One Sacred Pause

with jessica winderl

NORWAY’S FIRST YOGA + MEDITATION PODCAST

One Sacred Pause is the passion project of yoga teacher Jessica Winderl, and is the embodiment of what she considers to be the essence of yoga, meditation, ayurveda, and rituals, from the perspective of a wellness entrepreneur. This podcast provides a creative platform for radical self-inquiry, reflection, and the mindful observation of where commerce intersects with spirituality, through thoughtful conversations with forward thinkers in the wellness industries of Scandinavia and the US.

The light-hearted and upbeat “One Sacred Pause with Jessica Winderl” podcast launched early August, 2018, and is focused on the Scandinavian and US communities of yoga, wellness, and meditation, but is relevant to yogis all over the world. It is designed to bring real and raw dialogues about spirituality into the forefront of living our yoga off the mat and in our businesses.

Topics on the podcast range from ways to balance your personal practice with the demands of a modern society, to the realities of being a full-time yoga teacher, to logistical conversations about pricing, marketing, and positioning yourself in your market.

On this podcast, no topics are off-limits. Money, failures, successes, collaborations, and staying centered through it all are what we are all about!

Listen in on iTunes, Spotify, PodBean, and on the podcast website at www.onesacredpause.com.

Tune in every Thursday for a fresh dose of inspiring conversations!

Jessica and Kate discuss their ideas around what it means to be an entrepreneur operating from a place of feminine energy, what their experiences were like in the corporate world, and what it means to hold boundaries in our personal and professional lives. The conversation ends with a candid discussion around women's menstruation cycles, and how we change the narrative from our monthly period being a burden to becoming a celebration.

Jessica talks with clinical therapist and yoga teacher Elisabeth Lilja about power dynamics in positions of authority, trust, leadership, ethics, and how to keep our personal power. Elisabeth compares the rigid regulations and testing in the therapy world to the lack of regulations and standardization in the yoga world. What is yoga therapy? What do we do when a teacher or authority manipulates us, or their students? How do we hold ourselves, and others, accountable?
