is an incredible resource for comparing cost of living and intel on how good the wifi is.   Choose your Dwelling This for me is one of the most fun parts of living in places where the dollar goes far.  I’ve lived in $300/month local spots in Costa Rica to massive villas with a pool and security.  My current setup is a private four bedroom house in the jungle, and luckily for me, the lower level has a private entrance which I can Airbnb when I want.  During tourist season I can easily pay my rent with the money earned on Airbnb and when friends, family, or business associates come to visit, they have plenty of space.   Costa Rica is far from cheap however.  Friends who live in Thailand or Bali can afford places that are absolutely palatial.   I realize now that I’m making joining the digital nomad “cool kids club” sound a little too easy.  I want you to know that it’s often a pain in the ass to find places to live as a digital nomad.  Remember, in the developing world, a quick google search for “apartamentos Costa Rica” won’t help much.   Some quick tips: Find local expat groups like “Expatriates in Nicaragua” or “Gringos in Medellin” where there are often listings Make a local connection.  In Cusco, we found the Under30Experiences’ staff house through the brother of the owner of the hotel where we stay.  All the listings online where long term leases only. Ask around.  In Bali, Luz, my girlfriend and Under30Experiences’ Yoga Teacher, found an amazing place to stay right next to the Yoga Barn for just $20 night just by asking her driver. Avoid tourist areas, as people make more money on nightly rentals than they do renting their apartment per month.  Prices of monthly apartments in places like Barcelona become inflated.   Pay Attention to Quality of Life If your job is to work from a computer you need to think about how you can best get into flow state without the interruptions.  Remember-- you want to get your work done and then go explore, and get to know a place.  You won’t want to stay in a hostel for very long as they usually aren’t conducive to work.  There are exceptions like Selina’s across Panama, Colombia, and Costa Rica that offer built in co-working spaces. When I did a stint in Barcelona, I found a place with a kitchen, connected to a gym, down the street from a great grocery store, with great internet, and lots of cafe’s with wifi nearby just in case I needed a backup place to work.  These are the things that make me productive.   Other things that digital nomads’ love that are usually affordable and make them more productive include maid service, access to transportation and again, co-working. In Paris I lived a block from the metro and could walk to one of their Anti-cafe concepts where I paid by the hour for co-working.   Wifi The longer you stay in a place, the better you will understand where to get the best internet connection.  Here in Costa Rica, I struggled with the wifi for years until I got it figured out.  Once I discovered that I could have a 4G Personal Hotspot through my cell phone service with Movistar my life changed.  When the wifi is down, I simply put on my hotspot. Since I’ve been living here for a while, I know to immediately call a technician when the wifi is down.  It helps I’m fluent in Spanish now. Me trying to get the wifi working in French put me back down to tourist status.   I even have friends who have two internet service providers at their house in Costa Rica just in case one goes down.  Make friends with the wait staff at your favorite cafes so they will reset the router for you.  Select a workspace next door to a restaurant with good wifi.  The Under30Experiences Costa Rica Office always has a backup… thank you Sancho’s! When selecting a place to set up shop, check out Nomad List’s internet rankings before you go, and once you get to a place use Speedtest.net to see at how many MBPS you are working with.  For a general workday including Skype audio calls and podcast recordings 5-10 MBPS works fine for me.   Bring on the Fun At the end of the day it all comes down to designing the life you want.  I know it’s tempting to try to try and see the entire worldl, but you’ll need to get the backpacking and moving around out of your system until you are exhausted.  Then, go back to a place you really loved and spend more time there.  My initial strategy of traveling every five days was disastrous.  I worked Monday - Friday, packed up, and then traveled to my next destination over the weekend.  This led me to quick burnout as I describe in this throwback “Confessions of a 26 year old Entrepreneur.”   Finally, I went back to the place that had the most to offer me.  I wanted to learn Spanish, surf, practice yoga, and live in nature.  Select a place that’s right for you during this point in your life.  Realize that life on the road is lonely, so settling into a place will help you make connections and become part of a community.  I happen to love small town life, where I know everyone at my local bar.  Other people can’t stand it.   Choose what’s right for you and make sure you find yourself in a place where you can continue to learn and grow as a human. That’s the point of travel.

He talks about the moon signs, the rising signs, the planet’s transitions, the horoscopes, and a lot of the glittering truth. “To know what’s going on in the sky now, that is an extremely accurate and incredible art form.” Levi also explains the phenomenon of the eclipse. The solar eclipse in the continental US August 21st, this with be a “once in a lifetime” experience for those in that area.

Our guest today is Dr. Andrea Paige. Andrea is a naturopathic doctor, an iridologist, a colon hydrotherapist and a yoga teacher trainer. She is also dedicated to a life of cellular cleansing. Andrea is the former Director of the Detox program at Yoga Barn , the largest yoga studio in Asia and she uses nutritional therapy, colon cleansing and fasting as profound gateways to deeper healing. Andrea studied Evolutionary anthropology and holds a Masters of Science in Ethnobotany, a Doctorate in Naturopathy, and a Certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition with T. Colin Campbell at Cornell University. Andrea has a long list of certificates and trainings in her bio on her website so check that out to get the full scope of all the wisdom she’s carrying. It is vast! Andrea brings people to their own inner sense of aliveness through health, awakening, a sense of vitality, and consciousness. She is also here to raise the bar of what we consider in health to be the “norm”. “I want to bring people back to the guru inside”, she says. In her own words, she’s here to empower people to take their health back into their own hands and learn to live with maximum vitality, and to re-connect into our own inherent power, our birthright, either on the Yoga mat or through fasting/wellness programs. She leads retreats worldwide and teaches 200 and 500 hour Yoga Teacher Trainings as well as giving frequent public lectures and workshops. I interviewed Andrea at The International Yoga Festival in India where she was one of the speakers. We connected immediately , and she was my sole witness and lovingly held space for me for a hugely transformative moment during my trip to India, my dip in the River Ganga. I’ll never forget that moment really and it was really special to have her there holding space for me. In the interview Andrea goes deep on a lot of fascinating topics. She explains the power of Fasting, a Juice Fast vs Juice Feast , and her surprising take on what it was like living in Bali, where she ran the detox program at The Yoga Barn. She explains why not milk, shares her take on gluten, and is passionate about empowering people to listen to the the Guru Inside. You can hear lots of India in the background on this interview, and listening to it, it takes me back. Yogis and monkeys and Ganga oh my….   Andrea walks her talk and just one look at her makes you want to listen to anything she has to share. She is the poster child for vitality people. We had an absolute blast recording this interview and I hope you’ll be laughing right along with us! Make sure to check out the show notes at visionary-lifestyle.com/podcast to find links to tools she mentions in the interview , and go to her website to learn more about her and her offerings, and to take advantage of some of the great freebies she has there, lots of useful info there for you my Rainbow Warriors!.   Enjoy:)   Dr Andrea Paige Liveforvitality.com http://liveforvitality.com https://id.linkedin.com/pub/andr%C3%A9a-paige/26/a42/a08 http://www.1133podcast.com/english-episodes/2016/4/13/episode-37-the-4-foundations-of-health Ted Talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjqktDQBf_M https://twitter.com/aumygoodness https://www.facebook.com/andreapaigeND/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4C4jwfD5ZHmVF8sIznIB6A

  We spent 2 months in Bali and we're here to share what we did in Bali, where we went, and why we ended spending 2 months there. When we first planned our trip to Asia, we knew we wanted to go to Bali for at least a month! Amanda did her yoga teacher training there back in 2015 and loved it, and she was really excited to take Ryan back there and show him some of her favorite places on the island. We started our trip in Canggu, where Amanda did her yoga teacher training, and we spent our first few days hanging out on the coast, eating good food and practicing yoga before making our way to Ubud where we spent most of the rest of our 2 months. We really set up "life" in Ubud, purchasing memberships at Hubud Coworking space and at The Yoga Barn. Our days were spent eating great, healthy food, practicing yoga and working on some of our bigger projects at Hubud. We did take at least one day each week to explore though! We made a day trip to Seminyak, took a tour to some of the sights around Ubud, spent a day at The Bali Zoo through Voyagin, and took a day trip to Sanur. On this episode, we share why we loved Bali, what we did, and what our 2 months was like there. Enjoy!

When I imagine a woman fully empowered in her voice, I think of Noelani Love.   I first met Noelani in Hawaii when dear friend Erica Jago and I led a workshop at her studio.  Since then I've watched Noelani come more and more into her voice as a mantra singer, teacher and retreat leader.  I've seen Noelani go for her dreams, speak up for her needs and stand for her beliefs.  When we reunited in Bali, Indonesia last May for the Rising Women Leaders Bali Retreat, I wasn't even surprised when she took the floor at Ecstatic Dance at the Yoga Barn to sing the closing song with her ukulele.  I watched in amazement as she gathered over a hundred of us to sing along with her that day. On today's episode of the Rising Women Leaders Podcast, I asked Noelani if she would share about her experiences of finding her voice and how her unique experiences of motherhood and childbirth have shaped her into the woman she is today. In this episode you'll discover: Noelani's empowering experience of having a home birth  How she found her voice as a singer The vision she holds for new mamas and their babies Practices for tapping into more pleasure through sound Details about Noelani's upcoming album, Lakshmi Lullabies Links in this episode: Noelani's Indiegogo Campaign for her album, "Lakshmi Lullabies" Noelani's Shakti Sisterhood Bali Retreat Noelani's Jewelry Designs What did you take away from today's show?  and How will you add more pleasure to your life with sound?  I'd love to hear in the comments below. With love,  Meredith

Recorded in two locations - the first half in a studio at Yoga Barn nestled in the rice terraces of Ubud, the other on a platform next to the Ayung River. This class is a lot of fun with transitions and several new poses I learned locally. I hope you enjoy it!
