| 8/27/26 |  Sadhana, Meditation and the Effortless Self | Satsang with Ritambhara | “Practice is knowing moment to moment that your only purpose is to be at peace.” In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend and fellow seeker, Ritambhara (Reta), to explore the heart of meditation and what it truly means to live from the unchanging truth of who we are.Reta has been on this path of sadhana and self-inquiry for 50 years, and she shares her lived experience and knowledge as our conversation moves from personal stories of friendship to deep yogic wisdom. We chat about why the external search for freedom so often leaves us feeling unfulfilled, and how sadhana returns us to clarity. If you’ve been mechanically going through your practice or wondering how to drop the struggle and anchor into real inner peace, this episode is a loving reminder that the freedom you're looking for is already right here.In this episode, we unpack:The Restless Search: Why travelling the world or achieving worldly success still leaves an inner longing, and how that restlessness leads us back to our true home.The Power of the Witness (Sakshi): Learning to shift identity away from the noisy, changing mind and rest in the silent Knower.Sadhana as a Way of Life: How practice isn't just something we do on a cushion or mat, but a continuous "dip" into purity that transforms how we navigate daily life.The Gift of Satsang & Good Company: Why gathering with other earnest seekers acts as a living field of support for your spiritual practice.Effortless Being: How to stop forcing spiritual experiences and start recognizing the peace that is naturally present when we surrender.Connect & Practice With MeIf this conversation inspired your path, I’d love to welcome you into my yog sadhana community:Join the Online Practice or Community memberships: Practice weekly or monthly starting at just $8/month!Upcoming Yog Sadhana Retreats:4 Days in Norway (This September!)

| 8/19/26 |  Orienting to True North: The Yogic Pursuit | Robbie Chesick | “There's a sweetness in Advaita non-dual teachings, right? There is this emphasis on the truth of freedom and...eternal, the eternal ever-present You. I mean, how sweet is that?” - Robbie Chesick Today I share a candid and reflective conversation with Robbie Chesick. Robbie is a lifelong meditator, by nature tropic to tuning into the hum of pure existence at the base of her sense of self. She is also a (recently retired) trauma therapist, a mom, a lazy poet, and a curious wanderer.We discuss meditation, nonduality, feminism, and how spiritual practice meets ordinary life. How can inquiry cut through the conditioning, politics, and ego? It's a delightful and light hearted conversation about the real "stuff" we deal with as humans just navigating our way. Robbie gives great insight into the approach and pursuit of the yogi from her 35 years of sadhana. Key topics: Satsang and the essential shared space of spiritual inquiry.Early questions about identity, the self, and what lies beyond surface reality.Robbie shares her formative journey in her early twenties, including travel through India, illness, danger, and the eventual decision to come to her brother and meet Swamiji.How spiritual realization can coexist with family life, work, parenting, and a public-facing life in the world.Inquiry should be applied everywhere, not only in meditation, and that the mind’s habit of either-or thinking can obscure more nuanced, intelligent action.The pressure to conform to tribal thinking, especially in wellness and yoga circles, and how fear of rejection can shape beliefs and behaviour.The forest wanderer phase of life reframed. Robbie distinguishes pure existence from personal identity, emphasizing that the goal is not to become anything other than what you are.I absolutely loved this conversation with Robbie, a wise friend and courageous yogi. She gives me inspiration to keep steadfast on this path as I meet and greet the many phases of life. I know she will give you something to consider as well in this thoughtful satsang space.

| 10/15/25 |  Unpacking Yoga's History With A Feminist Lens | Anjali Rao | "Question everything."Today, I welcome Anjali Rao, a yoga teacher and author, to discuss her journey into yoga, the cultural and historical contexts of yoga, and the themes of gender and caste within the practice. We delve into the representation of women and gender-expansive folks in yoga history, the impact of caste on yoga practices, and the importance of diverse perspectives in understanding yoga's role in modern society. Anjali emphasizes the need for curiosity, critical thinking, and the ability to hold paradoxes in our understanding of yoga and its teachings.Key moments from our talk; ➖ Caste and patriarchy significantly impact modern yoga practices.➖ Yoga is often misrepresented as a monolithic practice.➖ Diverse perspectives are essential for understanding yoga's complexities.➖ Curiosity and questioning are vital for personal growth.➖ Yoga can serve as a tool for resistance against societal norms.➖ The importance of community and dialogue in yoga practice.Find her new book, Yoga As Embodied Resistance: A Feminist Lens in Caste, Gender And Sacred Resilience in Yoga History, and join her upcoming reading circle HEREAnjali on IG HEREI really enjoyed receiving more contextual history and thought-provoking research presented by Anjali, and mostly her passion for sharing knowledge. I know you will take away something to contemplate in your positionality in the yoga world, as well as in your personal relationship with the broad and diverse teachings of yoga. in oneness, Bobbi Thanks for listening! 💭Support the podcast and join monthly satsangs at patreon.com/acuriousyogipodcast 💭 If you liked this episode, please leave a review – it really, really helps the show reach more people, plus I love reading each one. 💭 Share your biggest takeaway on Instagram stories @bobbipaidel 💭Join me in northern India for the Yog Sadhana Retreat Himalaya March 2026 bobbipaidel.com/himalayan-retreat 💭 If you’d like to chat about the show, be a guest, or practice together find me at bobbipaidel.com/connect 🙏♥️✨ | — | ||||||
| 9/25/25 |  Being A Humble Student, Yoga Retreats & The Inner Life | Yarmila Alfonzetti | "It's so scary to be nobody."In this episode, I’m talking with Yarmila Alfonzetti, one of Australia’s leading arts professionals, a mother, a wife, a friend, and, in the truest sense of the word, a curious yogi.Yarmila joins me with so much joy and openness to share her journey as a yogi. Together, we dive into themes of identity, ego, and what makes yoga retreats so special. She speaks about the gift of silence in practice, the experience of bliss, and how personal growth brings its own responsibilities. Along the way, we reflect on the wisdom of our many teachers and the transformative power of retreats, reminding us that yoga is truly a lifelong journey of self-discovery and deeper understanding.Here are a few of the nuggets we explore:➖ Accepting our inner seeking nature can be challenging. ➖ The ego can be a significant barrier to growth. ➖ Silence and meditation become more important as practice deepens. ➖ The path of seeking is often filled with challenges and fears. ➖ Morality and kindness are essential in the pursuit of truth. ➖ Yoga retreats offer space for real learning and personal growth.I loved this candid and spontaneous conversation with Yarmila. She mentioned that she always tries to be the best person in the room, and I believe she truly is.This chat really feels like sitting down with two friends, and I think you’ll feel that too.✨ Also, tune in to the intro for a special scholarship offer for our India retreat—open to one of our Curious Yogi Podcast listeners!In oneness, BobbiThanks for listening! 💭Support the podcast and join monthly satsangs at patreon.com/acuriousyogipodcast 💭 If you liked this episode, please leave a review – it really, really helps the show reach more people, plus I love reading each one. 💭 Share your biggest takeaway on Instagram stories @bobbipaidel 💭Join me in northern India for the Yog Sadhana Retreat Himalaya March 2026 bobbipaidel.com/himalayan-retreat 💭 If you’d like to chat about the show, be a guest, or practice together find me at bobbipaidel.com/connect 🙏♥️✨ | — | ||||||
| 7/22/25 |  Finding Freedom In Every Body with Adaptive Yoga | Rodrigo Souza | "When you experience trauma, your spectrum of grief grows…on the other side of the spectrum, it has as much joy as you are able to experience as well."In this powerful episode, I chat with Rodrigo Souza of Allihopa Yoga - from his living room in Malmö, Sweden. Rodrigo is the coolest yogi I’ve ever met, and more importantly, he lives yoga in every sense of the word. We delve into the profound impact of yoga on trauma recovery and spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation through his journey, illustrating how adaptive yoga can transform lives by fostering resilience and healing. Key Highlights:➖ “Life is not against you; you are enough”➖Yoga goes beyond physical postures; it’s about connection➖Curiosity keeps us alive and engaged in life.➖ How to empower students by offering agency in their practice➖ Grief and joy coexist on the same spectrum.➖Yoga should be accessible to everyone, regardless of ability➖Inclusive language enhances the yoga experience for all.➖”This is perfect, or this is perfect…” Connect with Rodrigo:Instagram: @allihopayoga Web: www.allihopayoga.com/Practice with Rodrigo: Yoga for Disabled Folks: Accessible & Adaptive Practices for those with Limited Mobility & Wheelchair Users a 10-hour online course With Rodrigo Souza on demand.https://www.accessibleyogaschool.com/yoga-for-disabled-folksI loved exploring the true essence of yoga with Rodrigo. We are aligned in our understanding of why stillness and meditation are emphasized, and Rodrigo shed light on the importance of reclaiming yoga from commercial biases and ableism for me.

| 5/23/25 |  The Yogi's Way | Reema Datta | “Consciousness is love, it is who I truly am.” Today I chat with celebrated yoga teacher and author Reema Datta who is on a mission to change that with her recent book The Yogi’s Way: Transform Your Mind, Health, and Reality, which offers a twelve-week self-guided course that empowers readers to break free from the destructive tendencies of their minds and experience lasting peace.Reema shares insights from her own sadhana and of course, her book, exploring the profound influence of family on her spiritual journey, the importance of inner peace, and the foundations of yoga practice. She emphasizes the teachings of Advaita Vedanta, the interconnection of service and spirituality, and the need for cultural sensitivity in yoga.Here are some highlights I took away with me; ➖The essence of yoga goes beyond physical practice➖The real teachings focus on mental purification, which requires meditation & contemplation➖Service & spirituality go hand in hand➖Cultural sensitivity is crucial in sharing yoga practices➖It's okay to mispronounce Sanskrit; focus on intention & authenticity ➖All-day yoga emphasizes breath awareness throughout daily life➖Yoga and Ayurveda work together for self-realization and healing➖Community & friends on this path are essentialVisit Reema online and join her 12-week Yogi’s Way Course Starting September 21st www.ReemaYoga.comBuy the book HEREConnect with Reema on IG @reemayogaI really enjoyed Reema's book and this beautiful conversation.

| 1/15/25 |  There Are No Yoga Hacks To Refine Your Mind | Prasad Rangnekar | “Be patient with your spiritual journey. I believe that when you stop looking at spirituality as one more project to fuel one’s ego it finds its own pace. Natural, effortless growth happens.” Another great, illuminating conversation with the ever generous, one and only Prasad Rangnekar. You may know him from his popular Instagram account with his 30 years of teaching and mentoring wisdom under his belt that he delivers in digestible, relatable nuggets. Today my intention was to “get deep” with Prasad and we definitely hit that for all you spiritually curious seekers out there. We discuss the real purpose behind spiritual work and the willingness to actually approach it with commitment, faith and dedication. Here’s what we touched on; ➖ “The end all be all of yoga is refine the mind” ➖ “We are co-creators, always impacted and intersected by different variables”➖ “You have to be willing to do the work, to go through the fire of tapasya”➖ “The world is not your cheerleader, it’s your audience”➖ Abhyasa, vairagya and viveka ➖ “The ideal Guru is not the fantasy you think it is” You can find Prasad on his IG page @yogaprasad_institute or on his website: prasadrangnekar.com This conversation left me remembering that this is a long game, the short wins may come but there certainly are no shortcuts to refining the mind and realizing the truth of who we are. Prasad sprinkles knowledge bombs in the form of epic one-liners throughout this episode and I know you’ll find some takeaways to contemplate in your own sadhana. in oneness, Bobbi Thanks for listening! 💭 Find the full show notes at bobbipaidel.com/podcast-s3-ep22-prasad-rangnekar💭Support the podcast and join monthly satsangs at patreon.com/acuriousyogipodcast 💭 If you liked this episode, please leave a review on Apple podcasts – it really, really helps the show reach more people, plus I love reading each one. 💭 Share your biggest takeaway on Instagram stories @bobbipaidel 💭Join me in northern India for the Yog Sadhana Retreat Himalaya March 2025 - 1 spot left! bobbipaidel.com/himalayan-retreat 💭 If you’d like to chat about the show, be a guest, or practice together find me at bobbipaidel.com/connect 🙏♥️✨ | — | ||||||
