Episode 6 - Zella Marie Devlin - ‘Loving Kindness’

For all of us, love can be the natural state of our own being; naturally at peace, naturally connected, because this becomes the reflection of who we simply are.” ― Sharon Salzberg 

I’ve had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with Zella Marie, through 300 HR Yoga Teacher Training earlier this year. In fact, I want to say she might have been the one that put a bug in my ear about podcasting.

A little bit about Zella Marie - she has spent 20 years perfecting her craft in education, yoga, and movement.   Her expertise includes a RYT® 200 Hour Yoga Certification and has developed programs for all ages and abilities.  Zella currently coaches private yoga clients and conducts workshops on her proprietary Energy Flow Yoga™ program and she is the Co-Host on the Podcast - “Indigo Tent - Conversations for Your Highest Self”. I was actually on this podcast a week or so ago. Check out the website listed below and give it a listen, and subscribe to receive new episodes to your inbox. She did a beautiful job of putting together show notes for my episode too. :-)

We had a great conversation about loving kindness, how just the simple act of helping someone out at the grocery store can make an impact on their life as well as yours and how her meditation practice helped her through a really tough school year.

I shared a great quote from our teacher Michelle Young - “All this leads us back to our sense of self. The relationship we have with ourselves is truly the most important and foundational relationship that exists in our lives. It has most potential to either positively or negatively affect our experience of the world”. Zella divulged that our teacher Michelle had suggested the book “ The Secret Power of Yoga - Woman’s Guide to the Heart and Spirit of Yoga Sutras” by Nischala Joy Devi. It fits into our discussion of loving kindness as it interprets Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, the principles at the basis of Yoga practice, from a heart-centered, intuitive, feminine perspective, resulting in the first translation intended for women.
