Welcome to Episode #29 of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast! This week, I welcome Liina Tael onto the show. She is a yoga teacher from Estonia.

My conversation with Liina Tael, a yoga teacher from Estonia, was so beautiful as we delved into Liina’s journey with yoga— from a mindset of “no pain, no gain,” and “work hard, play hard” to a place of tenderness and self-inquiry, and the essence of yin yoga. I hope our conversation made you curious about becoming curious yourself— about your own individual experience with yoga in your body, energy, and emotions. I also loved how Liina offered up gentle warnings about looking towards yoga like a holy grail, or as a sort of spiritual bypass.

If you’re looking to tune into a podcast episode that really focuses on where the rubber meets the road, then this is the conversation for you.

Liina Tael is a yoga teacher from Estonia, who spent years in Australia learning yoga and teaching yoga, she now lives in Berlin and has plans to build a home in Italy in the near future. As a global citizen, Liina feels enormous grief over the way humans are treating the world, and relating to the world. In fact, she feels “Grief for how we are treating the world, and our wider community.” She invites us to imagine imagine what the world will be like when we start to live from that place where we feel that connection— the connection that is engendered by yoga.

She has such a beautiful perspective on the individual and the collective, and how to align with our truest essence.
