Stephen Wilk returns to the Talking Life in Vermont Podcast to share the story of his month-long trip to Costa Rica and the yoga instructor training that became a deeply transformative experience.
In this episode, Stephen talks about the path that led him to yoga, the years it took to finally make this training happen, and what it was like to spend three weeks immersed in movement, meditation, philosophy, silence, community, and self-discovery. Jonathan is also joined by Miranda Schroth as they explore the deeper meaning of yoga beyond stretching, including awareness, healing, mantra, breath, joy, curiosity, and reconnecting with who we really are.
Stephen also shares stories from Costa Rica, including the food, the people, the off-grid beachfront setting, the tattoo that marked the experience, and what it felt like coming back home with a renewed sense of light, purpose, and excitement.
This is a conversation about transformation, presence, and bringing something meaningful back into the community.
And remember: if you want to change your community, you have to know who’s in it
