Seeker + Sage

Tribe,

If you haven't found Dylan, he's a "100% of time traveling" yoga teacher. Joining this weeks episode, he shares with us a look into how he became the traveling teacher. When job loss hit him, he took his part-time yoga teaching with him to Los Angeles. With a home base following, to Youtube videos and finding the opportunity to continue his journey, traveling and teaching combined in one life.

We talk about how he stopped looking into the future, trying to find a place that yoga would lead him, but rather polishing the mirror of the experience of it. How letting go of looking to prove himself to others but realizing he was trying to prove it to himself. Dylan shares with us books he's reading, what he's geek-ing out over, and expands on what he's been teaching.

Tribe, I'm honored to present to you the collaboration between the Yogi Misfit Sessions and Fierce Calm. Each month, we'll bring you a compelling story about how yoga has saved a life, with bonus mini stories on yoga's ability to heal and transform.

For today's episode I had the pleasure of sharing Mariel Whitmond's journey. A yoga teacher that has an inspiring and empowering story on how she found value in herself rather than looking for it in others.

Battling health complications, self-worth, and self-acceptance, she decided to stop living her life for other people. Changing her high-stress job in the fashion industry, focusing on her health. She took her teacher training just after two years of the journey of self-discovery. Capturing the value of human connection, and sharing her compassion for it. From a place of feeling lonely to finding how to empower others to feel that they are not.

Stay tuned to hear more stories from Blair Sanning and Cara Forrester.

Just two dudes talking about dharma...

You loved mine and Rocky's banter so much we decided to bring you "Dharma Dudes". A monthly spin-off from The Yogi Misfit Session where Rocky and I get to talk about whatever we and you want.

For our first episode, we wanted to talk about dharma. What is it? What does it mean you us as individuals? Rocky takes the driver seat and breaks it down beautifully.

Tune in and enjoy. Oh, and if you have any topic requests please make sure to send them in.

Did you know Rocky and I are leading a NYE retreat together? Check it out here:

Hey tribe, 

For this week's session, we have the hugely interesting Colin Hall. Colin is a super smart guy who really knows his stuff about yoga philosophy. Join us as we do a deep dive into philosophy, history and the current state of yoga. 

This session was great for me as I personally struggled with yoga philosophy when I first began as the concepts seemed so large and overwhelming so it's amazing to talk to someone like Colin who can break it down and present it in an accessible way. 

Hope you guys enjoy nerding out with us.

I'm honored to have Janet Stone, AKA Mama Stone, on the show this week. She's the one who helped to demystify chanting when before I used to be afraid of it and make fun of it. We sit down and chat about how motherhood and raising her daughters have influenced her yoga practice and her teaching, as well as how chanting is a gateway to opening within. We also talk about bhakti, the yoga of devotion, and how it calls for all of us to acknowledge all of our emotions, instead of suppressing them.

Chanting in Sanskrit has a special vibrational quality with none of its previous associations you might have attached. Despite chanting to various deities, or calling forth for a certain energy, it is an invocation to draw inward and start over again, and again, and again--and it doesn't matter if you are a singer or not. Next time you chant, see the emotional and physical changes that may arise. 

Tune in, and let's sing together!

Tribe, I'm honored to present to you the collaboration between the Yogi Misfit Sessions and Fierce Calm. Each month, we'll bring you a compelling story about how yoga has saved a life, with bonus mini stories on yoga's ability to heal and transform.

This session, I got to chat with Yoga Girl London, Hannah Barrett. We talk about how yoga entered her life, how it helped her during her pregnancies, especially after the birth of her second child. Her daughter Emily was born premature and the pregnancy leading up to her birth was very concerning. With this experience, Hannah now advocates for awareness on PTSD and post-natal depression and wrote an e-book called Strength Through Yoga sharing knowledge from what she underwent.

My friends at Fierce Calm are a growing collective of yoga practitioners from all backgrounds and abilities who have each identified with the words 'Yoga Saved My Life' and come together as a movement to inspire & empower each other without judgment and with compassion. This is something that I think we can all stand behind.

Stay tuned at the end for two mini stories from Icar and Adam, too.

Yogis, meet the incredibly kind and amazing Faith Hunter. I credit her with really helping me to make the jump into teaching yoga with her encouragement. For this session, we talk about dealing with her brother's battle with HIV and the huge role yoga had in her life with questioning her belief in spirituality, and what it's like to lose someone to this virus. Committing to a practice both on a physical and spiritual level, Faith was able to re-establish her connection to God, and how time to yourself is a personal haven.

We also talk about what it means to be "spiritually fly," and how being spiritually fly can show up in someone's life. Meditation is also a huge component of this practice--Faith gives her best advice to starting a meditation practice and maintaining one, letting it feel like drinking water instead of a chore. To complement daily meditation, Faith created the Shades of Soul Meditation Journal inspired by her cousin and infused with her original poems to promote healing, connection, and elevation.

My guest for this session is fellow house music lover Cristi Christensen. I knew I'd vibe with her immediately because we both value music as a connection conduit to ourselves, others, and our students. She hosts this event called Deep Exhale in LA in partnership with house DJ Marques Wyatt which combines music and fluid movement as an emotional and physical release for the body, as well as a safe space to just be. We discuss how dance is a spiritual experience and how it's awesome somatic therapy that can take the place of other vices we are prone to turn to.

Hey yogis! By now, we've finished reading book #3 of the Yogi Misfit Book Club, The Alchemist. If you haven't yet finished it--no worries! Keep on keepin' on but there are spoilers ahead!

This session, I talk about the story of the Alchemist. If metaphorical stories or self-help books are not your jam, this book will not be for you. The Alchemist is a novel by Brazilian author Paulo Coelho. Originally written in Portuguese, has become an international bestseller and has been translated into over 65 languages. As an allegorical story, The Alchemist follows a young Andalusian shepherd named Santiago in his journey to the pyramids of Egypt, after having a recurring dream of finding a treasure there.

Some things that stood out to me were following your dreams with a sense of responsibility and how love should always be supportive. The biggest thing that really struck me was also about being in the present and in the moment, going through the process that will get you towards your end goal.

What were some things that stood out to you? Let me know in the Yogi Misfits Facebook group!

Stay tuned for the next book, The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo.

Buy it here.

Keep up with all book club-related things here. See the group for details on the live discussion of The Alchemist. You'll be joining the rad kula (community) that is the Yogi Misfits.

I am beyond honored to have Sri Dharma Mittra on the podcast this week. A former body builder, jiu jitsu practitioner, and wrestler, Sri Dharma moved from his home country of Brazil to New York City with the help of his brother to study with Yogi Gupta. He then went on to assist Yogi Gupta and found the Dharma Yoga New York Center.

We talk about doing all things with compassion (and understanding that it starts from a place of ethics), the importance of studying scripture, where to start with studying the scriptures, and understanding the yamas and niyamas.

Being healthy (by way of a vegan diet), having a sense of self-control, being dedicated to a teacher, and observing the 8-Limbed Path is Sri Dharma's best advice for success in any aspect of your life.
