    Anxiety Spiral? Kundalini Yoga Tools That Help

    Anxiety spiral? Daniela talks about the moment she puts on what she calls her crappy glasses, when she can only see what she's not doing right. She shares what Martha Beck's Beyond Anxiety says about creativity and anxiety, the online macramé course she took with her daughter during COVID, and the Kundalini Yoga meditations she keeps ready for when a spiral starts.

    From Resistance to Recognition: My Journey with Kundalini Yoga

    In 2004 I lost my youngest brother, moved from Venezuela to Spain and married Daniela. Grief came with me through all of it, and I spent a long time trying to outrun it. Then Daniela invited me to an early morning Kundalini Yoga sadhana. I complained about the hour, judged the white clothes, and almost walked out. I stayed, and during the chanting I started to cry. This episode is about that morning, about recognising that something matters before you understand it, and about not having to carry things alone. :::::: About Imagine Yoga Academy We are Pedro and Daniela, co-founders of Imagine Yoga Academy.

    How Do I Make Time for Myself? What Kundalini Yoga Taught Me

    How do you make time for yourself when everyone else always comes first? For Daniela Troconis, the answer started with Kundalini Yoga, and with admitting that "I don't have time" was a lie she had lived by for years. In this episode of The Imagine Podcast, Daniela talks about how putting yourself last starts as an emergency and ends up becoming the way you live. She shares what Kundalini Yoga gave back to her, why one class wasn't enough, and why she kept going with the Kundalini Yoga teacher training year after year. You'll hear about prana and the breath as a simple way to understand giving and receiving, why waiting for life to calm down rarely works, and the first sign that something is changing when you finally put yourself back on your own list. If you keep telling yourself "next year," this one's for you. ::::: About Imagine Yoga Academy We are Pedro and Daniela, co-founders of Imagine Yoga Academy.

    Why Do I Feel So Different After a Kundalini Yoga Class? The 5 Elements Behind the Experience

    Why do you feel so different after a Kundalini Yoga class, without being able to explain why? Why do you feel so different after a Kundalini Yoga class, without being able to explain why? Part of it starts in the posture itself, in what happens when it gets hard. This episode looks at the five elements at work in every class: asana, pranayama, meditation, mantra, and mudra, and gets specific about one of them, what a hard posture can show you about yourself once you actually pay attention. Pedro Misle tells the story of what he noticed, and what it changed. If you've ever left a class wondering what just happened, this episode gets you closer to an answer. 🎁 If Something in your life no longer feels right, even if you can’t name exactly what, we have a ⁠free gift for you!

    Kundalini Yoga and What My Disconnection Was Showing Me

    You know the job that looks perfect on paper, the one everyone says you're lucky to have, and still leaves you running on empty. Daniela used to run to make her eight o'clock Kundalini Yoga class after long days at a design job like that. In this episode, she talks about the year that class was the one thing that made sense, and about a disconnection from herself she didn't have a name for yet. Not a lesson on technique, just the story of what she was really looking for on that mat every night, and how Kundalini Yoga became her way back to herself. If you've ever wondered what you're actually looking for underneath everything you do, this one's for you. :::::: About Imagine Yoga Academy We are Pedro and Daniela, co-founders of Imagine Yoga Academy.

    How to Find Focus in a Distracted Mind: Dharana, Dhyana & Samadhi

    Most of us know what it feels like to be somewhere and not really be there, at dinner while thinking about work, listening to someone while already planning what to say next. In this episode, Pedro closes out the series on Patanjali's eight limbs of yoga with the final three: Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi, attention, meditation, and the quiet dissolving of the sense of "me watching this happen." He talks through what concentration actually looks like when you're bad at it (which is most of us), why meditation was never about having no thoughts, and what it means to notice an emotion before it makes your decisions for you. This isn't abstract philosophy. It's a practical look at where your attention goes every day, and what shifts when you start paying attention to that.

    Pratyahara: How Do I Find Peace When I Feel Overwhelmed?

    "How do I find peace when I feel overwhelmed?" It's one of the questions Daniela's students ask her most in one way or another in the Kundalini Yoga Trainings. In this episode of The Imagine Podcast, she answers it through Pratyahara, the fifth limb of yoga, often translated as withdrawal of the senses. Using the image of a tree, where all the visible beauty above ground depends entirely on roots no one ever sees, she explores what we're really feeding ourselves through what we watch, what we listen to, who we spend time with. Drawing on Patanjali's Sutras and a teaching from Thich Nhat Hanh, Daniela shares how gently gathering our attention back inward, and tending our roots instead of just our branches, can be the beginning of real peace. :::::: About Imagine Yoga Academy We are Pedro and Daniela, co-founders of Imagine Yoga Academy.

    Pranayama: The Fourth Limb of Patanjali a way to increase your energy

    This episode is about Pranayama, the fourth step on Patanjali's eightfold path, and why it's less about breathing technique and more about where your energy actually goes all day. Pedro Misle walks through why exhaustion is rarely about the work itself, why you have to know what's relevant in your life before you can manage your energy at all, and why honesty might be the cheapest thing you can spend all week. There's also a look at what the research actually says about slow breathing and your nervous system, and a short practice for the next time your mind is somewhere else while your body is sitting right in front of someone you love.
