The Yoga Podcast #8 – From Corporate World To Yoga Teacher: Jessica Blanchard
The post The Yoga Podcast #8 – From Corporate World To Yoga Teacher: Jessica Blanchard appeared first on Claudia Yoga - Ideas From a Yogi Entrepreneur.
I met Jessica while daydreaming of leaving the corporate world around 2005/6. She was a resident teacher at Yoga Thailand, a great place in Ko Samui led by Paul and Jutima Dallaghan. I was a stressed out worker who did not enjoy the cubicle life.
But Jessica had been in the corporate world too. And that is what attracted me to read about her, because I thought if she could do it, maybe I could too…

It seems to me Yoga choose Jessica rather than the other way around.… Read the rest

How My Life Changed In 6 Months Because Of The Idea Machine
The post How My Life Changed In 6 Months Because Of The Idea Machine appeared first on Claudia Yoga - Ideas From a Yogi Entrepreneur.
The photo below is form last week.
Speaking at Arnold Worldwide
It is a bit dark as James took it with his phone against the light from the windows in downtown Manhattan… It was a huge conference room. There were 30 people in a semi circle around me.
Arnold, a huge advertising agency out of Boston (with clients like Progressive, Hershey’s, Santander, etc) invited me to give a talk about Hispanic culture (17% of the population of the USA is Hispanic), creativity, idea machine, and idea sex.
I know nothing about advertising.
Heck, I know very little about everything!
But I do know about coming up with ideas.… Read the rest

Did I Marry James Altucher Just For The Money?
The post Did I Marry James Altucher Just For The Money? appeared first on Claudia Yoga - Ideas From a Yogi Entrepreneur.
Yes, no, maybe, I don’t know… YES I KNOW! Of course I know the answer to that question.
Someone wanted to know.
I will say one thing:
After paying the rent for many a boyfriend before I met James, when the time came and I was finally ready and clear on what type of relationship I wanted (the type that would be real and solid) money WAS a factor.
Yes it was, as it should be for anyone considering a life-time partnership.
That being said, money is never the real decision maker if you want THE REAL THING… At least in my experience.… Read the rest

Yoga: Last Friday’s Practice Video in 5 Minutes
The post Yoga: Last Friday’s Practice Video in 5 Minutes appeared first on Claudia Yoga - Ideas From a Yogi Entrepreneur.
I’ve been practicing yoga since 2000. But I committed to a DAILY – Non Interrupted Practice on April of 2007.
That means my practice has just turned 8 years old… Happy birthday dear practice, I am eternally grateful to you.
When this time of the year comes around I honor it with a YouTube video.
I set the mat, and then put the camera to take one photo every 4 seconds. Then I make it into a fast video. It is mostly for me, to see the progress, to see what happens, and for fun.
This year I finally got to add the pranayama portion at the end, which I’ve been doing since last July.… Read the rest

Yogis Need Money Too – Here Is How To Make It
The post Yogis Need Money Too – Here Is How To Make It appeared first on Claudia Yoga - Ideas From a Yogi Entrepreneur.
I learned more from listening to this interview than in a zillion years of school. And I learned about what is real. About how money works in the real world.
I especially love the ending where his son makes a mistake and deletes a whole major movie film (at a big studio) – He calls his father (Mark) desperately, and Mark gives him advise… You will be amazed at how that all worked out. And by the way, HERE IS PART II
I believe there should be no starving yoga teachers. Learning how to make money and how to run a business is part of working yoga off the mat.… Read the rest

Click the graph to enlarge and print so you remember the tips to release weight.
This goes together with a post I wrote a few weeks ago with 11 tips to help when it comes to finding our optimal weight.
This except comes from the first point:
Think about this:
If you tell yourself that you want to “loose” weight…
What happens in general… In life… when you “loose something“?
You have to… FIND IT!!!
Right?
What would be the point of loosing something that we are pre-programmed to “find” again?
Instead think of it this way: I AM READY TO “RELEASE” WEIGHT
See the difference?… Read the rest
