This conversation traces what happens when yoga is not just a class but a way of living. Harmony speaks with nutritionist and longtime Ashtanga practitioner Karolina Zakrzewska about two decades in India, managing Purple Valley in Goa, opening the Tenerife sister center, and how dedication to practice intersected with her recovery from disordered eating. They explore the “fire” that fuels Ashtanga, the risk of letting that fire consume us, and practical, compassionate ways to nourish body, mind, and spirit through seasons of change, including perimenopause and midlife.

Karolina Zakrzewska is a nutritionist specializing in dysfunctional eating and eating disorders. A longtime Ashtanga practitioner, she managed Purple Valley in Goa for many years and helped launch its partner retreat in Tenerife. Karolina works with individuals and yoga teacher trainings to build compassionate awareness around food, body image, and sustainable practice.

What does it mean to be psychic—and how do we learn to trust our intuition without feeling overwhelmed? In this episode of the Finding Harmony Podcast, Harmony Slater sits down with Lisa Campion, a master psychic, medium, and Reiki teacher with over three decades of experience mentoring healers and supporting sensitive souls.

Together, they explore how psychic ability develops, the role of trauma and nervous system regulation in spiritual growth, and the difference between vibrational healing (like Reiki) and multidimensional practices such as quantum healing. Lisa shares her story of being “born psychic” in a world that didn’t talk about such things, and how she went on to combine psychotherapy, Reiki, and psychic mentoring into a career that empowers others to access their own intuitive wisdom.

Listeners will learn practical tools to ground themselves, clear their energy field, and recognize their unique “truth signals.” Whether you’ve always felt a little “too sensitive for this world” or are simply curious about what your intuition is trying to tell you, this conversation offers inspiration, clarity, and a pathway into trusting the unseen.

What happens when the center of your practice—the teacher, the lineage, the external validation—suddenly disappears? In this deeply engaging conversation, hosts Harmony Slater and Russell Case sit down with Meghan Marshall, longtime Ashtanga teacher and founder of Mysore Yoga Philadelphia, to explore the evolving landscape of practice in a post-guru era.

Meghan, affectionately known in South Philly as the “benevolent Ashtanga overlord,” shares how a stroke mid-practice in 2019 altered her perspective on yoga and opened the door to Pilates. Together, they discuss the parallels between Pilates and Ashtanga, the cultural dynamics of lineage, and the emotional upheaval many practitioners feel as the Ashtanga community shifts.

This episode weaves humor, honesty, and deep inquiry into what it means to keep practicing—not out of obligation, but as a living, adaptive, personal commitment.

In this deeply reflective solo episode, host Harmony Slater addresses a heated debate currently circling the global Ashtanga yoga community: certifications and their legitimacy. Drawing from her own decades of practice and personal memories of studying with Sharath Jois, Harmony offers her perspective on what certification really means — and what it doesn’t.

She invites us to step back from the noise of division and instead consider the larger crises happening across our world: climate disasters, hunger, war, and the erosion of human connection. With tenderness, honesty, and wisdom, Harmony explores grief, impermanence, and the essence of yoga as union—not fracture.

Through stories, reflections, and quotes from Sharath, she reminds us that yoga is not a piece of paper, nor is it found in hierarchy, but in how we live, love, and treat one another.

This conversation explores the lived experience of practicing and teaching Ashtanga as a visible minority, and what it takes to evolve a lineage without losing its heart. We examine how unspoken norms, lack of clear standards, and performance-driven culture can exclude people, and what a more inclusive, structured, and compassionate approach looks like in real rooms.

Have you ever felt like your story wasn’t really yours?

In today’s powerful conversation, Harmony speaks with transformational coach and Akashic Records teacher Bhavya Gaur about the process of reclaiming your story—and your worth—from the ashes of trauma.

Bhavya shares her journey from growing up in India under the weight of cultural conditioning, through the unraveling of a toxic marriage, to creating a new life of sovereignty and spiritual alignment in Canada. Along the way, she discovered deep healing through Reiki, somatic work, and the Akashic Records—tools that helped her reconnect to her voice and her value.

This episode is an invitation to consider: What are the stories you’ve inherited, and what truth is waiting for you underneath them?

▸ What it really means to claim your worth—not as a concept, but as a lived experience

▸ The impact of growing up in a culture that values obedience and silence

▸ Learning to recognize the trauma of “being good” and the roles we’re conditioned to perform

▸ The moment of awakening that led Bhavya to leave her marriage and country with her daughters

▸ How Reiki opened the door to body-led healing

▸ Understanding the Akashic Records as a space of energetic remembrance—not fortune telling

▸ The role of service, intuition, and channeling in ethical spiritual work

▸ Why spiritual reclamation isn’t about bypassing—but about finally witnessing your truth

Bhavya Gaur is a transformational leadership coach, energy healer, breathwork facilitator, and internationally certified Akashic Records teacher. After leaving an abusive marriage and immigrating to Canada as a single mother, Bhavya rebuilt her life by reconnecting with her inner wisdom and reclaiming her sense of self-worth. She is the founder of Kindred Soulzs Academy and the author of Worthy to Be Me, where she guides others through the path of soul remembrance and embodied leadership.
