It is available to listen to on itunes now! \nIt’s all come together really beautifully\, as the first guest was Charles Eisenstein. We have already recorded interviews with a number of people including Satish Kumar\, Samantha Roddick\, Bruce Parry\, Zerbanoo Gifford\, Hareesh Wallis and Annegret Affolderbach. With many more in the pipeline. \nOn this show we explore the weave between politics\, spirituality\, creativity and sustainability. The people\, projects and ideas we meet here are challenging the dominant world story and creating a beautiful future. We share a new interview every Thursday. \nThis show takes us out of the mainstream narrative\, into deep\, long\, authentic\, unedited conversations. Amisha sits down with our guests face to face so that we get that level of intimacy that you can’t get on a video call. We alternate every week between and a male and a female guest\, and over time we hope to bring real diversity to the show\, both in terms of people from different cultures and backgrounds as well as people that you have heard of and unsung heroes you have not. \nThis project has always been a labour of love\, something that we work on just because we know it’s important. This podcast is starting the same way. We really want this to be an advertising free space\, that disrupts the current model\, and focuses on people not products – the people on the show\, the people listening to the show and the people behind the scenes that make the show. And so we are launching a Patreon campaign that means we can be supported to make this by you\, the community\, if you enjoy the show and would like to make a monthly donation that would be wonderful. \n  \nLondon Launch Event – Thursday 30th November \nWe are hosting a little get together on Thursday 30th November at 7pm for those in London to celebrate the launch of the podcast – and more importantly to have an evening of beautiful conversations – as really this is the essence of the podcast. A space for deep\, intimate conversations about things that matter. \nCome and meet new people\, bring your friends\, bring whatever you want to drink and some food to share – and let’s co-create a beautiful evening. \nPlease RSVP here.

She taught me how to open up more and be in the moment. I loved how she created a space for the whole group to feel at home and safe. She really made me fall in love with Yoga. I will take her knowledge with me for the rest of my life. She is warm\, wise and lovely.” Aemilia\, Film Producer \n“Amisha is a gifted yoga teacher that shows her knowledge of both the spiritual and the physical side of yoga\, and teaches both brilliantly. This retreat was life changing and I still hear her voice singing mantras in my head!”  Paul\, Entrepreneur \nWith a love of yoga and meditation that has spanned over a decade\, Amisha Ghadiali’s own “burn out” led her to train as a teacher\, which in turn opened a giant rabbit hole into the mystical realms. Her classes are strong yet relaxing\, focused on clear alignment and moving from the heart. She has a calming presence and uses playful theming\, mantra and experience of exploring world wisdom traditions\, to leave her students with inspiration\, grounding and joy they can bring into their daily lives. \nAmisha is a 500 hour certified Yoga teacher after completing her advanced teacher training with Sianna Sherman\, and is a modern day priestess\, reiki master and intuitive energy healer. Her background is in politics and sustainable fashion\, and since 2006 she has been designing jewellery for her own label with the tagline “elegance rebellion.” She creates meaningful pieces such as malas for chanting\, made with precious gemstones. She brings all this awareness and her fascination with the relationship of our inner and outer worlds\, to her work. \nAmisha has used these practices in her own life to work with trauma including recovering from being run over by a pick-up truck. She has lived that typical stressful city life\, and found that bringing a soulful healthy approach to her every day made things much more rewarding and balanced. She recently founded Replenish\, where she leads retreats and works one-on-one through her mentoring programme to assist you in creating space to show up for yourself each day and to facilitate the formation of lifelong habits that will support and nurture your inner and outer connections. \nAmisha is also a writer and speaker on all aspects of conscious and green living. A big part of her ‘yoga’ is exploring how we relate to the world around us and embody our values.  She edited the collaborative book\, The Future Is Beautiful – A Collection from Think Act Vote\, coining the term Creative Activism and bringing together ideas and artwork from over two hundred contributors to inspire a brighter future. Her words have appeared in publications including The Huffington Post\, Rebelle Society & Ecouterre and she has spoken at events and festivals around the world such as TEDx Oxbridge\, Sunday Papers Live & Burning Man. \n\n\nTo Book: email takeamoment@amisha.co.uk  URL:https://amisha.co.uk/event/surf-soul-yoga-retreat-portugal/ LOCATION:Surfcastle\, Av. do Mar 186\, Ferrel\, Peniche\, Portugal CATEGORIES:Retreats ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://amisha.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Surf-Soul.png ORGANIZER;CN="Amisha Yoga & Meditation ":MAILTO:takeamoment (at) amisha.co.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20170327T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20170402T120000 DTSTAMP:20260508T231602 CREATED:20161204T143953Z LAST-MODIFIED:20161218T210156Z UID:4597-1490616000-1491134400@amisha.co.uk SUMMARY:The Heart of Transformation - Yoga Retreat in Bali\, Indonesia DESCRIPTION:THE HEART OF TRANSFORMATION \nBALI 2017 \nYoga .

They first bonded over nearly having the same name\, and then as their journeys unfolded found a mutual love and motivation towards the discovery of yoga as both dedicated teachers and students. They have spent time in India together visiting temples and deepening their practice and continue to inspire and compliment one another with their passion and curiosity to challenge themselves\, each other and their students towards growth. \n \nAbout Mischa: \n“The retreat was a sweet breath of fresh air. Mischa is a truly inspiring teacher who in four short days has helped me deepen my relationship to yoga and further the spiritual connection to my physical practice.” Loren\, Music Producer \n“I can’t express the transformation I experienced in both body and mind the retreat with Mischa.  She truly is an inspirational teacher.  What a blessing to have a whole week with her!  As a teacher myself\, I recognise the hard work and dedication that goes into these retreats and I can only say that Mischa has a true gift for sharing her strong\, soulful yoga in a way that truly connects you back to your root and to the universe as a whole.  I learnt so much about myself and about the beautiful gift that is Yoga.  Her energy is so nurturing and her passion and dedication to the practice shines through. I cannot wait for the next one! Thank you Mischa\, for continuing to inspire me on my journey.” Sally-Anne\, Yoga Teacher \n  \nMischa’s yoga journey began over a decade ago and slowly began to weave its way through her life; she is continually humbled and inspired by the potential of yoga to transform\, expand and heal and is devoted to sharing the practice with others.  She is a 500 hour trained teacher\, most recently finishing a 300 hour training with her teacher Sianna Sherman who is of enormous influence and inspiration to her. She has now stepped into apprenticeship with Sianna and assists on her workshops and trainings. Mischa has spent over a year in India studying\, practicing and visiting sacred sites and it holds a special place in her heart. \nHer teaching is heartfelt and creative with a deep focus on breath and alignment and a combination of strong steady flow and longer holds to both uplift and tap into the stillness. She practices both the Astanga Mysore method and Iyengar to support her asana practice\, but is most inspired to share the creativity of vinyasa and hatha flow which allow her the freedom to explore the infinite possibilities of the practice. She draws her understanding from a number of styles and traditions\, particularly inspired by the philosophy and practices of the Tantric lineage. Her classes are woven with philosophy\, myth and stories and include music\, chanting and ritual.  She is also influenced by her studies and training in the Priestess tradition and extensive travels to both Asia\, Indonesia and South America. \nMischa works with Ayurvedic Yoga Massage\, a beautiful combination of deep tissue massage with assisted yoga stretches and alignment\, and Reiki to support the physical and energetic healing process. She is also fully trained in Naturopathy and Nutritional Therapy which she integrates into her holistic approach in practicing and sharing the teachings and supporting individuals on their journey towards greater wellbeing. \nMischa is currently based in London teaching across some of the leading studios but continues to travel for study\, practice and teaching. Her teaching is passionate and knowledgeable\, her intention is to both challenge and restore\, holding a space for individuals to open\, reflect and absorb and you will be taken on a journey of self inquiry and unfolding. \n  \n \nAbout Amisha: \n“I came to Amisha’s retreat to learn more about the practice of YOGA. She taught me how to open up more and be in the moment. I loved how she created a space for the whole group to feel at home and safe. She really made me fall in love with Yoga.

They first bonded over nearly having the same name\, and then as their journeys unfolded found a mutual love and motivation towards the discovery of yoga as both dedicated teachers and students. They have spent time in India together visiting temples and deepening their practice and continue to inspire and compliment one another with their passion and curiosity to challenge themselves\, each other and their students towards growth. \n \nAbout Mischa: \n“The retreat was a sweet breath of fresh air. Mischa is a truly inspiring teacher who in four short days has helped me deepen my relationship to yoga and further the spiritual connection to my physical practice.” Loren\, Music Producer \n“I can’t express the transformation I experienced in both body and mind the retreat with Mischa.  She truly is an inspirational teacher.  What a blessing to have a whole week with her!  As a teacher myself\, I recognise the hard work and dedication that goes into these retreats and I can only say that Mischa has a true gift for sharing her strong\, soulful yoga in a way that truly connects you back to your root and to the universe as a whole.  I learnt so much about myself and about the beautiful gift that is Yoga.  Her energy is so nurturing and her passion and dedication to the practice shines through. I cannot wait for the next one! Thank you Mischa\, for continuing to inspire me on my journey.” Sally-Anne\, Yoga Teacher \nMischa’s yoga journey began over a decade ago and slowly began to weave its way through her life; she is continually humbled and inspired by the potential of yoga to transform\, expand and heal and is devoted to sharing the practice with others.  She is a 500 hour trained teacher\, most recently finishing a 300 hour training with her teacher Sianna Sherman who is of enormous influence and inspiration to her. She has now stepped into apprenticeship with Sianna and assists on her workshops and trainings. Mischa has spent over a year in India studying\, practicing and visiting sacred sites and it holds a special place in her heart. \nHer teaching is heartfelt and creative with a deep focus on breath and alignment and a combination of strong steady flow and longer holds to both uplift and tap into the stillness. She practices both the Astanga Mysore method and Iyengar to support her asana practice\, but is most inspired to share the creativity of vinyasa and hatha flow which allow her the freedom to explore the infinite possibilities of the practice. She draws her understanding from a number of styles and traditions\, particularly inspired by the philosophy and practices of the Tantric lineage. Her classes are woven with philosophy\, myth and stories and include music\, chanting and ritual.  She is also influenced by her studies and training in the Priestess tradition and extensive travels to both Asia\, Indonesia and South America. \nMischa works with Ayurvedic Yoga Massage\, a beautiful combination of deep tissue massage with assisted yoga stretches and alignment\, and Reiki to support the physical and energetic healing process. She is also fully trained in Naturopathy and Nutritional Therapy which she integrates into her holistic approach in practicing and sharing the teachings and supporting individuals on their journey towards greater wellbeing. \nMischa is currently based in London teaching across some of the leading studios but continues to travel for study\, practice and teaching. Her teaching is passionate and knowledgeable\, her intention is to both challenge and restore\, holding a space for individuals to open\, reflect and absorb and you will be taken on a journey of self inquiry and unfolding. \n \nAbout Amisha: \n“I came to Amisha’s retreat to learn more about the practice of YOGA. She taught me how to open up more and be in the moment. I loved how she created a space for the whole group to feel at home and safe. She really made me fall in love with Yoga. I will take her knowledge with me for the rest of my life. She is warm\, wise and lovely.” Aemilia\, Film Producer \n“Amisha is a gifted yoga teacher that shows her knowledge of both the spiritual and the physical side of yoga\, and teaches both brilliantly. This retreat was life changing and I still hear her voice singing mantras in my head!”  Paul\, Entrepreneur \nWith a love of yoga and meditation that has spanned over a decade\, Amisha Ghadiali’s own “burn out” led her to train as a teacher\, which in turn opened a giant rabbit hole into the mystical realms. Her classes are strong yet relaxing\, focused on clear alignment and moving from the heart. She has a calming presence and uses playful theming\, mantra and experience of exploring world wisdom traditions\, to leave her students with inspiration\, grounding and joy they can bring into their daily lives. \nAmisha is a 500 hour certified Yoga teacher after completing her advanced teacher training with Sianna Sherman\, and is a modern day priestess\, reiki master and intuitive energy healer. Her background is in politics and sustainable fashion\, and since 2006 she has been designing jewellery for her own label with the tagline “elegance rebellion.” She creates meaningful pieces such as malas for chanting\, made with precious gemstones. She brings all this awareness and her fascination with the relationship of our inner and outer worlds\, to her work. \nAmisha has used these practices in her own life to work with trauma including recovering from being run over by a pick-up truck. She has lived that typical stressful city life\, and found that bringing a soulful healthy approach to her every day made things much more rewarding and balanced.

This retreat was life changing and I still hear her voice singing mantras in my head!” Paul\, Entrepreneur \nAbout Mischa: \n \nMischa teaches a heartfelt practice with creative sequencing\, a deep focus on breath and alignment and a combination of strong steady flow and longer holds to both uplift and tap into the stillness.

She has lived that typical stressful busy london life\, and found that bringing a soulful healthy approach to her every day made living in the city much more joyful\, rewarding and balanced. This inspires her to teach in London and offer retreats and workshops for a deeper experience. \nShe is a reiki master and intuitive healer who works with clients to clear blockages for greater freedom and empowerment. Amisha has been designing jewellery for her own label with the tagline “elegance rebellion” since 2006 working with semi-precious stones.

The nine forms of the goddess that are honoured over this time\, are nine different forms of this energy that we each have in us. \nJoin me for a yoga practice based around tapping into the spirit of the Goddess Druga within through asana\, mantra\, mudra\, pranayama and meditation. \nSet in a beautiful private home\, spaces are limited. Book your place here. \nHere is a blog post I wrote a couple of years ago about Navaratri \nNavaratri – Honour the Goddess Energy Within URL:https://amisha.co.uk/event/navaratri-yoga-celebration-goddess-durga/ LOCATION:Shiva In The Sky\, Highbury\, London\, N5 1BA\, United Kingdom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://amisha.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Maa-Durga-Pics-1200x800.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Amisha Yoga & Meditation ":MAILTO:takeamoment (at) amisha.co.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20160930T193000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20160930T220000 DTSTAMP:20260508T231602 CREATED:20160927T154821Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160927T155843Z UID:4457-1475263800-1475272800@amisha.co.uk SUMMARY:New Moon Ritual - Black Moon in Libra DESCRIPTION:Come and gather for the New Moon this Friday night. This one is a black moon\, as it’s the second new moon in one month. In the UK\, the exact point of the moon is 1.11 on Saturday morning\, so we will gather and set our intentions just before it hits this point. This month has been a very powerful month of transformation\, and part of our gathering will be sharing stories. \nThis is a new moon in Libra which connects “through the realms of ideas\, relationships and interactions. Libra’s symbol is the scales of justice. It is a sign that seeks balance\, harmony and equality. Libra wants us to remember that connected to one another\, we are greater than the institutions that want to keep us separate.” \n\nA new moon is the start of a new cycle\, a powerful time to gather in community and set intentions so that we can move into this cycle empowered with grace and clear intentions.\n\nI have been tuning in with the moons cycles for a few years now\, after realising that I was being effected by the different energies of the ever changing moon\, it became empowering to understand what was happening so I could evolve with the moons cycles rather than against them. We know the moon affects the tides\, and we are made mostly of water\, so it can impact us more than we realise.\n\nA ritual is coming together in sacred space\, so we can really honour the moment that we are in. I love making a fuss\, and pulling together different things we can do to fully show up for it. This is my kind of party. I bring together the work of the priestess\, with yoga\, mediation and intuitive energy healing.\n\nFor this new moon\, we will share\, chant\, meditate\, set intentions\, move our bodies and close with a group healing savasana.\n\nIt’s pay as you like. Register here to reserve your place and for full address details.\nI changed it from cash donations\, to paying online as I have had a few no shows recently and we have limited space for these events.\n\nSign up – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/new-moon-ritual-black-moon-in-libra-tickets-28190170559 URL:https://amisha.co.uk/event/new-moon-ritual-black-moon-libra/ LOCATION:Shiva In The Sky\, Highbury\, London\, N5 1BA\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Meditation,Ritual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://amisha.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/new-moon.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Amisha Yoga & Meditation ":MAILTO:takeamoment (at) amisha.co.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20160923T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20160925T170000 DTSTAMP:20260508T231602 CREATED:20160905T102325Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160905T102325Z UID:4449-1474617600-1474822800@amisha.co.uk SUMMARY:West Lexham Convergence DESCRIPTION:I am looking forward to sharing and taking part in this. \nWe have made the perfect micro festival to bring together those who want to explore the deeper aspects of life and optimise their wellbeing.
