Harmony Slater – Ashtanga in Practice

Last updated on 03/01/2023

Harmony Slater is Ashtanga Yoga practitioner and teacher based in Calgary, Canada. Her search for meaning led her from ballet dancing to studying philosophy, religion and psychology, travelling to China to learn Buddhist meditation and eventually meeting Sri. K Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India. In this lively conversation we talk about her path and discuss many other topics:

• Entranced by Sri Yantra – first mystical experiences
• Different internal drishtis during asana practice and the meditative aspect of it
• Harmony’s study of the mind in academical and practical setting
• Darkness, addiction and the light of knowledge as a ladder for the intellect
• Anorexia, body dysmorphia, not good enough
• The strong remedy of Ashtanga Yoga
• On Pranayama and Kundalini

Harmony is also a host of Finding Harmony Podcast, where she interviews many interesting yogis and fellow seekers in a very entertaining and uplifting way.
