Aber Fakt ist, Machtmissbrauch im Yoga ist ein strukturelles Problem und passiert jeden Tag – nicht nur bei den großen Gurus, sondern auch im Yogastudio nebenan. In dieser Folge „YogaWorld Podcast“ beleuchten Yogalehrerin und Autorin Kristin Rübesamen, YogaWorld-Redakteurin Carmen Schnitzer und Gastgeberin Susanne Mors, die komplexen Facetten von Machtmissbrauch und sexualisierter Gewalt im Yoga. In einem einfühlsamen Gespräch gehen sie nicht nur auf bekannte Fälle ein, sondern auch auf die Strukturen und Dynamiken, die solche Verhaltensweisen begünstigen können. Von der Herausforderung, traditionelle Hierarchien zu hinterfragen, bis hin zur Verantwortung von Lehrer*innen, eine sichere Umgebung zu schaffen, erforschen sie die dunklen Seiten des Yogas und suchen nach Lösungen für eine sicherere und respektvollere Gemeinschaft. Sie diskutieren über die Rolle von Macht und Autorität in der Lehrer-Schüler-Beziehung, beleuchten die Bedeutung von Achtsamkeit und Empowerment und erörtern, welche Maßnahmen die Yoga-Community ergreifen kann, um einen Raum zu schaffen, in dem alle Mitglieder geschützt sind. Lass dich von der Offenheit der drei Frauen inspirieren und überlege mit ihnen, wie wir gemeinsam dazu beitragen können, Machtmissbrauch zu erkennen, zu verhindern und zu bekämpfen.

Equity has been top of mind, and even a trending topic in the past few years. This concept has had many teachers and business owners taking stock of how they are, or often are not, creating intentional spaces for all voices and bodies within their yoga businesses. This notion also extends to wellness entrepreneurship for professionals of color and particularly yoga teachers who haven't felt welcome in traditional studio and wellness spaces. Today we are joined by the incredible Angie Franklin, Founder and CEO of Afro Yoga, who shares generously from her vast experience in teaching, entrepreneurship, and creating safe space for practitioners and teachers of color to flourish in their practice and business. Angie founded Afro Yoga, a global platform with local roots that offers yoga with a social justice lens and emphasis on community connection. As a wellness entrepreneur, certified Kemetic and Vinyasa yoga instructor and business mentor, Angie's work is focused on increasing access to wealth and wellness for practitioners and professionals of color. She is also a 3X Lululemon ambassador and has worked with clients that include the NBA, international Lululemon leadership teams, Microsoft, Duolingo, Kaiser Permanente, Rebbl and many more. Today, we discuss the need for white yoga teachers and business owners must prioritize progress over comfort to make lasting change, why it's important for teachings to reach beyond traditional yoga spaces and how wellness entrepreneurs of color can thrive in business today. Go follow Angie to stay in touch, and be sure to get on her email list to stay in touch on all the amazing things she has coming up, and to work with her directly. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/marketingoffthemat/support

Waylon Lewis and longtime friend and yoga teacher, Faith Hunter, discuss careers, burnout, moms, as well as tokenism and access within the yoga community. Waylon: “What's your helpful advice for whoever who are dealing with burnout and trying to take care of themselves while on the whole treadmill of being busy? Parents, entrepreneurs, students, everyone?” Faith: “I think the thing that I've learned and I probably would've told myself 10 years ago is to try my best to get rest and create some level of balance. When I was young, I was vibrant and I was excited and things are popping…and…it's hard to say no! And so I was probably saying ‘yes' to way more than I should have said ‘yes' to.”

Sunaina Madhav Dasi (they/them) is a multidimensional human that holds many identities. They immigrated from Bangalore, India in 1996 and are currently settled on the ancestral lands of the Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Ute Nations. Sunaina is a mixed-race person (Indo-Aryan and Dravidian) and speaks Tamil as their mother tongue. Their yoga practice is deeply rooted in Hinduism, Bhakti, and social justice. They follow the lineage and teachings of their ancestors and Sri Paramahamsa Vishwananda as they took initiation into Hari Bhakta Sampradaya. Sunaina uses their neurodivergent superpowers to create a more community-centered world that focuses on individual healing by embracing one's unique purpose. They believe that the answer is already within us when we choose self-love, accountability, and awareness. With their unique lens of the yogic path, Sunaina creates spaces to reclaim traditional practices, decolonize minds and abolish oppressive systems that affect us at an energetic and societal level. Outside of their practice, they enjoy modeling, photography, dancing, and directing photoshoots! In our conversation, Sunaina talks about their background as well as coming to America. They also talked about their definition of Yoga, which can be different for everyone. Everyone is on their own journey, and what you bring from the heart to your practice is always the best place to start.  The spiritual side of yoga seems to be bypassed, especially in Western yoga, where Asana is the main focus. But for Sunaina, who is deeply rooted in their traditions and Guru's teachings, uses acceptance, fluidity, and yoga philosophy to create a more accepting space for everyone.  Through the teachings of yoga, you can find true liberation. By allowing yourself to be exactly as you are, you can connect with the divine and yourself.  Start the journey now with your free 30-day membership on Omstars.com.

An intensive weeklong yoga teacher training in Costa Rica served as a major turning point in Dr. Shayla Cammarata's relationship to her yoga practice. She was dealing with several very difficult circumstances in her personal and professional life, and this retreat proved to provide the breakthrough that she needed. Upon her return, she embraced yoga wholeheartedly and committed herself to the practice. When her home studio in Wexford closed during the pandemic, Dr. Shayla and many others from that community decided that they had to do something about it.In 2021, with the support her fellow yoga instructors, Dr. Shayla decided to take the leap and start Ignite Yoga. She has since built a cohesive community where the teachers and students feel a genuine ownership of the studio. In this episode, Dr. Shayla talks about how she balances her work as an emergency room physician with running Ignite Yoga and what it means to work through personal and emotional issues “on the mat” as a daily practice.If you have any questions or if you'd like to chat, you can reach me at my contact info below.

This week, Dr. Jason Powers and Julie DeNofa are joined by Peter Maldonado, a Houston Clinical Outreach Representative at Discovery Behavioral Health.   Peter is in long-term recovery and hasn't had a drink or a drug since May 2, 2020. Although he was born in a small town in East Texas, Peter was always attracted to city life. Ironically, Peter was sent to a treatment center in Austin, Texas, where his recovery journey started. Austin is also where his career in Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder began.    Peter has worked in the field since October of 2009 and has been a part of two startup treatment centers. And he has also helped develop the recovery specialist program at Nova Recovery Center. Through his experience, Peter learned to be open-minded and listen to struggling individuals to understand better how he can support them in their journeys.    Although Peter's approach to recovery is blunt and honest, he is also very compassionate. He loves to see people progress and grow in their journey, but he also understands that the recovery journey isn't linear.    Topics Discussed: The power of showing up and overcoming Imposter Syndrome How Mentorship increases our chances of Long-Term Recovery Differentiating between Personal Recovery and a Career in Recovery The Keys for Long-Lasting Recovery  Respecting the “Disease of Addiction” and recognizing a person's humanity Finding Identity through the Yoga Community    Connect with Peter Maldonado:   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/peter.maldonado2  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/txsoberyogi/ Connect with Positive Recovery MD Podcast:   Website: https://www.positiverecoverymd.com  Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/577870242872032  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4JcDF1gjlYch4V4iBbCgZg    Connect with Positive Recovery Centers Online:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/positiverecoverycenters/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PositiveRecoveryCenters/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/positiverecoverycenters/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/positiverecoverycenters/    Contact Positive Recovery Centers:   If you or someone you know needs help, visit the website, or call the number below to schedule an assessment.

Positive Recovery uses strengths as a pathway to help others flourish in Recovery at work, and at home; this is our core purpose, our “Why.” We creatively apply science to improve outcomes. Positive Recovery is not wishful thinking; it is not a magic pill, nor self-help.    Positive Recovery is an evidence-based addiction curriculum that links the best of the old with the new, integrating existing practical approaches to treatment with interventions that enhance well-being by cultivating its components: positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and achievement.

How much free content vs paid content should you share?   Having worked with plenty of yoga teachers, there is a belief that if you share all of your knowledge for free then why will someone pay you. Or if you educate your audience on the topics that you want to teach inside your online course, then you'll have given it all for free. So there's definitely a misconception that if you give away some of your best content for free, you're going to make fewer sales or get fewer paying students. In reality, it's the opposite. This episode covers: ·  Why sharing VALUABLE content over your BEST content will help you more ·  Why implementing a content strategy is important ·  What type of content you should be sharing ·  The importance of knowing what your ideal students want from you ·  Growing your community   Join the Digital Yoga Academy Facebook community The Digital Yoga Academy Facebook group is a community of thousands of yoga teachers all over the world.

I found this emphasis to be quite profound. Finally, we conclude our chat with how her new studio album came to be — out of the depths of lockdown and building a large digital community around that shared experience.

Episode# 014Inspired by a life-long passion for health and nutrition, Derek Van Atta, the creator of Sarvaa Superfood, is living his commitment of promoting optimal living and vitality! In his senior year of High School, Derek suffered from severe digestive tract issues which forced him to begin learning about physiology and nutrition. He began eating differently and feeling much better, so he was quickly hooked by the empowering benefits of learning about food. After two years of studying Nutrition Science in college in Northern California, he moved back to Colorado and got a job in a health food store where he was even more inspired by the amazing interplay between human nutrition and having more energy, mental clarity, and optimal well-being. He then spent three years as a monk in a small Yoga Community where he learned the value of meditation, yoga and the day-to-day spiritual practice of "service to others." Fast forward a few more years and he was working crazy hours in a small start-up he co-founded in Silicon Valley.  Derek's commitments to healthy food and meditation were put to the test by the intense pace of Silicon Valley, which demanded a similar intensity in his personal exploration of nutrition, yoga, meditation and exercise. "Whenever I got lazy with my diet or other healthy habits, I suffered immediately." The improvements in daily well-being that Derek experienced whenever he fed his body superfoods, inspired him to develop his own superfood recipes. Thus began the next chapter, which was how to make these incredibly healthy blends actually taste good.  Co-owner of Sarvaa, Bronwyn Beatta's nutritional knowledge came from being exposed to different schools of thought, from Ayurveda to traditional Chinese Taoist and Buddhist diets. She also greatly values the intrinsic knowledge that her body shares with her every minute of every day! Throughout her co-evolution with Sarvaa Superfood, Bronwyn has learned even more about optimal health and glows from the inside out when she gets to share how exceptional eating habits and having a joyful outlook have shifted her life into an upward spiral. Staying in a golden state of mind as often as possible, her creativity shows up in the written word, abstract paintings, and in human connections. Bronwyn expresses her joy for Sarvaa Superfood by collaborating with her co-workers to produce the most accurate information possible on the Sarvaa website. A translator and creator at heart, her passion is that you have a full understanding of the pure goodness that you are investing in when you bring Sarvaa into your life.  Sarvaa's vision is to support your life with powerful, balanced, affordable and easy superfoods so that you can optimize your unique contribution to life on Earth. Keeping with the spirit of Optimal Health and Wellbeing, Sarvaa Superfoods are synergistic blends of botanicals that have been used by ancient healing traditions from all over the world. Each product is literally a "melting pot" of these traditions. Every superfood creation at Sarvaa is made with a consciousness of LOVE, and an unwavering commitment to the absolute highest quality possible. We love creating foods that are nutrient rich, delicious, and full of vibrancy. A "Super-Ethical" company, Sarvaa is authentically committed to primarily furthering the health and well-being of people and the planet. That means that money and profits are NOT the driving factors; money is simply a tool that serves the higher values of Organic, Sustainably Grown, Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free, Toxin-Free, Non-GMO, Animal Products Free, Unprocessed (or minimally processed), and at least 85% Raw Food.Please visit www.SarvaaSuperfood.com and use the code "EPIC20" to receive 20% off youSupport the show (https://paypal.me/EpicPodcast?locale.x=en_US)

Fast forward a few more years and he was working crazy hours in a small start-up he co-founded in Silicon Valley.  Derek's commitments to healthy food and meditation were put to the test by the intense pace of Silicon Valley, which demanded a similar intensity in his personal exploration of nutrition, yoga, meditation and exercise. "Whenever I got lazy with my diet or other healthy habits, I suffered immediately." The improvements in daily well-being that Derek experienced whenever he fed his body superfoods, inspired him to develop his own superfood recipes. Thus began the next chapter, which was how to make these incredibly healthy blends actually taste good.  Co-owner of Sarvaa, Bronwyn Beatta's nutritional knowledge came from being exposed to different schools of thought, from Ayurveda to traditional Chinese Taoist and Buddhist diets.
