Breathwork changed Dirk Hamelijnck's life after 24 years of teaching teenagers how to move — it was learning how to breathe that changed everything.

In this episode, Dirk Hamelijnck shares why he left the familiar structure of the Dutch school system and what brought him to Bali. He talks about the turning point that pushed him onto a new path, the intense practices that first opened the door, and why he now cares more about nuance than hype in breathwork.

You will hear how he approaches breathwork with three clear values, why “safe space” is not just a nice phrase, and what most people misunderstand about breathwork before they ever try it. If you are curious about breath as a tool for grounding, learning, and real change, this conversation will make you want to listen all the way through.

The biggest shift in your yoga anatomy might not be a new pose, but a new kind of attention.

In this episode, Michael Henri shares how he blends precise body knowledge with something harder to measure: the subtle “energy” of a room. He talks about why awareness and breath can change everything, how a simple favorite pose reveals hidden needs, and what kind of class culture he wants to create in Ubud. Expect practical insights, honest reflections, and a few unexpected rules that might challenge how you usually show up on the mat.

Finding purpose through yoga sometimes takes a single class — the kind of moment that quietly changes the direction of your life.

In this episode, Kimberley Utama shares the personal journey that led her from feeling pulled between identities to building a life rooted in practice, presence, and purpose. She speaks about what drew her to Bali, what surprised her most once she arrived, and how her relationship with yoga shifted from “something to do” into something she could not ignore. Along the way, she reflects on the inner work that happens behind the scenes of becoming a teacher, the parts of the path that are rarely talked about, and why she is now leaning toward quieter, subtler practices that feel deeper than anything she expected.

If you have ever questioned where you belong, or felt called toward a new chapter but did not know why, this conversation will leave you wanting to hear what happens next.

Building community after burnout takes survival, devotion, and a long commitment to inner work — some spaces are built from ambition, this one from something deeper.

In this episode, Leah Santa Cruz shares the deeply personal journey that shaped her role as a founder of The In Movement. From early experiences with chaos and instability to burnout, meditation, motherhood, and leadership, Leah reflects on how lived experience becomes the foundation for meaningful community.

Rather than offering polished answers, Leah speaks honestly about discipline, healing, and the responsibility that comes with creating a space meant to hold others. She explores why depth matters now more than ever, how belonging is cultivated rather than assumed, and what it means to lead without repeating old patterns of self sacrifice.

This conversation is not about quick fixes or feel good moments. It is about building something that lasts and what it asks of the people creating it.

Conscious leadership in a wellness business is forged through discipline, friction, and a willingness to commit fully — some visions are born from stillness.

In this episode, Paul Teodo shares his perspective on building The In Movement from the inside out. Not as a sudden leap, but as the result of years of partnership, responsibility, and choosing purpose over comfort.

Paul speaks openly about what felt missing in the wellness culture around him, and why devotion, structure, and service are just as essential as softness and self love. He reflects on fatherhood, leadership, and the tension between nurturing and challenge, offering a grounded look at what it takes to build something that asks more of the people inside it.

This conversation is not about branding or aesthetics. It is about standards, integrity, and the quiet courage required to say “I am all in” and mean it.

Building The IN Movement studio began the moment a vision stopped feeling theoretical and started asking something real of Byron de Marsé.

In this episode, Byron speaks candidly about what it means to bring The In Movement into form. Not as a brand concept, but as a lived philosophy shaped by years of teaching, partnership, risk, and trust.

Rather than offering a polished origin story, Byron reflects on the quieter forces behind the studio’s creation. The long arc of preparation, the subtle pivots that could have led somewhere smaller, and the internal clarity required to choose something bigger. He explores the tension between going inward and showing up fully in the world, and why embodiment, community, and lasting transformation sit at the heart of this movement.

This conversation invites you behind the scenes of a project still unfolding. It does not explain everything. Instead, it opens a doorway into the questions, values, and inner work that make this space what it is becoming.

Episode Chapters:

02:03 – A pivotal moment and the idea of preparation meeting opportunity

05:52 – Truth, freedom, and the inner work behind the vision

15:37 – Alignment, disagreement, and creative tension between founders

23:25 – When the project almost took a smaller form

25:20 – Curating an experience of lasting transformation

29:26 – Community, embodiment, and why people come back

30:50 – What this space is asking of him now

35:18 – Empowerment, oscillation, and long-term support

37:43 – How to stay connected as the movement unfolds

The power of pause can be the most powerful step forward — what if the boldest move is simply to stop?

This short episode is a gentle invitation to pause with intention. It announces a brief break and a coming name change to The In Movement Podcast, all framed as part of a larger practice: letting ideas integrate instead of rushing to the next thing. 

You’ll hear a simple reflection on why rest matters, how stepping back can create space for meaning, and a spoken passage on forgiveness, surrender, and inner strength that lingers long after the audio ends. If you’re tired of constant input and craving a more grounded way to grow, this one asks you to breathe, soften, and let it land—so the next chapter can begin clear and true.

The limiting narratives running your life may not even be yours — but someone else's script playing out through you every day.

In this episode, Byron and Michael look closely at narratives—the powerful stories we absorb from media, culture, and community—and how they shape what we feel, believe, and choose. They explore the difference between raw facts and the emotional storyline built around them, naming how hype can manipulate attention, belonging, and identity. 

They invite a return to truthfulness (Satya) and witness consciousness (sakshi bhava)—seeing the story without becoming the story—so decisions come from inner integrity, not crowd pressure. He also touches on collective “open secrets,” victim narratives, and why neutrality can get misread as opposition. 

For teachers, he offers a practical lens: every class is a narrative—so what are you feeding? Ego, or autonomy and intention? They close with a simple map for crafting transformational stories in class: personal lesson → yogic principle → clear bridge back to the student’s life. Curious where your choices end and the narrative begins? This conversation is your mirror.

Healing addiction is real — chasing “one more healing” can become the very thing keeping you from feeling whole.

In this episode, Byron and Michael look at the fine line between helpful practice and healing addiction. They name the hidden driver—pain and disconnection—and how it can turn breathwork, plant medicine, and nonstop workshops into a spin cycle that never truly lands. 

Byron questions the inner program of “I am broken,” and offers a reframe: protect your energy with gentleness, boundaries, and integration—letting insights settle before reaching for the next fix. 

They contrast feminine healing (feeling, processing) with masculine commitment (clear intentions, follow-through), reminding us both are needed. Instead of digging forever, he suggests real-time healing: slow enough to notice what’s alive now, journal it, meet responsibilities, and return to it with honesty. 

The heart of his message: stop outsourcing your power to healers or methods; claim your own change. If you’ve ever felt stuck in “just one more ceremony/class/session,” this conversation gently opens the door out.

Understanding your emotions starts with treating sadness, frustration, and anger not as problems, but as instructions.

In this solo episode, Michael explores three everyday emotions—sadness, frustration, and anger—and shows how each one carries a message. 

This episode doesn’t tell you to “feel better.” It asks better questions. Why does a heavy mood arrive out of nowhere? Why does a tiny obstacle spark a huge reaction? And what if that surge of heat isn’t “too much,” but a message you haven’t learned to read yet?

Across three familiar emotions—sadness, frustration, anger—you’ll be invited to listen in new ways, try small experiments, and notice what shifts when you don’t rush to fix or perform. No neat answers, just a clearer path: pause, pay attention, and let the body’s signals point to the next right step. If you’re curious about what your feelings are asking for, press play and find out.
