In this episode of Life On Earth, Nathalie reconnects with Andrew Abaria—actor, musician, and longtime yoga practitioner—for a conversation on meditation, discipline, and inner work.
Together, they explore the depth of Vipassana meditation, the evolution of a yoga practice over time, and the shift from external performance to internal awareness.
Andrew shares his experience attending multiple Vipassana retreats and offers insight into the structure, intensity, and transformative potential of this practice.
This conversation is an invitation to slow down, observe, and cultivate equanimity—both on and off the mat.
Key Topics
- The evolution of a yoga practice over time
- From vinyasa flow to slower, more intentional movement
- The structure and discipline of Vipassana meditation retreats
- What to expect during a 10-day silent retreat
- Awareness of body sensations as a meditation practice
- Equanimity: learning to observe without reacting
- The connection between yoga and meditation
- Training the mind to respond rather than react in daily life
- Creativity, authenticity, and returning to the arts
Andrew's Quotes
“You fill your time with postures when you’re young. As you get older, you fill your postures with time.”
“Vipassana is about observing sensations in the body and learning not to react.”
“It’s not just meditation—it’s training for how you respond to life.”
“You begin to notice cravings and aversions—and stop feeding them.”
Highlights
- Andrew’s journey from musician to actor, and back to inner practice
- The distinction between modern meditation trends and traditional practices
- How physical practices like yoga and Lagree can support mental focus
- The role of discipline in both creative work and spiritual practice

Sébastien Lagree — inventor, founder & CEO of Lagree Fitness, creator of the Megaformer and over 100 patented fitness technologies
In this episode, Nathalie welcomes visionary fitness innovator Sébastien Lagree for a conversation that bridges movement science, spiritual awareness, and the future of wellness.
Sébastien shares his remarkable journey from his bodybuilding roots to developing the Lagree Method, a globally recognized high-intensity, low-impact training system licensed in more than 500 studios worldwide. Together, they explore how his passion for design and experimentation led to the invention of the Megaformer.
Nathalie and Sébastien dive into the often misunderstood distinction between Lagree Fitness and Pilates. While both share roots in mindful movement and spring-based equipment, their intentions differ. Pilates, developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900s, was originally designed for healing, rehabilitation, and restoring balance in the body through alignment, control, and mindfulness. Lagree, on the other hand, merges strength training, cardio, and muscular endurance into one continuous, full-body workout. It applies bodybuilding principles such as time under tension and progressive overload, yet remains joint-safe and accessible through spring resistance. As Sébastien explains, Pilates aims to restore and heal, while Lagree was created to sculpt, strengthen, and transform—each method serving a unique purpose in supporting mind-body connection and overall vitality.
The discussion expands into deeper territory—how mindset, intention, and heart–brain coherence transform physical training into a spiritual practice.
Sébastien and Nathalie reflect on how fitness can be a path to self-mastery, clarity, and confidence when approached consciously.
Practical insights include how often to train, why 20–45 minute sessions can be highly effective, and the importance of honest nutrition habits for lasting results.
They also explore where fitness is headed next: from biohacking and R&D innovation to measuring wellness through energy, focus, and mental balance rather than calories burned.
This inspiring conversation reminds listeners that movement is both science and art—a gateway to deeper self-awareness, empowerment, and transformation.

Baron has a super interesting background. He is the founder of Baptiste Power Yoga, and the author of many books. He grew up in San Francisco, where he learned yoga from a young age.

Among many other things Baron worked as coaching staff with the NFL team Philadelphia Eagles.
His newest venture is his podcast "Disrupting the Drift", which I highly recommend.

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.

Meet Aurora Brenes.
Aurora joins us from Panama, we talk about how to cultivate feminine energy in all aspects of life.
Allow yourself to open up and Awaken the Shakti Within.

Both masculine and feminine energies are sacred and necessary.
In todays world we tend to reject the feminine energy.

Today we are joined by Tarini Menezies and Roxann DeSouza, graduates of the Shanti Yoga Training School and currently based in India.
Tarini and Roxanne are here to discuss what we can do as a community to step up and help India, giving back, and what yoga means to them today.
Tarini and Roxann are yoga teachers based in Mumbai.
Tarini was brought to yoga by her high-stress job in law. For Tarini, yoga is a way to channel anxiety and stress in a more helpful way. For Roxanne, this past year yoga has been a way to cope with anxiety for both old and new practitioners.
When the pandemic started in India in January 2020, much like everywhere else, people didn’t think it would be a big deal. Within a few weeks the country was in a lockdown that lasted for months.
In January of 2021, the country started slowly opening up again. Since then, things have taken a drastic turn for the worse.
Cases began increasing at a drastic rate, with variant cases appearing more often and more aggressively.
There was also a huge increase in children and young people getting sick, along with people getting COVID-19 for the second time.
Yoga is about mindfulness - bring that mindfulness outside of yourself to the greater world and give back.
Here are 3 NGOs that are doing great covid relief work in India suggested by Raxann and Tarini.

Tapping into the Aquarian Technology with GLACCE.
Intention & Action paired together are powerful tools.
Today we are joined by Sharon Leslie and Julia Schoen, the founders of Glacce.
They make crystal water bottles designed to infuse your hydration with intention.
Glacce began in 2015 when Sharon came up with the idea for the bottle in a dream. Both Sharon and Julia have always been interested in the left-handed path, magic, and finding their own place in life. Therefore, when this idea appeared, it was a clear message to build it. Beginning as a vision to create a portable crystal elixir, Glacce has expanded into multiple luxury sustainable tools and containers for water.
The two met when they were 5, and Julia believes they were destined to be soul family. They grew up together exploring magic and playing witches in Julia’s treehouse. Mentors advised against them partnering in business, but they both knew it was what they wanted. There is a baseline understanding between them that they truly want the best for each other in every aspect.
Just like how every person has a different and unique energy, so do crystals. By setting intentions into a specific crystal and immersing it in water, the water is absorbing that energy which is transferred to you whenever you drink. You are supercharging your life. Magic doesn’t have to be strived for; it’s always happening. It’s important to know and understand your own relationship with your crystals to amplify the energy and your experience with them.
Follow Glacce on Instagram @glacce & connect with Sharon and Julia.

Rebecca Rebouche is an American painter, writer, filmmaker, and entrepreneur known for her decade-long collaboration with international retailer Anthropologie and her large-scale paintings of allegorical family trees. John James Audubon meets Frida Kahlo in a Chagall dreamscape, her work is here to tell the story of us that we didn’t know needed telling. Her surreal naturalistic paintings paired with her intuitive journaling have drawn not only collectors but enthusiasts to her work, resulting in a model of artful living celebrated in The New York Times, Garden & Gun, Anthology Magazine, Madame Air France Magazine and The Great Discontent.
Rebecca Rebouche is a New Orleans-based artist.
She describes herself as “in service to tenderness, to people’s base humanity, and their highest rapture.
"I clear my energy to create, to receive, to be in the exchange.”
Whether she was drawing the backs of people’s heads in church or doodling in school, Rebecca’s talent was encouraged.
She went on to study Fine Art and Graphic Design at college. After graduating, she worked in advertising before realizing she could be a full-time artist in her own right.
Knowing what she wanted to do from an early age was a blessing and a curse. Creativity and being artistic was always the connecting thread in everything she did. It just took time to hone the method of expression. Rebecca feels like she has built her own language using art.
Art in any form is a way of communicating with the universe what gives you life energy and joy. As a self-represented artist, Rebecca takes so much joy in planning her shows and exhibitions.
It is about focusing energy on putting together and telling a story. When it comes to her creative process, Rebecca approaches it in a way that works for her natural ebbs and flows. She creates when she feels creative and doesn’t force it when she is not in the flow of creativity.

Martha Soffer is an Ayurvedic guru and Founder of Surya Spa.
She utilizes a system of practical and easy self-care, helping everyone attain balance and wellness through healing retreats, restorative beauty, wellness, and food products, as well as educational guidance and support.
For years, Martha worked in computer science. After a rough break up, Martha had the opportunity to study transcendental meditation, and fell in love with the benefits. It was a life changing event 31 years ago that set her on the path she is on now - a path of healing and helping others.
At Surya Spa, Martha practices Ayurvedic Panchakarma, a way of purging toxins from the body. Using what nature provides, Martha creates herbal treatments that are tailored to what each person needs. It’s commonly a 7-day process because there are 7 tissues that are worked on during the experience.
Panchakarma focuses on doshas, influenced by our environments, nutrition, and even location. Martha explains the 3 doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) and what will be beneficial or detrimental for each person. For women, Martha wants you to embrace your womanhood.
Later, Martha and Nathalie discuss what you should be doing during a cleanse, connecting to the planet, and how you can begin with Panchakarma.

Dayle Breault is Founder of the Goddess of Skin skincare line.
All of her products are free of damaging chemicals and designed with wellness and healing body, mind and spirit in mind.
Bio ---> Dayle Breault is an internationally recognized Holistic Esthetician for the last 33 years. She has trained around the world with the industry's top educators. Because of her relationship with her celebrity clientele, Dayle has worked in the desert of Siwa, Egypt, the Fashion Capital of Paris, and every metropolitan city of the US. Having this exposure to every type of climate, she is well versed in all forms of skincare. ]Her work has been featured in such top beauty magazines as Vogue, In Style, Allure, Glamour, Shape, Nylon, LA Confidential and many more. She has been recognized by Goop as one of the Top Facialists for the last 5 years. In 2004, Dayle began formulating what is now one of the most coveted skin care brands on the market. Her passion in skin care is vast. And creating a more holistic approach has enabled her to take her work from cosmetic to a more internal emotional support.
On LIFE ON EARTH Podcast ---> Dayle joins us today to discuss her background as a holistic esthetician, creating feel good natural products, and integrating energy healing and moon cycles into her practice.
Goddess of Skin began in 2004, and Dayle soon realized that making her products incorporate mantras made them much more effective for her clients.
Everything Dayle makes is small batch and made with intention.
When the pandemic came, Dayle felt like she had lost her business and her identity. She realized she could take the time in lockdown to look inward and work on personal development. She gained her fourth attunement in Reiki, learned about breathwork, and worked on what she could do for her clients outside of the physical body.
To end the episode, Dayle and Nathalie take us through the Goddess of Skincare product line and how to use it to maximize the benefits you can receive.
They also discuss the historic stigma against men using skincare and how it is changing.

Veronica Ciandre is creator of high vibration jeweller line iSOLA.
Designed to help your body re-harmonize with its natural frequencies, iSOLA aims to help you bring wellness with you wherever you go.
Veronica joins Nathalie today to discuss her experiences with frequencies, how they affect her and how you can protect yourself if you share her sensitivity.
Back in 2010, the building that Veronica lived in had 25 cell towers installed on the roof, 10 of which were right above her apartment. Within a short amount of time, Veronica started experiencing a myriad of physical symptoms. She had symptoms of insomnia, dizziness and headaches. The symptoms continued and within 6 months developed into symptoms of chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, Parkinson’s, arthritis, tremors, and more.
After going on a camping trip to re-wild herself, she experienced an alleviation of symptoms, only to find them return when she came home. After extensive research and investigation by Dr. Magda Havass, Veronica came to the realization that it was the frequencies that affected her.
Veronica uses affirmations to help her stay focused and to talk to her own DNA.
The power of using affirmations everyday and practicing gratitude for that which is good has been a driving force in her life.

In today’s conversation, John Strickler, Nathalie’s partner, here to dive into non-violence and exploring the meaning of ahimsa.
For John, ahimsa means non-violence against yourself, others, animals, and the Earth.
The Earth is our home and should be respected and treated with reverence, not polluted and destroyed. If you see something out of place, something wrong, it is your responsibility to speak up and take action.
Learning self-love is a process, and there will be times where you honor yourself and times when you don’t. It is important to remember that we are all works in progress. Everyone has a dharma or purpose, and some have many. John believes we are born with our purpose but that it takes time and work to discover it.
Nathalie brings the conversation full circle back to self-love and the differences between how feminine and masculine perspective changes the experience of self-love.
To end the episode, John offers advice for grounding yourself and giving yourself grace, and the two discuss the new addition to their household.
In this episode we mentioned - Kamal Ravikant, who is the author of the bestselling books, Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends and Live Your Truth comes Rebirth.

Josh Biro is the Founder of The Yogapreneur Collective and Head Coach at Nomad Business Coaching, a consulting company that helps yoga studio owners systematize their businesses for more profit and peace of mind.
He joins Nathalie today to discuss time management, nomadic lifestyles, and viewing health as a totality.
Josh begins today’s discussion by explaining The Yogapreneur Collective and how he helps others in the yoga industry by creating community. He discovered yoga later in life even though he comes from a yoga family.
He went from becoming a teacher, to helping others with their studios, to opening his own studio with his wife. They ultimately sold the business and have spent the last 6 years travelling the world with their 3 children.
If you are feeling discouraged as a small business owner by the events of the past year, Josh offers some advice.
Clarify your vision and step into your fear. If you are trying something new, you are bound to be nervous.
Learn to schedule your life (even your time off) and live by your schedule. Look at where you are going and what needs to happen to get you there.
To end the episode, Josh takes us through his morning routine and how he combines physicality with meditation.
If you are looking to start a health journey this year, do what makes you feel happy and grounded. You can always do something, no matter where you are.

Today we are discussing the yoga sutra of Pratipaksha Bhavana, the concept of opposites. It states “when disturbed by negative thoughts, opposite ones should be thought of.” Nathalie discusses how to practice Pratipaksha Bhavana, the power of contemplation, and coming back to yourself.
Pratipaksha Bhavana can be used when you are in a state of emotional turbulence to help you release painful and destructive emotions. If you can practice this, it can help you reach a higher place spiritually. It is easier said than done to set aside those feelings. Over time, we become psychologically and neurologically habituated to the experience.
Removing yourself from the situation can help you with that release and offer perspective. The practice of Pratipaksha Bhavana is about contemplation of the opposite. Ask yourself if you are addicted to the sensations negative emotions produce. If so, ask yourself if you really need to be connected to extremes all the time. Feel your breath and focus on your body.
Consistent practice and dedication are the foundation of all yoga. Love, peace, and harmony are the natural states of our souls and through practice you can align. With continuous work and curiosity, you can learn how to come back to yourself.

In today’s special episode, Nathalie joins Valeria Teles on the Fit for Joy podcast. Together they discuss Nathalie’s journey, how manifesting change begins, and the importance of taking responsibility for the planet we call home.
Nathalie sees herself as a citizen of the world. Always moving and travelling when she was younger meant that her world has always been diverse. For others, that isn’t always the case. To overcome judgemental behaviours, look to the conditioning and perimeters set upon you. Dismantle them and learn to live in acceptance and others.
Discussing her book, Living Life with Light, Nathalie tells us how it is an expression of her journey and learnings in the many aspects of healing. When looking to change and heal, she reminds us that everyone has a different story and seeks validation. Ask your questions to the universe and know that you will receive the answers you need for your growth.
For Nathalie, love cannot begin without a deep love of your self first. Look inward and forgive yourself. Let go of what holds you back from unconditional love and give yourself grace. Nothing in this life is certain, only that everything changes. Open yourself to the flow and let the Universe guide you.

Pedro Valente has been honouring the jujutsu tradition his entire life. Along with his brothers, Pedro runs The Valente Brothers Jiu-Jitsu Self Defense School in Florida. He joins Nathalie today to discuss the philosophy of jujutsu, tradition, and finding and accepting the flow of life.
Pedro and his brothers began learning the art when they were young from their father, and by world renowned Jiu-Jitsu grandmasters Hélio Gracie, who founded the self-defence martial art system of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. At age 18, Pedro moved from Brazil to the US to attend the University of Miami School of Business Administration. Growing up, Pedro always knew that jujutsu would be a part of his life.
The philosophy of jujutsu is as important as the practice, if not more, to Pedro. It can be applied to daily life and helps to build self confidence and self esteem. By building confidence in your physical abilities, you are building your self esteem and changing your perspective of yourself. You are seeing yourself with true worth.
It is important to accept the flow of life and try not to resist change.
Jujutsu roughly translates to ‘the art of flexibility’. Resisting life and it’s changes only adds friction and stops focus. Cultivate balance and be open to change. The world needs more confidence; insecurity only breeds conflict.

Cory Sterling is a lawyer, owner of Conscious Counsel law firm, author and yoga teacher. He joins Nathalie today from his new home in Brazil to discuss making law fun, helping people with yoga businesses avoid legal complications and the importance in building transparent relationships.
With his book, ‘The Yoga Law Book: Legal Essentials for Yoga Professionals,’ Cory wanted to help people in the yoga space have a greater awareness of the legalities of business. One of the main concepts he discusses in the book is the practice of shoshin, or having a beginner’s mind. At any moment you can stop and re-evaluate life and see things anew. You can choose to see things fresh, change perspectives and be present at any time.
This leads Cory to discuss relationships. In life and business, relationships are everything. By having strong, transparent relationships you are creating and opening lines of communication and building trust. This allows both sides to have aligned expectations.
Practicing what he has named heart-leading law, Cory tells us the origin of his philosophy and how he brought his message to a wider audience through speaking at Wanderlust in Hawaii. This led to opening his own practice and allowed him the privilege of being able to choose his clients.
To finish the episode, Cory and Nathalie talk about Conscious Counsel and Cory’s mission to make law a more fun and accessible medium. Try and be appreciative in the moment, be present and be conscious.

Daria is a long-time friend of Nathalie as well as a yoga and meditation teacher who recently traveled to India for a 10-day Vipassana - meditation retreat.
In today’s episode, she will share her monumental experiences with us. After the conversation, Daria treats us to a special 30-minute Vipassana meditation session.
Daria explains why she felt called to travel to India, specifically to the Dalai Lama’s hometown, to expand on her yoga and spiritual teachings. We hear about how temporarily giving up all of her belongings at the temple helped her to truly reconnect with herself. Given Daria’s Russian background, she tells us how she began to get into yoga in Russia as a teenager and what sparked her future calling.
Nathalie dives into common questions asked by newbie meditators, so Daria gives us her answers and advice.
The 30-minute meditation will include three main steps: breathing exercises, primary meditation, and a metta (wishes for welfare and happiness) practice.
Find a quiet, relaxing space where you can sit undisturbed and find a position you will be comfortable in for the full half-hour meditation.
Refresh, replenish, and relax your mind and body alongside Daria.

Chioma Njoku is a successful financial coach and yoga teacher based out of Chicago, Illinois who is all about mindset, spirituality, and of course, money. She currently works with individuals and is looking to expand into working with groups in the future. Chioma tells us her background and how she went from the world of corporate accounting into fully embracing the power and spirituality of being a yoga teacher.
Limited beliefs are a huge factor for many people when it comes to finances. Chioma discusses how she broke through her own limited beliefs and now manifests money on a daily basis.
Furthermore, Chioma helps others to achieve the same by challenging their own beliefs and discovering their “money story.” Surrounding yourself with people who share the same financial views and goals as you can help reinforce your positive money vibes.
Seasons have a purpose and signify regrowth. Nathalie asks how someone that is struggling to find their value can get clear on their purpose, and Chioma shares her tips and insights. The topic of money should be more normalized and we should be comfortable enough to talk about it as though it’s not a big deal. “Master Your Money” is Chioma’s masterclass that combines mindset and skillset to bring some peace around finances to help you to enjoy your life and hard-earned money.

Adam James is an artist, poet, singer, healer and yogi based in Austin, Texas. He joins Nathalie today to talk about his creative journey, what yoga means to him and the impacts of COVID-19.
Adam shares his new song ‘Awaken’ with us. Adam has written ‘Awaken’ to honor the divine Mother Earth and our connection to her.
Yoga is a way to increase comfort and grounding in his own body and to deepen his connection with nature. With yoga we can unify and integrate all planes of our existence for greater harmony.
With the world on lockdown due to COVID-19, Adam is taking advantage of the time to learn and grow. Now is the time to move yourself to the next level of whatever journey you are on. Adam then shares a poem with us titled ‘Obvious’ that expresses the experience of something transcendental and the need to ground yourself in nature instead of worshiping technology.
With a pandemic covering the globe it is more important now than ever to take care of your body and mind. Navigating the landscape of information is essential to know who is looking out for your best interests. It is time to allow for individual sovereignty and make way for the world to have more quality people. Understand that you are already perfect.

Have you ever wondered if you are an emotional eater? Many of us run to food as a crutch. In this episode we will explore the many levels on which emotional eating can show up in your life.
Jessica Procini is a nutritionist and a life coach. She joins Nathalie today to talk about the struggles of emotional eating, identifying its roots, and immune-boosting tips to follow during COVID-19.
Jessica had always struggled in her relationship with food without knowing the reason why. For 20 years she emotionally ate, even while going through nutritionist school, until she identified herself as an emotional eater. Jessica discusses how, after 10 years of research, she has overcome her issues with food and formed a proven method for others to deal with emotional eating.
Many people, like Jessica, have issues surrounding food and often don’t know why. We’ve all tried diet and exercise plans that don’t stick or just plain don’t work. Jessica discusses the 4 roots of emotional eating, and how identifying what and why we are eating can help build a foundation of understanding, and can lead you to see how your relationship with food echoes other relationships in your life.
With stress at an all time high for many people right now, there is no better time for introspection and discovery. Taking those first steps into change is always difficult, but now is the time to let go of your food guilt and plan for a healthier tomorrow.
Be Well! Stay Healthy!

Denise Milfort is a model, actress, and wellness expert. She joins us for a third time in this episode where she and Nathalie discuss strengthening your immune system, dealing with COVID-19, and making healthy choices.
Denise almost never gets sick, which she credits to her strong immune system from a proper diet and self-care. She finds that cloves and blackseed oil are very helpful for your upper respiratory system. It is important that you believe these things will help you because even if it is the placebo effect, it is a very strong effect.
We are all dealing with the effects of social isolation due to COVID-19. Denise shares her feelings on being isolated and how she overcame her negative thoughts. You have to accept the situation for what it is and focus on harvesting the good, as there is always good in any situation. During this time, you can work on improving yourself and your relationships. If you have a partner, find a new connection with them. If you are single, it is a good time to go within yourself.
This is the perfect time to make healthy choices because we have all the time in the world. Spend more time on your meals, make things at home that you normally wouldn’t, and make them healthier. Now more than ever it is important for us to eat healthy.

Joan Hyman, world class yoga retreat leader, yoga teacher, and teacher trainer joins us today. Joan has been practicing yoga for over 25 years, starting as a group teacher and moving on to teacher training. She and Nathalie discuss her jump into traveling the world, how she keeps herself inspired, as well as Joan’s perspective on current events.
Joan started teaching yoga in LA but now teaches all over the world. She discusses how her first trip to India planted the travel seed within her and introduced her to a very international network. Joan explains how she feels like her soul expands when she is in an unknown place and the many benefits of travel.
Burnout on the road is a very real thing. Many people want to “bring their house with them to India,'' Joan explains, but there is a humbleness in India not felt in Western culture she believes everyone can learn from. Nathalie and Joan discuss the importance of adapting to a local culture and how Joan is able to keep herself inspired when travel becomes difficult.
Nathalie and Joan discuss the current state of the world with regards to COVID-19. Many people have experienced a loss of work from the virus and each of us has a responsibility to stay healthy and not spread sickness.

She has created Water Tiger, a community where she shares monthly healing techniques and gives her guidance on your personal journey to self-realization. Water Tiger allows you to fall in love with yourself on your own solo journey.
Julie shares how she began her journey to where she is now many years ago. She talks about the importance of cultivating love for yourself before you are able to properly give that love to others. Lots of us think we have good spiritual ideals, but until we have really met ourselves, we don’t have that capacity to help one another.
We all experience hardship on our journeys. Julie sees these hardships as Sacred Moments, and whether it be a death, illness, financial trouble, or anything in between, Julie shares how important these moments are in realizing who you are and what your journey is. There is no one way to enlightenment.

Today’s guest is Annie Carpenter. She is a pioneer in the yoga world and was also a professional dancer. She is a mentor and teacher to Nathalie along with many other teachers around the world. Annie is known to be the teacher of teachers.
Annie shines some light on her background, telling us that going to a rehabilitation center after falling into recreational drugs ignited her passion for yoga. She describes that while working as a professional dancer in New York City, yoga was her way to relax; she wouldn’t have been able to work without it. Annie was a student of the late Martha Graham and danced for her internationally acclaimed company.
Nathalie feels that the importance of the yoga teacher is becoming lost as yoga evolves. Annie believes that it’s difficult to have perspective on self, no matter what we are doing. We then hear about Annie’s teaching style.
Annie has been with her partner for fifteen years and talks about why she thinks her relationship has worked. She says that a big piece of it is supporting each other’s passion.

Elite athlete Joshua Stevens is alongside Nathalie in this episode, he is a professional mountain ultra trail runner based in Colorado. He is the Badwater Cup Champion, and even completed two Badwater events within thirty days of each other. Additionally, Joshua is a retiree from the Unites States Army after undertaking many deployments.
Joshua takes us back to 1989 when he joined the army while still in high school. He says that because he had been so self-sufficient before joining, he threw everything he had into the army. Joshua then takes us through some of his challenges, including the first soldier that died under his watch and overcoming medically prescribed opioid.
After being told he would never run again due to breaking his neck twice, Joshua was determined to heal. We hear about how he found treatments for his pain on his own and why he no longer thinks of himself as someone who suffered these injuries.
To finish off today’s discussion, Joshua informs us of his upcoming race plans and some things he is doing for the environment in Colorado. He also talks about his diet plays into his success.

Today’s guest is John Joseph. He is the lead singer of Cro-Mags and Bloodclot, as well as the author of three books: The Evolution of a Cro-Magnon, Meat Is for Pussies, and The PMA Effect. He is a triathlete, leader in the plant-based movement, and long-time yogi.
John describes his rough upbringing in New York City, which involved drugs, fighting, and getting shot. The judicial system eventually offered him to either go to jail or to the Navy. He chose the Navy and he tells us that this really caused his life to begin its change.
Rastafarians taught John that when you eat an animal, you are ingesting every second of that animal’s pain. There are so many options today; eating animals is unnecessary. John instills that in yoga, you must do what the shastra says. We don’t change the shastra to suit our lifestyle, we change our lifestyle because it’s what the shastra tells us to do.
Though your path may not be the same on John’s, he believes that they can both be paths of goodness that help the world. We finish by hearing what John is working on for 2020.

As the year comes to completion it's important to take a moment to reflect and pause.
Take an inventory and evaluation of 2019 before stepping into 2020 fully and present.
In order to set intentions, it's important to release, let go of that which no longer serves you and create space for new energy so you can be the best version of yourself.
We are always learning and growing.
Let's close 2019 with golden keys or should I say diamond keys ? ;)
Here is a workshop I teach as a gift to you.
Take a moment of your day and journal on these questions I offer you - this is a great exercise for you to create new and fresh positive momentum for the new year and your success. Whether you journal, or simply sit quietly and take a moment to reflect on each of these questions is totally up to you. There is no right or wrong way to go through this workshop. Connect with your heart space and do what feels right to you in this moment. Take an inspired action.
However you decide to navigate these questions, it will be perfect and exactly what you need.
Happy New Year!!!
Much Love,

Lillian Savoie is an intuitive reading reiki healer who also does guided meditations and courses.
She joins us in this episode and says that her main role is to help people connect with their spirits in order to find their passion in life.
We have the power within ourselves to be our own healers. Still, Lillian says that this skill needs to be practiced regularly. She explains why many people are scared to begin energy healing and tells us that there is nothing to be afraid of. Energy healing gives us the ability to shift our moods, health, relationships, and more.
If we’re a spirit operating in a human body, then we need to support our spirit first. Lillian speaks to the need for a support system before giving us an example of the work that she does with angels.
This is a time of year when many people get some form of temporary sickness, and Lillian believes that this is a good thing. It is a purging of energy and is your body’s way of healing in the long-term. Your body is trying to teach you something by being sick, and Lillian shares her insight on these lessons.

Today we have an amazing guest in Patrick Sanderson who is a filmmaker, actor, and model, who lives in Los Angeles.
Having also spent a significant amount of time living in LA, Nathalie talks about how fun it was; she and Patrick haven’t experienced the typical negativity sometimes tied to the city.
This episode explores tools for navigation changes, as well as remaining authentic throughout your journey no matter what.
We talk about his new short film Unintentional Community, the experience of going through film school and participating in film festivals around the country and London.
Nathalie says that despite all the changes that Patrick’s life has gone though in the past several years, he remembers who he is. Patrick talks about a humbling experience that has contributed to this positive mindset that is very inspiring. This event allowed Patrick to see clearly and reset his life.
We discuss the amazingness of road trips and how he originally drove to California from Louisiana over three days with his dog and cat.
Patrick says it’s okay to not take ourselves too seriously all the time.
He then tells us the types of stories that he likes to write about and how his family inspires this creativity.

Joining us in this episode is Colin Hudon, the founder of Living Tea. Nathalie has a deep love for tea practice and meditation with tea, and Living Tea is where she gets most of her teas from. In this episode, we’ll explore tea ceremonies, mindful living, nature, meditation, different types of teas, subtle body energies, and how you can start your own tea practice.
Tea as a way of life and tradition is something that is usually not understood in the West, and it is just beginning to make its way into the Western consciousness. Colin educates us about how tea is related to the study of nature and what makes tea a way of life.
Colin believes that tea is a wonderful way to start your day because it brings calmness and focus. He takes us through his morning routine, including what types of tea he prefers to drink when preparing for the day. He also talks about different types of meditation.
There is definitely a place for scientific studies on tea, but Colin says that a scientific study devoid of connecting with the spirit of tea will lead to tea snobbery. However, if you begin your tea journey in a simple way that is about modesty, connection, and meditation, you won’t run that risk.

Colin’s full bio:
Owner and founder Colin Hudon developed Living Tea through his lifelong immersion
in Tea and Tao. As an herbalist, acupuncturist, and practitioner of Traditional Chinese
Medicine, he discovered through the Tea ceremony a means of sharing the extraordinary
depth of these Oriental Traditions in the West. In Taoist herbalism, Tea is considered a
"shen" or spirit tonic through its ability to calm the mind, open the heart, remove energetic
stagnation and connect us with Nature. However, the western world has learned of Tea only
as a beverage grown from small bushes on plantations, rather than large, old-growth trees in
wild forests containing such powerful properties. With a strong wish to learn more about
formal Tea ceremony and the traditions from which the Teaceremony emerged, Colin
travelled to Asia in 2010 in "search of Tea." After many months of travel, he discovered
a living tradition in Taiwan. Following the cultivation and craft of Cha Tao, he sought to
offer Tea to others as a form of moving meditation and living art. Thousands
offer Tea to others as a form of moving meditation and living art. Thousands
of tea ceremonies later, Living Teacontinues to share this way, these old-growth trees and
this ancient tradition with you.
Qualities That Define a Living Tea:
Seed-Propagation
Room to Grow
Biodiversity
Chemical Free
No Irrigation
Healthy Relationships Between All Involved
Living Tea hosts tea ceremonies every week in Telluride, Colorado. Please refer to
the Valley Floor Tearoom page to reserve spots for the weekly
ceremonies. Living Tea is also available in Colorado for private ceremonies and
larger events. Further, we have friends (AYAM) hosting regular ceremonies,
workshops and classes in Los Angeles, where Living Tea found its roots in 2010.
We make trips to Taiwan and China throughout the year to source the best tea and
teaware we can find. We also work very closely with a dear friend and teamaster in
Taiwan who helps guide the evolving collective of our tradition. May we share a
steaming bowl together soon in this Life of Tea.
Kristin Ritter is our guest in this episode. She is the author of Spiraling to Wellness and the Founder of Nourishing Storm Studio & Café in Pennsylvania. Kristin recently contributed to the Shanti Yoga Training School, providing a wonderful presentation.
The first topic we get into with Kristin is transforming obstacles. She is sure that everyone has an obstacle or two on their mind, but they are part of life. Fortunately, we have the ability to change them. Kristin recalls how she first got involved with yoga.
Kristin talks about some difficulties she had when opening her café and describes the moment when she realized she had to fight for it. During this process, she discovered that the details of this stressful time didn’t matter.
Nathalie says that we have to allow people to have their own soul evolution. This means there might be a point where you don’t want to be around somebody in your life that you still love. Kristin finishes with advice for those who are having trouble meditating.

Today we invite you into our Shanti Yoga Training School, as we dive into one of the many concepts of yoga philosophy and how it affects our life. Nathalie teaches weekly zoom sessions to yoga students and teachers across the Globe, today you are our guest. Welcome to our training school.
Tapas is a big concept in yoga. Often translated as the “fire that burns within,” the discipline of tapas is one aspect that really resonates with Nathalie. She explains how the concept of tapas has assisted her through tough times.
The fact that we are alive, have a human body, have a consciousness, and have an awareness is quite a miracle. We should never take it for granted; it should always be treated as a gift. Nathalie says that when you see life in this way, you begin to be very grateful for everything that you are.
We all know somebody, or have been that person, who is never happy. They say they want something, they get it, but it’s not good enough. Nathalie reveals what to do if you’re in this mindset, including living in the present moment. Joy is a feeling that we can only have in the now.
Today Nathalie asks, what is it that’s holding you back? It’s time to rise above and move forward through the fire of your life. Sometimes our biggest failures are out biggest teachers, so surrender to the discomfort. You will come out as a better person.

This episode brings the seven-episode series about chakras to a conclusion.
Brooke Baudot returns again to provide her expertise on Sahasrara, otherwise known as the crown chakra.
Sahasrara is the lotus of one thousand petals.
We each have a lotus flower that is unique to us, and it is the essence of who we are. Nathalie says that a helpful meditation practice is to close your eyes and begin to imagine your lotus flower.
Journaling questions about your unique lotus flower:
How does it look? How does it feel? This flower is continuously evolving.
Brooke reads the balance characteristics of this chakra, and Nathalie jumps in to stress how important the ability to question is. The two then discuss why finding a connection is crucial, no matter how you refer to it.
When you tap into a frequency that is so clearly tied to the seventh chakra, you can allow other people to participate in it. If you have access to this type of frequency, it is your duty to share it with others. This is what Nathalie has devoted her life to.

It is said that if you can see it with your mind's eye, you can manifest it.
In today’s episode, Brooke Baudot returns for the sixth in a seven-episode series about chakras. The chakra this time is Ajna, otherwise known as the third eye chakra. Before diving in, Nathalie provides updates on her book and some exciting events on the horizon.
Nathalie first gives an overview of this chakra, including its location, element, and color. Brooke adds that with a balanced third eye chakra you would be very intuitive, imaginative, perceptive, and have a good memory. She also goes into the traumas and abuses of the chakra.
Brooke reveals an exercise that she encourages people to do during her chakra meditations that creates connection. Nathalie discusses the difficulty that some people have in discovering these chakras within themselves.
We learn about foods that are great for fostering a healthy third eye chakra, and then Brooke states some affirmations. With affirmations like these and other healing practices, you can deeply connect with Ajna.

Kelly says that she helps women heal from past experiences and reconnect to their feminine power. This empowers women to live while fully expressing who they really are. This involves a lot of subconscious work.
Remember, you are worthy just by existing. No matter what you have been through in life, it has all been serving you. When you decide what your life is going to be, that’s when you make the biggest shift. Kelly ends by discussing the callings that we need to follow.

In this episode, Michael Harris joins us to talk about an array of topics. Michael recently interviewed Nathalie on his own show, and because Nathalie still has a lot of questions and wanted to share his story with her community, she invited him to Life on Earth.
Michael began doing yoga in 1987 when he had a disease for which doctors were considering the amputation of both his legs. He talks about the improvements that he quickly saw from doing yoga and things he struggled with at first.
Just before starting seventh grade, Michael spent ten days in a coma. This completely changed his life, and he pursued ways to numb himself at the time. He explains that all of these health concerns manifested themselves into Michael writing his first book.
Michael has seen people reverse all kinds of diseases within a month of starting yoga. Nathalie adds in her thoughts on plant-based diets as well and the negative energy that comes with eating meat.

Brooke Baudot returns to LIFE ON EARTH PODCAST, today together with Nathalie they explore the fourth of seven-episode series about chakras.
Anahata, the heart chakra, is today’s focus. Associated with the color green and the element of air, it shows that the heart is such a beautiful and energetic place.
The heart is a space of true expansion. We will discuss the many ways to navigate these energies.
Nathalie and Brooke share the duties in giving us the characteristics of the fourth chakra, including some of the traumas and abuses. To overcome these, we learn about healing practices.
The heart space invites us to have a relationship with all beings. Trees, animals, our neighbours; all of them require respect and balance. Brooke expresses her thoughts on the importance of healthy boundaries, and Nathalie speaks to boundaries in families.
There is an endless amount of love, infinite possibilities.
If you feel heartache towards someone, just remember that you don’t want to be around someone who doesn’t want to be around you. The best thing you can do is let them go.

We Welcome Laura Richer and her her insightful knowledge.
She is a certified hypnotherapist and regression therapist who does women’s retreats, workshops, and life coaching. She practices in Seattle as well as online.
Laura says that people often have a misconception about what hypnosis is and how it is used in therapy. She explains that hypnosis can also be referred to as the state of being in a trance and talks about how we actually go in and out of trances on our own all the time.
Similar to yoga, there are many different types of hypnotherapy. Laura points out the differences between the two main types: suggestion and client-centered. Because Laura chooses to only practice client-centered hypnotherapy, she discusses its advantages.
Laura has an amazing online program that teaches women of all ages to navigate the challenges of modern dating.
We talk about online dating, creating healthy boundaries, true love, self love and much more.

Welcome! Today you are going to .....
Face Your Fears.
Nathalie is excited to provide some insights that she has gathered on this topic over the past few months. Before beginning, she alludes to some forthcoming episodes that she is looking forward to sharing.
We hear about Nathalie’s recent trip to Colorado and how she has learned to face her fears there.
We all have things that make us uncomfortable, and Nathalie speaks to why it’s important to conquer them. Facing your fears brings excitement into your life.
A question that’s important to ask is, “what is your life’s work?” Nathalie suggests we write a mission statement for our life.
When we conquer our fears, we create a drive in our lives.
When we have a drive we don’t, we’ll loose momentum.
Do not be captive to your fears.
Nathalie discusses different fears that people have, and from her perspective advice for overcoming them.
In this episode Nathalie gives us a challenge and talks about her new book!

We all have our own brand.
It’s so far beyond just, for example, a logo. From Nathalie’s perspective, your brand is an expression and an extension of who you truly are, and that’s what this episode is about.
Hopefully, you have chosen your brand, and it has not chosen you; you are not riding along on a belief system that you have agreed to but is not yours.
In this episode Nathalie goes through ways that we can create from our own self, and while some of those methods may not always be comfortable, they will remove unnecessary energies that are around us. This allows us to get closer to our true self.
Once we do find the connection with who we are and discover what we want to share with the world, Nathalie encourages us to do just that.
We also hear about how relationships can change when we are finding out best self.

Your Are Your Authentic Brand by Nathalie Croix
I could tell you to look at others in your field and see what they are doing... I've heard this many times before.
I just don't believe in that.
Not only I have never looked at what other yoga studios are doing, I always went as far as not wanting to know. Not wanting our studio staff to tell me during teachers meetings etc...
The reason behind this is because I feel I am here on this planet to share from my own unique experience.
I want to be me.
As Oscar Wilde says " Be yourself; everyone else is taken."
You are unique and we need you exactly as you are.
How would you feel if everything was red in the world?
Boring.
Thank God, we have many colors ! Yay
That's your brand.
Your brand is you.
Everyday you express your brand. With the words you use, the clothes you wear, the colors you choose.
Your social media is an extension of you.
Journal on these questions and ask yourself while creating your brand / logo / website, etc...
Who Am I ?
What are my favorite colors?
Favorite yoga practice ?
On the mat?
Off the mat?
What is your legacy?
What do you want to say to the world?
Who are the top three people who most inspire me from any walks of life ?
Why do they inspire me ?
Inspiration is very different than wanting to find out what a competitive business is doing so you can duplicate.
.... which many people do just that.
It's just not my way.
I disagree with that way, because It will not feel authentic.
I am here to ask you to think outside the box.
Authenticity is the most important because it is at the heart of your Soul.
Inspiration can lead you to who you are.
I believe the reason why we get inspired by some is because, they, or " it " are representing a version of ourselves and by seeing this in someone else or something else it is simply a reminder of who you are.
Like going back to source, soul family.
Here are some journaling questions for you....
What lights up your day?
What words better represent you?
Remember your favorite day on Planet Earth , how did that feel to you?
Can you go back to that feeling?
Create from that sacred space.
Create more scared places, experiences in your life.
Every day gives you the opportunity to discover yourself.
Use all of the above and create from this place of authenticity -
You will find your brand !
Once you do, please do us all a favor and share it with the world.
You will inspire others to become a better version of themselves.
Remember the world needs you exactly as you are.
Stay open to new ideas, stay open to growth.
As time passes your brand may change, evolve or even transform into A NEW YOU.
I have seen this many times.
Embrace it.
The only constant is change.
The people in your life who love you will allow you to become who you are at every moment in life, even if that means they have to set you free.
Not free in a way that you don't honor your commitments - no, not like that.
Above all I am loyal to my commitments.
See the more you allow someone to be who they are, the better they will show up for you. Not only they will show up as a better version of themselves but they will cherish you more.
If they truly love you they will welcome the new you and overtime they will begin to understand you more and perhaps even be inspired by you.
Maybe, just maybe, you will remind them of something so special and precious deep inside them that has been lost.
How beautiful life can be when we allow flow in our lives and the lives of those we love.
When that happens, don't be afraid to show up to the world as the new you.
Be you.
Change your logo if that's what feels right.
Change it as many times as you need.
Keep your feet on the Earth, as you look up to the skies.
Daily Exercise :
Look at the mirror / look at yourself for ten seconds and say out loud " I Am Beautiful"
Let your light shine !
Today, Nathalie welcomes Brooke Baudot to the podcast for the first of a seven-episode series about chakras. The series begins with the Muladhara, or the root chakra.
Nathalie and Brooke chose to start with this chakra partly because it’s the first chakra that develops when we are born.
With so many ways to explain the chakras, Nathalie starts by asking Brooke how she would describe them. Nathalie gives a further explanation of what the purpose of chakras is and talks about how they regulate our energies and frequencies.
Nathalie and Brooke share the traits of Muladhara and symptoms that can be seen if there is a deficiency of this chakra. This ignites a discussion about affirmations, leading Brooke to read some of her favorite one. We also learn how to tell if we have a healthy first chakra.
The two also talk about ways to feel more connected to earth, such as earthing or simply having plants in your home. Nathalie teaches us that no matter what has happened, the past is the past, the future is not here, but what we have is right now.

Our beloved studio Shanti Yoga Shala is closing.
Now what?
Sonya Zhong, part of the Shanti Yoga team, joins Nathalie today. She is a graduate of Nathalie’s training, does research and a blog contributor for the brand, and runs digital advertising campaigns. She is very proactive and is able to contribute with her abundant creativity.
Nathalie opened her yoga studio in New Orleans about seven years ago. In this episode, Sonya announces that the studio will be closing for the time being because of a variety of reasons. Nathalie and Sonya’s main discussion point for today is how the changing market and practice of yoga affects yoga teachers and studio owners.
We hear about how the studio was essential for Nathalie’s transformation as a yoga teacher and as an individual. It was a space where he met so many people, including Sonya, who now feel like family. She then reflects on the transformations she has seen her studio bring to so many people’s lives.
We talk about surrendering, dedication and commitment.
In addition to talking about the factors that brought Nathalie to this decision, she also speaks to how she has found great fulfillment and success through her online program and workshops.
Nathalie provides detailed information about all of her offerings and how to get involved. This it not the end, it’s the beginning of new energy and new life!

Today we spend time with Henri Folse, an Ayurvedic health counselor. He looks at the foods that people are eating and helps them make incremental changes to improve their diet. Henri also helps people change the way that they eat, which he considers to be as important as what they eat.
Henri explains what eating Ayurvedically consists of and how it makes eating more sacred. We hear about what he goes over with patients who come to Henri for consultations that he offers both in his home and on Skype, beginning with an assessment of their eating and sleeping routines. Henri also explains the background of Ayurveda to help newcomers understand it and its relation to yoga.
We learn about the three different doshas which are integral in Ayurvedic medicine: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Henri says that these doshas can go out of balance within individuals and that Ayurvedic medicine is used to bring them back into balance. He then talks about how Vata, Pitta, and Kapha are based on the five elements.
Henri talks in-depth about his Ayurveda program and says that it is not about perfection, but about doing little things that will bring you more health, balance, and wellness in your life. Ayurveda is very practical, and Henri works hard to make it accessible to the people that go to him for help.

David Bianchi - Hollywood actor and spoken-word poet.
He has appeared in over 90 professional and independent films.
David speaks about being a multi-faceted artist and about his soon to be released book.
Nathalie & David met in third grade while attending Greengates School in Mexico city and later reconnected in Los Angeles, CA.
We hear about how David was born with the genetic coding to be the artist and that knowing this allows him to excel in life; he says that people who aren’t in touch with their genetic or molecular gift often tend to coast in life. David talks about the process of discovering this gift and refining it. He also shares his tough school life, including being expelled from six high schools.
David’s book will be titled Pursue, Reach, Attain, Retain, Repeat and carries a significant message in its title to which he provides insight. The book itself is about looking at the stages of how to pursue our molecular-level gift and use it continuously. David then answers how to find out what our gift is and talks about when he realized he needed to make major changes in his life.
David’s artistic mission is to effect people in a way that will leave them permanently changed. He wants to remind everyone that everything we need is within us. There’s nothing outside that will make us become wealthier and more spiritual people. It’s inside of us.

Retired Race Horse Project , Interested in adopting a retired race horse ? Listen to this episode with Julia Oughton with Emily Beatz
Listen to Ep 01: Julia Oughton, Program Developer of the Retired Racehorse Project from Off The Track Thoroughbred in Podcasts. https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-01-julia-oughton-program-developer-retired-racehorse/id1394275783?i=1000413018855&mt=2 The World Needs To Open Up - Behind The Scenes The Horse World
Horses are magical creatures, they show up in fairy tale story telling as unicorns, they are strong spirit animals and for many represent a dream and yet every year in the United States alone on an average seventy to eighty thousand horses are transported to Canada and Mexico for slaughter.
Have you ever wondered about horsemanship ? Horse ridding and barn culture? Why those of us who love it love it so much? Our special guest today, Kimberly Terrana will tell us all about horses and ridding.
Kimberly runs a rescue organization privately funded that has rescued fifty horses thus far. She is a horse trainer and has worked in the industry for many many years, since childhood. Her story is inspirational and full of passion.
" We have the responsibility to everyone around us, including our peers. Animals depend on us for everything, so we need to teach that in our homes. Our children are the future." - Kimberly Terrana
No animal is a throw away, if you have a gold fish see that animal's life through.Disposing it by flushing it down the toilet should never be an option.

Mardi Gras Parade Horses, Like My Horse Jazz, They Need A Forever Home
https://wgno.com/2018/02/13/clock-is-ticking-for-mardi-gras-parade-horses/ https://www.wideopenpets.com/former-mardi-gras-parade-horses-looking-homes-new-orleans/
Episode's Research
“The idea that some lives matter less is the root of all that is wrong with the world.” – Dr. Paul Farm
How old are horses on average when they retire?
- Some of the greatest Thoroughbred racehorses, including Seabiscuit and Man O' War, raced for only two years before retiring. Others, like 16-consecutive race winner Cigar, continued racing as a 5-year-old, but for the most part a horse's racing life will last perhaps three or four years.
How many horses die on racetracks because they’ve been drugged to perform past their limits?
- The New York Times found that 24 horses a week died at American tracks, a rate much greater than in countries where drug use for hoses is severely restricted.
How many bred Thoroughbreds make it to a race?
- Thousands of Thoroughbreds are bred for racing every year. Depending on the country, only 5% to 10% ever see a racecourse. What happens to the others? Unless they are lucky enough to find another career, they are disposed of, typically at a slaughterhouse (the USA ships horses to Canada for slaughter).
What can happen to a Thoroughbred after they retire?
- Champion racehorses are often retired early, becoming what’s known as a “stud horse.” When a former racehorse begins a second career as a stud horse, it means his owner gets paid for the horse to breed with mares, the goal being to potentially produce new race-winning foals. This can be extremely demanding for the stallion, who may need to perform multiple times a day, but can be very lucrative for the horse’s owners, who can earn thousands of dollars for just one visit.
- Some retired racehorses are lucky enough to be picked up by trainers or rescuers who put a lot of time and training into them to give them a new career. But most are not so lucky. Many will end up at auctions while some are sold directly to kill buyers or dealers. These horses will ship directly to slaughter with a very slim chance of being saved.
- In the United States, where horse slaughter was outlawed in 2007, an estimated 120,000 horses (Thoroughbreds and others) were exported to Canada for slaughter in 2009. In 2017, the number dropped to 78,857 horses slaughtered per year.
- In total, an estimated two-thirds of all Thoroughbred race horses are euthanized, slaughtered or abandoned once they're retired from racing.
What are some of the malpractices in the industry?
-
Drugging:
- There are many drugs that are given to horses against their will (since they don’t have a voice to make decisions or fight back) in order to mask their pain and keep them racing longer, even though it leads to faster, more traumatizing injuries - which when they surface will end the horse’s career and send them to the auction/slaughterhouse for their meat.
- Former Thoroughbred veterinarians say that the medications most often abused are pain-killers, anti-bleeding medications and anti-inflammatory drugs, including cortical steroids injected directly into joints
- The indiscriminate use of legal therapeutic drugs often “masks” injuries and can lead to fatal breakdowns during training or racing.
- Horses have been known to have as many as 750x the legal limit for painkillers in their legs.
-
Trained too young:
-
Horses don’t stop growing until they are six years old. The Kentucky Derby races three-year olds. Horses need about a year of training and then a year in which they are raced so they can qualify for the Derby. Do the math - this means they they are ridden at less than a year old!
- Yearlings are horribly juvenile, both in the mind and body. Training these horses much, much too early puts an undue amount of stress on their legs and ankles, which leads to breakdowns when they are young, and early lameness when they are older.
- The biggest issue is that the breeders don’t care. As long as the horse is fast for a short amount of time, they will continue to breed horses with physical defects and breeders will continue to race horses without any consideration for the horses’ welfare.
-
Nurse Mare Foals:
-
In this horrible, unconscionable practice, an expensive mare’s foal is taken from her and given to a “nurse mare” so she can be bred again immediately. For a mare to take a nurse foal, she must be bred so she will give milk. Her biological foal is then taken from her at approximately a week old, sometimes killed immediately, sometimes slowly starved to death so his hide can be used for leather.
-
In this practice:
- Two foals are being taken from their mothers within days of their births
- One foal is brutally, needlessly killed.
- The other foal is raised by a surrogate mother, who is constantly bred and has to go through the emotional pain of having her foal taken from her, year after year after year.
- The more “expensive” mare is bred over and over as well, which is very difficult on her physically. She also goes through the emotional turmoil of having her babies taken from her every single year.
- Using drugs to make sure they are born early in the year:
-
Every Thoroughbred horse in the Northern Hemisphere has the same birthday. No matter what month a Thoroughbred is born, its birthday falls on January 1. (The universal birthday is August 1 in the Southern Hemisphere.)
- This makes it easier to keep track of Thoroughbred horses' bloodlines; the rule was created by the organizations dedicated to regulating the Thoroughbred breed. It also makes it easier for racing purposes. Thoroughbred races aren't open to colts (male horses under age 5) and fillies (females under age 5) until age 2, and some races, like the famed Kentucky Derby, are only open to 3-year-olds.
- But this presents some problems. This means that a foal -- a newborn or nursing horse -- born on December 31 will turn one the following day. A 1-day-old 1-year-old won't have as much training and maturity and therefore won't compete as well against older horses that are considered the same age. As a result, horse buyers tend to shy away from horses born late in the year, which in turn means that horse breeders do everything they can to ensure their foals are born in the first half of the year. This has led to interventions like drugs and the use of artificial light to keep the reins tight over Thoroughbred reproduction.
-
Whipped and isolated:
-
The horses are constantly whipped to keep them moving, and when not training/racing are kept confined and isolated up to 23 hours each day.
- For 2-year-olds that haven’t even run yet be euthanized in a dirt pit at the back of the racetrack because somebody trained them too hard, medicated them too much, pushed them too far.”
How can you personally help?
- Do not support the horse racing industry in any way, shape or form. Educate yourself and others about the treatment of horses used for entertainment purposes. Support your local rescues and sanctuaries. If you are in the position, attend an auction and help save the unwanted horses before they end up in the hands of a kill buyer and ultimately on the trailer heading to slaughter.
What else can we do about it?
- Separate the Jockey Club from the Thoroughbred Registry
-
Require Medical Records to Follow the Horse
- Right now, a horse can be diagnosed with a devastating injury but the owners can sell the horse to a new owner without disclosing any information. The horse can be raced or made to compete with an injury that can cause permanent lameness.
- This situation is horrible for the horse and for the new owners who now have a lame horse. The horse often ends up at auction, which is the slaughter pipeline.
- Drug Test Every Horse, Every Race
- Register Every Horse
- End the Practice of Nurse Mare Foals
Today’s guest is Melanie Fawer, an ashtanga yoga teacher who is certified by Pattabhi Jois. We hear about how her first trip to India made her fall in love with yoga, in part due to the differences she saw in it there compared to the US. That first trip to India was in 1994, so we discuss the changes that Melanie has seen in yoga since then.
Melanie teaches Mysore style yoga. She shares with us why it is so special to her and what exactly makes it unique. She continues to be impressed at how genius the style is. Then, we learn about the usefulness of led classes and other inspirations that Melanie draws from. Because ashtanga classes are sometimes taught incorrectly, we hear about this causing some people to falsely dislike it. A proper class takes a lot of observation from the teacher.
Only internally can we truly know when the next level of evolution needs to happen, which causes Melanie to share how we can find our true potential. It’s important to have a support group, but Melanie feels like she hasn’t had that foundation until about five years ago. Related to this, she offers advice on what to do on the days that feel gloomy.
An important aspect of Mysore style is connecting with one teacher; going to different studios and teachers may lead to selling yourself short. Melanie discusses this and points out what to keep in mind when starting Mysore style yoga.

Peace For Our Beloved Planet
Nathalie Croix
Keeping in touch with nature seems easy enough- take a walk outside, admire the stars at night, wake up and enjoy sunrise yoga. So why do so many of us disregard the enjoyment our planet provides. Taking care of and nourishing our Earth is the best way to manage and continue our relationship.
Have you ever heard of Nature deficit disorder?
Our guest today is Aimée Thomas a Professor of Biological Sciences at Loyola University in New Orleans. We discuss spiders, Natural History, the Galápagos Island and getting in touch with nature. Aimée has spent the past year exploring the flora and fauna within New Orleans City Park which covers over 1,300 acres. She also talks about how she learned to have a relationship with the outside from a young age.
We also discuss the importance of yoga and the latest Golden Sunrise Retreat. Our connection to our mind, body and spirit healing is conveyed through yoga and is the totality of everything in nature. Our relationship with the world around us is important. Getting your mind right and you may become healthier with nature.
In this show we will answer a few questions, such as: Why is grounding necessary? Why do we need to take care of and pay attention to our environment? How can your imagination help you become interest in Science? How is Global Warming affecting us? What is EMF?

Navigating the dating world and relationships in general is difficult.
When you mix dating apps, other people’s opinions, your own expectations and anxieties it can be downright exhausting.
Loving, nourishing and investing in yourself is the best way to find a connection within and with others.
At the end of the day everyone wants to be connected; have you ever thought about what it takes to find that connection?
Our guest today is two-time guest Denise Milfort; an actress from Port au Prince, Haiti, now residing in California. We discuss love, life, friendships, marriage and dating. There are many reservations when you put something out into the world- you must think will my frequency and response be the same next year? Five years from now? Ten years?
You must be open to change in your relationships.
Relationships can succeed when you set expectations, are true to yourself and are your own beloved. If you are alone and want connection or to erase boredom/loneliness- you need to get out and make the effort. We must all find the balance. A great psychologist to gain information from is Pat Allen she works with masculine and feminine energy in relationships and life. Learning fluidity in relationships.
In this show we will answer a few questions sent in from listeners.
Borderline abusive relationship what is my perspective? How to deal when someone completely rejects you? And, what’s your perspective on dating apps; feels like I am disposable and exhausted from everything?

There are many things that we should be doing to maintain a happy and healthy life. Knowing our self-worth, believing in healing power, and surrendering or letting go of issues we cannot change are a few. Our guest explains how obtaining these can lead you to an enlightened life.
Do you know that you alone can be the ultimate healer of your own body?
We have two guests today. First is Nicole, manager at the Space and Raw Republic. Our main guest is David Andrew Rodriguez, also known as the Water Magister. Nicole went to the Okeechobee fest in Florida this March and took an astral travel class with David. She explains the feelings and thoughts through this session.
David is a teacher of meditation, Ashtanga yoga, astral-projection, ritual, sigil magic and more. He also just published a book titled, “The Water Magister’s: Self-Discovery” which consists of his journey through journaling, “sponge-mode” and meditation to heal depression. David also tells us how poetry, channelings and using free-spoken word gave him a deeper understanding of his battle.
Learn about the importance of setting intentions. Also, how the power to manifest can bring you and your partner together. Why travelling through an out of body experience may be the means to acknowledge the shadow within ourselves and know what we need to protect ourselves from.

Everything has an energy field; all beings from humans to crystals. Many of us have busy lives with many stressors - we learn how crystals can draw from past experiences to help us in future situations.
Do you know how to utilize crystals to quiet our minds and souls?
Sarah Murray joins us today to talk about healing and therapy using crystals. Her company Pure Healing Insight based out of New Orleans, LA focuses on Crystal Energy Healing, Massage Therapy, Naturopathy, Astrology and much more. Sarah reminds us that we are much more than our physical body. She believes in the benefits of using crystals and shares how they have helped her and clients through various issues.
Why are crystals so special? Sarah explains they are a manifestation of the perfection of Earth. They are based on sacred geometry. Crystals also form according to a specific protocol. They are living beings and require water, minerals and heat. They also grow and disintegrate.
Learn about the importance of understanding your chakras and their relation to healing crystals. Why we as humans need to learn about our energetic balance to the universe.

Many of us have adjusted our diets to eat clean, healthy food, but what about the water we drink?
The human body is mainly comprised of water, so shouldn’t we be drinking the best water available?
Gail Brown joins us today to talk all about alkaline water. She and her husband sell alkaline water and purifiers through their business, Ion Alkaline Water. They are true believers in its benefits, based on results from their own lives. Gail battled cancer twice and was told she only had a 2% chance of surviving. Her husband suffered severe gout. Both are living well now and greatly attribute this to alkaline water.
Learn about the downsides of tap and traditional bottled water, why pure alkaline water is important for humans, and other suggested benefits of alkaline water!

Dr. Rebecca Hutchings, owner of Live Oak Yoga, teaches both adult and kid yoga. Her primary focus is vinyasa flow, with an emphasis on breath work and injury prevention. Rebecca guides her students through their practice with clear instructions, intelligent sequencing, and hands-on adjustments. She encourages her students to enjoy the physical challenges of yoga, play with personal limits, and find a quiet mind. Rebecca was born and raised in Berkeley, California. She discovered yoga while studying medicine in Manhattan, and has now been practicing for 20 years. In her travels she has been able to study Aryuvedic medicine, as well as yoga at Kasturba Medical College in Manipal, India. Although Rebecca practices traditional western medicine, she believes that adding alternative therapies can be quite beneficial for some of her patients. She completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training with Annie Carpenter's SmartFLOW school at Shanti Shala. Off the mat, Rebecca is a wife, the mother of two lively children, a dog lover, runner, and an Emergency Medicine physician.
In this special episode, Dr. Rebecca Hutchings gives a presentation on meditation, delving into the benefits of meditation and the underlying physiology to explain these benefits.
Most of us understand and feel the benefits of meditation, but being able to see scientific evidence based on research is an amazing thing, and Dr. Hutchings is here to do that!
Rebecca is both a doctor and a yoga teacher, she has collected research from numerous studies and presents this information today. From heart and brain health to weight loss and mood, you may be surprised to learn about some of the many benefits associated with meditation!

Walking is so simple that we can easily forget just how beneficial it is! Avery Werther joins us today to remind you of the amazing benefits that walking provides and give some tips on how to walk for maximum benefit.
Walking can improve mood, reduce health risks, boost memory, and much more! With our busy lives, it may seem that we simply don’t have the time to walk, but it doesn’t take long. Also, the benefits of walking include being more productive, so you may actually end up with more time because you set aside 30 minutes to walk!
To get the most out of walking, Avery recommends power walking. She’ll explain what power walking is, how to do it, how fast you should power walk, the calories you can walk, and more.
What are you waiting for? Podcasts make great company for walking! Download this episode, get outdoors, and let’s get walking!

Angela Kukhahn joins Nathalie for a discussion all about yoga! Yoga lovers, especially teachers, will not want to miss this one. Nathalie and Angela talk about being a yoga teacher, tools and techniques developed along the way, and more.
As yogis and yoga teachers, we’re always growing and evolving. Our views on what was right at one point in time can easily change, and often do, over the years.
Angela shares what inspires her to inspire others while teaching and how to address the individual in a group setting.
We hear about the use of props like blocks, belts, and blankets. Props bring many benefits, although some people have concerns about their use. Is it right to want to stick with some yoga traditions from the past, or is it okay to evolve and accept the use of props?
Social media provides great opportunities to connect and share information. Angela tells us about the growth of her Instagram account to over 80,000 followers, the dedication involved with running such an account, and even how to deal with periodic negative comments.
Everybody is on their own spiritual journey, as yoga teachers, we can only share our own experiences and aim to create the best scenario possible for students to experience their own journey.

For most of our lives, we’re taught that we need something outside of ourselves in order to feel whole and complete. But, the thing is, in this moment, all of our needs are met.
Preston Smiles joins Nathalie to talk about this, and more advice for living happily. Learn how to break down the walls to being yourself. Nobody should be holding you back. Discover the truth of your being.
Preston also challenges the idea that we all have to find just one “thing” to do for our entire lives, discusses the reasons why he thinks men should show emotion rather than repressing, and we learn about the primal benefits of doing activities like dancing, yoga, or even just screaming. They all help to dissipate negative energy, something that many of us don’t even realize needs to be done!
In a culture where we are taught and many times programed that men don't cry or are allowed to express deep feelings and emotions - Preston challenges us to a new belief system and new paradimes - not from a place of him telling us who or what to be, but from encouraging us to be exactly who we are today.
How do we do that? Tune in to this episode for many inspirational tools and live your most authentic life.

Get enlightened by this thoughtful conversation between Nathalie and WudDe Tea Master from Global Tea Hut.
Along with an in-depth discussion about tea's effects, brewing methods, and advice for beginners getting into tea, we hear a deep conversation about nature.
Are we losing our ability to communicate non-verbally in the present day?
Can tea help us change that and learn from the world around us?
WuDe also shares information about courses taking place at Tea Sage Hut in Taiwan, what it's like being a part of Global Tea Hut, and how you can get involved.

While Christmas is a joyous time for many, it can also be a sad time, particularly for those who have experienced loss. We’ve all experienced loss, some more recently than others, and Christmas can bring on memories and feelings of sadness.
This episode, Nathalie speaks with Brooke Baudot about life and death, advice for grieving, and dealing with loss. In the western world, we seem to have a much harder time dealing with the transition than in other cultures. We never know how much time we have left ourselves, or how much time we have with others. Although it may be difficult to understand why bad things happen, we all have a purpose on this planet, and you may understand one day.
Also in this show, you’ll hear a bit about Brooke’s journey opening her own yoga studio and air plant business, near-death experiences, dreams, and a question about animals being drawn to meditation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se12y9hSOM0 - Although interesting stuff - Disclaimer : I do not believe all tap water are good for you. I myself choose bottle and glass bottle ( as much as possible) - consult your city for information on tap water and see if is safe to drink. Clean water is highly important and assists with optimal health.
Have a wonderful day LIFE ON EARTH COMMUNITY!

Following the heartbreaking violence in Las Vegas, Nathalie and Chris Galliano contribute to the ongoing conversation about dealing with these types of incidents. In our hyper-sensitized society, it can be too easy to mourn for a few days until the next distraction comes along. However, this means that the underlying issues are never really addressed.
Chris, who has spent time in the military, offers his perspective on gun violence and the 2nd amendment, and Nathalie speaks to the spiritual perspective. While Himsa means violence, Ahimsa is non-violence, and is the first and foremost of the five Yamas practiced in yoga.
The goal of this conversation is to bring attention to violence, as a step towards making the world a more loving place. How are you contributing to the situation on our planet?

What The Health Documentary
Healer, wellness consultant, licensed acupuncturist, and eastern medicine woman are just some of the many titles taken by Noell Eanes.
Nathalie and Noell begin by discussing how it’s more common these days to have a wide skillset, rather than a single job title. Noell is great proof of that, and she tells us about her background which entails Shakuju Therapy, acupuncture, meditation, and much more.
From this episode, you’ll discover the importance of finding balance and being present in life. We’re all the same, no matter how much money we have. Balance and being grounded is key, and we should all be able to achieve it. Noell explains this using yin and yang from Chinese philosophy. Learn to let go of what isn’t important and enjoy the moment. Balance also applies to relationships in terms of masculine and feminine energy.
Noell tells us about forest bathing, a practice in Japan that promotes health benefits from taking a walk in the woods, and then we round out this episode by tuning into the energies of the full moon.

Manifesting friendships, animals, nature, pregnancy and natural childbirth are the themes in this episode of Life On Earth. Nathalie is joined by Emily Cadenhead. We hear how the two became friends and Emily’s experience as a clothing designer.
At the time of recording, Emily was expecting that her second child would be born very soon! She explains that, for this child, they had a birth blessing rather than a traditional baby shower. For the second time, Emily is giving birth at home. The two chat about why they prefer this method using doula and midwife rather than a hospital birth. Emily also shares some insight about why nature has associated pain with a beautiful thing like childbirth and believes the answer lies in the profound feeling she had after giving birth.
Nathalie and Emily discuss how humans and animals are sharing the Earth, and discuss how to live peacefully, even with animals that may pose a threat. Emily shares a tragic story of losing pets to coyotes and tells us about how she handled running into rattlesnakes.
To round out the show, Emily shares her favorite hiking spots, and the two discuss how much they value a peaceful morning ritual.

Quotes:
“True yoga is not about the shape of your body, but the shape of your life. Yoga is not to be performed; yoga is to be lived. Yoga doesn’t care about what you have been; yoga cares about the person you are becoming. Yoga is designed for a vast and profound purpose, and for it to be truly called yoga, its essence must be embodied.” - Aadil Palkhivala, Fire of Love
There is a vitality, a life-force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open... No artist is pleased. [There is] no satisfaction whatsoever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others." - Martha Graham
About Our Shanti Yoga Teacher Training School :
Here is one testimonial from one of our teacher training graduates who is now teaching yoga all over the Globe :)
" My experience at Shanti Yoga Shala is very difficult to put into words because it literally changed my life. First of all, the way the opportunity to come train at the Shala was the perfect way to start what would be a beautiful journey. I was looking for teacher trainings in the New Orleans area and I happened to come across a Vinyasa Teacher Training. which was exactly what I was looking for. At the moment I was in Panama (where I am from) and I immediately called Nathalie to book a spot and the training happened to be full. Luckily for me we had an immediate connection (over the phone!!) and she promised that if someone cancelled she would call me right away and because the Universe works in wonderful ways that is exactly what happened next. The day she called to let me know someone had cancelled was probably the happiest day of 2014!! After that things just got better. In a short period of 5 months my life changed. I had turned around the way I practiced, I had learned more than in the past 3 years of college, I was able to begin teaching in the beautiful space, and I became part of an amazing family , the Shanti Yoga Love Warriors. Nathalie and the whole Shanti Yoga Family are definitely a blessing and they were put in my way to help me grow and blossom. The Shala became my second home while I was in New Orleans and I miss it every single day. I recommend coming to practice here and I definitely recommend taking the Teacher Training if you wish to deepen your practice and/or teach. As I said before, my experience at Shanti changed my life and I am infinitely grateful
For this episode of Life On Earth, Nathalie is joined by the fascinating Chris Galliano. Chris tells us the story of how he ended up joining the military and talks about his time spent there, including working with dolphins who can find mines underwater. We hear about Chris’s time in Iraq and why he thinks it’s unlikely something like that will happen again. Nathalie shares her perspective on what it’s like to have a friend in the military and wondering if they’ll ever return home.
Getting into some deeper conversation, Nathalie and Chris talk about friends and family, religion, beliefs, life and death. The two share their love for New Orleans, its history, and the many events that take place there.
We hear about the benefits of meditation and stopping illnesses before they reach the physical body. Nathalie issues a simple challenge to smile at others with kindness and find something you love about them. Everything else fades away, leaving only peace and joy. The show concludes with talk about how we distract our minds with things like celebrity gossip and reality TV, how people are growing tired of it, and the benefits of focusing on something bigger.
