Finding Harmony Podcast

Jana Wilson: Wise Little One

“What I have come to know in my personal life and the lives of all the people I've worked with is that every trauma, challenge, and wound comes bearing a gift and some wisdom our soul needs. Once I opened up to finding the wisdom (and lesson) of my very traumatic childhood that made me the strong, loving, compassionate and capable woman, wife, and mother that I am today, I began to live the life of my dreams.” - Jana Wilson
The real gift that comes from having your own podcast is sitting down to talk with someone who you don’t really know; who seems to have lived the same life as you, cut from the same cloth, experienced the same squalid violent conditions, and has come out the other side, and is well and whole and wants to talk about it.
It’s special. Every. Damn. Time.
And every time it’s like looking in a mirror, or meeting a new best friend, discovering the “Krishnaness of Krishna,” seeing the self in the other.
We sat down and read Jana’s beautiful book: Wise Little One: Learning to Love and Listen to My Inner Child.
She has a fabulous story to tell—if not one that’s filled page to page with some horrific and also sublime stuff.
It’s something you’ll be able to relate to. It’s the stuff we’ve all felt in different ways — because we’re all human.
O.K. maybe Elvis never invited us up to his suite, and maybe our fathers weren’t themselves Elvis impersonators… But, perhaps you have your own great aunt who was murdered by her husband, or several incarcerated relatives— experienced a litany of abuse, physical or chemical… It certainly felt like we knew Jana.
She is our people.
It was a pleasure to get to know her better and share her journey of transformation, one of moving from darkness to light with you here in this episode.
That said, (and Malcolm X said the same in his autobiography), “it’s easy to get deliciously trapped in the vile details, and miss the spiritual ascendancy that arose out of that life.”
Jana’s miracle is that she has become like the lotus, flowering out of the fetid swamp. It’s unusual.
Like David Williams said “I was used to folks getting old and sick. Not older and wiser. I wanted to see how that was done.”
Jana exemplifies just that. She’s getting older and wiser and has a story to tell. Her openness and willingness to come face to face with her own demons and shadows is something we can all learn from.
Give this podcast a listen, folks.
We love you for being here on this journey with us!

Eternally Youthful with David Garrigues

You might know David Garrigues as a Certified Ashtanga yoga teacher, but today you’ll hear all about what spurred him into the Seattle punk scene, and how music pulled him out of a very difficult time in his life, where he was homeless and starting to sink into a very dark place.
How did he go from a homeless young punk rocker to practicing yoga in Mysore, India, with Pattabhi Jois? You’ll find out in this episode.
David has a deep dedication to the practice, music, poetry, and art.
We discussing the evolution of his practice and teaching over the years and how it’s culimated in his newest book: Ashtanga Yoga Vinyasa: Movement, Breath, and Posture in the Primary Series.
It takes courage to write a book, let alone six of them!
It takes courage to put yourself out there on YouTube consistently (if you haven’t checked out Asana Kitchen with David Garrigues - be sure to) and to create over 20 video courses!
And it takes courage to get on your mat every day.
David talks about some of the motivations that continue to bring him to his mat daily, some deep emotions that continue to linger, like shame, anger, and resentment. This need for constant purification and ongoing evolution, is what continues to spur him to gather up all his courage each day to face himself on his mat!
We’re examining both the shadow and the light aspects of the asana practice today with David Garrigues, and his particular approach to practice within this deeply explorative conversation.

The Tao of Dreams with Kari Hohne

Meeting up with Kari Hohne in Lake Tahoe was a true joy! As we dive into a fun-filled conversation about how she left her glamorous position in the high-fashion industry to follow a deeper soul calling.
She’s talking with us today about Taoism, the I Ching, and dream interpretations. These are just a few of the areas she’s passionate about. It’s her mission to keep this ancient wisdom relevant during our modern times and we’re diving into not only her personal story but also asking her to share her skills with us!
Kari has four decades experience analyzing dreams for people around the world, and joined philosopher Ken Wilber as the dream expert during a Spiritual Technology Summit in 2017.
You can find on her website, Cafe Au Soul, a virtual database of dream symbols, ancient oracles and archetypal information.
We know this episode will be both interesting and informative for you!

Awaken with Susan Klein-Holmen

Susan Klein-Holmen is a multi-passionate entrepreneur. The Founder and Creative Director STELLdesign, and Yoga Teacher and Mentor at her own school: Kosha Yoga Shala.
She grew up in the prairies of the mid-west. Her Scandanavian heritage continued to call her soul back to her native land. So in 2004, she moved to Norway with her Norwegian husband.
She started an interior architecture company, working with clients in two languages, both Norwegian and English, all while raising 3 children, and doing her absolute best to do everything right!
Susan shares with us a very intense and terrifying experience that changed her life forever.
It happened to her while at a yoga retreat. Her story is one that maybe you can relate to?
We’re sharing it because there needs to be more awareness around how these types of powerful spiritual practices can open up the mind to the movement of transcendental energy.
As more and more people in the West are practising different types of chanting, meditation, breathwork and yoga, it seems more important than ever that teachers are aware of what can happen. It’s essential as a yoga teacher to know how to support students around these powerful energetic transformations and how to create safe spaces for them. This is something that isn’t being taught on your typical yoga teacher training.
Susan is particularly qualified to support others who are experiencing this type of awakening, as she’s been there herself. And she knows just how disorienting it can be!
Her mission is to continue to educate and create more awareness in yoga communities around the topics of spiritual emergence, and emergencies, so that yoga teachers and practitioners know what to look for when seeking out spiritual teachers, and can clearly identify the red flags!
Susan completed her Spiritual Emergence Coach training with Dr Emma Bragdon the founder of IMHU.
You can listen to our podcast with Dr. Emma Bragdon *episode 164
She is offering peer support to others having challenging awakening experiences.
Susan is offering an Immersion training called Awaken this fall. It’s a special program for women in perimenopause and menopause who are experiencing low energy, low mood, overwhelm, anxiety and burn-out who want feel a sense of joy, energy and creativity again.
Keep an eye on her website for more details.

A Stroke of Insight with Meghan Marshall

This conversation with Meghan had all of us laughing about something that's no laughing matter!
Maybe it's Meghan's dry Canadian sense of humor, but Russell kept throwing her little balls of wonderful wit and she just kept catching them and throwing them right back.
For nearly 20 years, Ashtanga has sustained Meghan through life's ups and downs and she's been teaching for over fifteen of those years. She's had quite the journey from her humble introduction to the practice in Montreal, Canada, then moving to San Jose, California, having four children, and continuing to practice and teach there. And finally, now, to opening her very own Mysore program in South Philly!
Meghan is affectionately named "The Benevolent Ashtanga Overlord" by her students, as she teaches way that is both empathetic and humorous, while still holding space for challenge and growth with her gentle guidance and encouragement.
As a mother of four young girls, Meghan knows what it's like to practice through all different stages of life and how difficult it is to maintain a practice through the hectic demands of wearing so many different hats. As an entrepreneur, fully stepping into her role of building a thriving Mysore program, she also is deeply involved with her family and continues to find time to explore her own studies of yoga philosophy as a spiritual seeker.
Meghan also knows just how quickly it can all be taken away. And that's what we're talking about today.
In August of 2019, Meghan had a stroke, right in the middle of her Ashtanga yoga practice! This random event changed her perspective on life completely. She realized, time is short. And that the peripheral community drama wasn't important to her personal practice. She decided to boldly step forward on her path, recognizing she didn't have time to wait for permission to teach. Instead, she made the resolve that if she recovered, she would claim her own authority. And we're so glad she did.

When Love Beckons You with Delara Tiv

"Come, come, whoever you are, a pagan, an idol worshiper or an infidel. Come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times. Ours is not a caravan of despair. Come."
- Rumi
Delara Tiv grew up with Sufi traditions throughout her family. However, it wasn't until she turned 22 that she became drunk with love and fell headfirst into the Sufi Mystic path as a disciple of Sufi Master Javad Nurbakhsh. Her spiritual practice is graced by his guidance and this Mystic teaching is a parallel practice to the path of Yoga.
As a Certified Advanced Rolfer and yoga teacher Delara's goal is to lead practitioners of all levels  to develop a safe and sustainable self-practice;  to grow by mindful embodiment and to overcome past injuries and limitations. 
Ashtanga Vevey was founded in 2018 by Delara Tiv, with the intention to hold space for a community to emerge  and to support yoga practitioners of all abilities on their path of self discovery in this deeply transformational practice.

Waiting For Grace with Nina Rao

It is with great pleasure that we introduce our esteemed and most honorable guest: the beautiful, humble, and one might say, divinely inspired human, Nina Rao!
What Nina enchants us with is an opportunity to reflect more deeply on what it means to cultivate a spiritual practice.
And, the shadow side, which is to examine just how often we fail at this noble endeavor. As she reminds us, this too is OK -- even part of the path. We all have families, obligations, children, and the whole point is that we keep trying to do better every day. Even when we can’t always be at our best.We also had a wondrous opportunity to talk about cultural appropriation and our earnest efforts to have an authentic experience in a post modernist world of self construction.
For those of us not born into a specific lineage, we have the gift and freedom to resonate and choose different spiritual paths and practices.
However, there is something to be said about digging a single well and going deep. Discovering what insight lays buried within the repetition. True learning. And, in the end, we touch something beyond this behavioral reality — we begin to transcend our ego-selves
As Neem Karoli Baba (Maharaji) said, “Go on chanting your false “Ram, Ram” some day you’ll get it right.” And, perhaps you’ll also find yourself running across the lake after your guru seeking to get the pronunciation exactly correct as you embark on your chosen path to enlightenment.
Spiritual practice is something that’s continually evolving as we grow and change as ‘spiritual beings having a human experience.’ And it's our birthright -- It's our dharma!
(A side note: The movie referenced in the beginning of our conversation was For the Benefit of All Beings.)

All of You is Welcome

Spiritual practice is about welcoming all of you. It's touching life exactly where life is touching you. It is allowing everything and everyone to be exactly as they are in this moment, without trying to change or manipulate our experience or theirs. In a way it is to give up trying to become anything other than you are. It's lovingly embracing that part of you that doesn't want to be embraced and meeting that part of yourself exactly where it is at.
Meditation is a practice of becoming aware of the NOW. It can begin right now. All you need to do is become aware of your body in this moment. Feel the mysterious sensations of breath moving, of your feet on the ground, of light bouncing off your eyes.
What does it feel like to be.... you? Uniquely, unrepeatably you, having whatever experience you're having, in this moment, right now, right here.
Will you bless it with your conscious awareness?

¡Hala Madrid! ...y nada más

"¡Hala Madrid! ...y nada más" means "Go Madrid and nothing more!"
During the course of this interview a smile started to slowly etch itself into our very souls. Some people are built different. Some people hide themselves away, only revealing who they are little by little. Then, over the desert course, possibly after uncorking another bottle of wine, they mention the unmentionable and blow your fucking mind.
That’s our guest today, Carmen Yagüe.
You could say Russell sort of circled her, with his sense of humour, like a hammer head shark wondering where the comedy would be. Carmen you’ll see is quiet, composed, and poised, she sits back taking it all in. But, what we didn't know is that she’s also someone that thinks about death. Muerte.
Like us, she thinks about it all the time. And, we find that delicious.
Anne Sexton and Sylvia Plath found that the unifying dimension to their friendship. They understood the immediacy of its appeal, the finality of its solution. The way death winds around us and presents to us as a kind of rising whistling cobra.
We know you’ll enjoy this episode as spinning gravitational bodies slowly come to observe one another within the same orbit.
Carmen Yagüe is an authorized teacher of Ashtanga yoga by Sharath R. Jois with close to 15 years of experience in the method. Ashtanga yoga's systematic, gradual approach appealed to her from the beginning, and she’s experienced the transformative power of the practice within her body, mind, and approach to life. Carmen supports her student's practice from a space of dedicated perseverance, integrity, and self-confidence.

Journey to Mysore Tenerife with Viviane Simon

Our guest today was born in Germany, growing up on her family’s farm in Bavaria. *side note BMW stands for Bayerische Motoren Werke or Bavarian Auto Works... and that's where Harmony will be teaching this week, in Munich!
When Ashtanga yoga found Viviane Simon she was going through a difficult period of depression, ending a seriously toxic relationship, and struggling with her weight, being 130kg (286 pounds). She enrolled in a “rebirthing training” course (which used a type of breathwork) and this led her into an Ashtanga yoga class.
This was back in April 2013, and since then, Ashtanga became her main focus because it helped her fall in love with herself again. After her third class she had a feeling of belonging, "THIS is it!"
What we loved most about our conversation with Viviane is that any discussion about her weight is nearly immaterial to her. Her success in yoga was totally based on the way her mind and emotions were changing, opening up new perspectives. She has zero interest in doing before and after pictures. For one: they do not showcase nor demonstrate her happiness! Two: they simply feed into a culture of body obsession and dysmorphia.
Viviane started to prioritize her practice as a way of prioritizing her self-care. This simple act changed everything. Her first teacher, Griselda, always encouraged her to practice, telling her it wasn’t necessary to change anything about her physicality, she never suggested that her body size, shape, or weight would be an impediment to any asana.
