Ohana Life Podcast

In this episode I was able to chat with Kaya Mindlin.    She lives yoga in every way. Her lifestyle, studies, how she raises her children, her relationship with her husband, friends and community, as well as how she makes herself in service to others with knowledge that may not be as accessible or as easily understood by others.

She lives in California and was kind enough to fit this in, in-between her very busy schedule.   I feel that she is key in helping us with our ongoing education.

We talked about how to find a teacher, using discernment, having a healthy student/teacher relationship and teaching on purpose.   She even gave a nice description of what Dharma means.

It was a very simple conversation but covered some important topics in depth.  I really did enjoy the simplicity of it and going a bit deeper, in a relaxed way.

Kaya is a delight and we are lucky to have this conversation recorded for you all.

Just a reminder that we did a podcast together in Season 1: https://ohanayoganh.com/podcast/kaya-mindlin-yoga-the-ancient-practice/

Quote:  "Teachers who are agenda free will adapt to the student.”

In this episode I was able to sit down with Jon Yuen.    He was kind enough to give us some insight into his way of thinking and processes about life.  He lives in Norway and has a humble way of conveying his thoughts on different ideals.

We talked about curiosity, fear, education at any age, the human body, what molds us as children, steps to learning, and finding your inner teacher.  It was an easy conversation where were able to take a deep dive with Jon,  and his fascinating philosophical mind from many years and hours of seeking insight into different topics.

 “The nervous system prioritizes survival over performance.” - Taylor Kruse

In this episode we talk about the body, brain, assessments, pain, building a movement vocabulary, novelty and the nervous system.

Taylor speaks about how every movement gives a result of better, same or worse.  He looks at perceived threats to the nervous system, and works tirelessly to ensure he educates in the best way possible for everyone to understand their bodies and brains better.  He even gives a nice little takeaway of what people could do every day.

In this episode we talk about how we can manage the differences in opinions of the two parties.   How to do our best to not let either result of the election disrupt our day to day activities and let it guide us into hanging onto emotions that are not serving us.    She explains a little bit about astrology and speaks about something positive to look forward to!   She also recommends carrying Black Obsidian with us as a tool to help guard against what others are feeling.

With another retrograde for Mars occurring on September 9th, and 6 others currently in retrograde, we thought it a good idea to spend the time talking about how they will affect you, other around you and the planet.   Retrogrades are planets moving backwards relative to earth, which means we have to tread over old ground […]
