Finding Harmony Podcast

Being, Nothingness & Suchness with Jivana Heyman

What a beautiful podcast to kick off Pride month!
This is an important month to celebrate our common humanity, diversity, and unconditional love and acceptance of one another.
Jivana coined the phrase, “Accessible Yoga,” over ten years ago, and it has now become the standard appellation for a large cross section of the immense yoga world. He brought the Accessible Yoga community together for the first time in 2015 for the Accessible Yoga Conference, which has gone on to become a focal point for this movement.
Russell’s tendency of over-relating to our guests has been noted. And this episode is no exception. It might seem he’s attempting to “out gay the gays,” so to speak. But it opens this conversation into an incredibly intimate and deep portrait of a young man stepping into a cultural identity during a particularly traumatic time in our collective history, the HIV/AIDS crisis.
Jivana talks about his anger as an activist and how it informed his beliefs. It gave insight to some very important decisions around how he could best serve, offering a unique way to practice yoga within a community of practitioners of varying identities, capacities, or abilities.
You see, this world is not a one way mirror. We are all reflections of one another. When we are angry, we project and see anger in the other, and that’s who we become.
Jivana has specialized in teaching yoga to people with disabilities with an emphasis on community building and social engagement. Out of this work, the nonprofit Accessible Yoga Association was created to support education, training, and advocacy with the mission of shifting the public perception of yoga. Accessible Yoga offers Conferences, Community Forums, a Podcast, and a popular Ambassador program
He’s the author of Accessible Yoga: Poses and Practices for Every Body (Shambhala Publications), and Yoga Revolution: Building a Practice of Courage & Compassion (Shambhala Publications, Nov. 2021).

Sally Parkes Yoga School For Life

We start off this episode with a cautionary tale about what happens when you experience debilitating back pain and don’t listen to your body, but try to work through the pain.
Our guest Sally Parkes, began her journey in the health and fitness industry in 1998 after qualifying as a personal trainer and gaining a bachelor in Sport Science in the year 2001.
Soon after, she experienced a deep calling to explore a more holistic approach to movement and breath, which led to Sally certifying as a yoga and pranayama teacher, training with Paul Dallaghan and Sri O.P.Tiwari at Yoga Thailand, where Harmony first met her during the time she was living and teaching there.
We dive deep into the troubling beginnings of what brought Sally to the this path of yoga in the first place. A path which she believes wholeheartedly saved her life.
Since then, Sally has gone on to train as a doula with Michel O’Dent and as a Pilates teacher with A.P.P.I.  (Australian Pilates Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute), and has established her own yoga teacher training school The Sally Parkes Yoga Academy in 2010, training over 1500 yoga teachers to date. Now specializing in solely women’s wellness, Sally’s academy offers yoga that honors the cycles of  menstruation, fertility, pregnancy, postnatal and menopause.

Spiritual Emergence with Dr. Emma Bragdon

We have an incredible conversation to share with you today!
Introducing our new friend, the eminent Dr. Emma Bragdon. Emma has been a pioneer in body-mind-spirit wellness for 50 years. She has written 7 books and co-produced two documentary films on topics related to mental health and healing. In fact, she’s been a teacher in experiential learning for adults since 1985. 
Dr. Bragdon is the Founder and Executive Director of the Foundation for Energy Therapies, Inc (FET), a not for profit dedicated to education and research. Integrative Mental Health University, IMHU, is a project of FET.
Prior to graduate school, Emma trained with some of the best bio-energetic and neo-Reichian therapists in the San Francisco Bay area!
Her advanced training in breathwork, bodywork and energy work became central in her understanding of how to support personal growth and wellness.
By 1988, Emma was licensed as a Marriage, Family, and Child Therapist, had earned her PhD in Transpersonal Psychology, and specialized in private practice around issues of Spiritual Emergency. She continues to coach individuals online from all continents in the world, as well as consult with organizations regarding identifying and managing spiritual emergencies.
And in fact, we’re considering training with Dr. Bragdon on how to become a spiritual emergence coach at her online Integrative Mental Health University. There is an increasing need for this work in our communities.
And, we artists, yogis, and podcast listeners are ripe for the exchange!

Lady Lucinda on Solsbury Hill

Well… we certainly didn’t expect that. We didn’t expect to be talking to Peter Gabriel’s niece. We didn’t expect her to actually be living beside Solsbury Hill. We didn’t think we’d be talking about all that much about Ben Folgle and the Animal Park show broadcast from her hometown of Bath. We didn’t think we we’d be talking that much about drugs and co-dependency and “good enough” mums and adult children of alcoholics.
Well… maybe that’s not such a surprise, as Russell does like to typically go in that direction, and it seems to be a theme amongst many Ashtanga practitioners.
We have to say that this wild episode is one of our personal favorites.
The drugs and name dropping is one thing… Twee references to the Royal family compound our glee!
But, what gets us the most is when someone has a sincere relationship to the healing power of practice. And Lucinda Leachman is the first to attest to how it’s helped her immensely. Using it as a somatic therapy, it’s helped her to process the past, let go of shame, and move confidently into an unknown future.
Lucinda is also no stranger to injury, pain, and frustration within the practice itself. As a mother, she’s learned to release perfectionism and embrace the blessings that practice brings, so she can show up more fully in her life.

Kyra Weinberger: The Burlesque Queen of Kansas City

Kyra tells us, “All good things in my life are because of my parents.”
Her parents were dancers, they’re liberal, kind-hearted humans, who found Ashtanga yoga first. They brought Kyra to her first class.
However, at that time, Kyra was deeply struggling with bulimia and anorexia. And although the class made an imprint, a spark was lit. It wasn’t until after she left treatment that she was fully able to return to it. Diving headfirst with an openness to receiving it's healing effects.
Today we’re talking about identity, hidden wounds, and how sometimes, even with the best upbringing and family, we struggle with our own darkness. The good news is there’s freedom when we compassionately embrace our shadows, find the courage to bring it into the light, and invite them to dance!
Kyra Weinberger grew up with dance, music, and yoga filling her home. She took the path of musical theater and ballet performing with professional companies from the age of 8. It was her first love and career, but it was not a forever love. Kyra knew at 19 years old, walking out of her first Intro to Ashtanga class she had found something that had always been missing. Unfortunately, the path wasn't exactly simple. Having dealt with an eating disorder and the anxiety for many years, it was not until recovery that a real practice was possible. The practice of Ashtanga has given Kyra tools to create a life of discipline and love.

Life after Death with Nadia Stinga Rihani

Nadia Stinga Rihani is a mother of two, a yoga teacher (ashtanga level 2 authorised in 2014), a former gymnast, and a qualified strategic psychotherapist and clinical hypnotherapist.
In 2019 Nadia was hit by a car, which left her unable to walk for many months, and she had to learn to start again completely. This accident resulted in the loss of her career and so, after taking off a period of time to focus on physical and mental rehabilitation, and also to have her second child (carrying the baby on a broken pelvis).
Nadia is currently studying nutrition and building a business that will help women manage the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause through diet, movement, meditation and observed rest.
Nadia is passionate about all things health and well-being, and although the car accident has been devastating, it has taught her a lot about physical movement and it’s power to help with grief and trauma. Nadia can usually be found in the ocean in Sydney where she lives, and she tries to swim every day possible.

Spiral Journey of Spirit

What is the spiritual path and how does it change us?
This is a solo episode with some thoughts and reflections on what it means to have a spiritual practice and discipline.
I offer a reading from the book: "Ritual As Remedy" by Mara Branscombe, ⁠a guest from back in January, episode 148⁠, and speak to how my own practice has shifted and changed over the years.
“Your faith may be found inside the quiet of daily meditation practice or in your evening prayers. Be it fire ceremony, sweat lodge, tea ceremony, yoga practice, playing music, ecstatic dance, or kitchen dance parties. Be it your journal practice, turning pottery, or summiting a mountain. What is your conscious practice where you build your house of faith?
Where do you fill yourself up on a soul level? What consciously and wholeheartedly lights you up and brings you lasting joy?” - Ritual as Remedy, by Mara Branscombe
These are important questions to reflect on when you’re cultivating a life of spirit.
How best can you honour this spiritual quest of life?
What makes you come alive and feeds your soul?
This is what I’m diving into today.

Paloma: No Woman, No Cry

“I am my own muse, I am the subject I know best. The subject I want to know better.”— Frida Kahlo
Youthfulness. What a beautiful blessing. Here we are met today by such openness to life, and all that her future has to offer, Palmoa Tamayo, graces us with her purity of spirit and sublime optimism.
From her early years, being introduced to the Ashtanga yoga practice, to studying in Mysore, and then being called upon as Eddie Stern’s assistant, Paloma has crossed a chasm to touch into the depth of her yoga practice.
It’s no small feat to be born in Mexico to a middle class family, forsaking the obvious path, to step outside one’s designated station to make new roads into a future yet defined.
It is here in the land of the unknown that we meet Paloma, in all her brilliance, to talk about where she has been and where she might go as she steps into an undermined future.
How wonderful it is to feel like the world is your oyster and that all good thing lay in wait.
Today, you’ll be reminded of the joyfulness of youth and the purity of the practice. What beauty. What innocence. What joyfulness there is to behold on the other side of cynicism and age.

Anita Cunha: Vegan Chef Extraordinaire!

May the universe never abuse food. Breath is food;the body eats food,this body rests on breath.Breath rests on the body; Food is resting on food. The one who knows thisbecomes rich in food and great in fame." - Taittiriya Upanishad
Anita Cunha, our dear friend and beautiful Vegan Chef joins us today. She specializes in creating perfectly balanced Ayurvedic cuisine. We’re learning about her journey down the path of self-discovery through her love for spice and food. She has a beautiful book called, “VEGAN INDIA: My Love Affair With The Land Of Spice” in which she shares much of her story along with incredibly delicious recipes.
Anita believes it’s possible to gain esoteric knowledge of our body and mind through changing our eating habits. Flavors and smells have the power to bring transformation and change our consciousness. And today we’re hearing all about her love affair with India, how she learned Hindi, and eventually after traveling for several years, found herself working as the head chef at the Purple Valley Yoga Center in Goa.
In her view, language, culture, religion, and food are intimately linked together and it’s impossible not to touch all these aspects of a culture when we decide to be a part of it. We’re able to understand others through stepping into their lived experiences through food and culture.

Life and Death with Ty Landrum

Eros is the drive of life, love, creativity, and sexuality, self-satisfaction, and species preservation. Thanatos, from the Greek word for "death" is the drive of aggression, sadism, destruction, violence, and death.”
- Sigmund Freud
It’s with great pleasure we sit down to speak with Ty Landrum to talk about his passion for Philosophy and the interplay of Eros and Thanatos. What creates the desire to thrive?
We examine the existential pointlessness of enduring our own suffering… And how to end it? A question that’s plagued humanity since the dawn of time, birthing the disciplines of Yoga and Buddhism.
You see, like all animals are caught in the chewing maw of the lioness’s embrace, eventually, we too will ultimately relax and sink into the void— Yet, we have the unique ability to anticipate this event and give up decades before we ever step into the jungle.
Ty was incredibly generous with us on this subject and we are grateful to him for sharing.
He speaks about how Ashtanga Yoga, quite literally, saved his life.
His PhD was an emotional response to this transformation. An elevation to a higher purpose. You can feel it still in his devotion to the practice.
Sri K. Pattabhi Jois would often quote Patanjali Yoga Sutra verse 12 in the first chapter, “practice yoga every day, with enthusiasm, for a long, long, long time.”
When you hear these stories of how yoga has saved, transformed, created a whole new way of being and seeing the world, you can’t help but feel the pull of the practice… rolling out your yoga mat for one more day, one more time.
A Poem. A Bio. A Life.
“Ty Landrum.
learned yoga from pain and heartache, loss and confusion, old books, lost tapes, full moons, long bouts of silence, cold winds, simplicity, forgiveness, surrender, and the caring words of a few good friends.
He draws inspiration from children, saffron, sage, carob, almonds, chocolate, wise women, gnarled old men, olive trees, deep rivers, steep mountains, quaking aspen, honeybees, love songs, sunrises, laughter and deep breath.”
