   Vipassana Meditation, Discipline & Inner Work with Andrew Abaria

   In this episode of Life On Earth, Nathalie reconnects with Andrew Abaria—actor, musician, and longtime yoga practitioner—for a conversation on meditation, discipline, and inner work. Together, they explore the depth of Vipassana meditation, the evolution of a yoga practice over time, and the shift from external performance to internal awareness. Andrew shares his experience attending multiple Vipassana retreats and offers insight into the structure, intensity, and transformative potential of this practice. This conversation is an invitation to slow down, observe, and cultivate equanimity—both on and off the mat. Key Topics The evolution of a yoga practice over time From vinyasa flow to slower, more intentional movement The structure and discipline of Vipassana meditation retreats What to expect during a 10-day silent retreat Awareness of body sensations as a meditation practice Equanimity: learning to observe without reacting The connection between yoga and meditation Training the mind to respond rather than react in daily life Creativity, authenticity, and returning to the arts Andrew's Quotes “You fill your time with postures when you’re young. As you get older, you fill your postures with time.” “Vipassana is about observing sensations in the body and learning not to react.” “It’s not just meditation—it’s training for how you respond to life.” “You begin to notice cravings and aversions—and stop feeding them.” Highlights Andrew’s journey from musician to actor, and back to inner practice The distinction between modern meditation trends and traditional practices How physical practices like yoga and Lagree can support mental focus The role of discipline in both creative work and spiritual practice Links Andrew Abariaandrewabaria.cominstagram.com/andrewabariaandrewabaria.com/music Vipassana Meditationdhamma.org Dhamma Vaddhana (Southern California)vaddhana.dhamma.org If you enjoyed this conversation, please rate, review, and subscribe to Life on Earth Podcast.

   Sebastien Lagree on Pilates, Lagree Fitness & Transforming Physical Training into Spiritual Practice

   Sébastien Lagree — inventor, founder & CEO of Lagree Fitness, creator of the Megaformer and over 100 patented fitness technologies In this episode, Nathalie welcomes visionary fitness innovator Sébastien Lagree for a conversation that bridges movement science, spiritual awareness, and the future of wellness. Sébastien shares his remarkable journey from his bodybuilding roots to developing the Lagree Method, a globally recognized high-intensity, low-impact training system licensed in more than 500 studios worldwide. Together, they explore how his passion for design and experimentation led to the invention of the Megaformer. Nathalie and Sébastien dive into the often misunderstood distinction between Lagree Fitness and Pilates. While both share roots in mindful movement and spring-based equipment, their intentions differ. Pilates, developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900s, was originally designed for healing, rehabilitation, and restoring balance in the body through alignment, control, and mindfulness. Lagree, on the other hand, merges strength training, cardio, and muscular endurance into one continuous, full-body workout. It applies bodybuilding principles such as time under tension and progressive overload, yet remains joint-safe and accessible through spring resistance. As Sébastien explains, Pilates aims to restore and heal, while Lagree was created to sculpt, strengthen, and transform—each method serving a unique purpose in supporting mind-body connection and overall vitality. The discussion expands into deeper territory—how mindset, intention, and heart–brain coherence transform physical training into a spiritual practice. Sébastien and Nathalie reflect on how fitness can be a path to self-mastery, clarity, and confidence when approached consciously. Practical insights include how often to train, why 20–45 minute sessions can be highly effective, and the importance of honest nutrition habits for lasting results. They also explore where fitness is headed next: from biohacking and R&D innovation to measuring wellness through energy, focus, and mental balance rather than calories burned. This inspiring conversation reminds listeners that movement is both science and art—a gateway to deeper self-awareness, empowerment, and transformation.

Vipassana Meditation, Discipline & Inner Work with Andrew Abaria

Published 6 May 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] It's very much a detox of your mind. So inherent to this type of meditation, you really have to remove yourself from the world for that long. It's a 10-day practice, but you've got to buffer it with the book-ended day. So I would suggest 12 days. And then once you can get those structures in place to be away from the world, then you show up to a center. Now there are centers all over the world, literally. And I like doing my retreats. My favorite retreat center is in 29 Palms, which is near Palm Springs, near Los Angeles. That's my favorite center. I've done probably three or four there. And then once you get to the center, it's very much a guided experience where there's a daily schedule. […]
