S1 EP126 | Bhakti + Chanting | Feat. Jai Uttal Jul 01, 2020

Show notes

Yogis! I get really excited about everyone I have on the podcast, and today I’m extra excited to interview Jai Uttal. He is THE MAN! The man of Bhakti Yoga and a Grammy-nominated singer and composer. Jai plays a ton of instruments and is extremely gifted in his craft. We discuss various topics including what Bhakti yoga is and how it benefits your life. Jai shares that in the Bhakti yoga practice we are directed to sit the emotional fire and feel that pain as well as our joy. Rather than try and run away from challenge, feel it and breathe. We also chatted about his Online Kirtan Camp, which is a rich journey through the inspirational art of Kirtan, or devotional chanting. Registration for his camp ends soon, and if you’re thinking about signing up, just DO IT because his energy and wisdom can’t be missed. Jai is an incredible human. His music is beautiful, his offerings are inspirational, and he is a bright shining light. You guys are totally going to enjoy this episode. Listen now!

S1 EP122 | Shadow Work | Feat. Sianna Sherman May 27, 2020

Show notes

Sianna is a wonderful human being and we have the honor of guiding mutual students that practice with both of us! It was really cool to connect with Sianna. We discuss shadow work and for me, it’s a pretty new concept. It’s very interesting; becoming aware of the different side of ourselves that may be neglected. When we shine light on that side, we become more intimate with that part of our being. Shadow work tends to have fear or uncertainty behind it – yet, our own power lives in our shadows when we uncover it. If we are not paying attention to shadow, if left unattended, it begins to run our lives. It’s important to show all parts of ourselves and be brave enough to be vulnerable. This episode will rock your world and interviewing Sianna truly inspired me and I’m sure it will inspire you too. Listen now!

S1 EP118 | Fierce Calm #yogasavedmylife | Feat. Maude Hirst Apr 29, 2020

Show notes

Today is a Fierce Calm Collaboration, one of my FAVORITE episodes to do! Maude Hirst has a rad story! She is a past actor that has changed her life through meditation and yoga! Ten years into her acting career she reflected on her life, then suddenly realized that she was just repeating patterns of self-destructive behavior. She had to move on from an unhealthy relationship and had to reflect on if her career was the best for her. A quote that she lives by is feel the fear and do it anyway. The vulnerability she found in yoga inspired her to continue in the practice, it enables her to feel loved, heard and seen. During a yoga retreat she reached a deeper level of self awareness and concluded that it was her job to speak her truth and live her truth.

S1 EP100 | 100th episode special | Feat. ME! Dec 04, 2019

Show notes

Can you believe it! We made it to 100 episodes!

It's been a whirlwind of real talk on the past 100 episodes with the most inspirational yoga leaders. It feels really good to normalize certain conversations and shed light on those places in the yoga world that some shy away from.

In today's show Susannah interviews me on the highlights that have happened since we started this podcast 3 years ago. I reveal my top two favorite guests that I've had on the show (even though we don't have favorites). I also share the plans for this podcast moving forward and who my next dream podcasts guests would be.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing up and listening in. Cheers to the next 100 shows.

If we haven't yet, let's meet in person! Join me in Portugal for my retreat in April! Let's live this life together. https://dannipomplun.com/yoga-offerings/retreats/

S1 EP95 | Jacob’s Journey | Feat. Jacob Manning Oct 31, 2019

Show notes

Jacob's Journey with Jacob Manning

I’m so excited to have Jacob Manning today. We are all on an amazing journey, from where we start and the goals we build for ourselves.

Jacob shares his journey through the years. Not only a yoga instructor but in his life, and how he balances between it all.

Jacob takes us back to the beginning of his yoga practice, with the goals that he set that felt he could achieve. Finding a daily practice that helps support his personal goals.
We talk about how we help flourish and take care of ourselves. How we spend time watering, as Jacob puts it, the garden. The different aspects we have in our life, and where we focus our energy too much or too little.

Join Jacob and I for a seven-day charka retreat in Portugal, April 2020.

S1 EP92 | Men & Body Image | Feat. Brian Carew Oct 09, 2019

Show notes

Men & Body Image with Brian Carew

Today I have Brian Carew. If you haven’t seen his posts already he is an advocate for positive body images in men. This can be such a taboo topic, and Brian shares his journey through it.

Brian shares when it started and how he started to recognize it. Starting with time-controlled eating, and how cheat days become more. The influence on the fitness community and the power of movement we talk about the changes that happen when we connect with our bodies.
We also talk about how social media helps share his message, empowering other men through their journey. Learning that there is a community of men who struggle with body image issues.

It was such a pleasure talking to Brian. Take a listen and enjoy!
