What to expect in the Yoga In Sri Lanka episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast
Serena Burgess came to yoga while living in the UK at the Shivanada ashram there. After receiving her certification, she moved back home to Sri Lanka where she opened her own yoga studio, The Om Space, in Colombo. While the pandemic caused the studio to shut down, Serena expressed nothing but gratitude for the shift of her energy and intention.
Burgess's practice of yoga also intersects with activism. She became involved in the Aragalya struggle, which was a people's uprising in Sri Lanka. Burgess’s involvement in activism started when she began feeling that something was not right in the world, starting with the separation of children at the borders in the US. She feels that a lot of people are living with a slight feeling that things are not quite right due to the economic crisis and other issues affecting the world. Yoga has helped her engage in the generative story and see the good things that are happening in the world.
Serena Burgess believes that these ancient tools can be utilized in our modern world to face the challenges we come across. Serena has also formulated a workshop called Conscious Courage, which is aimed at allowing people some space and time to figure out how they would like to show up in the world. Serena believes that yoga is not just about practicing asanas but can be integrated into daily life. After all, it’s all yoga!

My conversation with Nathalie Bittar, a yoga teacher and the first yoga studio owner from Sudan, was enthralling as we took a deep dive into yoga as a complementary practice, not a competitive practice to religion. I hope that this conversation expanded your perception of how yoga can be a space for community, trust, and safety and how yoga can help you individually, and a community as a whole, shed defenses, shed armor, and help trauma to move through.

What to expect in the Yoga In Sudan episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast
Nathalie was working and living in New York City when 9/11 happened. In fact, she worked in the towers. Not the ones that fell— the one across the street. She had just begun practicing yoga that same year, and kept going to practice throughout that time of enormous trauma and turmoil. Yet, as the practice healed her, it still felt like a mystery.
That led Nathalie to do her first yoga teacher training, and she decided to move back to Sudan to open the first yoga studio in her country in 2008. We talked about what it was like for her to open the first yoga studio in Sudan, and if there was any pushback. She expressed fears about the police shutting it down or disturbing the classes, but fortunately, that never happened. We also talked about what a difficult time it has been in the last few years for Sudan, with overthrowing the government in April 2019 and just over 2 years later a military coup taking place in October 2021. Nathalie shared with us how has yoga helped her community during this time of turmoil.
As Nathalie leads yoga retreats not just in Sudan, but worldwide, we also delved into what advice she has to offer to yoga teachers who are one day hoping of leading yoga retreats themselves. As Nathalie conveyed, always have a plan and always have an eraser!
This was a beautiful conversation about trauma, safety, trust, shedding defenses, and how healing can happen on and off the mat, in and outside of the studio, all with, through, and by… yoga!

My conversation with Sten Kadji, a yoga teacher from Cameroon, was so bright and beautiful as we looked at yoga as a union of spheres, a fusion of many practices.

Tell me more about Sten Kadji
Sten Kadji opened the first yoga studio in Cameroon, Studio Ark Yoga, at the end of 2019. While he began practicing yoga in 2015, he received his yoga teacher training certification with the Africa Yoga Project in Kenya, and was actually in the same graduating class as Rama Saeed from Ghana, a previous guest on the Wild Yoga Tribe podcast. Sten teaches various types of meditations and Power Vinyasa Yoga at his studio in Douala, Cameroon.
What to expect in the Yoga In Cameroon episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast
While Sten Kadji is from Cameroon, he first came to yoga while attending university in Florida. Upon returning to Cameroon, he knew he wanted to bring all that he had learned to his community. He sought out a yoga teacher training with the Africa Yoga Project in Kenya, and opened the first studio in Cameroon shortly after in his mother’s art gallery. As Sten says, “It was a no-brainer how art and yoga associate.”
Our conversation veered off into many beautiful directions, including how Sten defines yoga, the gifts that yoga has given him, and all that yoga has brought into his life. His mother lost her battle with cancer a few years ago, and Sten credits yoga for helping him to heal.
It was fascinating to hear how being the first yoga studio in Cameroon has given required him to shoulder more responsibilities surrounding yoga. As Sten says, “In Cameroon, we do have a lot of preconceived ideas that people who associate yoga to religious affiliation or sometimes it's very mystified and we take a lot of pride in dismantling these ideas or these myths around yoga. Through practices like meditation and breath work and even different workshops like around the yamas and niyamas and different philosophy around the practice, we try to share with our community around us.”

--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wildyogatribe/messageWelcome to Episode #79 of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast! This week, I welcome Chacal Lobos onto the show. My conversation with Chacal Lobos, a yoga teacher from Guatemala, was gorgeous. We took a swan dive into the ancestral and spiritual understanding of yoga as a discipline. Not as an art. Not as a science. As a discipline. I hope this conversation made you consider things differently, with Carlos’ sharing of stories, parables, and myths.
If you’re looking to tune into a podcast episode that is all about yoga as a rebellious act, a revolution, a way to follow your own path INWARDS, then this is the conversation for you.

Tell me more about Chacal Lobos
Chacal Lobos, who goes by Carlos, is the co-founder of Tribu Ashtanga in Guatemala with his partner Elena. Gratitude is at the heart of all that Carlos does. Tribu Ashtanga holds yoga teacher trainings and yoga intensives. He teaches in San Marcos La Laguna.
What to expect in the Yoga In Guatemala episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast
Chacal Lobos is a storyteller. Specifically, he shared two beautiful parables with us, one of the first female monk and another of children rowing a boat during the nighttime. Carlos is a storyteller— and someone who got me to tell a story of my own on the show.
Carlos is passionate about the ancestral practices of yoga, and of Guatemala. He shared with us how immensely beautiful his culture’s ancient practices are — and how the day that we recorded, was actually a special day for such a conversation to take place. Every day has a different energy, according to the Mayan calendars, so he told us about how he lives his life connected with that path and with daily rituals of Mayan Cosmology, connecting with the ancestral and the divine.
Carlos conveyed that, ancestral practices never die. By practicing yourself, you help it to never die. As Carlos says, “Yoga has an essence and we are just translators.”
Carlos views yoga not as a science, not as an art, but as a discipline. While this word may carry certain connotations, Chacal shared with us the root is discs, which means the openness to learn.” Tribu Ashtanga is a community that is both “open and empty” to follow the path of ashtanga yoga.

Favorite Quote From Chacal Lobos
“I feel that every person that is in the yoga practice has a rebel heart. Because mostly society is like teaching us to look outside. For the people who are in this, like you, they made the decision to look inside instead of looking outside as a rebel act. I think we're in the same line."

Heran was adopted from Ethiopia as a baby, and was raised in the Netherlands. She studied tropical forestry in University, and first came to yoga at that time in her life. She practiced and attended classes for 10 years before attending a yoga teacher training in Belgium. After receiving a job offer in Addis Ababa, she returned to Ethiopia. She works in the educational sector and teaches yoga in multiple studios.
Heran then took us on a deep dive of what Kemetic Yoga, which has it’s roots in ancient Egypt which pre-dates yoga in India, though it is no longer a living part of Egyptian culture. It’s about reconnecting with the ancestors, and is modeled after the hieroglyphics. It’s akin to Iyengar yoga, with strict, static poses.
Afrikan yoga was founded by a man from Jamaica who is based out of Kenya. This style draws upon movements that people make, in the whole Nile Valley. This could be movements that fishermen make, or women who are grinding wheat. There are series of movements, with a lot more flow and, in fact, dance. There is a huge focus on relating to the elements.
Heran also walked us through all the diversity and beauty of her country, and about the history of yoga in Ethiopia and where she sees yoga going into the future. As there are only 20 yoga teachers, approximately, in her country— and as she is the most experienced practitioner in her country, she is often stopped on the street and people shout “yoga!” At her. The whole city knows her as the yoga teacher.

What to expect in the Yoga In Moldova episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast
Alina came to yoga when she was just 9 years old. There were kids yoga classes offered at the school across the street from Alina's house. It’s the longest relationship to anything Alina has had that has stretched all the way until today. She feels like it was a sign from the universe that she was supposed to be involved with yoga.
She actually started teaching yoga when she was only 15 years old. She started teaching yoga at the kids yoga studio, and offered kids yoga classes. At age 18 years old, she realized there was nothing better than yoga, and she was given an adult group to begin teaching.

In regards to yoga in Moldova, Alina feels that it is “just the beginning.” She has her own studio, and she works with a lot of people who worries that yoga is boring or just sitting in meditation. There are a lot of people in Moldova who have a lot of preconceptions about yoga, and Alina is working to break those stereotypes down.
At Alina’s studio, every day there are about 8 brand-new students who show up for their very first yoga class. I asked Alina, why does she think that new people come for their first yoga, she said it is because they are in pain or there is a problem with something in their lives. There has been a growing awareness in Moldova that yoga can help with physical pain.

What to expect in the Yoga In Indonesia episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast
Rocky Ryu and I shared a beautiful conversation about yoga in Indonesia. We started off the conversation discussing how yoga first came into his life - as he witnessed yoga taking place through windows, until he one day decided to join.
Over twenty-five years ago, there wasn't a lot of yoga going on in Indonesia. Though, this was personally very hard for me to imagine! Rocky built his own yoga studio, Mallika Yoga, and has been guiding students towards health and wellness through incorporating not just yoga asana, but massage, body work, breath work and more. He has even developed the RM method, which is an act of true union, as it marries together everything Rocky has learned from various healing modalities.
You’ll love hearing birdsong in the background, and Rocky’s kind laughter and gentle energy. As he says, “Only with gratitude can we be satisfied and happy in life.”

Favorite Quote From Rocky Ryu
“Yoga is more than the body. With asana poses it even can heal traumatic experiences that are long stored in the body, such as fear, abuse, and broken heartedness. Generally speaking, people here that I encounter had so much fear and have anxiety stored in them, so we help them to heal their general health and well-being. So just not just physical, but it's more than that.”

Ros Langer has been studying and practicing yoga for over 15 years. Ashtanga vinyasa yoga remains her central reference and informs all of her teachings. According to Ros, “the mat is just the beginning.” She teaches yoga at Energie in English Harbour, Antigua. Ros's main residence is in Antigua but she spends a few months of the year in Cape Town, South Africa. She is the mother of two young men who continually inspire her to rise to her fullest potential.
What to expect in the Yoga In Antigua episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast
Ros Langer was first introduced to yoga through a friend, who had a yoga teacher come to Antigua to teach her and train her in yoga. Ros bought a John Scott Ashtanga DVD, and after practicing for a few years she moved to Capetown, which Ros calls the Rishikesh of South Africa. She was trained in Capetown and was delighted to be able to teach at The Shala in Capetown, which she deems one of the best yoga studios in the world.
We also talked about how Ros’s practice changed through menopause, surgery, and generally as she has gotten older. Ros came to yoga at 45, and was trained at age 50, she shared with us what happened with her practice over the years, and with a cancer scare and after surgery.
Asana is not an exercise. This is something Ros firmly stands behind, and it was great to talk to her more about her thoughts on it. That being said, she thinks it’s completely fine if people want to come to the yoga practice for the sake of exercise. Come and be welcome!
For Ros, yoga is about finding balance and equanimity and spaciousness. Curious? Tune into the whole podcast episode!
