17. Scattered Goddesses: History as a Teacher with Dr. Padma Kaimal

Saison 1 · Épisode 17

vendredi 26 juillet 2024 • Durée 48:39

One of the objectives of this podcast is to shine a light on the work of compelling scholars, offer a multi-disciplinary approach to Yoga, and connect it to everyday Yoga practitioners.

Yoga history is vast and multi-dimensional, and can be intimidating for many. As a subject of study, it's barely given any space or thought outside of the academic realm. And yet there is an overwhelming need for many to know more and to contextualize the teachings of Yoga.

In this week's episode with Dr. Padma Kaimal, someone who has researched and published about a very specific subject in history, the stories behind the 10th century Tantra Yogini sculptures of South India.

Dr. Padma Kaimal’s book, Scattered Goddesses, traces the journeys of 10th century Tantra Kanchi Yoginis, their birth homes in ancient South India, through colonization to their present homes in twelve separate museums in North America, Western Europe, and South India.

In this conversation, we discuss:

Unpacking a non-binary approach to history.

How “seeing connections and interdependencies rather than polarities and oppositions” help shed light on the various conflicts in our world now.

How we can hold the tension of appropriation and misrepresentation of colonized cultures along with fostering narratives of inter-dependency.

Unearthing non-patriarchal narratives in Yoga.

Whether museums are the problem, the solution, or both, to fights over cultural property.

Saison 1 · Épisode 15

mardi 23 juillet 2024 • Durée 49:29

14. Getting Visible with Riss Giammalva

Saison 1 · Épisode 14

mardi 23 juillet 2024 • Durée 57:36

Marketing doesn’t have to be spooky, and visibility as a yoga teacher or entrepreneur doesn’t require “perfection.”

– Riss Giammalva

Riss is a storyteller, communications and marketing specialist, joyful movement enthusiast, and future skeleton living on land stolen from Peoria, Anishinabewaki, and Waawiyatanong peoples, now known as Detroit-ish, Michigan. In the digital management realm, Riss works to support folks in confidently communicating their ideas and aspirations on a grand scale, visually, verbally, and creatively through inclusive and diverse content creation and marketing management strategies. In the movement and wellness space, Riss assists those who do not typically ‘fit the mold’ find joy in moving their bodies, by reminding them that movement does not have to be spooky. With specific interest and focus on supporting larger-bodied, queer, trans, neurodivergent, and disabled populations, Riss believes in people over power and patriarchy, in building relationships rather than transactions, in inclusion, accessibility, mental health and collective liberation, and they believe, whole-heartedly, in authenticity, amplifying marginalized voices, and creating kick-ass supportive communities.

In this conversation, Riss and Tristan discuss:

How Riss came to yoga, what their initial foray into a social media presence looked like, and how both yoga and social media were key parts of their healing journey

The fact that showing up and putting yourself “out there” on the internet doesn’t get any less spooky over time

The role of storytelling in marketing and visibility and how narratives related to internalized oppression might impact one’s relationship to being visibile

The value of authenticity over perfection and relationships over transactions

…and more

13. Getting Embodied with Terra Anderson

Saison 1 · Épisode 13

mercredi 17 juillet 2024 • Durée 49:33

"When I talk about pleasure and embodiment, I'm talking about your unique individual moment that feels true for you in your body. Not what you're being sold. And so I think that, you know, when we're talking about oppression and social justice, and I say something like, I believe pleasure is the antidote, I actually mean it.”

—Terra Anderson

In so many yoga spaces and in the wellness world in general, we talk a lot about embodiment. But what does it actually mean to “be embodied”?

Terra Lyn Anderson has devoted their life to being a conduit for the healing connection between body and mind for both individuals and the collective. While pursuing their graduate degree in Somatic Counseling Psychology at Naropa University, Terra began to envision what the healing potential of embodiment would look like on a large societal scale, with people aware and empowered by both thought and feeling, attuned to one another, in love with and trusting of their own bodies, and able to consciously and intentionally regulate their nervous systems. Inspired by the vision of an embodied, empowered and connected society, Terra directed their focus to studying the physical impact and healing of oppression trauma. They pursued supplemental trainings in social power differentials, racial justice, intersectionality, embodied sexuality, gender diversity, and organizational transformation. Terra believes that social justice is inherently tied to the body, as is oppression and trauma. Their unique approach to healing, education and activism is characterized by a commitment to empowering the relationship between body and mind.

In this conversation, Terra and Tristan discuss:

The definition of embodiment and the role of privilege in this conversation

How embodiment connects with our consent practices, and our abilities and ways in to hearing a clear ‘yes’ or ‘no’

The role of embodiment, and pleasure, in trauma healing and in dismantling systems and challenging oppression

…and more
