Being with The Garden of Earthly Delights - PART 3 of 3
We're sharing a three-part video conversation from between Victor and Blake about 16th century painting The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch. Where other commentaries on this incredible painting refer to the stunning detail and premonitory themes, Victor approaches the painting largely through the lens of inner transformation. Victor and Blake explore this painting in-depth and touch on the Bosch’s method and style and the more straightforward social commentary on display, but they also chat about what the artist may have been communicating about our internal world and process. These were originally recorded in 2021.

In and Out of Form
This episode is a true exploration, with no pre-selected topic, we were free to consider what was fresh. We journey through our tendencies to see, follow, and repeat forms, living in these body, digesting what we are learning rather than grasping a "take away" meal, making yoga (or anything) your own, receptivity, the masculine's most important work of supporting the feminine, an attitudes about practice at different stages of life. I hope you find nuggets of wisdom that you can take in and digest to fuel your own inner explorations.

Inevitably, Eftalou
This episode is all about Greece, the island of Lesvos, and the valley of Eftalou and how in the world Angela and Victor landed there in the first place. As many students of A&V know, the duo has been teaching workshops from Greece for decades, but the winding story about how that dream became a reality is full of mystery, a castle, a very particular light, roman coins, eroding olive groves, earthquake architecture, and a called-off wedding. It's a great story. Visiting A&V in Greece hasn't been possible through the global pandemic, but they have announced fall workshops. See the links below for details.

Taking the body to its limits... or not
In this episode we talk about sports, Olympic athletes, and embodiment for achievement at high levels, the limits of our anatomy, whether or not a structured practice is useful, and so much more. This conversation was something different entirely than what I had planned, and it is one of my favorite conversations with A&V yet.

Space is the Place
In another episode full of deep wisdom worthy of a relisten, Angela and Victor talk about the importance of finding space in our bodies and in our lives and learning to fill that space with more resourceful and alive parts of ourselves. Jumping off directly from our last conversation about Healing, feeling interior space is a central aspect to the healing journey and a friend for our preparations for death. *Pardon the squeaky fan and it's interaction with Zoom technology. ---------------------------------- Links: Info about Angela’s Zoom series in September/October 2021 is available on the ‘Products’ page of their website or directly here (https://everymomentprecious.com/shop/?v=402f03a963ba). The title of this episode comes from a signature line and song title of legendary intergalactic jazz musician Sun Ra. Here's one of my favorite clips of music where he completely deconstructs Billy Strayhorn and Duke Ellington's "Take the A Train" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k341z3dsXy4). It's wild. Talk about space! ---------------------------------- Find out more about Angela and Victor at angela-victor.com (http://www.angela-victor.com/) Find out more about Blake at blaketedder.com (http://www.blaketedder.com/) | blake@blaketedder.com (https://msilto:blake@blaketedder.com/) | @nohighwaycowboy (https://twitter.com/nohighwaycowboy) on Twitter Music: Siddartha Corsus "Ta Da!" from freemusicarchive.org (http://www.freemusicarchive.org/)

Our Own Power to Heal
In this rich episode I ask Angela and Victor to help me understand what we have to heal and what healing is anyways. If you have found yoga to be a healing practice for you, if you've had trauma(s) in your life, or if you're just curious about a deeply gentle and personally empowered healing practice looks like, you will enjoy this episode. You may want to listen to this one a few times. I know I will. *Pardon the squeaky fan and it's interaction with Zoom technology. ---------------------------------- Links: Info about Angela’s Zoom series in September 2021 is available on the ‘Products’ page of their website or directly here (https://everymomentprecious.com/shop/?v=402f03a963ba).

[Meditation] Presence, Grounding, and Coming Alive (Angela)
Join Angela for a deep and gentle grounding practice that will help you slow down and find aliveness right here in your body in the present moment. This was recorded in 2011 in Chapel Hill, NC. A special thank you to Molly Drake for organizing this workshop and many others. Molly is the reason so many of us in our area got to know A&V. She's an awesome guide for inner explorations and leads online classes at mollydrakeyoga.com. ---------------------------------- Info about Angela’s upcoming Zoom series beginning September 9 is available on the ‘Products’ page of their website or directly here: https://everymomentprecious.com/shop/?v=402f03a963ba ---------------------------------- Find out more about Angela and Victor at angela-victor.com (http://www.angela-victor.com/) Find out more about Blake at blaketedder.com (http://www.blaketedder.com/) | blake@blaketedder.com (https://msilto:blake@blaketedder.com/) | @nohighwaycowboy (https://twitter.com/nohighwaycowboy) on Twitter Music: Siddartha Corsus "Ta Da!" from freemusicarchive.org (http://www.freemusicarchive.org/)

Heads or Tails (...always tails)
In this exploration we talk about tails -- a centerpiece of their teaching. Building off of our last episode where we talked about developing our observation of the natural world and bringing natural imagery into our practice, we dig deep here and talk about one of the concepts that makes their teaching so real and dynamic and different: the energetic and imaginative side of yoga. By accessing our tails (and our roots) and learning to “try on” different tails, we can open whole worlds inside ourselves and gain new perspectives on our yoga, on being human, and in our lives. ---------------------------------- Find out more about Angela and Victor at angela-victor.com (http://www.angela-victor.com/) Find out more about Blake at blaketedder.com (http://www.blaketedder.com/) | blake@blaketedder.com (https://msilto:blake@blaketedder.com/) | @nohighwaycowboy (https://twitter.com/nohighwaycowboy) on Twitter Music: Siddartha Corsus "Ta Da!" from freemusicarchive.org

Bringing Nature & Imagery into our Yoga
In this episode Angela and Victor talk about a natural way of yoga and what it means to embody the animals, plants, and other elements of natural world and the tremendous wisdom, creativity and power that comes from it. We talk about the gradual process of learning to open ourselves when we spend time in nature and develop our observational skills and what it looks like to bring that home to our yoga practice by using natural imagery--born of this observation and our natural instincts--so we can start treating yoga properly, as a means for trusting our own being, coming home to our selves and connecting ultimately to our deepest selves. ---------------------------------- Find out more about Angela and Victor at angela-victor.com (http://www.angela-victor.com/) Find out more about Blake at blaketedder.com (http://www.blaketedder.com/) | blake@blaketedder.com (https://msilto:blake@blaketedder.com/) | @nohighwaycowboy (https://twitter.com/nohighwaycowboy) on Twitter Music: Siddartha Corsus "Ta Da!" from freemusicarchive.org

Who are they anyways? Pt 2
In part two of our conversation about what makes Angela and Victor’s approach to yoga so different, we dive a little deeper. We discuss what an Angela and Victor workshop experience is like and how its different from a typical yoga class. They dig into their constant helpful image of "roots". We discuss the trouble and benefit of calling their yoga “yoga” and what "Yoga" is anyways. We talk about the importance of the body as the way into our experience and energetic sensitivity, and Angela tells her very personal story of how surgery at a young age caused trauma that she’s still exploring today. ---------------------------------- Find out more about Angela and Victor at angela-victor.com (http://www.angela-victor.com/) Find out more about Blake at blaketedder.com (http://www.blaketedder.com/) | blake@blaketedder.com (https://msilto:blake@blaketedder.com/) | @nohighwaycowboy (https://twitter.com/nohighwaycowboy) on Twitter Music: Siddartha Corsus "Ta Da!" from freemusicarchive.org (http://www.freemusicarchive.org/)

Who are they anyways? Pt 1
In this conversation , we learn about what makes Angela and Victor’s approach to yoga so different and potent in healing and becoming more receptive to life. In part one of this two part conversation, we learn about their break with BKS Iyengar and the evolution of their teaching.

Pilot - Creativity and Receptivity [Victor]
In this first conversation - which started this whole project - Blake chats with Victor about his creative process. Victor has a seemingly boundless sense of creativity as a prolific artist and inner explorer. He sees so much in the body and speaks about inner wheels, currents, pulleys, fur, tails, mushrooms, windows, and gills which all creatively describe the nameless energy currents within us that move us and animate us. By developing this inner imagination, we access our energy, open and heal our bodies, and touch deeper sources of ourselves and our creativity. I hope you enjoy this conversation about yoga and the creative process. ---------------------------------- Find out more about Angela and Victor at angela-victor.com (http://www.angela-victor.com) Find out more about Blake at blaketedder.com (http://www.blaketedder.com) | blake@blaketedder.com (//msilto:blake@blaketedder.com) | @nohighwaycowboy (https://twitter.com/nohighwaycowboy) on Twitter Music: Ketsa "Underground" from freemusicarchive.org (http://www.freemusicarchive.org)
