Welcome! Today you are going to .....
Face Your Fears.
Nathalie is excited to provide some insights that she has gathered on this topic over the past few months. Before beginning, she alludes to some forthcoming episodes that she is looking forward to sharing.
We hear about Nathalie’s recent trip to Colorado and how she has learned to face her fears there.
We all have things that make us uncomfortable, and Nathalie speaks to why it’s important to conquer them. Facing your fears brings excitement into your life.
A question that’s important to ask is, “what is your life’s work?” Nathalie suggests we write a mission statement for our life.
When we conquer our fears, we create a drive in our lives.
When we have a drive we don’t, we’ll loose momentum.
Do not be captive to your fears.
Nathalie discusses different fears that people have, and from her perspective advice for overcoming them.
In this episode Nathalie gives us a challenge and talks about her new book!
Beautiful music at the end of this episode from The Piano Guys.

You Are Your Authentic Brand

 
We all have our own brand.
It’s so far beyond just, for example, a logo. From Nathalie’s perspective, your brand is an expression and an extension of who you truly are, and that’s what this episode is about.
Hopefully, you have chosen your brand, and it has not chosen you; you are not riding along on a belief system that you have agreed to but is not yours.
In this episode Nathalie goes through ways that we can create from our own self, and while some of those methods may not always be comfortable, they will remove unnecessary energies that are around us. This allows us to get closer to our true self.
Once we do find the connection with who we are and discover what we want to share with the world, Nathalie encourages us to do just that.
We also hear about how relationships can change when we are finding out best self.

Your Are Your Authentic Brand by Nathalie Croix
 
I could tell you to look at others in your field and see what they are doing... I've heard this many times before.
I just don't believe in that.
Not only I have never looked at what other yoga studios are doing, I always went as far as not wanting to know. Not wanting our studio staff to tell me during teachers meetings etc...
The reason behind this is because I feel I am here on this planet to share from my own unique experience.
I want to be me.
As Oscar Wilde says " Be yourself; everyone else is taken."
You are unique and we need you exactly as you are.
How would you feel if everything was red in the world?
Boring.
Thank God, we have many colors ! Yay
That's your brand.
Your brand is you.
Everyday you express your brand. With the words you use, the clothes you wear, the colors you choose.
 
Your social media is an extension of you.
 Journal on these questions and ask yourself while creating your brand / logo / website, etc...
Who Am I ?
What are my favorite colors?
Favorite yoga practice ?
On the mat?
Off the mat?
What is your legacy?
What do you want to say to the world?
Who are the top three people who most inspire me from any walks of life ?
Why do they inspire me ?
Inspiration is very different than wanting to find out what a competitive business is doing so you can duplicate.
.... which many people do just that.
It's just not my way.
I disagree with that way, because It will not feel authentic.
I am here to ask you to think outside the box.
Authenticity is the most important because it is at the heart of your Soul.
Inspiration can lead you to who you are.
I believe the reason why we get inspired by some is because, they, or " it " are representing a version of ourselves and by seeing this in someone else or something else it is simply a reminder of who you are.
Like going back to source, soul family.
Here are some journaling questions for you....
What lights up your day?
What words better represent you?
Remember your favorite day on Planet Earth , how did that feel to you?
Can you go back to that feeling?
Create from that sacred space.
Create more scared places, experiences in your life.
Every day gives you the opportunity to discover yourself.
Use all of the above and create from this place of authenticity -
You will find your brand !
Once you do, please do us all a favor and share it with the world.
You will inspire others to become a better version of themselves.
Remember the world needs you exactly as you are.
Stay open to new ideas, stay open to growth.
As time passes your brand may change, evolve or even transform into A NEW YOU.
I have seen this many times.
Embrace it.
The only constant is change.
The people in your life who love you will allow you to become who you are at every moment in life, even if that means they have to set you free.
Not free in a way that you don't honor your commitments - no, not like that.
Above all I am loyal to my commitments.
See the more you allow someone to be who they are, the better they will show up for you. Not only they will show up as a better version of themselves but they will cherish you more.
If they truly love you they will welcome the new you and overtime they will begin to understand you more and perhaps even be inspired by you.
Maybe, just maybe, you will remind them of something so special and precious deep inside them that has been lost.
How beautiful life can be when we allow flow in our lives and the lives of those we love.
When that happens, don't be afraid to show up to the world as the new you.
Be you.
Change your logo if that's what feels right.
Change it as many times as you need.
Keep your feet on the Earth, as you look up to the skies.
 
Daily Exercise :
Look at the mirror / look at yourself for ten seconds and say out loud " I Am Beautiful"
 
Let your light shine !
 

#45 First Chakra - Foundation & Roots With Brooke Baudot & Nathalie

Today, Nathalie welcomes Brooke Baudot to the podcast for the first of a seven-episode series about chakras. The series begins with the Muladhara, or the root chakra.
Nathalie and Brooke chose to start with this chakra partly because it’s the first chakra that develops when we are born.
 
With so many ways to explain the chakras, Nathalie starts by asking Brooke how she would describe them. Nathalie gives a further explanation of what the purpose of chakras is and talks about how they regulate our energies and frequencies.
Nathalie and Brooke share the traits of Muladhara and symptoms that can be seen if there is a deficiency of this chakra. This ignites a discussion about affirmations, leading Brooke to read some of her favorite one. We also learn how to tell if we have a healthy first chakra.
The two also talk about ways to feel more connected to earth, such as earthing or simply having plants in your home. Nathalie teaches us that no matter what has happened, the past is the past, the future is not here, but what we have is right now.

#44 Endings As New Beginnings with Sonya Zhong

Our beloved studio Shanti Yoga Shala is closing.
Now what?
Sonya Zhong, part of the Shanti Yoga team, joins Nathalie today. She is a graduate of Nathalie’s training, does research and a blog contributor for the brand, and runs digital advertising campaigns. She is very proactive and is able to contribute with her abundant creativity.
Nathalie opened her yoga studio in New Orleans about seven years ago. In this episode, Sonya announces that the studio will be closing for the time being because of a variety of reasons. Nathalie and Sonya’s main discussion point for today is how the changing market and practice of yoga affects yoga teachers and studio owners.
We hear about how the studio was essential for Nathalie’s transformation as a yoga teacher and as an individual. It was a space where he met so many people, including Sonya, who now feel like family. She then reflects on the transformations she has seen her studio bring to so many people’s lives.
We talk about surrendering, dedication and commitment. 
In addition to talking about the factors that brought Nathalie to this decision, she also speaks to how she has found great fulfillment and success through her online program and workshops.
Nathalie provides detailed information about all of her offerings and how to get involved. This it not the end, it’s the beginning of new energy and new life!

#43 Ayurveda- Complete Wellness with Henri Folse

Today we spend time with Henri Folse, an Ayurvedic health counselor. He looks at the foods that people are eating and helps them make incremental changes to improve their diet. Henri also helps people change the way that they eat, which he considers to be as important as what they eat.
Henri explains what eating Ayurvedically consists of and how it makes eating more sacred. We hear about what he goes over with patients who come to Henri for consultations that he offers both in his home and on Skype, beginning with an assessment of their eating and sleeping routines. Henri also explains the background of Ayurveda to help newcomers understand it and its relation to yoga.
We learn about the three different doshas which are integral in Ayurvedic medicine: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Henri says that these doshas can go out of balance within individuals and that Ayurvedic medicine is used to bring them back into balance. He then talks about how Vata, Pitta, and Kapha are based on the five elements.
Henri talks in-depth about his Ayurveda program and says that it is not about perfection, but about doing little things that will bring you more health, balance, and wellness in your life. Ayurveda is very practical, and Henri works hard to make it accessible to the people that go to him for help.

#40 Being In Your Purpose With David Bianchi

David Bianchi - Hollywood actor and spoken-word poet.
He has appeared in over 90 professional and independent films.
David speaks about being a multi-faceted artist and about his soon to be released book. 
Nathalie & David met in third grade while attending Greengates School in Mexico city and later reconnected in Los Angeles, CA. 
We hear about how David was born with the genetic coding to be the artist and that knowing this allows him to excel in life; he says that people who aren’t in touch with their genetic or molecular gift often tend to coast in life. David talks about the process of discovering this gift and refining it. He also shares his tough school life, including being expelled from six high schools.
 
David’s book will be titled Pursue, Reach, Attain, Retain, Repeat and carries a significant message in its title to which he provides insight. The book itself is about looking at the stages of how to pursue our molecular-level gift and use it continuously. David then answers how to find out what our gift is and talks about when he realized he needed to make major changes in his life.
 David’s artistic mission is to effect people in a way that will leave them permanently changed. He wants to remind everyone that everything we need is within us. There’s nothing outside that will make us become wealthier and more spiritual people. It’s inside of us.
