    Ep #194: Flow With Devotion with Kimberley Utama

    She walked into a yoga class and something unexpected happened, the kind of moment that quietly changes the direction of your life. In this episode, Kimberley Utama shares the personal journey that led her from feeling pulled between identities to building a life rooted in practice, presence, and purpose. She speaks about what drew her to Bali, what surprised her most once she arrived, and how her relationship with yoga shifted from “something to do” into something she could not ignore. Along the way, she reflects on the inner work that happens behind the scenes of becoming a teacher, the parts of the path that are rarely talked about, and why she is now leaning toward quieter, subtler practices that feel deeper than anything she expected. If you have ever questioned where you belong, or felt called toward a new chapter but did not know why, this conversation will leave you wanting to hear what happens next.

    Ep #193: Creating Belonging with Leah Santa Cruz

    Some spaces are built from ambition. Others are built from survival, devotion, and a long commitment to inner work. In this episode, Leah Santa Cruz shares the deeply personal journey that shaped her role as a founder of The In Movement. From early experiences with chaos and instability to burnout, meditation, motherhood, and leadership, Leah reflects on how lived experience becomes the foundation for meaningful community. Rather than offering polished answers, Leah speaks honestly about discipline, healing, and the responsibility that comes with creating a space meant to hold others. She explores why depth matters now more than ever, how belonging is cultivated rather than assumed, and what it means to lead without repeating old patterns of self sacrifice. This conversation is not about quick fixes or feel good moments. It is about building something that lasts and what it asks of the people creating it.

    Ep #192:Leadership That Challenges with Paul Teodo

    Some visions are born from stillness. Others are forged through discipline, friction, and a willingness to commit fully. In this episode, Paul Teodo shares his perspective on building The In Movement from the inside out. Not as a sudden leap, but as the result of years of partnership, responsibility, and choosing purpose over comfort. Paul speaks openly about what felt missing in the wellness culture around him, and why devotion, structure, and service are just as essential as softness and self love. He reflects on fatherhood, leadership, and the tension between nurturing and challenge, offering a grounded look at what it takes to build something that asks more of the people inside it. This conversation is not about branding or aesthetics. It is about standards, integrity, and the quiet courage required to say “I am all in” and mean it. Episode Chapters: 00:00 – Why this studio began as an idea years ago 02:40 – The deeper spark behind creating this space 04:51 – What felt missing in the wellness culture 05:30 – Feminine healing and masculine purpose 07:27 – Discipline, provocation, and asking harder questions 09:01 – Fatherhood and redefining leadership 10:19 – Trust, roles, and long-term collaboration 11:41 – Working with your partner and setting boundaries 15:38 – Regulation, stress, and self care practices 16:25 – When the project almost did not happen 18:49 – Community, standards, and shared purpose 20:01 – What this space is asking of Paul now Mentions & Resources: Michael Henri’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelyoga.pt/  Paul Teodo’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stories/teodoyogaguitar/  The IN Movement Instagram: https://www.instagram/com/the_in_movement/ Tags: The In Movement, yoga leadership, founders journey, masculine and feminine balance, discipline and purpose, conscious community, yoga philosophy, fatherhood and leadership, embodiment, personal growth

    SEASON 2, EPISODE 1 TRAILER

    Ep #191: Truth, freedom, and the inner work behind the vision with Byron de Marsé

    The moment a vision stops feeling theoretical and starts asking something real of you, everything changes. In this episode, Byron speaks candidly about what it means to bring The In Movement into form. Not as a brand concept, but as a lived philosophy shaped by years of teaching, partnership, risk, and trust. Rather than offering a polished origin story, Byron reflects on the quieter forces behind the studio’s creation. The long arc of preparation, the subtle pivots that could have led somewhere smaller, and the internal clarity required to choose something bigger. He explores the tension between going inward and showing up fully in the world, and why embodiment, community, and lasting transformation sit at the heart of this movement. This conversation invites you behind the scenes of a project still unfolding. It does not explain everything. Instead, it opens a doorway into the questions, values, and inner work that make this space what it is becoming. Episode Chapters: 00:00 – Returning to the mic and the season of building 02:03 – A pivotal moment and the idea of preparation meeting opportunity 05:52 – Truth, freedom, and the inner work behind the vision 10:00 – What “The In Movement” actually means 15:37 – Alignment, disagreement, and creative tension between founders 20:14 – Byron’s role as a visionary and pattern seer 23:25 – When the project almost took a smaller form 25:20 – Curating an experience of lasting transformation 29:26 – Community, embodiment, and why people come back 30:50 – What this space is asking of him now 35:18 – Empowerment, oscillation, and long-term support 37:43 – How to stay connected as the movement unfolds Mentions & Resources: Michael Henri’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelyoga.pt/  Byron de Marse’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/byronyoga/  The IN Movement Instagram: https://www.instagram/com/the_in_movement/ Tags: The In Movement, Yoga philosophy, Founders journey, Embodiment, Community building, Vision and leadership, Conscious business, Transformation, Inner work, Yoga culture

    Ep #190: Empowered to Pause

    What if the most powerful step forward is… to stop? This short episode is a gentle invitation to pause with intention. It announces a brief break and a coming name change to The In Movement Podcast, all framed as part of a larger practice: letting ideas integrate instead of rushing to the next thing.  You’ll hear a simple reflection on why rest matters, how stepping back can create space for meaning, and a spoken passage on forgiveness, surrender, and inner strength that lingers long after the audio ends. If you’re tired of constant input and craving a more grounded way to grow, this one asks you to breathe, soften, and let it land—so the next chapter can begin clear and true.  —-------—-------—- Episode Chapters: 00:00:00 Introduction 00:00:24 Choosing a Pause 00:01:27 A Season of Rest 00:01:50 Rebrand: The In Movement Podcast 00:02:19 Why Integration Matters 00:02:57 Reading on Empowerment & Forgiveness 00:04:44 Sit With the Words 00:05:03 Stay Connected & See You in the New Year —-------—-------—- 📚 Mentions & Resources: Book: Live the Life of Empowerment — Kefa Bates (excerpt read).

    Ep #189: Facts, Hype, and the Truth in Between with Byron and Michael

    What if the stories you repeat every day aren’t yours—but someone else’s script running your life? In this episode, Byron and Michael look closely at narratives—the powerful stories we absorb from media, culture, and community—and how they shape what we feel, believe, and choose. They explore the difference between raw facts and the emotional storyline built around them, naming how hype can manipulate attention, belonging, and identity.  They invite a return to truthfulness (Satya) and witness consciousness (sakshi bhava)—seeing the story without becoming the story—so decisions come from inner integrity, not crowd pressure. He also touches on collective “open secrets,” victim narratives, and why neutrality can get misread as opposition.  For teachers, he offers a practical lens: every class is a narrative—so what are you feeding? Ego, or autonomy and intention? They close with a simple map for crafting transformational stories in class: personal lesson → yogic principle → clear bridge back to the student’s life. Curious where your choices end and the narrative begins? This conversation is your mirror.  —-------—-------—- Episode Chapters: 00:00:00 Introduction 00:00:43 Rebrand Tease 00:02:08 What Is a Narrative? 00:03:39 Algorithms & Echo Chambers 00:07:16 Facts vs. Story (Manipulation & Hype) 00:10:56 Self, Other, and Collective Narratives 00:15:29 Belonging, Shame, and Agreeableness 00:20:50 “First to Share” and Worthiness 00:24:57 Satya & Witness Consciousness 00:27:28 Language: From Truth to Spin 00:28:38 Victim Narratives 00:29:40 Why Old Stories Stick 00:33:17 Truth in the Present Moment 00:34:40 Teaching as Narrative 00:37:07 From Personal Story to Student Insight 00:39:40 Neti Neti & Ego Softening 00:41:07 Closing —-------—-------—- 📚 Mentions & Resources: Book: The Tipping Point — Malcolm Gladwell.  Yogic concepts: Satya (truthfulness), sakshi bhava (witness), neti neti (“not this, not that”).

    Ep #188: Addicted to Healing with Byron and Michael

    What if chasing “one more healing” is the very thing keeping you from feeling whole?? In this episode, Byron and Michael look at the fine line between helpful practice and healing addiction. They name the hidden driver—pain and disconnection—and how it can turn breathwork, plant medicine, and nonstop workshops into a spin cycle that never truly lands.  Byron questions the inner program of “I am broken,” and offers a reframe: protect your energy with gentleness, boundaries, and integration—letting insights settle before reaching for the next fix.  They contrast feminine healing (feeling, processing) with masculine commitment (clear intentions, follow-through), reminding us both are needed. Instead of digging forever, he suggests real-time healing: slow enough to notice what’s alive now, journal it, meet responsibilities, and return to it with honesty.  The heart of his message: stop outsourcing your power to healers or methods; claim your own change. If you’ve ever felt stuck in “just one more ceremony/class/session,” this conversation gently opens the door out. —-------—-------—- Episode Chapters: 00:00:00 Introduction 00:02:26 Addiction vs. Habit 00:05:31 Pain, Disconnection, and the Void 00:07:49 Dopamine, Sugar, Coffee, and Phones 00:10:27 When Healing Becomes a Spin Cycle 00:13:46 The “I Am Broken” Program 00:16:15 Gentleness Without Bypassing 00:18:08 Self-Talk, Journaling, Therapy 00:21:10 Ahimsa & Svadhyaya in Practice 00:27:03 Intention, Commitment, and Balance 00:28:36 Integration > Endless Doing 00:35:11 Real-Time Healing 00:39:31 Altered States vs. Slowing Down 00:41:07 Pedestals, Gurus & Claiming Your Power 00:44:13 No Finish Line; Keep It Human 00:46:10 Closing —-------—-------—- 📚 Mentions & Resources: Concepts: Samskaras, Ahimsa, Svadhyaya, Sankalpa, Shiva/Shakti; integration vs. overdoing; altered states (breathwork, plant medicine) Michael Henri’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelyoga.pt/  Byron de Marse’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/byronyoga/  Going Pro Yoga’s Instagram: https://www.instagram/com/goingproyoga/ —-------—-------—- Tags: healing addiction, integration, gentleness, boundaries, real-time healing, ahimsa, svadhyaya, samskaras, intention, masculine and feminine balance, plant medicine, breathwork, dopamine, nervous system, self-talk
