Finding Harmony Podcast

Helena Rosenthal: Mystic, Mama, Musician

Helena first stepped onto the Ashtanga mat when she was 19 years old. Coming out of her rebellious teen years, filled with drug abusing and running away from home.
She was instantly bewitched by the method and has been practicing asana along with self-inquiry, ever since.
In 2008, after 6 years of daily practice and studying Ayurveda to become a therapist, Helena made her first trip to KPJAYI in Mysore, India, and also spent time in Kerala to further her studies in Ayurveda.
In 2010, after a one month training with Sharath Jois, (director of KPJAYI in Mysore) she was granted Authorisation Level 1 and received Level 2 in 2014.
While practicing and teaching in Brazil, Helena learned from many famous teachers including Fabio Sayão, Matthew Vollmer, and Osnir Cugenotta. For almost a decade she taught daily Mysore in São Paulo, offering classes in many different centers before founding her own Yoga Shala, Ashtanga Pitanga, where she directed and taught the Mysore program for 2 years.
A huge shift in her life happened when she moved to London in 2016, where she ran the Mysore Program at Triyoga Chelsea for the next two years. She began teaching internationally in other countries like Portugal, France, Germany and Purple Valley, Goa (while assisting Mark Robberds - listen to our episode #57 with Mark Robberds HERE). Helena continued to deepen her yoga studies with an intensive period of study with Gregor Maehle and Monica Gauci.
In 2019, she gave birth to her beautiful little boy Leornado and they decided to move to Valencia, Spain, with her partner. She’s now living in Palma de Mallorca, and has opened up EARTH YOGA in Santa Catalina.

Finding A Stillpoint with Scott Johnson

The Buddha counsels a grieving mother unable to come to terms with her son’s death to visit her neighbors door-to-door, and to collect a mustard seed from each household untouched by death. By the evening, her empty hands and new understanding enable the grieving mother to bury her son and become a disciple of the Buddha.
The Lily Pad Sutra
We’ll cherish this interview with our dear friend, the lovely Scott Johnson. We do try to find parallels with our guests, of course, as a regular listener - you know. And, certainly we explored misspent youths, broken childhoods, and our inevitable slide down a windy road that eventually turns into a spiritual path.
Scott is a sensitive soul. His gentle, compassionate, kind energy is transmitted not only through his teaching style, but you’ll feel it in the way he speaks.
The space we enter around him is saturated with loving kindness.
And yet.. some things are not so easy to share.
It goes without saying that we all have experienced loss to some degree or another.
To be sure, we would give up quite soon if we were tasked with looking for our own mustard seeds. Loss is inevitable.
Still, the passing of a dear friend, a joyously beautiful spirit, like Scott’s partner Ozge, is soul tearing, and spirit breaking. It’s quite hard to find common ground there. Even if we have experienced the loss of close friends ourselves. Each experience of loss is so unique.
That said, we’re grateful to Scott for sharing his story, his friendship, his wisdom, and his time with us. Somehow we came away encouraged about our community and the transformative power of the Ashtanga yoga practice.
We hope you enjoy this episode and find your own sense of encouragement, hope, and healing through absorbing and also integrating a new approach to your breath and movement practice. Maybe you’ll even find a Stillpoint amidst the chaos of an ever changing world.

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.
