wellness industry

| Digital Colonialism and Dharmic Entrepreneurship |

This final episode in the decoloniality series delves into issues of algorithmic bias, digital colonialism, and advocates for a shift towards Dharmic Entrepreneurship as a more ethical and inclusive business model.

This episode covers:

╰┈➤Algorithmic Inequality:
Highlighting inherent racial bias in algorithms affecting visibility for BIPOC business owners in the wellness industry. I address censorship and the extra effort required for BIPOC to be seen on platforms.

╰┈➤ Digital Colonialism:
Drawing parallels between the internet and real-world systems of harm.
Emphasising the role of power structures and biases in shaping online narratives.

╰┈➤ Dharmic Entrepreneurship:
Emphasising ethical business practices based on dharma, giving back to the living culture, and preserving its knowledge and wisdom.

╰┈➤ Sanatana Dharma & Community:
Inviting listeners to join a native dharmic community that is focused on uplifting and supporting each other.

Getting stuck in a rut happens to all of us! In this month of practices we have been focused on growth, but one of the biggest challenges we all face is returning to ourselves when life trips us up.

Join Patrick and Carling for a conversation around this month's theme in Commune Online, join us for classes this month by visiting www.communeyogastudio.com

May’s studio theme is all things GROWTH & EXPANSION 🌀

Because as much as we know we can’t control it all - it’s also comforting to stay rooted in the truth that we grow what we sow. And there is something truly magical about watching your hard work and devotion bear fruits.

In this month’s classes you can expect the tangible, literal growth that can happen within a single practice, as well as continued repeated patterns from teachers classes over the whole month to experience new perspectives on a familiar task week by week. Get excited for a month full of:

• Peak Pose Practices
• Ladder & Mandala Flows
• Soft, Expansive Yin Yoga
• Functional Freedom
• Backbends & out of the box movement
• Expansive Breathwork

With all this on the horizon, we want to know what GROWTH means to you!

📝 Does growth always mean something BRAND NEW? or can it also mean embracing where/when/how you are?

📝 Can we become more aware of our efforts and where we place them?

📝 What does a GROWTH MINDSET mean to you?

As always, you can download your May Practice Calendar on the first class pages of this month. 

Don’t forget to listen to or watch the introductory podcast episode that drops this week where we chat more in depth on what the classes this month have in store for you!

The pace at which we practice yoga asana creates the framework for how we feel and connect to the moment just as much as the poses we choose to move through. In this episode Carling and Patrick chat about their journey's into various forms of yoga and how their practices have evolved over time.

While there are many optimal ways to live life some of them can feel very unpractical or unattainable. In this episode Patrick and Carling discuss there method for building good habits and patterns in daily life. Laugh through this conversation with us as we make a series of absurd off the cuff references and pull it all together to (hopefully!) help you find steps forward bringing more mindfulness into developing routines you enjoy!

When I saw Gwyneth Paltrow was featured on Dr. Will Cole’s podcast The Art of Being Well, a show that I enjoy and respect, I was anticipating a lively and educational conversion. Instead, I was alarmed by the comments that the Goop “wellness guru” made about fasting, nutrition, and aging. 

In today’s episode, I unpack the routine that Gweneth Paltrow described on The Art of Being Well and highlight how her habits reveal a darker side of the wellness industry. I share my personal approach to chasing better outcomes than my ancestors, including how I work on supporting a healthy immune system, optimal mind, and strong body. 

I find most women are chasing the image of their younger selves, and I’ve even found myself doing the same thing. But when I bring my focus back to the present moment and who I am today, this is where the real wellness journey is happening. I want to encourage you to block out the unrealistic standards and airbrushed photos that wellness “experts” sell to us, and instead  feel the power that is rooted inside of you and allow yourself to express it out in the world. 

Listen in to hear my reflection on the current wellness industry trends and influencers.

Welcome to a new month on Commune Online! Here we are rolling right into spring with a focus on moving new energies into our practice.
The sun is shining, birds are chirping, and it’s time to start defrosting from the winter chill. This month, we’re shifting our focus to the inner needs of clearing our new space and starting fresh. It’s time for a little SPRING CLEANING 🐣

If our practice and our inner landscape is to be our home, our hope is to make it a place we want to live. To have enough space, nourishment, fresh air, and comfort that there is no where else we’d rather be.

but, carving out enough space? Sweeping the dusty corners? clearing the cobwebs? putting fresh food in the fridge? wiping down the windows to let the sun shine in? THATS THE WORK.

So this month will be multifaceted, largely living in the YOGA realm (especially compared to last month!) classes will offer cleansing breathwork & kriya, sweeping perspective shifting inversions, vinyasa challenges that ask you search for presence, fresh flows to let in new light, and soft landings to put your feet up (literally & figuratively) to rest after a satisfying deep clean.

Content Warning: adolescent suicide and ideation are briefly discussed

Dr. Lisa Damour returns to Go Ask Ali to share her new book The Emotional Lives of Teenagers: Raising Connected, Capable, Compassionate Adolescents. She has written this book for parents and other caring adults to help teens when so many are struggling and there aren’t enough therapists to go around. She dispels myths about their powerful emotions and offers clarity on what they want and why. She also addresses risk taking, curfews, intuition and safety, gender and race differences, the crucial importance of SLEEP, and one of the most polarizing issues around raising teens - to track or not to track? And if you’ve wondered why your teen suddenly wants to talk right as you’re about to fall asleep, you’re not alone (and she knows)!

If you have questions or guest suggestions, Ali would love to hear from you. Call or text her at (323) 364-6356. Or email go-ask-ali-podcast-at-gmail.com. (No dashes)

How to know who really knows and who just pretends to know? What are the dangers of being misguided and what devastating effects it could possibly have on your life? How to avoid the common traps on any spiritual journey? Tune in, we are going to talk about it…
