Finally! After two long years, we are back to podcasting! Welcome back to Go With The Flow: Yoga Conversations with Ben & Rianna. In this episode, we talk about "The Journey So Far". It's been more than ten years since we both started teaching yoga and in this episode, we talk about what it's been like so far. Because the journey of a yoga teacher doesn't end at becoming one. Being one is a continuous journey. We talk about our new yoga studio, yoga being the esoteric Bratz doll of the fitness community, the opportunities, struggles, and challenges that we have encountered, and lots of insights for everyone in this journey as well as those who wish to take it.

We have a new episode! New-ish. It took us half a year to edit and upload but we have it! Seriously speaking, we really took some time out of podcasting to take care of so many things in the last few months. We weren't even able to close the last season officially! But this new lockdown is making us feel familiar things, which we talked about in this season finale. Even if it's seven months old, many things still ring true in this episode. We hope you find it as enlightening as it was therapeutic for us. The good news is, we have a new season coming up! For now, enjoy this episode and let us know what you think and how you feel! You know where to reach us. Namaste. <3

In this episode, we talk about "dharma", or our sense of duty or purpose. Like karma, people throw the word dharma around without really know what it means or how it relates to our lives. You would think you were listening to the Secretaries of Labor and Education in this episode as we explore the concept of dharma in the context of our own lived experiences and the study and career choices that we made (or were made for us). Guess who wanted to be medical doctor and who wanted to be a veterinarian? But while we both ended up teaching yoga, we come from different backgrounds that are shaped by the choices that we made and how we perceived our dharma in life. If, after listening to this episode, you realize that your dharma involves sharing the practice of yoga, check out www.innerpowervinyasa.com/training and consider taking our 200H Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training.

In this episode, we debunk all the misconceptions of Karma and shed light into how the Yoga philosophy sees it. Learn about it's context as we talk about how old yogic texts really define what this universal concept means. It might surprise some of you! We really enjoyed this conversation. Give it a listen!

In light of recent events, we found it fitting to publish this recording as an episode of our podcast so that it may reach more yogis out there. On June 20,2020, in celebration of the International Day of Yoga, we delivered a talk on "Yoga as Freedom". In yoga practice, much has been said about the myth of the peaceful warrior—practitioners waging a silent war within, using asana, pranayama, and meditation to conquer whatever inner demons we have. But if the universe within us is the same universe within others, then it must be equally important to fight for the peace of others. Their peace is also ours. Find out how to harness the transformative energy of yoga and channel it towards a social manifestation of the great change that we can create for ourselves.

The uncertainty in the midst of this pandemic is scary and confusing for us yoga teachers. We totally understand how you feel and we are here for you. On April 25 and May 6, we did free webinars on navigating this digital shift and understanding our roles as teachers in this crisis. We shared our experience on how we've been handling the situation ourselves and some tips and advice on how to hold virtual space for others. We thank our fellow yoga teachers who participated for allowing us to record the webinar audio so that we can upload and publish it as a podcast episode. Here it is! Have a listen.

We're back! In this episode, we discuss Yoga in the Time of Corona and how our practice has come forth in this strange time in our lives. Listen to our conversation about how the teachings of Yoga apply in the way we deal with this pandemic, and the people around us.

Our conversation with long-time practitioner Ana David goes to show the value of following your own rhythm in yoga. We discuss her love for set sequences, crosstraining, and how important it is to find teachers you love and trust. Through the many phases of her life, yoga has been her safe space. And no matter what, she always finds her way back onto the mat.

In one of our most in-depth discussions about creating an inclusive and accessible practice, Yoga Therapist Ivy Hapitan discusses trauma informed yoga. If you're a teacher, we highly suggest you give this a listen. It makes us raise questions about the environment we create for our students and help us grow as continue teaching yoga. This is definitely a topic that we are passionate about. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did!

In this episode we interview one of our graduates, Trina Sotto! She has been practicing since 2003 and we talk about her journey towards going for her dreams of teaching yoga from her corporate job. We focus a lot in this interview on her as a prenatal and post partum yoga teacher so you'll hear a lot of questions from us about it. This interview was also really helpful for us to clarify misconceptions about how to deal with pregnant ladies in our classes. If you're a teacher, listen! We hope you enjoy this light-hearted and informative conversation as much as we did. To our dearest Trina, we are so proud and happy for you!

For Dona, yoga has been present in her life in so many ways -- from games that sharpened her intuition as a child, to her love for music and movement, to her connection with her feminine energy, as well as the people she has learned from. This episode shows how maturity in the practice is setting aside labels and being too stern about what Yoga is and is not. Listen to this inspiring conversation that makes us confident in being unapologetically ourselves.

Fresh from the critical and commercial success of her one-woman play, Every Brilliant Thing, and a few weeks before she is due to give birth to her third baby, we sat down with Teresa Herrera at her home to talk about yoga, the Global Mala Project Manila, motherhood, theater and everything that this multi-talented individual has dabbled in. With her lifelong experience as a model, yoga teacher, actor, mother, and global citizen, we all can learn a thing or two from Teresa. There's no better way to get that perspective than from listening in to this conversation. Whether you practice yoga or not, you will surely appreciate Teresa's insights on life, doing what you love, and just going with the flow.

If you're a yoga practitioner from outside Metro Manila, you can most likely relate to our guest in this episode, Pranalaya Yoga & Wellness owner Gelie dela Peña. Gelie is a Hot Yoga, Vinyasa, and Kundalini yoga teacher and an AntiGravity Fitness instructor. She built a Baguio yoga community virtually from scratch by following her heart and starting her own yoga studio. If you're interested in creating your own yoga community where you are now, Gelie might spark some inspiration in you. Listen to the episode and maybe visit Pranalaya Yoga in Baguio when you're in the city.

We learn more about the Rocket Yoga practice, its history and methodology, and its prospects for the future here in the Philippines! Listen in and get an insight on their philosophy as teachers and practitioners. Note: There are many times when we get too excited in this episode. Sorry for the noisy laughter!

Yoga teaching is a fun and fulfilling profession. Most people are not familiar how the yoga teaching job is set up. In this discussion, we talk about what it's like working in the yoga teaching industry and our other imagined work set up. While most teachers are engaged as freelancers, we also discuss what it would be like to be employed as a full-time yoga teacher. There are benefits and challenges to both and we discuss them fully in this episode.
We’d love to hear from you on our social media platforms!
