Episode 98: Where is the money going? - taking back (financial) power to yoga teachers-fighting the system! With Clare Nicholls, Hrdayam Bern
“My livelihood is completely depended upon my capacity to share authentically and to share with this deep love and compassion. If i don't do my job, i don't get paid. “ Clare
This epsiode is a very important one and so close to the heart for me. Clare is my biggest inspiration on so many levels, specifically in fighting the capatalist system within the yoga industry. Last week i started my own classes, completely run on my own, renting a space, doing my thing. In this episode Clare explains why it's so important to do just that, she shares her journey with running her own space in Bern and her passion and love for this thing called YOGA.
"I wasn’t just going to open another yoga studio in Bern, one because there are so many, two, because I have very strong feelings about capitalism and commercialising yoga. So I wanted to create another system, where I just rent a space and sublet that space to other teachers. Moving away from a commercial model can only be good. Collectives are so much more useful than studios. When places become too big, they become unsustainable. My dream is to have something that lasts."
We also speak about:
The battle with the current climate….. 3 words bios on an apps, picking and choosing teachers, classes etc. And then there’s us, senior teachers, with a few decades of experience, how do we stand stand out? Yoga is not something that works well in a space that has a commercial interest. There’s a different kind of energy exchange with these two models of payment, when a teacher gets paid by the studio, doen’t even know the student names, just rocks up an teaches or when the teacher gets paid directly by the student, builds a relationship with them, that’s a fully different experience. WHAT IS YOGA? Asana is NOT yoga. ...... and so much more!

HRDAYAM: means heart or heart space.
GURU DAKSHINA: The Guru Dakshina is a very ancient concept belonging to the Indian origin. It is unique because no other country has this tradition. It is the tradition to repay one’s ‘guru’ or the ‘teacher’ after the whole process of education is complete. This is done out of respect and acknowledgment by the student towards the teacher or the guru. -

Episode 95: Come as you are, creating global community with Salons for Life
The second episode in our EMPOWERED WOMEN SERIES!
In this episode i speak with the founders of SALONS FOR LIFE: Nirupa, Sybil and Kate. A magical trio who created a true special project, i am honored to be part of.
WHAT IS SALONS FOR LIFE?
The founding vison came from creating a shared authority space where adults could free themselves in thinking and embodying and sharing as creative beings. Focused on a shared desire to LEARN. Which was a common desire of the founders but they soon learned this desire was something many people felt across the globe, this collective striving and yearning united the community and attracts the life learners through their different salons and salon facilitators.
So we speak about the founding principals of the Salons and where they came from. We also speak about:
How the Salons came about and how much they have grownZoom Fatique online versus in personWhat does community really mean? And how they created a local to global community with their salonsIntrovert versus extravert and the different ways of expression oneselfTo COME AS YOU ARE and they take time to reflect on their ethos and finding principles
Sybil - the second co-founder of the Salons for Life cohort - and i first met at a Thanksgiving Yoga Retreat at Ananda Ashram in Upstate New York. A fellow yoga practitioner (Nirupa, Sybil and Kate all met each other @urbansadhujerseycity circa 2017) After attending her first salon with trustbs , i expressed in all my well known enthusiasm, how much love i have for the work they do, coupled with my own dedication to helping people create healthy and happy lives made, as match was made in heaven!
And so here i am..... my upcoming salon, “SLO-MO: Way to Go – Slow Living in a Fast World,” is very much steeped in the spirit of making New Year’s resolutions that last beyond just a month or year, but a lifetime living mindful, easeful, and joyful living.
Join Salons for Life as we kick off our 7th year of salons!
Saturday, January 27th, 2024, 10:30am-12pm ET / 4:30-6pm CET on Zoom.

Episode 93 On War and Peace brokers with Austin from Urban Sadhu Yoga
Austin is back! And this time we explore the heavy topic of war and our responsibility as a yoga teacher to bring this topic into our classes and communities. YOGA IS POLITICS! And this needs to be addressed more. Austin explains his point of view through ancient yogi texts and the way he works with and within his community bringing his views and method of yoga in Jersey City. This truly is a MUST LISTEN!
I invited Austin to speak about this topic specifically bcause I feel it’s so crazy to be in the business of “peace” as a yoga teacher and be confronted with this war and feel helpless and powerless. I also feel it’s our job as yoga teachers to talk about this, to bring politics into class, to have this conversation, we speak about all this and about spiritual bypassing too.... another important topic!
Please listen, share and leave a review!

“ EVERYTHING FALLS INTO PLACE, RIGHT IN MY FACE!” (From the song Do you know why)
Episode 89! VALUES HERE! With Chui and Porcell
WE ARE BACK! After a break we’re back at it! And we could not have come back with a better episode then this one! RIGHT IN YOUR FACE! Yeah!
Guest host Miguel and I sit down with Chui and Porcell (from Judge, Shelter, Gorilla Biscuits) to talk about their brand new band VALUES HERE and their upcoming album: TAKE YOUR TIME, I’LL BE WAITING which will be released next week Friday 22nd!
We speak about:
MUSIC! The importance of it.PMA! (Positive Mental Attitude)Chasing your dreams! Never giving up on yourself!The upcoming albums and the meaning of some of the songsVALUES and ETHICS!Being a DIVA and just being your true, authentic self and MUCH MORE!Even if music isn't your thing, or tattoos or yoga..... you will still find some jewels in this conversation that will inspire you and change you, rearrange you! These two are powerhouses, have a listen and share!
“Personally I always like to push the envelope with every band and record I do. I never just want to live off of past accomplishments and recreate a sound I did with previous bands just because I know it will be immediately accepted. I’d rather push forward and always challenge myself to make newer and more interesting music. I knew Chui was an amazing singer so I wanted to write songs that would showcase her voice and harmonies. I’m a punk rocker at heart so I’ll always make music that’s energetic and rallies around a message, but for this record I wanted to go further into the melodic side of things.” PORCELL

Episode 87: The hard life of Devadasis and how we can show support with Mahima from Terre des Hommes
‘If I were to sit under a tree and tell you the sadness we have to suffer’, she said, ‘the leaves of that tree would fall like tears. (From the book Nine Lives)
In this episode Mahima Sashank from Terre des Hommes NL explains all about the life of Devadasis in India and her role and the role of Terre des Hommes to change the narrative and how to create a better world for those faced with the hard life of being a Devadasi.
“They are bold, they want to bring about change, they want their lives to change.” Mahima Sashank
DEVADASI means servant of God, but this term has been used for children who get into a system of sexual exploitation. Children as young as 12, 13 years old are told this is what they are supposed to do in the name of God and culture.
Terre des Hommes offers life skill training: A total of 16. Confidence building, resilience, communication skills, leadership training and more.
CHILDREN GOOD Project TdH is working to getting children out of the devadasi system in 5 districts in North Karanataka, 80 villages all together. TDH wants to empower the children. “We are just facilitators and we EMPOWER them!”
About Terre des Hommes:
A global organisation you can find all over the world.
They focus on:
ADVOCACY teaching children that and how to fight for themselves, train them how to speak and defend themselves through the lifeskill program.
SENSITISING the community and the community members about the hard life of devadasis. Change in community attitudes.
Training children as agents. Children solving village problems. Including them in problem solving for the communities.
SPREADING AWARENESS AND RAISING MONEY! Please donate to this cause and BE PART OF THE CHANGE! CONTRIBUTE TO THE SOLUTION!
“The devadasi system is not a cultural practice by any stretch of imagination, but a system of child rape, sexual slavery, caste discrimination and gender-based violence.” The New Humanitarian

Stewart Gilchrist and Mick Barnes both Senior Yoga Teachers (teaching for over 15 and 20 years) and true legends. We speak about how CAPITALISM IS DESTROYING YOGA!

They explain WHAT YOGA IS AND WHAT YOGA ISN’T! . It’s an incredible unique, authentic and pure hearted episode sharing the ultimate truth and core of what yoga is or at least should be….. and even if you aren’t into yoga, these two will entertain you and open up your eyes and inspire you in many ways!

INSIGHTS/HIGHLIGHTS:
REAL YOGA:
STEW: The only real yoga are the ones that are mentioned in the Shastras, Puranas, Upanishads and ancient sacred texts. Those are yogas. The other ones aren’t, they are businesses, just in it to make a profit. They are made up, without any scriptural history.
YOGS ENDS SUFFERING:
STEW: I think about quitting everyday. But then I think about how many people are suffering in this world and I suffered badly before I found yoga. I suffered every singe day and I made others suffer. And the one thing that helped me was yoga. So if I can show people that helped me with my suffering I can alleviate some of that suffering for them. That is what keeps me going. That stops me from quitting every single day.
YOU CAN’T DO YOGA ON A COMPUTER:
MICK: After Covid we got left with the phenomenon that is now Zoom. That has been the most challenging. Our little shala has never recovered, we lost some people because they lost their discipline and now we are still up against the Zoom and it sickened me. It sucked the life out of me, this capitalist marketing, people getting rich with setting up cameras all over gyms and yoga schools, but you can’t do yoga on a computer, a big part of the practice is the effort it takes to get to the shala. It’s been very hard for me.
JUST KEEP GOING:
Stew to Mick: Hang in there, you’re doing the right thing. I get frustrated and angry with it too, just keep doing what you’re doing. What you’re doing is fine, it’s almost like a separation, you got to separate yourself mentally. You can feel alienated. But you have to keep going…..
YOGA IS A SCIENCE:
MICK: I believe yoga is a science. If you subscribe to a certain order of practices, processes, being open to being taught, moving from absolute nobody awareness to awareness, its a holistic process, this is so much more than turning a computer on. Teachers need to have these people present, so we can emerge them, teach them, educate them, so they get the full benefit of it. THERE IS AN ORDER FOR EVERYTHING.
Give everybody an opportunity to shine be able to teach anyone to practice yoga. You have to start somewhere.
IT’S NOT WHERE YOU ARE GOING, IT’S WHERE YOU CAME FROM! MICK: Sharon used to say we are everything there is nothing to get, nothing to gain. And that is exactly it, it’s not about where we are going, it’s retracing our way back where we came from. (Sharon Gannon, co-founder Jivamukti Yoga)
THE EVOLUTION OF THE SPIRIT! MICK: When you get older, you realise it’s not really you doing it. That’s the practice. The evolution of the spirit, it’s not you. -
Episode 83 SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL (CITY) FARMER with Andres Jara
“My food always comes with a message” Andres Jara
I am all for supporting your locals and for that reason alone this episode is one close to my heart! We recorded this in November 2021 but is still as accurate to share! Talking to the lovely Andres, local farmer and plant based food producer. We speak about his joureny from being a butcher in Italy to a plantbased farmer and food producer in Amsterdam. He aspires to bring more knowledge and appreciation for local and seasonal food choices into town and he does it in such an enthusiastic and passionate way! I love this guy! It’s especially great for those of you living in Amsterdam and able to support Andres and de STADSGROENTEBOER but just as inspiring for those who don’t! . We speak about the farm, how it all works, how the farm started, why we should farm sustainably, how and why we can all do it, how and why to support the project and Andres side projects like his sauces and products with his brand JARA. We speak also about food travelling, creating consciousness in our mindset when it comes to where our food is coming from etc….

Born in Colombia, trained as a chef in Peru, had his own catering company in Colombia, studied gastronomic sciences in Italy, mastered the technique of Italian butchery in Tuscany and is now growing vegetables in the Netherlands. With his enthusiasm and networking skills, he ensures that word gets around fast. He is an expert at finding locally available resources, like woodchips, mushroom compost, or bathtubs! He also sees to it that the greenhouses are kept shipshape and that the farm’s self-made compost is at it best. He loves to use the farm’s produce for events, workshops and his creative products. And he aspires to bring more knowledge and appreciation for local and seasonal food choices into town. Check out his latest project https://jara.earth/
ABOUT DE STADSGROENTEBOER:
We are Andres, Laura, Lisa, Julia and Milo. Gardeners, cooks, bakers, cheesemakers, scientists and food entrepreneurs from the Netherlands, Switzerland and Colombia. We met at a small university in Piedmont, Italy, where we spent four wonderful years studying the origins, taste and culture of food. After each of us had gone on their individual journey through Europe to work on different organic farms and explore the food industry, the time was ripe to start our own project. In December 2018, we took over the vegetable garden from the first Stadsgroenteboer Wout ten Have. In 2021, we got the opportunity to expand our farm from half a hectare to almost one hectare and rent a piece of land in the Lutkemeer polder on the organic farm de Boterbloem. -

Episode 81 Self Mastery, GETTING REAL and the Conscious Lab with Cherryl Duncan
Want to get shit done? GET REAL AND GET WHAT YOU WANT!
“I have a lot of ideas and a lot of them fail and then eventually something works and I don’t know if it’s courage or stupidity probably a bit of both, but I can’t not do something” Cherryl
We’ve recorded this episode way back on the 23rd of November in 2021 but both felt it was accurate enough to share it! And I am now also going to be teaching for the Conscious Lab starting this Tuesday the 17th, so perfect timing to share this episode now! :)
We talk about going back to believing nothing in tough times, throwing everything out and starting from scratch, and in this way really finding your own authenticity, finding your own values. We also talk about the practical application of yoga at this time and age and how the industry is ever evolving and ever growing. And the importance of having a good teacher! And the importance of not undercharging yourself as a yoga teacher. Knowing your own worth.
Cherryl initially started her project: the Conscious Lab a yoga and meditation online platform in Covid time but it’s still running now as a hybrid, online channel, very convenenient and time saving for people joining and it is here to stay. Even though it’s an online platform there is a strong human connection, a feel of community.
What does the word conscious mean for Cherryl? MAKING CHOICES FROM AN INFORMED PLACE, FROM AWAKENING.
About Cherryl:
Cherryl is a passionate entrepreneur and has been in the business of raising consciousness for over 18 years. She is the founder of The Conscious Lab, an online Universe with of tools and practices like Yoga, meditation, breath work and coaching, as well as Conscious cosmetics and sustainable fashion.
Cherryl is also a Self Mastery Coach and the author of Magnificently Real. Her focus is to encourage, train and teach people to live a life driven by desire. She also developed her own method of Yoga called dharmaKaya® Yoga which incorporates the Taoist practice of Emotional alchemy at the core of the method. Cherryl has run Yoga Teacher Training programs, Coaching Training programs and now coaches groups in organisations and is in the process of digitalising her programs to be made more accessible on The Conscious Lab platform.
Originally from South Africa, Cherryl sold the Yoga Studio she owned to move to Germany where she has been living for the last 10 years.
At the very beginning, she left a career in advertising to pursue more authentic feeling goals of self investigation which led her to living in ashrams in India, studying with famous yoga teachers in New York, studying Tibetan Buddhism with Western monks from Arizona, attending Shamanic rituals in Brazil and other pursuits that still keep her dedicated to the path of Self Mastery and the pursuit of a living a life most fully lived.

Episode 78: how do you want to be remembered with Steven Hess
“You don’t get to first place without a second opinion.”
How do you design your life? How do you want to be remembered? What is success? What is this work, life, balance business everyone always talks about? According to my guest this week work, life, balance is total BS…… And the difference between an “entrepreneur and an “offtrepeneur”
Hear me out!
The end of the year is here a perfect time for reflection and setting an intention for next year! Now this guest will most def inspire and help you with that! Meet Steven Hess, an international advisor, mentor and coach, sought-after for his honest, considered and straightforward approach. I have had the pleasure to have a coaching session with him this week actually and it’s helped me so very much! We speak about daring to look at yourself, being yourself, bravery, the value of mentorship and coaching others and how we can live our lives to the fullest! Steven fundamentally believes that success is more about legacy than the bottom line.
Steven lives in London with his wife and three sons.
HOW DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED? Now…. that would be a nice intention and question to ask yourself for 23!

ABOUT WHITECAP COACHING:
Mentorship, in all its forms, has value - a consultancy will absolutely focus your business and resources (be they human or otherwise) on where it and they need to be. It just tends to ignore the human element when it comes to forging a path toward success. And where a business coach will do wonders when morale reaches rock bottom, it will focus much less on the bottom line.
WhiteCap offers a different way forward - empathy, but with action, guidance, and goals; ambition plus authenticity. The science of success is a two-sided coin, and WhiteCap gives you both in a quantified system designed to identify what’s working well and areas for focus.
