Walking is so simple that we can easily forget just how beneficial it is! Avery Werther joins us today to remind you of the amazing benefits that walking provides and give some tips on how to walk for maximum benefit.

Walking can improve mood, reduce health risks, boost memory, and much more! With our busy lives, it may seem that we simply don’t have the time to walk, but it doesn’t take long. Also, the benefits of walking include being more productive, so you may actually end up with more time because you set aside 30 minutes to walk!

To get the most out of walking, Avery recommends power walking. She’ll explain what power walking is, how to do it, how fast you should power walk, the calories you can walk, and more.

What are you waiting for? Podcasts make great company for walking! Download this episode, get outdoors, and let’s get walking!

Patricia is also the host of the Podcast Untangle.

In this episode, we hear all about mediation, and the reasons to make time for meditation. Many of us may think we’re too busy for meditation, but often this means that we end up going through life anxious, or with some other unwanted effect. If we just took the time to meditate, we’d feel much better!

Whether it’s dealing with everyday stresses, anxiety, relationships, performance, sleep, or something else, there are many benefits to meditation, and Meditation Studio offers meditations for them all.

You’ll also learn about the importance of treating ourselves as good as we treat our friends and tips for everyday life, bringing yoga and meditation outside into your everyday interactions.

Angela Kukhahn joins Nathalie for a discussion all about yoga! Yoga lovers, especially teachers, will not want to miss this one. Nathalie and Angela talk about being a yoga teacher, tools and techniques developed along the way, and more.

As yogis and yoga teachers, we’re always growing and evolving. Our views on what was right at one point in time can easily change, and often do, over the years.

Angela shares what inspires her to inspire others while teaching and how to address the individual in a group setting.

We hear about the use of props like blocks, belts, and blankets. Props bring many benefits, although some people have concerns about their use. Is it right to want to stick with some yoga traditions from the past, or is it okay to evolve and accept the use of props?

Social media provides great opportunities to connect and share information. Angela tells us about the growth of her Instagram account to over 80,000 followers, the dedication involved with running such an account, and even how to deal with periodic negative comments.

Everybody is on their own spiritual journey, as yoga teachers, we can only share our own experiences and aim to create the best scenario possible for students to experience their own journey.

For most of our lives, we’re taught that we need something outside of ourselves in order to feel whole and complete. But, the thing is, in this moment, all of our needs are met.

Preston Smiles joins Nathalie to talk about this, and more advice for living happily. Learn how to break down the walls to being yourself. Nobody should be holding you back. Discover the truth of your being.

Preston also challenges the idea that we all have to find just one “thing” to do for our entire lives, discusses the reasons why he thinks men should show emotion rather than repressing, and we learn about the primal benefits of doing activities like dancing, yoga, or even just screaming. They all help to dissipate negative energy, something that many of us don’t even realize needs to be done!

In a culture where we are taught and many times programed that men don't cry or are allowed to express deep feelings and emotions - Preston challenges us to a new belief system and new paradimes - not from a place of him telling us who or what to be, but from encouraging us to be exactly who we are today. 

How do we do that? Tune in to this episode for many inspirational tools and live your most authentic life.

“Nature is always speaking to us and tea helps us understand what she’s saying”

Get enlightened by this thoughtful conversation between Nathalie and WudDe Tea Master from Global Tea Hut.

Along with an in-depth discussion about tea's effects, brewing methods, and advice for beginners getting into tea, we hear a deep conversation about nature.

Are we losing our ability to communicate non-verbally in the present day?

Can tea help us change that and learn from the world around us? 

WuDe also shares information about courses taking place at Tea Sage Hut in Taiwan, what it's like being a part of Global Tea Hut, and how you can get involved.

While Christmas is a joyous time for many, it can also be a sad time, particularly for those who have experienced loss. We’ve all experienced loss, some more recently than others, and Christmas can bring on memories and feelings of sadness.

This episode, Nathalie speaks with Brooke Baudot about life and death, advice for grieving, and dealing with loss. In the western world, we seem to have a much harder time dealing with the transition than in other cultures. We never know how much time we have left ourselves, or how much time we have with others. Although it may be difficult to understand why bad things happen, we all have a purpose on this planet, and you may understand one day.

Also in this show, you’ll hear a bit about Brooke’s journey opening her own yoga studio and air plant business, near-death experiences, dreams, and a question about animals being drawn to meditation.

Following the heartbreaking violence in Las Vegas, Nathalie and Chris Galliano contribute to the ongoing conversation about dealing with these types of incidents. In our hyper-sensitized society, it can be too easy to mourn for a few days until the next distraction comes along. However, this means that the underlying issues are never really addressed.

Chris, who has spent time in the military, offers his perspective on gun violence and the 2nd amendment, and Nathalie speaks to the spiritual perspective. While Himsa means violence, Ahimsa is non-violence, and is the first and foremost of the five Yamas practiced in yoga.

The goal of this conversation is to bring attention to violence, as a step towards making the world a more loving place. How are you contributing to the situation on our planet?

What The Health Documentary

Healer, wellness consultant, licensed acupuncturist, and eastern medicine woman are just some of the many titles taken by Noell Eanes.

Nathalie and Noell begin by discussing how it’s more common these days to have a wide skillset, rather than a single job title. Noell is great proof of that, and she tells us about her background which entails Shakuju Therapy, acupuncture, meditation, and much more.

From this episode, you’ll discover the importance of finding balance and being present in life. We’re all the same, no matter how much money we have. Balance and being grounded is key, and we should all be able to achieve it. Noell explains this using yin and yang from Chinese philosophy. Learn to let go of what isn’t important and enjoy the moment. Balance also applies to relationships in terms of masculine and feminine energy.

Noell tells us about forest bathing, a practice in Japan that promotes health benefits from taking a walk in the woods, and then we round out this episode by tuning into the energies of the full moon.

Sometimes in life, we deal with seemingly negative or terrible experiences, but these can actually create space for more positive things to manifest. Nathalie and Laura discuss how to deal with these situations, and Laura shares her thoughts on understanding the passing of loved ones and reincarnation.

Laura tells us about her books, including a new one about publishing works of your own. Before wrapping up, we talk about the love of animals and Laura shares some important, inspiring messages from the other side.

You’ll hear about their adventures on the road, what they’ve discovered so far, and how they made it through the application process to land such an amazing job. In addition to lots of yoga talk, we’re reminded of how important meditation can be as well! The three discuss New Orleans’ haunted history, how Nathalie communicated with a spirit living in her home, and Rosie shares a story about her stay at a haunted hotel in the French Quarter that had to be cut short. The conversation turns to the importance of positive energy and vibes, which can be affected by things such as flowers.

We also hear what Sheena does that has led her to more success and happiness in life.

You’ll also hear about the importance of being in tune with your vibrations and taking a step back to assess your life, giving the universe the opportunity to provide what you need.

The two chat about religion, praying, spirituality, and vibrations, which leads to some discussion about aliens and messages that are not from this planet.

Wrapping up, we hear about channelers, traveling, amazing food, plus Sheena shares a delicious smoothie recipe and gives you the opportunity to win a treat!

Manifesting friendships, animals, nature, pregnancy and natural childbirth are the themes in this episode of Life On Earth. Nathalie is joined by Emily Cadenhead. We hear how the two became friends and Emily’s experience as a clothing designer.

At the time of recording, Emily was expecting that her second child would be born very soon! She explains that, for this child, they had a birth blessing rather than a traditional baby shower. For the second time, Emily is giving birth at home. The two chat about why they prefer this method using doula and midwife rather than a hospital birth. Emily also shares some insight about why nature has associated pain with a beautiful thing like childbirth and believes the answer lies in the profound feeling she had after giving birth.

Nathalie and Emily discuss how humans and animals are sharing the Earth, and discuss how to live peacefully, even with animals that may pose a threat. Emily shares a tragic story of losing pets to coyotes and tells us about how she handled running into rattlesnakes.

To round out the show, Emily shares her favorite hiking spots, and the two discuss how much they value a peaceful morning ritual.

Quotes:

“True yoga is not about the shape of your body, but the shape of your life. Yoga is not to be performed; yoga is to be lived. Yoga doesn’t care about what you have been; yoga cares about the person you are becoming. Yoga is designed for a vast and profound purpose, and for it to be truly called yoga, its essence must be embodied.” - Aadil Palkhivala, Fire of Love

 

There is a vitality, a life-force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open... No artist is pleased. [There is] no satisfaction whatsoever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others." - Martha Graham

About Our Shanti Yoga Teacher Training School :

Here is one testimonial from one of our teacher training graduates who is now teaching yoga all over the Globe :)   " My experience at Shanti Yoga Shala is very difficult to put into words because it literally changed my life.  First of all, the way the opportunity to come train at the Shala was the perfect way to start what would be a beautiful journey. I was looking for teacher trainings in the New Orleans area and I happened to come across a Vinyasa Teacher Training. which was exactly what I was looking for. At the moment I was in Panama (where I am from) and I immediately called Nathalie to book a spot and the training happened to be full. Luckily for me we had an immediate connection (over the phone!!) and she promised that if someone cancelled she would call me right away and because the Universe works in wonderful ways that is exactly what happened next.  The day she called to let me know someone had cancelled was probably the happiest day of 2014!! After that things just got better. In a short period of 5 months my life changed. I had turned around the way I practiced, I had learned more than in the past 3 years of college, I was able to begin teaching in the beautiful space, and I became part of an amazing family , the Shanti Yoga Love Warriors.  Nathalie and the whole Shanti Yoga Family are definitely a blessing and they were put in my way to help me grow and blossom. The Shala became my second home while I was in New Orleans and I miss it every single day. I recommend coming to practice here and I definitely recommend taking the Teacher Training if you wish to deepen your practice and/or teach. As I said before, my experience at Shanti changed my life and I am infinitely grateful

For this episode of Life On Earth, Nathalie is joined by the fascinating Chris Galliano. Chris tells us the story of how he ended up joining the military and talks about his time spent there, including working with dolphins who can find mines underwater. We hear about Chris’s time in Iraq and why he thinks it’s unlikely something like that will happen again. Nathalie shares her perspective on what it’s like to have a friend in the military and wondering if they’ll ever return home.

Getting into some deeper conversation, Nathalie and Chris talk about friends and family, religion, beliefs, life and death. The two share their love for New Orleans, its history, and the many events that take place there.

We hear about the benefits of meditation and stopping illnesses before they reach the physical body. Nathalie issues a simple challenge to smile at others with kindness and find something you love about them. Everything else fades away, leaving only peace and joy. The show concludes with talk about how we distract our minds with things like celebrity gossip and reality TV, how people are growing tired of it, and the benefits of focusing on something bigger.

Our guest today is Raghunath who has so much wisdom to share.

He is a long-time yogi, spiritual teacher, musician, podcaster,and co-founder of Supersoul School and Farm.

A teen in search of meaning, Ray Cappo fled his suburban Connecticut enclave for New York City — and found community among the misfits of Manhattan’s Lower East Side.

He fell in love with punk rock, so he started a band, Youth of Today,and a record label. Success soon followed.

By the late 1980’s, his bandhad thousands of fans, cementing Ray as a leading voice and trendsetter at the bullseye of hardcore culture.

At the age of 22, he experienced a spiritual awakening and traveled to India to become a monk.

After 6 and a half years, he began another successful band.

20 years ago, Nathalie and Raghunath met while they both worked at YogaWorks in Los Angeles.

He never planned to become a teacher, but was always fascinated by spiritual openness.

After moving to L.A., he realized he didn’t want to be a musician anymore, but yoga was a passion of his.

He was asked to sub as a teacher,and his teaching journey began from there.

After all this time, what does yoga mean for Raghunath?

In the past, he was always interested in alternative lifestyles and clean living, but he never approached yoga as a specific way to “fix” one thing.

It was always a search for spirituality.

Now, yoga isn’t the whole meal, rather it is the condiment for larger feasts of the soul.

We are spiritual beings that have a soul.

The goal of yoga is knowledge of the Self.

Who are you underneath your ego self?

Underneath all the trappings of the false self, who is the true you?

The body is a gift, but it is not all we are.

All aspects of yourself need to be nurtured.

Meet Aurora Brenes.

Aurora joins us from Panama, we talk about how to cultivate feminine energy in all aspects of life.

Allow yourself to open up and Awaken the Shakti Within.

Shakti is the feminine energy that creates and destroys everything in the Universe, this is a concept in the yoga tradition.

Both masculine and feminine energies are sacred and necessary.

In todays world we tend to reject the feminine energy.

Aurora talks about living in a patriarch world and how a lot of unlearning needs to happen in order to achieve liberation and fluidity in life.

Aurora mentions Melanie, who she studied ashtanga with.

Listen to Melanie's | Yoga Tradition with Melanie Fawer, Going Back to Mysore|  episode 38  HERE

In this episode you will learn...

• How does unbalanced energies affect your life.
• How to not stay so rigid 
• How to find fluidity
• Tools and practices to connect to your feminine energy 
• The 40 sacred days postpartum 
• How to surrender to shakti awakening
• Creating space for creativity
