Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ben Kalra on Yoga Philosophy and Devotion to the Practice
Q: But as yoga teachers, why should we pay attention to yoga philosophy and how does it translate into classes?
Yoga philosophy deeply informs teaching by providing a framework to address obstacles in the mind, guiding students toward self-realization, and offering practical ways to articulate esoteric ideas in relatable, on-the-ground terms.
Poranguí on Serving the Music and the Yoga of Sound
Q: What happened during the Envision Festival performance when the technology failed, and how did you respond to that moment?
He describes stepping into a presence-focused approach, inviting the audience to participate, and shifting to an unplugged, co-created experience that became a highlight rather than a disaster.
Lizzy Beyer on Yoga Trade, Adventure, & Living in Alignment
Q: What role does Yoga Trade play in your professional journey and how does it connect to leadership and living authentically?
Yoga Trade provided a practical route to exchange work, learn new modalities, and build a supportive community, enabling her to live outside traditional capitalism models while pursuing surfing, teaching, and ecological work—an authentic leadership path by example.
Lizzy Beyer on Yoga Trade, Adventure, & Living in Alignment
Q: How did the Yoga Farm experience in Costa Rica influence your path and lead to Yoga Trade involvement?
The immersive environment opened her eyes to a life aligned with nature and community, beyond the conventional top-down policy path, and inspired her to return to the farm as a trade and later pursue opportunities through Yoga Trade and Surf With Amigas.
Lizzy Beyer on Yoga Trade, Adventure, & Living in Alignment
Q: What was your origin story and what were you studying before this shift to adventure and teaching?
She pursued environmental science and public administration, faced burnout and disillusionment, and realized that systemic, collective action was essential, which led her toward teaching, travel, and eventually Yoga Trade as a platform for living her values.
