The Glo Podcast

Derik discusses the founding years of Glo with the first teacher he approached, Jo Tastula. Located in Western Australia, Jo chats with Derik about her unique upbringing, how it changed her teaching style, and the ups and downs of her journey to becoming a yoga teacher. She shares how her practice has helped to create a sacred space for healing in some of her most difficult moments—losing both of her parents, pregnancy, and parenthood. Jo shares profound anecdotes about her own journey to becoming a yoga teacher from mysticism and plant medicine, to the enigma of defining yoga, “Just when you think you have it, it slips from your fingers.”

This episode of The Glo Podcast, Derik speaks with celebrated photographer and yogi, Robert Sturman, whose work has taken him around the world, into prisons, and behind the scenes on military bases. He’s also been the official artist of iconic events such as Grammy Awards, FIFA World Cup, and U.S. Olympics. Sturman discusses his parallel journey as a yogi and developing his skills as a photographer, and how the two practices have supported him in living a life of connection, compassion, and challenge. He describes yoga as “the most beautiful, figurative poetry ever seen in the history of art,” and believes that making a picture is a way for photographer and subject to collaborate together on the betterment of humanity. 

Robert’s online course is called A Celebration of Humanity through the Art of Yoga Photography.

This special episode of The Glo Podcast features a talk given by Dr. Dan Siegel, a clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine and the founding co-director of UCLA’s Mindful Awareness Research Center, at Glo HQ in Santa Monica just before the COVID-19 lockdown. Dr. Siegel gives an in-depth discussion on how to use The Wheel of Awareness, a useful meditation tool he developed with over two decades of clinical research studies. It’s a visual metaphor for how the mind works and a way to “expand the container of consciousness.”

Dr. Siegel has dedicated his work to challenging traditional ideas of the mind and the self. He breaks down misconceptions of these concepts to help us reach a new understanding of the human experience, which emphasizes our interconnectedness, unity, and the unequivocal importance of love.
