Ein ständiges Pfeifen, Rauschen oder Summen im Ohr – Tinnitus kann für Betroffene sehr belastend sein. Oft beeinträchtigt er nicht nur das Hören, sondern auch den Schlaf, die Konzentration und das emotionale Wohlbefinden. Viele Menschen fühlen sich dadurch dauerhaft angespannt oder erschöpft und suchen nach Möglichkeiten, um wieder mehr Ruhe in ihr System zu bringen. Reiki kann hier eine sanfte, ganzheitliche Unterstützung sein.In dieser Podcastfolge erfährst du, was Tinnitus ganzheitlich betrachtet bedeutet, wie Reiki bei Ohrgeräuschen unterstützen kann, warum Entspannung eine wichtige Rolle spielt und weshalb Reiki immer nur begleitend eingesetzt werden sollte.

Viele Menschen, die sich für Reiki interessieren, stellen sich früher oder später die Frage: Kann ich Reiki Energie überhaupt spüren? Die Antwort ist ganz individuell – denn jeder Mensch nimmt Energie auf seine eigene Weise wahr. Während einige sofort ein deutliches Gefühl erleben, braucht es bei anderen etwas Zeit und Vertrauen.Doch eines ist sicher: Reiki Energie ist immer da – auch wenn du sie nicht sofort bewusst wahrnimmst. In dieser Podcastfolge erfährst du, wie sich Reiki Energie anfühlen kann, warum du vielleicht (noch) nichts spürst, wie du deine Wahrnehmung für Energiearbeit stärken kannst und warum Vertrauen wichtiger ist als Erwartungen. So bekommst du ein tieferes Verständnis dafür, wie Reiki wirkt – und wie du deinen ganz eigenen Zugang dazu finden kannst.

In this episode, we're recording live from Nicaragua while hosting two retreats back-to-back retreats. Over the course of two weeks, nearly 50 teachers joined us from all over the world, creating one of the biggest and most dynamic retreat experiences we've ever facilitated.After sharing a few updates from retreat life (including what it's been like), we dive into a topic many teachers are curious about: the foundations of hosting a retreat.We talk about the building blocks that actually make a retreat successful, beyond the dreamy photos and beach views. From choosing the right location and pacing your schedule to creating a container that fosters connection, rest, and meaningful learning, we break down what really matters when bringing a group together.We also reflect on lessons we've learned from years of hosting retreats around the world, the mistakes we've made along the way, and why retreats can be one of the most transformative experiences for both teachers and students.If you've ever thought about hosting a retreat or simply want a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into creating these experiences, this episode is a candid conversation about what works, what doesn't, and why retreats continue to be such a powerful part of the yoga community.Want to support our podcast?

What happens when devotion slips into blind obedience? Harmony opens this episode with a frank reflection on power, consent, and autonomy in yoga. She then welcomes Tamara Cole, a yoga teacher and former boat captain whose journey took her from Bikram's hot rooms to a life of freedom and integrity in the Galápagos Islands. Together, they unpack how groupthink, hierarchy, and manipulation take root in spiritual spaces — and what it looks like to rebuild a practice grounded in awareness, consent, and community. Tamara also shares her upcoming Galápagos Yoga Retreat, where participants reconnect with nature through snorkeling, island exploration, and mindful movement. The conversation closes with Harmony's 21-Day Money Magic & Manifestation Challenge, an embodiment-based program that helped Tamara rewire her scarcity stories and rediscover self-worth, grace, and generosity. Episode Breakdown Devotion vs. Obedience in Yoga: Harmony explores where trust becomes compliance Tamara's Story: From Florida business owner to devoted Bikram practitioner Inside Bikram Training: Bootcamp culture, sleep deprivation, and witnessing abuse Moments of Resistance: Choosing to walk out when a teacher crosses the line Groupthink and Belonging: Why students stay, even when boundaries are broken Life in the Galápagos: Conservation, connection, and the beauty of coexisting with nature Retreat Highlights: Three uninhabited islands, snorkeling, cacao ceremony, yoga, and rest Money Magic Challenge: Healing inherited beliefs and redefining abundance Community as Medicine: Why doing the work together creates lasting change Guest Bio Tamara Cole is a yoga teacher and 100-ton licensed boat captain who spent nearly two decades teaching in Hawai‘i before relocating to the Galápagos Islands. She began practicing yoga in 2008 and trained in the Bikram system before shifting toward more holistic, heart-centered approaches. Tamara now leads transformative yoga retreats that weave movement, mindfulness, and connection to nature. She is also a graduate of Harmony's Lightworker Mastermind program, where she deepened her somatic and energetic practices while developing her signature Galápagos retreat.

"It's so scary to be nobody."In this episode, I'm talking with Yarmila Alfonzetti, one of Australia's leading arts professionals, a mother, a wife, a friend, and, in the truest sense of the word, a curious yogi.Yarmila joins me with so much joy and openness to share her journey as a yogi. Together, we dive into themes of identity, ego, and what makes yoga retreats so special. She speaks about the gift of silence in practice, the experience of bliss, and how personal growth brings its own responsibilities. Along the way, we reflect on the wisdom of our many teachers and the transformative power of retreats, reminding us that yoga is truly a lifelong journey of self-discovery and deeper understanding.Here are a few of the nuggets we explore:➖ Accepting our inner seeking nature can be challenging. ➖ The ego can be a significant barrier to growth. ➖ Silence and meditation become more important as practice deepens. ➖ The path of seeking is often filled with challenges and fears. ➖ Morality and kindness are essential in the pursuit of truth. ➖ Yoga retreats offer space for real learning and personal growth.I loved this candid and spontaneous conversation with Yarmila. She mentioned that she always tries to be the best person in the room, and I believe she truly is.This chat really feels like sitting down with two friends, and I think you'll feel that too.✨ Also, tune in to the intro for a special scholarship offer for our India retreat—open to one of our Curious Yogi Podcast listeners!In oneness, BobbiThanks for listening!
