The yoga practice is a deeply spiritual, moving and healing practice. As yoga teachers, we have the privilege of holding the space in which this transformation takes place. Because it is a vulnerable place of reflection and excavation, our students might need support and guidance separately from the class.
But how to do it in a way that is safe and meaningful for our students and for ourselves?
This is what Christopher Perkins, co-founder of Yandara, and Yael Ginzburg spoke about. In this masterclass, they discussed intentionality in this space, tools and insights for supporting students on their path.

In this episode, Christopher Perkins, co-founder of Yandara, and Yael Ginzburg, our host, speak about the inevitable part of life which is death.

So many of us do.
We hold ourselves back from being who we really are, following our dreams and speaking our truth - not realizing that what we truly want, is meant for us.

On the fourth episode with Yandara co-founder Christopher Perkins, we decided to discuss the topic of balance between personal evolutions and self acceptance.

Christopher co-founded the Yandara Yoga Institute almost 20 years ago, and has trained many generations of yoga teachers from across the globe.

Living in the western world brings us many challenges. The Ego is tempting and the cultural norms lead us on a path that cherishes material wealth and outward appearances. Ultimately this way of being leads many people to suffering.
This week the wonderful Jacqueline Michelle and Govind Das spoke with our host Yael Ginzburg about a different path. The path of Yoga. The path of living with the divine at the center of our lives. Simply redefining success can lead us to understand that wealth is not material.
The yoga path can create space between the divine and the ego while using the ego to serve the heart and embrace our humanity.
They also spoke about cultivating our personal practice and a community in order to sustain our connection during day-to-day life, raising children in a spiritual family and more.

In the third episode with Christopher Perkins, co-founder and lead teacher of the Yandara Yoga Institute, he and our host Yael Ginzburg unpack a topic that is an important pillar of the yogic philosophy and our way of finding clarity in order to live in peace- the Kleshas. The Kleshas are the different causes of suffering in the human experience. By becoming aware of these obstructions we are able to recognize the moments of misperception that arise and choose our response accordingly.
They also speak about an integral part of the Yandara teacher training which is the Vision quest-
There are a few different layers to learning. There is learning that comes from information that we are given from teachers, and there is learning that we receive from finding enough silence to allow the knowledge to arise from within.
Here they present a practice that is meant to allow wisdom to arise.

In Hindu philosophy it is said that the Universe was created by Shiva, unmanifested consciousness and Shakti, manifested consciousness. In our reality we can find many, if not all aspects of life follow this same balance.
This week our host Yael Ginzburg speaks with Solana Prema and Rama Torres about the masculine and feminine aspects that we each have within us and especially within the structure of relationship.
There is a dance between taking time for ourselves to work on our inner world and working on the togetherness of relationship. Breaking out of the mold of what a man or woman ‘should be’ and letting our intention dictate our actions allows for conscious relating. Relating with each other while recognizing the line between compromising and staying true to ourselves. Also, recognizing the difference between facts and opinions. This allows us to bring the philosophies of yoga and conscious being into all aspects of life.
We also spoke about how to navigate a partnership where the partners are on different places on the path of inquiry.
Solana Prema Torres is a yoga and meditation teacher, breathwork facilitator, marriage and family therapist and holistic psychotherapist and coach.
Rama Torres is a yoga and meditation teacher, breathwork facilitator and conscious filmmaker.

We spoke about creating a conscious, intentional, inspired business and more importantly about the motivations behind creating it.
