25. Philosophy of Yoga with Andy Betancourt
Today I had the privilege of talking with one of my instructors from Yoga Veda Institute, Andy Betancourt. Andy is the co-founder of Yoga Veda Institute, a heart-centered educational experience that offers bite-sized introductory classes on Yoga, Ayurvedic Foundations, and Women's Health from an Eastern perspective, all the way up to a complete Ayurvedic Practitioner program. In this episode, we discussed the reasons why one might take up a Yoga Practice, and the steps to take to grow and evolve spiritually.
I loved the quote to which he referred by Jiddu Krishnamurti in regards to cultural appreciation vs cultural appropriation of Yoga:
“When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.”

24B. **Updated Audio** Coaching Client 1: You've Done Nothing Wrong
I corrected the audio background noise in this episode. In this series, I'll be talking about ways I work with my coaching clients. With this client, we worked with the book The Universe Has a Plan by Matt Kahn. We focused specifically on the first chapter, to help her gain a new perspective on her marriage issues, showing her that indeed, she had done nothing wrong initially to cause her husband's insecurities.

9. Imposter Syndrome/Feeling Like a Fraud
There IS something more to the rat race of life. Life can be filled with purpose beyond going to work and coming home in front of the boob tube. We CAN facilitate change in the world around us!
My hope is to create a space where you can feel yourself, and not an outsider or weirdo. I don't have it all together, either, and life is messy with kids and spouses and parents who are constantly pulling on our guilt strings. We can't all move away to Utopia and live the life we dream of...but we can stop feeling like our ideals are wrong. I'm here to post a trail of breadcrumbs for you to navigate your way through the consumer-driven lifestyle we simultaneously resist and conform to. I'm the water station in your marathon to cheer you on your way. I'll teach you everything I know, and be brutally honest when I hit a wall, too.
Welcome. To The Suburban Misfit.
