Wow. This was freaking amazing! Digital detoxes, surfing, and a beautiful country? I was about to turn my auto voters off but had to upvote this! This was an amazing interview! Well laid out and presented!

wow amazing.

We are glad you thought so. x

lovely read and totally dig the Hamsa wall hanging /art....very cool symbol :)

That was amazing. Yoga sounds like the next best thing to try! x

@nabithecat I highly recommend it - it's the best thing you can start at your age! As you read, we were both not much older than you when we started. If you find the right person and the right yoga for you, it'll be a lifelong journey. It helps with everything!

What a gorgeous, playful, cosmic-sisterly-aligning global interview. I have one of those yoga slings in my very near future to help with bone and spinal issues... yay!!! Just waiting for my arm to be string enough to play! :) Lovely post and a lovely connecting.

Thanks @artemislives! The swings are awesome. A daily bat pose for me is about all I do on it, but hey, an inversion a day isn't a bad thing! It's right in the centre of my living room - coz I can! It was the FUNNEST interview. We could have talked for hours but we weren't sure if anyone would have read it!

Cosmic sisters indeed! Thanks for the lovely comment 😁 xxx

Great writing, gorgeous content, stunning concept and lucrative images. Thank you very much for such a nice post, I am amazed.

Thankyou kindly. We do pride ourselves here at Natural Medicine with producing quality posts. Glad you stopped by.

Wow that spectacular news, you take so special, feels freedom and flow, life in the atmosphere

This is such an awesome chat. i literally laughed out loud at the 'Yoga for fit is the gateway drug', its soooo completely true. I know so many people who got into it as an exercise and then found Pratyahara or another more engaging, inner facing, spiritual part of it and were just hooked. I think, its how it ends up becoming less of a workout and more of a way of life. :)
I also totally agree with the points you ladies are making on these different styles. I first was drawn to Yin yoga, as my former training was in qigong and I loved the connective tissue component to Yin yoga. How its less about the muscles and the stretching as it is about your deeper tissues and really sinking into those shapes, feeling them out fully and becoming them, really. As I study further to teach (focusing on Hatha and partially Iyengar) I'm learning that people can find rigidity in ANYTHING. Even Vinyasa, and its flowing nature, that allowing, the flow, comes I believe from the space you cultivate, the mind, and the breath, more than it does from the actual movements. You guys are spot on with exploring the creativity and expanding outward from the practice, I agree that is so important! That's what I really enjoyed most about this interview, how you both described what that process was really like for you. I think every yogi who really delves into the practice goes through that, and you both described it so nicely from your own experience.
Your space is beautiful, and I really LOVE your off-grid idea. I can imagine that a retreat like that would be super healing and connecting. Also, I ordered a yoga trapeze last week and I am super stoked to hang in the thing.

Also this - "I love the energizing feeling of all that blood rushing in and around your brain. It feels so healing and relazing, as well as being so energizing. I catch myself full of thought sometimes, and I release it because for an inversion you really need that discipline, that single pointed focus." Spot on. If my brain is cluttered, inversions are really tough. I save them for near the end of a session for that very reason.

Thanks for the awesome read. As always, I look forward to more yoga chat! :) <3

Wow, thanks for that amazing comment. We love your contributions to Natural Medicine and can't wait to interview you about your own process!

Kristaluton haa dedicated life to yoga and she is also earning from it. Great to know about her in the interview. @naturalmedicine

Thankyou for your comment, @gaurang!

I really enjoyed this! @kristalution that yoga retreat sounds blissful! I took 6 yoga classed a long while back and loved it. I fell asleep during the last 20 minutes of every class and that was somewhat embarrassing but I really enjoyed it otherwise.

It's been on my mind lately and I would really like to learn. Do you ladies recommend any specific videos or sources I could look into to learn at home yoga? I live too far from town for classes and we aren't exactly in a place that there would be good classes.

Hey, it's @riverflows here - @kristalution and @treeoflife might have some recommendations, but you know who's quite great for free yoga and very accessible is yoga with Adrienne, who is on youtube! Free and gorgeous and you can do a 30 day program with her.

Thank you @riverflows! I will check that out today!! :)
