    YTTY5: Katherine Mair, MAD Mindworks

    Hello and welcome to the Yoga Teachers Talking Yoga podcast! Today we talk with Katherine Mair, yoga teacher and executive coach and mentor from MAD Mindworks. Katherine’s  approach and work in corporate wellness and career coaching weaves ancient yoga practices to psychology and neuroscience, in a way that a modern audience can understand.   Indeed, I myself have benefitted from Katherine’s guidance on finding your value and realising what it can bring to the world.  Indeed, this podcast is one such outcome! Note:  References in the discussion to the IYTA relate to the International Yoga Teachers Association, a forerunner of yoga in Australia.  For 57 years, they taught and supported yoga teachers across Australia.  Sadly, the IYTA ceased its operations in 2022.

    SEASON 1 TRAILER

    Yoga Teachers Talking Yoga - Introducing our Guests

    Hello, I’m Yogi Paul and here to present a new podcast we’ve called  Yoga Teachers Talking Yoga! In this new 6-part series of interviews, we’ll talk to yoga teachers both established and emerging.   Our first interview with Liz Kraefft of Ku-ring-gai Yoga will be released on the 26th of January, with the second and third interviews within the following week, and subsequent interviews on a weekly basis. You’ll find our interviews down to earth and fun! It was a delight to reveal their real life stories on getting into yoga, becoming teachers, what inspires them, what they’ve been doing and what the future holds. Teachers like Liz, Katie and Katherine have been actively teaching for 20-plus years.  Whilst the three of them have lectured with the IYTA on various aspects of yoga, Katie has also authored books, Katherine has combined yoga with executive and career coaching, and Liz has built her own flourishing business around various aspects of Hatha yoga, meditation and yoga nidra. I studied my own IYTA diploma course in 2021 with Imasha Silva who has since started Sati Yoga, which provides a space for her students to develop a deeper realisation of themselves. Karolina Freeman is a powerhouse of innovation and ideas!  She’s starting multiple businesses, teaching yoga and developing courses such as Wilding Women.  All that whilst raising three boys!  Julian is a modern day polymath!  Apart from yoga teaching, his vibrant energy and curiosity has led him into the corporate world, competing in gruelling triathlons and now an author making ancient Sanskrit accessible to the today’s world. Each guest was enthusiastic and willing to share their stories and experiences combining to become a collection of unique perspectives and insights.   Their stories will be enjoyable to those who personally know them, will resonate with other yoga teachers and really anybody else who has embarked on similar journey of self-discovery and fulfilment. It’s been rewarding and very exciting to put them together now for you to enjoy!
