What if the block you’re facing is not a dead end but a doorway?

In this episode of The Imagine Podcast, Pedro explores the second Sutra of the Aquarian Age in Kundalini Yoga:

There is a way through every block.

This is not optimism. It is training.

In a time defined by pressure, climate instability, political fragmentation, technological acceleration, and economic uncertainty, difficulty is not the exception. It is the environment. And when the mind believes there is no way forward, the nervous system contracts, creativity shuts down, and paralysis sets in.

This episode offers a different posture.

Drawing from the teachings of Kundalini Yoga and a parallel insight from Stoic philosophy, we examine how obstacles can become the very material of transformation. Not by denying pain. Not by forcing solutions. But by shifting perception.

You will learn how this Sutra helps you:

Stay regulated under pressure
Move from reactivity to conscious agency
Replace paralysis with intelligent action
Engage challenges without collapsing internally
Ask better questions when facing uncertainty

Instead of asking “Why is this happening?” You begin asking, “What is this asking of me?”

Through practical reflection and grounded insight, this episode helps you develop the inner architecture required for complexity, the stability, clarity, and responsibility demanded by our time.

The obstacle may not be here to stop you.
It may be here to refine you.

Listen in, and begin looking for the way through.

In this episode, we begin a new series exploring the Five Sutras of the Aquarian Age from Kundalini Yoga, not as abstract teachings, but as lived practices for everyday life.

We start with the first sutra: Recognize that the other person is you.

At first, it can sound poetic, even idealistic. And yet, when relationships feel tense, when we feel triggered, misunderstood, or polarized, this sutra becomes deeply challenging.

What does it really mean to recognize ourselves in the other without excusing harmful behavior or losing our boundaries? How do we soften inner rigidity without collapsing into agreement or self-abandonment?

In this conversation, Daniela explores this sutra as a practical lens for daily life. Moving from the yogic understanding of I, You, and Thou, to the experience of stillness beneath identity and defense, this episode invites reflection on how separation hardens us, and how recognizing our shared source can restore clarity.

This is not an invitation to bypass difference, but to respond from truth rather than react from fear.

A grounded exploration of connection, discernment, and what it means to practice yoga in a polarized world.

What do we do when things don’t change, even after we’ve tried again and again?

In this episode, Pedro reflects on something we all face at some point, the moment when effort feels useless and we start to believe there’s nothing left to do. Not as a concept, not as motivation, but as lived experience.

This conversation explores what Pedro calls our capacity to respond, the part of us that remains available even when circumstances feel fixed, even when we’re tired, disappointed, or stuck in familiar patterns.

Drawing from Stoic philosophy and Kundalini Yoga, the episode offers grounded reflections and practical ways to reconnect with that inner margin of action. Not to fix everything, but to stay in relationship with life, one honest step at a time.

This is an episode for anyone who feels trapped, has failed more than once, or is quietly wondering if change is still possible.

Because even here, even now, there is always something we can still do.

What if the difference between feeling nourished and feeling exhausted had less to do with what you’re doing… and more to do with how present you are while doing it?

In this episode, Daniela reflects on the difference between habits and rituals, and how presence is what transforms ordinary actions into meaningful experiences.

Through a simple moment, walking the dog in the woods outside Madrid, she explores how the same action can feel either draining or deeply grounding, depending on our inner state. This reflection extends into our meditation and yoga practice, and into any activity we choose as a way to grow or come back to ourselves.

You’ll hear about:

• The difference between doing and being

• How even beneficial practices can become sources of stress

• The Sanskrit concept of Artha, and the hidden order beneath everyday life

• How daily life itself can become the practice of Kundalini Yoga

This episode is an invitation to slow down, return to presence, and rediscover how rituals are not something we add to life, but something we remember.

If you’re feeling rushed, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your practice, this conversation offers a gentle doorway back.

A 40-day practice is a core structure in Kundalini Yoga, and it also appears across many traditions and times as a container for real transformation.

In this episode, Pedro explores why 40 days is not an arbitrary number, but a time frame that aligns with how the nervous system, habits, and identity actually change. Drawing from yogic philosophy, psychology, and lived experience, he reflects on how repetition reshapes the brain, reduces inner friction, and allows discipline to mature into care.

This is not an episode about pushing harder or doing more.
It’s about continuity, simplicity, and what becomes possible when we stop negotiating with ourselves and stay with a practice long enough for it to take root.

A quiet exploration of change that happens slowly and lasts.

What if this year you didn’t start by trying to be better, but by being more present?

In this opening episode, Daniela invites us to explore the Willingness to Live: a way of meeting life with openness, commitment, and presence, even when there are no guarantees.

Through the lens of Kundalini Yoga and the classical teachings of Patañjali, we explore how daily practice, not driven by perfection or over-achievement , can become an inner compass that reconnects us with the True Self.

Daniela shares why, at Imagine, we begin every year with a free 40-day practice: a gift of reconnection with ourselves and with our community, and how, year after year, this simple commitment to “being there for yourself” profoundly changes lives, not through perfection, but through presence.

✨ An episode to begin the year grounded, clear, and open-hearted.

In this episode, Daniela shares a deep and personal reflection inspired by an event that has touched millions: María Corina Machado emerging from hiding to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

From her perspective as a Venezuelan and as a practitioner and teacher of Kundalini Yoga, Daniela explores an essential truth: freedom is not something we wait for, it is something we practice. Every day. With every breath. Through every conscious choice.

Through the yogic concept of Tapas, inner fire, living discipline, the energy that keeps us awake, this episode invites us to reflect on what it truly means to be alive, to be at peace, and to live aligned with our truth.
Because in yoga, peace is not the absence of conflict, but coherence between who we are, what we feel, what we do, and what we say.

This is not a political episode.
It is an intimate invitation to ignite our inner freedom, to take responsibility for being present, and to remember that true peace is born from truth, justice, and conscious love.

🎧 An episode to listen to slowly, breathe deeply, and choose, once again, to be alive.

In this second part of our mini-series, Pedro explores how we can transform the stress and emotional activation that often arise during the holiday season. Now that we understand why family gatherings can feel overwhelming, this episode focuses on the “how”, offering practical tools, psychological insight, and powerful Kundalini practices to support us from the inside out.

We look at three essential levers that can change our entire experience of the holidays, managing expectations, navigating relational tension, and reducing emotional and logistical overload. For each one, Pedro shares a specific Kundalini practice, from Sa Ta Na Ma to Agni Pran and Om chanting, to heart-centered kriyas that help us stay grounded, compassionate, and connected to our truth.

This episode is an invitation to move through the season with more presence and less pressure, to honor our nervous system, and to choose softness over perfection.

A guide for anyone who wants to experience the holidays with more clarity, humanity, and inner alignment.

The holidays are approaching, and while this season is often wrapped in lights, magic, and expectation, many of us feel something far more complex: tension, pressure, emotional activation, and yes, family stress.

In this episode, Pedro opens an honest and compassionate conversation about why this happens. Drawing from research, psychology, and yogic wisdom, he explores the three core reasons why family gatherings can feel overwhelming, the pressure to perform emotions, the old relational roles that return the moment we walk into the room, and the exhaustion that comes from the logistical overload of this time of year.

This episode is an invitation to understand yourself with clarity and tenderness. There is nothing wrong with you if the holidays feel heavy, you are human, and you are not alone. Part 1 brings awareness and understanding, so that in Part 2 we can move into tools, strategies, and Kundalini practices that truly help transform your experience.

In part 2 we will dive into the “how”, with practical guidance and powerful yogic tools.

In this episode, Pedro explores a kind of beginning we often overlook — the beginnings that don’t ask us to change our entire life, but to see our life with new eyes.

We tend to imagine “beginning again” as something dramatic: a new job, a move, a reinvention. But most renewals happen quietly, in subtle shifts, small choices, gentle awakenings.

Pedro shares reflections, metaphors, and personal moments that reveal a simple truth: life doesn’t always need to be rebuilt, but it does need to be refreshed. Just like the body needs new stretches and new ways of moving, the inner world needs new breath, new curiosity, new ways of being alive within the same story.

This episode is for anyone who feels something inside stirring, not broken, not lost, just ready for renewal. Perhaps the invitation isn’t to start from scratch, but to begin differently.

A reminder that beginnings aren’t the opposite of endings. They are the natural pulse of growth, the return of aliveness to everyday life.

A gentle and inspiring reflection on courage, presence, and the art of beginning again.
