Show Notes

What an exquisite conversation with yoga teacher and entrepreneur Lauren Verona weaving the spiritual and ascetic discipline of this ancient practice into today’s fast-paced world. We dive deep into the meaning of slowing down, creating daily disciplines and rituals all to truly master the art of being human. You are going to love this precious soul’s approach to being calm with a touch of wild!

“I think they said something to me on the weekend about me. They said mum, it’s very funny that you’re a yogi because you’re so calm but you’re so wild. And isn’t that the feminine though? This is what we need. And this is what we’re trying to teach them, that’s feminine. We’re chaotic women. Around the cycle we can go into ‘I just want to stay home in bed, just chill and just you know, read a book and eat chocolate…. to I just want to build an empire and take on the world!’ And I think that’s the feminine. And we need to recognise that we’re all of that in one month!” Lauren Verona

Lauren explains to us the history of yoga and how it was the one discipline that saved her from her frantic corporate career and personal and mental health concerns. She shares how yoga taught her to love herself and find her true self.

Lauren shares her meaning of self-love comes from one of the 10 guidelines of yoga – ahisma.

Ahimsa is an important spiritual doctrine shared by Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. It literally means ‘non-injury’ and ‘non-killing’. It implies the total avoidance of harming of any kind of living creatures not only by deeds, but also by words and in thoughts.

The practice of ahisma allows everyone to live their own path rather than try to point out or make suggestions. Helping other people is not ahisma. You can hold space, love and support. But more importantly shine your own light and embody self-love.

Lauren discusses the power of discipline which is known as ‘tapas’ in sanskrit and the importance of rituals and to make time every day to flirt with discovering YOU and to trust the journey.

Life is always teaching us, we need to regularly show up. Keep polishing it and make time to master every hour and polish it.
