She created Sober Yoga Girl as a sanctuary for seekers on the path of healing - those navigating recovery from addiction, trauma, and mental health challenges, or just the overwhelm of being human in this modern world.And she’s also a fellow Canadian (living abroad like me!).

  • Retraining The Mind With Meditation, Satsang & Living Scriptures | Katharine Pincham
    “So when you experience that peace, it's because it's your nature. Your real nature is peaceful. It is blissful. It is contented.”Wow, this is an incredible episode from early in September, recorded for the Good Company livestream series with my brilliant friend Katharine from Unchanging Being. She is a longtime meditator and a deeply wise teacher. We talked about the Gita, the Gunas, retraining the mind, meditation, and satsang (and more). This is a conversation that bridges ancient wisdom with modern life. A classic, inspiring and educational talk that everyone will take something from, especially if you have a mind that tends to disturb you - like me!Our dialogue explores the interplay of the essence of true freedom and the vital role of meditation in discovering the unchanging Self.Through personal anecdotes and insights, Katharine illuminates the path of self-discovery and the eternal quest to understand one’s true nature.Here are a few of the profound takeaways (there are many):➖ Satsang and good company support genuine spiritual growth ➖ The Bhagavad Gita is a living scripture, fully relevant today ➖ Freedom from the mind is the true aim of meditation ➖ The Gunas are constantly shaping our thoughts and actions ➖ Witness consciousness unlocks a deeper understanding of the Self ➖ Meditation reveals the unchanging nature of Being ➖ Self-discovery is a lifelong journey, enriched through teachings and experienceFind Katharine: unchangingbeing.com Subscribe to Unchanging Being on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@unchangingbeingKatharine’s current Bhagavad Gita cohort has already begun, although she offers other in-depth courses on the Upanishads, Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, the Yamas and Niyamas, regular satsang, a brilliant newsletter, and her new YouTube channel, which features teachings and meditations.I loved spending time with my wise satsang friend and sharing this livestream episode with the Patreon community.

  • Unpacking Yoga's History With A Feminist Lens | Anjali Rao
    "Question everything."Today, I welcome Anjali Rao, a yoga teacher and author, to discuss her journey into yoga, the cultural and historical contexts of yoga, and the themes of gender and caste within the practice. We delve into the representation of women and gender-expansive folks in yoga history, the impact of caste on yoga practices, and the importance of diverse perspectives in understanding yoga's role in modern society. Anjali emphasizes the need for curiosity, critical thinking, and the ability to hold paradoxes in our understanding of yoga and its teachings.Key moments from our talk; ➖ Caste and patriarchy significantly impact modern yoga practices.➖ Yoga is often misrepresented as a monolithic practice.➖ Diverse perspectives are essential for understanding yoga's complexities.➖ Curiosity and questioning are vital for personal growth.➖ Yoga can serve as a tool for resistance against societal norms.➖ The importance of community and dialogue in yoga practice.Find her new book, Yoga As Embodied Resistance: A Feminist Lens in Caste, Gender And Sacred Resilience in Yoga History, and join her upcoming reading circle HEREAnjali on IG HEREI really enjoyed receiving more contextual history and thought-provoking research presented by Anjali, and mostly her passion for sharing knowledge. I know you will take away something to contemplate in your positionality in the yoga world, as well as in your personal relationship with the broad and diverse teachings of yoga. in oneness, Bobbi Thanks for listening! 💭Support the podcast and join monthly satsangs at patreon.com/acuriousyogipodcast 💭 If you liked this episode, please leave a review – it really, really helps the show reach more people, plus I love reading each one. 💭 Share your biggest takeaway on Instagram stories @bobbipaidel 💭Join me in northern India for the Yog Sadhana Retreat Himalaya March 2026 bobbipaidel.com/himalayan-retreat 💭 If you’d like to chat about the show, be a guest, or practice together find me at bobbipaidel.com/connect 🙏♥️✨

  • Being A Humble Student, Yoga Retreats & The Inner Life | Yarmila Alfonzetti
    "It's so scary to be nobody."In this episode, I’m talking with Yarmila Alfonzetti, one of Australia’s leading arts professionals, a mother, a wife, a friend, and, in the truest sense of the word, a curious yogi.Yarmila joins me with so much joy and openness to share her journey as a yogi. Together, we dive into themes of identity, ego, and what makes yoga retreats so special. She speaks about the gift of silence in practice, the experience of bliss, and how personal growth brings its own responsibilities. Along the way, we reflect on the wisdom of our many teachers and the transformative power of retreats, reminding us that yoga is truly a lifelong journey of self-discovery and deeper understanding.Here are a few of the nuggets we explore:➖ Accepting our inner seeking nature can be challenging. ➖ The ego can be a significant barrier to growth. ➖ Silence and meditation become more important as practice deepens. ➖ The path of seeking is often filled with challenges and fears. ➖ Morality and kindness are essential in the pursuit of truth. ➖ Yoga retreats offer space for real learning and personal growth.I loved this candid and spontaneous conversation with Yarmila. She mentioned that she always tries to be the best person in the room, and I believe she truly is.This chat really feels like sitting down with two friends, and I think you’ll feel that too.✨ Also, tune in to the intro for a special scholarship offer for our India retreat—open to one of our Curious Yogi Podcast listeners!In oneness, BobbiThanks for listening! 💭Support the podcast and join monthly satsangs at patreon.com/acuriousyogipodcast 💭 If you liked this episode, please leave a review – it really, really helps the show reach more people, plus I love reading each one. 💭 Share your biggest takeaway on Instagram stories @bobbipaidel 💭Join me in northern India for the Yog Sadhana Retreat Himalaya March 2026 bobbipaidel.com/himalayan-retreat 💭 If you’d like to chat about the show, be a guest, or practice together find me at bobbipaidel.com/connect 🙏♥️✨
