  • In this episode, we are honored to host Jesse Schein, a revered yoga teacher with 25 years of experience in both practicing and teaching yoga.

    Jesse's journey includes completing her teacher training under renowned instructors Maty Ezraty, Lisa Walford, and Chuck Miller at YogaWorks.

    She has led numerous 200-hour and 300-hour teacher trainings, workshops, and international retreats, and has even starred in the reality TV show "Yoga Girls."

    Described by L.A. Yoga as "hilarious, honest, straightforward, witty, intelligent, and deeply passionate about yoga," Jesse is known for embracing the complete practice of yoga—not just the asana. Her teaching philosophy centers on making yoga accessible to everyone, adapting the practice to individual needs, and creating an environment of curiosity, presence, exploration, effort, and joy. Inspired by Maty Ezraty's wisdom,

    Jesse believes, “The Yoga poses never change, you do. Thus, your relationship with the poses and the practice changes.”

    Her motto, "Do You, Be You," encourages authenticity and individual expression in practice, allowing each student to find their unique path in yoga.

    Join us for an incredible conversation exploring life and all things yoga, both on and off the mat.

    Enjoy the episode and discover the wisdom and warmth of an incredible teacher and friend.

  • Our guest today is Raghunath who has so much wisdom to share.

    He is a long-time yogi, spiritual teacher, musician, podcaster,and co-founder of Supersoul School and Farm.

    A teen in search of meaning, Ray Cappo fled his suburban Connecticut enclave for New York City — and found community among the misfits of Manhattan’s Lower East Side.

    He fell in love with punk rock, so he started a band, Youth of Today,and a record label. Success soon followed.

    By the late 1980’s, his bandhad thousands of fans, cementing Ray as a leading voice and trendsetter at the bullseye of hardcore culture.

    At the age of 22, he experienced a spiritual awakening and traveled to India to become a monk.

    After 6 and a half years, he began another successful band.

    20 years ago, Nathalie and Raghunath met while they both worked at YogaWorks in Los Angeles.

    He never planned to become a teacher, but was always fascinated by spiritual openness.

    After moving to L.A., he realized he didn’t want to be a musician anymore, but yoga was a passion of his.

    He was asked to sub as a teacher,and his teaching journey began from there.

    After all this time, what does yoga mean for Raghunath?

    In the past, he was always interested in alternative lifestyles and clean living, but he never approached yoga as a specific way to “fix” one thing.

    It was always a search for spirituality.

    Now, yoga isn’t the whole meal, rather it is the condiment for larger feasts of the soul.

    We are spiritual beings that have a soul.

    The goal of yoga is knowledge of the Self.

    Who are you underneath your ego self?

    Underneath all the trappings of the false self, who is the true you?

    The body is a gift, but it is not all we are.

    All aspects of yourself need to be nurtured.

  • There are times in life when surrendering is your best practice. There are moments in life when all is asked of us is to surrender. So much is not under our control. What if we learn how to dance with life and be fluid with every moment? This episode is a transmission of releasing into what is with grace. I leave you with a couple of practices so that you can allow the flow of surrendering into your life. Book I mention The Yamas & Niyamas by Deborah Adelle.
