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...2022-04-1147 min

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...2020-12-0300 min

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.

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.2020-09-1159 min
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...2020-08-181h 10
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 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.

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...2020-05-041h 09
