In this episode, we sit down with Krissi to explore her inspiring journey as a yoga teacher and space holder. We dive into the power of community, using yoga as a form of therapy, setting boundaries with students, and the role of intuition in teaching. Krissi shares wisdom on trust, karma yoga, and offers heartfelt advice for new teachers, plus insights into her own training and path. A grounded, soulful conversation not to miss.

In this episode we celebrate one year since we recorded our first episode in Chiangmai Thailand from the Isty hotel. 

One year on we reflect on the episodes, where we are at today and what is to come for the podcast.

One of our new favourite tunes we shared during the podcast is Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu by Marti Nikko, DJ Drez, Sheela Bringi and Brent Kuecker which you can find on Spotify.

In this episode, we chat about the breath - how most of us aren’t using it to its full potential, even though it literally keeps us alive. 

We talk about the magic of the body breathing for us without us even thinking about it, and how tuning into the breath can be such a powerful tool to calm the mind, especially in yoga. So much to be grateful for in something so simple.

In this episode of The Yoga Teacher Journeys, we’re chatting about the gunas the three qualities of nature in yoga philosophy: sattva (light and clarity), rajas (energy and movement), and tamas (rest and heaviness). These show up in everything from our thoughts to our food choices!

We talked about how to notice which guna is most present, and whether it’s helping or hindering us. Along with other yoga tools, we can learn to shift our state and feel more balanced. Yoga reminds us that we’re more in control of how we feel than we might think ❤️

We love exploring these topics, watch this space for more yoga philosophy discussion’s ❤️

In this episode, we unpack Bianca’s recent experience at Sivananda ashram in India - from the daily rituals and teachings to the challenges and beautiful moments along the way. We talk through the full itinerary, what it really means to live yogic principles, and how to bring these ancient lessons into our modern lives.

Some Ashram Learnings:

• Your inhale is only as good as your exhale. 
• Control the breath to control the mind. 

5 Points of Yoga:
  1. Proper Exercise (Asana) – Like servicing your car, movement keeps the system running smoothly. 
  2. Proper Breathing (Pranayama)– Breath is life. Without it, we can’t function at our best. 
  3. Proper Relaxation (Savasana) – Let the car cool. Avoid burnout. 
  4. Proper Diet (Vegetarian) – Fuel the body with sattvic food for clarity and strength. 
  5. Positive Thinking & Meditation – You are not the car, you're the driver. Awareness changes everything.

Dedication and discipline bring a blissful life 🙏🏻
