On and Off Your Mat Yoga PodcastInclusivity, Accessibility, and Community in Yoga, with Robin LacambraDo you see yoga as social justice in itself? When you think of the meaning of yoga, does that directly invoke inclusivity and accessibility? I sat down with Robin Lacambra from GOODBODYFEEL to explore how to bring inclusivity, accessibility, and community into your yogic practice. We’re discussing why community and collective healing is the bridge between the inner and outer world, the power of embodiment, and how to set and pursue collective goals that mutually benefit – and are supported by – others.Get full show notes and more information here: https://erikabelanger.com/123...

Empowered EmbodimentKALAH HILL // Pleasure Applied Practice For Conscious LiberationIt is such an honour to close the first season of Empowered Embodiment and tie off 2020 with this conversation with Kalah Hill, Freedom Doulah, Pleasure Activist and Receptivity Alchemist. A few weeks ago, in a private conversation I had with Kalah, she said to me "Black Feminism will save the world," and at that moment I knew I needed to have Kalah on the podcast. We talk about the necessary role pleasure plays in liberation, the interconnectedness of our liberation and how our individual pleasures/liberation will look/mean/feel different for everyone. Listen closely as Kalah rhymes off...

Empowered EmbodimentThe Necessary Relationship Between Rage and Joy.I ramble about the urgent need for us to do the personal transformation work of emotional agility so that we can show up better in our relationships and our responsibility to the collective, to the planet, to the vulnerable.
I muse about the micro and macro relationships of bodies, personal wellness and interdependence - cells to the body, like individuals to the planet.
I reflect on how inspiring the peaceful demonstration by DefundHPS.com has been; camping outside of Hamilton's City Hall for over a week and creating programming that illuminates full-spectrum activism, bridging rage and joy.
I invite you...

Empowered EmbodimentOctober 2020 Tarotscope with Clairandean : Overhaul the ego.Clairandean is back with our October Tarotscope. We've got two full moons this month and a bunch of wild dances both in the astro-verse and in society. OUPH.
This time is asking us to renew our perspectives so that we can stay HERE - in whatever this is. Overhaul the ego so that you can, with agility and grace, create ease and connection in spite AND in service of the continued challenge.
YOU GOT THIS.

Empowered EmbodimentDANA REGAN // Reclaim your body, even the parts that you don't love.Dana Regan has been such a force in my life. I was enrolled in her Somatic Soul Coach school in 2019. The day I graduated, the pandemic landed. It was like my entire year learning with Dana was equipping me with the tools to ride the waves of this global topsy turvy. This conversation explores the importance of personal somatic work in service of collective liberation, embodied relationships and allowing our radical humanity.
This is such a juicy listen. Dana is so generous with her insights. Feel your feelings and experiment with what's possible when you just ALLOW.

Empowered EmbodimentSeptember 2020 Tarotscope with Clairandean : Stop. We all deserve rest.Clairandean (@clairitytarot) is back to give us a tarotscope for September 2020. The messages are strong and clear in this one - SCHEDULE IN REST. Rest will look different for everyone. Maybe it's one conscious cycle of clearing breaths. Maybe it's a weekend away. Maybe it's 30min a day. Whatever it is, cultivate the practice of prioritizing rest - giving yourself space to process, integrate, grieve, celebrate, acknowledge, grow, FEEL.

Empowered EmbodimentCAROLINE MANGOSING // We Don't Have an Identity Outside of a Colonized OneThis conversation is near and dear to me because it is so personal to my identity, healing and self-discovery. Growing up, I had so much self-hate and shame around my Filipinx culture of origin. Until I met Caroline Mangosing, as a young adult, and the incredible humxns she was in community with - many of whom remain chosen family to me. They helped me reclaim my culture of origin, be proud of my identity and help me on my journey of healing empowerment. I think this conversation is important because it highlights the insidious impacts of colonization across generations...

Empowered EmbodimentSARAH BARNHART // The Anxiety of Not-EnoughnessMy friend Sarah Barnhart joins me for a conversation about The Middle / The Grey Area / The In-betweens and Intersectionality of identity. Sarah shares her experiences of being mixed race and queer and the anxiety of not-enoughness: not being black enough, not being white enough, not being gay enough, not being straight enough. What once was the source of limiting anxiety, Sarah has been learning to resource this source for empowerment and okay-ness.

Empowered EmbodimentAugust 2020 Tarotscope with Clairandean : You're not suffering alone and it isn't always suffering.Clairandean (@clairitytarot) is back to give us a tarotscope for August 2020. Spoiler alert: it will still be a challenging time full of feelings. Clair nudges us to TAKE TIME to reflect on what our needs are, how we've been misunderstood (inner teen) and aspects of ourselves that have been abandoned (inner child). Give these conflicting or competing energies a voice and direction so we can advocate for what we believe in with confidence.
Break open. Feel. Build resilience and emotional agility. It's hard. You can do it. The universe is proud of you.

Empowered EmbodimentYou can't overcome what you won't admit is there.A quick Robin ramble about looking at your resistance. Our growth requires us to to bravely look at ourselves to unpack unconscious biases. Our collective liberation requires us to recognize what systems have been limiting us. Full spectrum feeling and multi-truths. You can be a good human AND cause harm unintentionally. And spoiler alert, you are.

Dianne Bondy is a social justice activist, author, accessible yoga teacher, and the leader of the Yoga For All movement. She has been loud about the intersection between wellness and social justice since 2011, becoming an "accidental activist" by inspiring many folks to find strength and resilience in their body regardless of size, skin colour, gender identity, ability, religion or any other marker that might be under represented in the wellness world.

The Business Of Teaching YogaRunning A Social Conscious Yoga Studio with Robin Lacambra of Good Body Feel Ep. 23Last week my guest Eliana Chinea spoke about some of the issues that arise in the typical yoga studio model - and inside of The Teachers Club we questioned weather the studio model, as we know it, will go extinct. It's true that studio after studio are closing their doors. Many of them were in real financial trouble before the pandemic, and the closures were the last straw. However, I believe that there will always be a demand for a place where people can gather in person, in community. And as past podcast guest Nicole Cardoza says, t...
