The Urban Yogi Podcast

Becca Tzigany at venusandherlover.com!has written poetry and prose all her life. For eight years she was a regular contributor to the avant-garde literary magazine, The Writer’s Cramp. She has written copy for newspapers in the service of environmental activism and travel articles for the magazine International Living. She has two novels in the works (A Country Named Rebecca, The Highest High) which were shoved to the back burner by the Venus and Mars project.As a teenager living in a Greek village, she would wonder about the mythological characters in the nighttime sky, a fractal echo of her future work. Her lifelong spiritual quest has led her to apprentice under Christian ministers, a Hindu Brahmin, Native American shaman, Zen Buddhist nun, and Indian yogi. In turn, she has taught meditation and led workshops in the healing arts and Tantra. Through her world travels and first-hand experience with several spiritual traditions, Tzigany gained insight into the psychological impetus behind mythology and the cultural expressions of relationship. As a vagabond adventurer and merchant, she chose to linger amid the cultures of Mexico and Guatemala, the Caribbean, Canada and the US, Brasil, Morocco, Greece, Italy, and Hawai’i. With a resumé that runs the gamut from teacher to organic gardener to handicraft peddler, she considers her most important job to be that of mother. Becca says, “For years I have devoted myself to the cause of world peace, knowing full well that the only thing we can really change is ourselves. In raising my son I have been able to practice love as a verb more than a noun. He has mirrored to me my fears and hopes, as well as those of the world. More than ever I know that with love, all things are possible.”Meet Becca: Poet, writer, mother, partner. Environmental and community activist, relationship counselor, Transformacional Breathwork therapist, ceremonialist, ecstatic dance facilitator, doula (birth coach), meditation teacher, event coordinator, translator and cultural interpreter, yogini, Tai Chi practitioner.Education: BS in International Studies, BA in Spanish, Reiki Level II, global travel.

https://troycasey.com/ Our guest, Troy Casey, has become one of the world’s leading longevity authorities and the “Certified Health Nut.” He’s worked with indigenous tribes in the Amazon as a medicine hunter, studied the ancient Vipassana Meditation technique Ashtanga Yoga, and worked closely with Paul Chek at the world-famous C.H.E.K. Institute. He has since successfully restored physical, mental, and emotional balance to clients who have failed with all other systems using a unique, simple, and nature-informed holistic approach that anyone can follow. And, honestly, if you want some indication that this system works, look at some pictures of Troy – it’s nuts that this guy is in his 50s. Today, Troy’s work goes a step beyond biohacking your own body and mind. He has a grand vision for co-creating a world with clean air, water, soil, and equitable systems for all mankind in his lifetime – something he believes is absolutely attainable. To complete the mission, though, we need two things: a complete systems change that values creativity over competition, in every area of life (energy, agriculture, commerce, media, government, etc.), and a collective rising of consciousness to support the new systems.So, are you ready to rise up and join Troy in his campaign to improve the world? If you aren’t now, I think you will be after hearing him talk. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
