Why is everyone so angry? Where is our curiosity? Compassion? How do we move ahead and get to the good work of healing if we are only in a reactive state? We simply can&apos;t... This podcast posits some thoughts on how to get clear in who we are, how we are and what we need to stop fighting and start healing.

Courage in 2019

Stop Fighting, Start Collaborating

What is bliss? Is it the absence of sorrow, anguish or grief? No, it contains those and joy. It is the moment where we stop compartmentalizing and acting as silos and we slip back into the ocean of belonging.  

Longing for Home

To surrender to true bliss is to be in both joy and sorrow.  It is to belong again to the natural rhythms of life, the great ocean. This podcast ties Adam and Eve to Purusha and Prakriti as the way in which all of us humans struggle to get back to the garden of belonging.

Humans are driving me crazy. Even at the (hopefully) end of a pandemic, we are still consuming, developing and stepping on others. What will it take for  us to come to a point of reckoning? Can we see this river of grief that we have created through decimation of nature, oppression of Indigenous people and generally bad behaviour and be courageous enough to swim?  It is time.

Crossing the River of Grief

One yoga teacher/studio owner and 2 event planners talk about the effects of this pandemic time on their lives and their passions. Mostly this time has been positive but it sure has taken some work to get it there!

Thriver Guilt

Uncertainty... There is nothing but uncertainty in today&apos;s world. What if this is actually a gift? What if we have been given this time in order to go within and find our greatest inner beauty and strength, our dharma? Can you pause in your frenetic behaviour and give up control to your soul?

I Want To See You

Two colleagues discuss what it is like to hold space for people in a time where we cannot actually sit together or touch a forearm or hug...  One, a psychotherapist and the other a yoga teacher, these two friends reflect on what could come as emerge out of this time of massive global change.

Light A Fire

This is the first in a series of podcasts reflecting on women&apos;s experiences in a full year of waves of lockdown. Women, traditionally the ones that  hold the community together, may be affected differently when cut off from their friends and acquaintances. In this session, 3 friends gather -- two that are active in theatre and the arts and me, the Yoga girl. My hope is that these podcasts will make you feel less isolated, more compassionate toward yourself and even maybe a little more sane.

Managing The Uncontrollable is Women's Superpower

Allie, the owner of Ahimsa Yoga Studio,  Barb, manager and teacher and Wendy, yoga teacher reflect on the  Ahimsa Yoga studio  community and how the closure due to the pandemic has affected us. What will emergence from this time look like? What is the cost of being cut off from our daily conversations?

The Ahimsa Community

What to do with this nagging feeling of despair as we remain in the dance of a pandemic, the reality of the effects of climate change and a sense of utter powerlessness? We must sit together in the darkened room and listen, undefended, vulnerable and open. We must summon the courage to hear the hard and still stay. Only then will we find the power with and power from within that will lead us into the light.

Despair and Empowerment

A conversation between 3 friends, colleagues and yoga instructors about the bowling ball that was COVID rolling toward our studio. Allie, owner of the studio for 22 years, Wendy, teacher and Barb, Manager and teacher all discuss the closure of the bricks and mortar studio, the pivot to online and the subsequent losses and gains. This podcast is a glimmer into what so many studios are going through right now.

When A Yoga Studio Was Forced To Close

Our tanks might be running a little dry lately so I thought this meditation could help. This meditation is designed specifically to calm your nervous system and therefore restore your energy and refill your tanks. Enjoy.

Healing Nectar, A Restorative Meditation

In this first episode of a new season, the fatigue of disruption is sitting on top of us. But, are we in the exact right place? Is this actually exactly what we need to evolve, transform and heal? I think so.

The Birth Canal

The apocalypse is easy, everything just happens for us, we don&apos;t even need to do our work! How about we grow up now and realize that the better work is to take care of ourselves and do our work.  We are stewards of this part of our earth (our selves) and so we must take care, evolve and transform. This is our dharma.

I'll See You There

What gifts do you have in this lifetime? Have you opened them or do you keep them locked away for fear of hubris and shame?  How might you transcend the pattern of hiding and move into one of celebrating your skills, your purpose, your gifts? Who needs to get out of the way?

The Otters

It takes courage to be engaged in the world. How do we allow ourselves to be fully present when the noise is so overwhelming? We breathe. We show up.
