The Yoga Trade Podcast

In the final episode of Season 1 of The Yoga Trade Podcast, we sit down with Yoga Trade co-founder, Erica Hartnick. Eight years after a creative spark between founders, Erica and Pat, over dragonfruit smoothies in Bali, ‘Yoga Trade’ blossomed into an online platform serving wellness practitioners around the world. Today, we discus the power of collaboration, the importance of a regenerative mindset, along with how technology has changed our global yoga community. With the launch of the new website, we wrap up our conversation exploring the ways Yoga Trade is adapting and looking toward the future.

“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.

Drastic environmental changes and the lingering pandemic push us to reimagine a new normal. On that quest, we sit down with wellness entrepreneur, Jeff Krasno - founder of Wanderlust, CEO & Founder of Commune Media, and the host of the Commune Podcast. Through these mindful endeavors, Jeff strives to share the impact of like-minded community and hopes to enable others to take wellness into their own hands. In today’s conversation, we discuss how to discern between fact and fiction in a “post-truth” world, the importance of putting yourself on your own priority list, and the power of living an integrated life.

“Life begins when we wake up to the sacredness,” when we are called to “live like an awake person.” In these introductory lines, international yoga teacher and founder of Radiant Body Yoga, Kia Miller, shakes us to recognize the luminous possibilities held within the vastness of our inner worlds. We discuss how to approach meditation from a place of open curiosity, why we must take radical responsibility for ourselves and our own actions, and the fundamentals of both Kundalini and Kriya yoga. By intimately sharing with us her path to yoga, Kia helps us understand that continually showing up on our mats is one of the purest forms of activism.
