Finding Harmony Podcast

The Hidden Gem that is Kathy Cooper

We had such a good time talking to an old friend in Kathy Cooper. For Russell it reminded him of Anne Rice’s vampire Lestat’s recounting of his origins in New Orleans. Lestat wrote that at every corner he was continuously surprised to find another stronger older vampire coming out of the ground and shadows. Each time like pulling back yards of history. These Ashtanga yoga students from the 70’s are each one a surprise fascinating in their strength and wisdom.
Is there no where else in history where we find these old guard spiritual aspirants who are such emotionally intelligent savants, house holders, and yet intensely physically disciplined champions?
We’d argue that acolytes like Kathy Cooper can only be found in Ashtanga Yoga, and works of science fiction.
Please sit and enjoy with us this bright Spring Sunday morning as we hear how yet another sun child of the sixties became like a living Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother so modestly hidden to history.

Manuel Ferreira: The Brazen Bull

Today we have the infamous Bull Fighting Manuel Ferreira on the show for you. We are delighted that such an old friend would agree to come on to tell us about his life and family growing up in Portugal. It’s literally true that he was a bull fighter, though perhaps just as a student and not so much a professional. He’s an interesting person to sit with as he has lived his life with so much joie du vivre or alegria de viver as one might say in Portuguese.
You may remember him mentioned by his ever ebullient wife Yan Ong, in our podcast with her a few weeks back!
"I am nothing.
I shall never be anything.
I cannot even wish to be anything.
Apart from this, I have within me all the dreams of the world."
- Fernando Pessoa -
The poem above is from Portugal’s most famous poet, Fernando Pessoa, whom Mani’s mother studied in great detail. It says a lot about how a wild, beach loving, Portuguese surf-fanatic could eventually become a dedicated student of Ashtanga yoga.
“I am nothing. I shall never be anything. I cannot even wish to be anything. Apart from this, I have within me all the dreams of the world.” This very well could have been said to Arjuna by Krishna himself.
You will enjoy this sunny afternoon chai stand chat, as old friends reunite again in merriment. How wonderful it would be to sit on surfboards together gazing at the sea, mountains in the distance, the coolness of salt water against our skin.
Needing nothing, wanting nothing, sitting in balance like the arrow on the bow.

Niki Baratta: Earth Angel

We are delighted to share with you this beautiful conversation with Niki Baratta, who may potentially qualify as one of the most interesting people alive!
Niki comes from the U.K. (quite coincidentally, like many of our recent guests); However, she has a very unique story about creating herself, raising up in the world of fashion, to launching her very own line of jewelry, before moving into teaching yoga and coaching woman.
After attending fashion school she was invited into an internship at Victoria’s Secret and turned that into a 30 year career, moving up through the company, playing an integral role in creating the famous Angel campaign along with all the images for this innovative launch as VP Director of Photography in New York.
Currently, Niki is an exquisite designer of hand crafted healing crystal jewelry, Whole-Life Coach, and Yoga Teacher. She shares with us some of the difficult decisions she had to make in her life and career that helped her to step into a place where she could truly own her space, and remake herself.
It all started with a much needed “Niki Pause.”
You will love meeting this incredibly inspiring woman and hearing her person journey to finding harmony in both her professional and personal life.
Side Note: On this week’s podcast, Russell, in jest, suggested that Redtube, (an adult themed website) had paid for adspace on the Finding Harmony Podcast. That isn’t true at all. However, in light of the conflict happening in Ukraine, we invite our listeners to give to the Red Cross. They’ve announced matching dollars for contributions in Canada: https://www.icrc.org/en/donate

Alexandra South: No Pelvis Left Behind

“From menstruation, pregnancy, miscarriage, pelvic pain, endometriosis and fibroids, every pelvis has a story, and more often than not, we’re quite disconnected from it.” - Leslie Howard -
Have you ever heard someone say something that completely changed your life?
Come sit with us on this beautiful Sunday as we join our friend Alexandra South in a deeply personal story of triumph and transformation.
Today, our teacher is Alex South, a contemporary Dancer from Warwick, currently living in Texas. She’s the mother of 3 children, sharing her experiences of recovering after each birth and watching her children grow, learn to roll, crawl, walk, run… Reminding her of the organic development of movement mirrored in her modern dance training.
Alex is a Pelvic Floor Yoga Teacher.
Yoga found her just in time to help her heal from an extremely traumatic event. After giving birth to her second child, she suffered from a severe diastasis recti, the separation of her abdominal muscles, that didn’t heal properly, and caused her to temporarily lose the ability to walk.
This experience encouraged her to explore how yoga could be used to reawaken and reintegrate her abdominal muscles and pelvic floor. What she discovered was an entirely new path to deeper healing, which she now shares with her students.
It’s vital to learn to use the breath to connect more directly to the pelvic floor and creates awareness. Then we can use this new awareness to realign and strengthen the pelvic floor.
No Pelvis Left Behind!

Jeanette Keane: Dance Me to the End of Love

The Finding Harmony Podcast has always been a play on words. How to find harmony in your life?
Uncovering that point when one hits rock bottom and discovers yoga as the secret key to ending suffering… Sometime after everything else has failed.
Its written right there in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra. The first one: Atha Yoga-Anushasanam.
“Now, yoga is revealed.”
The implication being that Yoga is first of all, not being invented here. It’s being revealed. In the way that, say Indiana Jones, pulls back the tarp on the Ark and sees it for the first time.
(The egoist who seeks to look directly at this thing will be blinded folks, the skin melt off his face. The awareness of the finite nature of existence is revealed here! Immutable consciousness. Mutable prakriti!)
So, finally… After you’ve tried everything, the pilates class, the parties, the college degrees, the shopping, and even leaning in... Finally, we come to Yoga.
And so did Jeanette. However, Jeanette was fortunate enough to be introduced to yoga at a very young age through her mother.
She’s an artist and professional dancer, skilled in Public Relations, Digital Communication, Marketing, and Arts Administration. But even Jeanette explored many different avenues, looking for answers, before realizing that yoga held the perfect space for her to cultivate inner-peace.
Last year, unhappy with her current career, she sought out B-School to help her create her own consulting business centered around her artistic life. Wanting to spend more quality time with her children and have control over her schedule and hours, she made the big bold step to go out on her own. We spoke with her about building a business, and what that looked like for her.
It’s not glamorous or romantic. Its not being “discovered.” It’s a lot of work, actually. But, there is such a precious joy within it.
Being self made.
And, ultimately, this is what Yoga is.
Cultivating your authentic connection to the Self.

The Ever Ebullient Yan Ong

Yan, like a good champagne, has a sparkling personality. We very much enjoyed chatting with her in Portugal about her life, Injuries with the practice, and learning to thrive despite suffering from an autoimmune disorder.
Keeping in mind that the vast majority of yoga practitioners are female, we asked Yan what it’s like to be a female teacher in the Mysore room, and her personal experience with the unconscious bias towards women (or against women) that we all seem to continue to carry.
Yan has a fun and interesting story, being invited to join Mensa as a young teen, her time as a Viagra saleswoman, and finally spending 80 months practicing in Mysore, India, with Sharath. You’ll love hearing about how she invited him and his family out for Christmas mimosas on her first trip to Mysore! And her journey of becoming his student all the way to having him perform her marriage ceremony in Portugal.
Yan is ebullient. And, this bubbly effervescence does define her well. We sincerely hope you enjoy spending time with her as much as we did!

Sat Inder Khalsa The Kwisatz Haderach

In this week’s Finding Harmony Podcast episode, you’ll come to the confluence where Kundalini and Ashtanga yoga meet…
In the heart of Sat Inder Khalsa: the Kwisatz Haderach.
In this episode, we learn that in Frank Herbert’s Dune Universe, a Kwisatz Haderach would be a male Bene Gesserit, who would have access to the memories of both his male and female ancestors, as well as an ability to bridge space and time with prescient ability... In other words, He would be Bene Gesserit, Reverend Mother, Mentat, and Guild Navigator, all in one.
Our beloved Sat Inder is a devotee of the Divine Mother and shishya to her servant Yogavidananda. Sat Inder is an Authorized Ashtanga Yoga teacher, lover of mythology, a great storyteller, and a retired “Kundaloonie” (as he likes to say).
No podcast historiography of Ashtanga Yoga would be complete without him as a guest!
Enjoy this spectacularly irreverent take on what also happens to be a most sincere interest in spiritual paths and practices.
Sat Inder tells us of his days as a Kundalini Yoga Teacher, leaving the practice of Ashtanga yoga behind, only to have it come back to him again, calling him to Mysore, India. We talk about the Law of Attraction, his visit to the Kamakhya Temple in Assam, where he reset his energy and altered his understanding of devotion forever.
Interestingly, he often contemplates death and mortality. And has found that this morbid obsession with impermanence has become a doorway to liberation and a constant reminder to live more fully.
We hear of Sat Inder sitting on the Manikarnika ghat, (one of the two cremation sites in Varanasi), where visits with Aghoris, members of the mystical Hindu sect known for extreme rituals, devotees of Shiva manifested as Bhairava, as they illuminate his mind.
Finally, we talk about the paradox inherent within the Ashtanga system: The attachment to the body, and yet the goal of becoming non-attached to the body.
This episode may be triggering for some listeners, as we also asked Sat Inder about his personal experience of receiving the “mulabandha adjustment” from Pattabhi Jois on tour in 2000.
This episode is a pot boiler, a bodice ripper, and a barn burner all in one!! Enjoy!
And if you think this episode is good… you should catch the BONUS episode with Sat Inder!
You can listen to it when you become a Finding Harmony Inner Circle Member.

On Tour with Jens Bache

Jens Bache is not your ordinary Ashtanga yoga practitioner or teacher. He came to yoga as a highly celebrated Engineer, in the middle of a very normal career trajectory, yet he was looking for more…
Life had to have more meaning. He felt isolated and stressed. Then in 1997, on a work-study trip in Berkeley California, Jens Bache experienced yoga for the first time.
“A daily yoga practice at home gave me the peace of mind I was looking for.”
When he returned to Copenhagen he participated in his first workshop in 1999, and quite unexpectedly, he became the main instigator in creating an Ashtanga Yoga grassroots community in Copenhagen. As Jens said, he had a unique set of ‘process oriented skills’ from his Business degree in Project Management, which were badly needed in the yoga community. And so, this kind of self reliance in Jens grew into the first Mysore-style school that he nurtured along with Susanna Finocchi for 18 years.
In 2003, Jens traveled to Mysore to learn from Guruji at the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute and continued returning annually since this first visit. He enjoyed expanding his knowledge about Indian philosophy, culture, and all things yoga. And, quickly, yet not surprisingly, Jens was soon relied upon by the Jois family themselves to run their European Tour stops!
So, luckily for you, in this episode, you’ll find out exactly what it might be like to host a tour stop with Sharath Jois and his family!
Jens has been the primary catalyst in bringing Sharath Jois to Copenhagen 6 times now, the first tour being in 2006 with the whole family, including Guruji (Sri K. Pattabhi Jois) and Saraswathi.
He has risen to the occasion again and again and hopes to have the honour once again this summer, in conjunction with his partner Lisa Lalér, co-owner of the Yoga Shala Stockholm, to host Sharathji on tour.
Jens translated Sri K. Pattabhi Jois’ book ”Yoga Mala” into Danish and is one of the masterminds behind the documentaries ”Guruji in Copenhagen” and ”Sharath in Copenhagen.”
Jens obtained a Masters degree in Indology – the study of Indian history, literature, philosophy and culture – from the Copenhagen University, and now acts as a “Cultural Broker” mediating between companies in Denmark and India to facilitate a greater understanding between organizations, through cultural translation.

Electric Man : Stan Woodman

What makes someone electric?
In today’s episode we’re going to find out.
Stan Woodman joins us in conversation. He has that beautiful esprit de corps that comes from overcoming adversity with a team in fellowship, even in the face of great tragedy there's still Love in the group.
Good parenting does that.
Stan has a confidence in him that he is loved and will always be loved. Not in an arrogant way whatsoever, but as a man who loves all beings and naturally sees Love within them.
Not many men grow up saying that what they want most from the world is to be a dad.
This is a testament to his gentle and kind nature.
As a very young man, Stan conceived a daughter, who was given up for adoption. His story is so inspiring, in that, over the years that followed, a relationship developed between them and she became very much a part of his life.
Stan was once Beryl Bender Birch’s apprentice and he assisted her as a travelling teacher. This was his introduction to the world of yoga. A beginning only imagined by most of us!
Some people say that we, as Westerners, will never grow to be more than gym teachers in the field of yoga; But, even with that, this practice somehow does work, in a spiritual way, to make us more compassionate and integrated. If we do the work.
“I want to be a kinder, more loving, compassionate human, so this is why I do and will continue to practice and teach Ashtanga Yoga. I have great respect for all the teachers of this lineage who have come before me, stand alongside me, and have yet to come."

Elizabeth Ball: Science & Yoga

Dr. Elizabeth Ball is a unique teacher within our community. She's akin to the Neuroscientist Meditator or the Warrior Poet… A person uniquely situated to watch reality, as the seer residing in herself. She observes with awareness. As water gives life to the ten thousand things; yet does not strive to do so. She simply does. And so, with her PhD in immunology, Liz is uniquely situated to observe the physiological process of becoming whole as she dips her toe into the water of serenity.
Come sit with us and dear Liz, as we chat over a "cuppa" in full "hygge" coziness, and giggled with mirth over all things "Elizabeth." explains, the way to interrupt the problems caused by chronic stress is not to lessen stress, but build more resilience. One way to do so is to engage with discomfort—to practice.
Our bodies are actually hardwired to adapt, we have a natural ability to utilize low doses of stress to generate a favorable response. Typically this refers to a bundle of biological responses, such as the way we react to vaccines—receiving a small sample of a toxin, mounting a defense, and thereby building up an immunity. Or the way our muscles respond to the stress of lifting weights by growing stronger.
Putting ourselves in conditions where we prime the immune system to help make it stronger is paramount to building greater levels of health and resiliency, the ability to bounce back after a stressful situation. We'll discover why the practice of yoga is the perfect way to do this!
Elizabeth first began practicing Yoga at aged 16 in her home town of Derby, England. Elizabeth’s dedication to practising Yoga was a constant companion in all her years of school and university. Upon moving to Lisbon, Portugal in 2008 to study for her Ph.D., Elizabeth continued her Yoga path, practicing at the traditional Ashtanga Yoga Shala, Casa Vinyasa, under her mentor and teacher Isa Guitana Wong.
Finally fulfilling her dream trip to Mysore, India in 2015, Elizabeth became a devoted student to her dear teacher Paramaguru R. Sharath Jois. In 2018 Elizabeth was given the Authorisation to teach the Primary Series.
Elizabeth is now focused primarily on rejoining the circle of Medical Science with the Traditional Science of Yoga.
Elizabeth’s research into Immunology influences her teachings and workshops, as she unifies her background and strengths in science with her ever present exploration of the body through Ashtanga Yoga.
