![Freedom through Limitation with Insiya Rasiwala-Finn and Eoin Finn]()
November 16, 2020
“Yoga is a feeling, not just a shape.” So goes the mantra of Eoin Finn, founder of the yoga system Blissology. Today, we sit down with Eoin and his partner, Insiya Rasiwala-Finn, a Yoga, Ayurveda, and wellness expert. Here, we explore vital themes such as cultivating the habit of happiness, adopting a slower pace as a means to reconnect, and how to tackle our society's overwhelming trend towards disconnection.
In this episode, Insiya illustrates the healing power of Ayurveda, a means to live life in tune with nature. This ancient science teaches us that true freedom is only found through our limitations. We close this invigorating conversation with a look into how and why we continue to innovate the practice of yoga.

![Beyond Hierarchy with Namita Kulkarni]()
October 26, 2020
Today, we journey to Mysore, India to chat with yoga teacher, world traveler, and writer of the blog ‘Radically Ever After’, Namita Kulkarni. Our conversation centers around the theme of hierarchy and how it reveals itself within society. Our current global pandemic has only risen a magnifying glass to these pressing concerns including violence towards women, casteism, and white supremacy.
We also reflect on how hierarchy shows up in yoga culture sparking a discussion on the importance of finding a yoga teacher who “points you to your own path” rather than simply showing you his/her own. Ultimately, in building a student-teacher relationship based on mutual respect, you are able to become the most "present and centered version of yourself.”

Yogini, sage, and adventurer, Deborah Koehn, unveils the foundations from which she crafted her guiding mantra, ‘Nature as Teacher’- a derivative of a lifetime spent traveling throughout the remote landscapes of our world, from the high Andes to the Himalayas.
