5: Radical Acts Of Truth and Devotion: Timeless Wisdom For The Modern World With Amy Landry

Welcome to another episode of The Future Is Om Podcast.

Today, I feel honoured to introduce to you not only a friend, but a master, mentor, and movement maker deeply grounded in her purpose to be a beacon for those craving a connection to tradition and timeless wisdom. Her name is Amy Landry, and she is a truly inspirational yoga teacher, Ayurvedic practitioner, speaker, mentor, mother, and student of Odissi dance - a classical dance form of India that has been described as dance in devotion.

In fact, having known Amy for more than a decade, it could be argued that her life has been a dance in devotion - you see, I first met Amy in our early twenties when she was working as a professional dancer on Sydney's Showboat. It wasn't too long before she was dancing all over the world before the injury and an unexpected accident were the catalysts for a change in direction. One that led her to what I would dare say has been her true calling and dharma in life.

Today, Amy is a global leader in the world of yoga. Her teachings of movement and mindfulness have earned her international acclaim, with renowned sold-out retreats featured in publications such as Om Yoga & Lifestyle magazine and YOGA Magazine (UK). She is a regular yoga contributor for Nature & Health magazine and part of the ambassador family for Australian Yoga Journal.

In today's conversation, Amy and I weaved meaning around so many incredible talking points relevant not only to those of you who love yoga but also to those of you who believe that we can create a more inclusive and peaceful world by becoming more spiritually fit human beings.

The themes we explored include:

• The significance of maintaining spiritual integrity as teachers.
• An explanation of the meaning behind the Om Symbol, in addition to a discussion around how this way of supporting our evolution.
• We discuss the three Doshas of Ayurveda with a focus on why nurturing our inner nature connects us to all of nature.
• We question the status quo on issues relating to the decolonisation of yoga and, more broadly, how we can create more diverse and inclusive communities on and off the mat.

And really, that was just the beginning. This episode is jam-packed with big ideas and lots of LOVE.

So, without further delay, grab your chai tea and join us for a deep dive into Amy's knowledge and experience as she shares her insights on timeless wisdom for a modern world. Welcome to The Future Is Om.
