It's a popular cliché, "it's about the journey and not the destination", but is this true? What is more important, the getting there or arriving at the endpoint? Fellow yogini Debs Albon and I found ourselves inadvertently answering this ques
I am going solo this time to talk about one of my favourite yogic principles: surrender. I have learned to love this word and apply this principle to my life, which has not been without challenge given the fact it has such negative connotation
What is the common thread that runs through every human culture through the millenia? It's so simple: gathering around a fire, sharing food, sharing stories and singing. A practice of collective sharing that connects and binds us together as
Have you had moments in your life when you just knew in your heart that a decision was right? Even though perhaps it seemed like a risk at the time and the outcome was uncertain? This is called a leap of faith, and in my experience, these dec
We are obsessed with our identifiers, aren't we? We think that who we are, our personality/identity, are things like our work status, relationship status, family role, gender, race, nationality, physical attributes, religious beliefs, politica
I'm back on the mat with radio host, podcaster and therapist Baruch Zeichner to reflect on this transitional phase the world finds itself in at the moment. And part of this journey is our collective face off with the dark side of humanity. We
It's a long way from southern Brazil to the south coast of England, but it's a journey that Flavio de Brito took over 20 years ago to improve his english and learn ballroom dancing. His penchant for the performing arts had started already with
You hear about people who take the risk and walk away from stable, successful lives. They leave secure income and safe career paths to head into the unknown. Why do they do it? How do they do it?Well, I'm finding out in this podcast with Kir
I think we all understand the old saying "you are what you eat", but what if you're not aware of what you are actually eating? Of what the specific ingredients are in the things you are putting in your mouth? Of the reason(s) behind the choic
In this western culture of "been there, done that, bought the T-shirt" one could think that at some point there isn't more to learn. Can't teach an old dog new tricks sort of thing. Not so yoga! I'm chatting with Debs Albon who has been prac
There seems to be a lot going on around the world and most of it not good: wars and conflict, climate change, Ego-driven politics, suffering on a mass scale. Perhaps it's best to bury our heads in the sand and hope it all goes away? Absolutel
Can we make friends with death? Why would we need to do that? Surely death is something we don't want to talk about, it's too depressing or scary.The inspiration behind this podcast is the book by Judith Lief called Making friends with death,
As so often happens, when something very challenging, very painful comes your way, it can be life-changing. It's the Universe waking you up. This was certainly the case for Etienne Peirsman, a leader and author in the field of Cranio Sacral T
It's the first MatChat Podcast of 2023 and what a better way to start than chatting with Lori Aloisio, a Holistic Weight Loss Coach. Being on the other side of the festive season, perhaps weight is a poignant subject at the moment. Losing wei
Christmas is fast approaching and I've invited friend and singer-songwriter Tobiah back on the mat to chat about what giving and receiving really means. Because it's so easy to just focus on the commercial, material side of this celebration an
Are you in the right place, doing what you feel you were made to do and fulfilling your core purpose? Or are you just going through the motions, playing it safe and sensible, yet knowing it's not what your heart really desires?I think most of
We are defined by so many things, aren't we? Just think about it. Your name was given to you by your parents, your nationality is an accident of birthplace, and your physical features by your genes. Now add educational status, social status,
Mental health - if we're not talking about it, we're probably thinking about it. Our own and that of others we care about. The pandemic has focused our attention very firmly on this subject. It touches everyone - young, old, rich, poor. It
This week I'm co-hosting with friend and fellow yogi Sarah Cox and we are talking about the M-word: menopause. Half the population have to go through this natural transition and yet for many women it's fraught with emotional, mental and physic
It's all about vibration. The universe is vibrating, this planet is vibrating and you/we are vibrating. Even rocks vibrate. All the time. Everything is in constant motion - some you can feel, like an earthquake, and some you can't, like the
I must admit, in my ignorance I had always thought that "organic farming" was an alternative response to modern farming. But this week Pammy Riggs sets me and the record straight. The term "organic" is misleading. For thousands of years, hum
What is karma? You're probably thinking that it's the thing where you do something bad, then something bad happens to you. "Getting your just desserts", as it were. That's part of it but there's a lot more. Yes, the energy created by a nega
There is one thing we all have, and that is a story. Our own personal story. It begins the moment we are born, but we don't become aware of it until we develop cognition and memory as older children. We can be given a good story, such as "yo
Apparently we breathe in and out about 22,000 times a day without thinking. It happens automatically, a bodily function we take for granted, along with the heart beating and the body digesting. But the ancient yogis discovered that there was
Carmela Martinez is no stranger to the concept of letting go on many levels. When she took over her father's printing business seven years ago in Montreal, Canada, she had some big shoes to fill. The company was organised on old school, patri
