The Yoga Frequency Mike SD

In this episode, I sit down with one of my favorite yoga teachers and long-time friend, Jenn Richardson. Jenn's name kept popping into my head while I was brainstorming who I would be excited about having a conversation with after a fairly long hiatus from the podcast. Hear us talk about her current yoga and martial arts practices; the crazy events 2020 has thrown at us; living with a service mindset; and even communications with the spirit realm. Jenn truly embodies the practice, and I am excited to share our "catch-up" convo with you. Enjoy!

In this episode, Jenny and Mike sit down with MC Yogi and Amanda Giacomini to discuss MC Yogi's newly released book "Spiritual Graffiti" and Amanda's 10,000 Buddhas art initiative (see below for links to both). The group discusses MC Yogi's writing process and what it was like to revisit the past when writing about his life. We talk about some of the topics that stirred difficult memories, including the loss of the couple's dog. The conversation progresses to cover Amanda's achievement of reaching her milestone of painting 10,000 Buddhas and the inspiration that birthed that project. The group also talks about where MC Yogi and Amanda are focusing in terms of their yoga practices; Buddhism; and dogma in the yoga community. 
As a side note, you'll likely here some music in the background as the interview took place at Bhakti Fest 2017. Not to worry, though, it does not interfere with hearing the conversation. We hope you enjoy!
Namaste,
Mike and Jenny

In this episode, Mike & Jenny speak with kirtan artist Adam Bauer about the origins of his spiritual practices, which led him to a life of renunciation at an early age. The conversation provides a primer on using mantra as a spiritual practice and some of the challenges that can arise when turning inwards. Adam also discusses the many years he spent playing bass for sacred chant pioneer Krishna Das and Bhakti Yoga legend Shyamdas. In the latter half of the podcast, we discuss how Adam branched out into leading sacred chants and recording two solo albums including his upcoming release Wonderville (available for purchase here - https://iamadambauer.com/wonderville/).

On a recent trip to Belize, Jenny and Mike had a chance to sit down with MC Yogi and his wife Amanda to pick their brains on MC Yogi's music and a range of yoga-related topics. We discuss MC Yogi's early exposure to hip hop music and perspectives on individuality. The interview also includes discussion about the positive influence of yoga in the couple's lives; their experience practicing with power yoga pioneer Larry Schultz; dealing with physical injuries; and staying the course with your yoga practice through challenging times. We hope you enjoy this talk with these two amazing teachers.
