21. Injuries, Entrepreneurship and Social Justice: Stefan Camilleri's Yoga Journey
Many yoga approaches focus on feeling good, until injuries, exhaustion, or confusion set in. Stefan Camilleri, founder of Lanka Yoga and a movement innovator, reveals how deeply understanding how the body works (and why) can transform your practice, and your life. His journey from chronic pain to mastery in movement sparks a new perspective: yoga that’s safe, effective, and truly nourishing.In this episode, Stefan shares his story: how early injuries almost derailed his yoga journey, and how a turn to physiotherapy and scientific understanding (Synergy with Simon Borg-Olivier) revolutionised his approach. We dive into key insights behind synergy-based movement: How to listen to your body, adapt your practice based on your unique needs, and incorporate physiology into your daily movement, understanding your body’s mechanisms empowers you to manage stress, injury, and self-awareness in real life.I had the pleasure to also discuss sustainable yoga-entrepreneurship, a topic that is often taboo in the spiritual world, and that we are striving to normalise. Stefan advocates for the importance of using our platforms to speak up about the world we live in, to take a stand against violence through social activism, and the repercussions that come along with that, in a highly-polarised world.This episode is essential listening for yoga teachers, movement enthusiasts, and anyone fed up with injury or feeling disconnected from their practice. Stefan’s insights challenge the status quo, encouraging you to question traditional teachings, embrace scientific methods, and craft a movement practice that’s safe, sustainable, and deeply effective.If you’re ready to break free from injury, confusion, and dogma, this is your episode. Don’t miss it.To connect with Stefan: stefancamilleriyoga.comlankayoga.lkhttps://www.instagram.com/stefancamilleriyogaSupport the showTo connect with Arianna Montanari on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/mielestrega/?hl=enTo her website for online yoga synergy programmes and mielestrega body products:https://www.mielestrega.com/

20. Rewiring Addiction: A Journey to Self-Regulation with Simon Borg-Olivier
Most people underestimate how deeply addiction impacts our biology, how it works and how movement, breath, and presence can rewire it from the inside out. In this eye-opening episode, Simon Borg-Olivier and Arianna Montanari share how habitual behaviors, whether social media, work, or substances, shift our brain’s receptors on a molecular level, biasing the nervous system toward craving and stress. But there’s hope: by mastering simple, pleasurable movement practices rooted in ancient yoga and modern science, you can transform these patterns, restoring internal balance and creating a state of calm vitality.You’ll discover how addiction is essentially a self-regulation misfire, a cry for deeper connection and relaxation that’s often masked by chemical or social substitutes. Simon reveals how subtle shifts, using movement, posture, and breath, can generate our own internal rewards, bypassing destructive dependency. We break down practical strategies to replace unconscious habits with conscious, nourishing routines that feel good from the inside, not through pain or suffering. These insights are perfect for anyone feeling stuck in stress, burnout, or addictive cycles, whether related to substances, social media, workaholism, or compulsive behaviors.We explore the fascinating science behind how addiction alters receptor sensitivity and nervous system states, and how a mindful, gentle approach to movement can recalibrate these deeply wired systems. Learn to access relaxed, energized states that support your physical, mental, and emotional health.. all without pushing your body to exhaustion. This episode is a guide to cultivating effortless blood flow, neural harmony, and inner contentment: key to lasting well-being.If you’re ready to rewire your relationship with your body and habits, this conversation offers powerful tools and a new paradigm for self-regulation and authentic satisfaction.To connect with Simon Borg-Olivier:healthhappinesslongevity.cohttps://www.instagram.com/simonborgolivier/Support the showTo connect with Arianna Montanari on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/mielestrega/?hl=enTo her website for online yoga synergy programmes and mielestrega body products:https://www.mielestrega.com/

18. How Understanding Your Human Design Can Unlock Limitless Self-Trust, with Kari Hovik
In this episode of the Synergy Podcast, host Arianna Montanari speaks with somatic coach Kari Hovik about her journey and the importance of individuality in personal growth. They discuss the rise of the individual, navigating spiritual awakenings, and the significance of Human Design in understanding oneself. Kari emphasizes the need for self-awareness, reflection, and the balance between personal healing and collective responsibility. The conversation highlights the beauty of spirituality in everyday life and the transformative power of somatic coaching for women in transitional phases.About Kari:Kari is a somatic coach for women who are in pivotal, transitional seasons in life - in career, in relationships, and in womanhood overall. Her work blends nervous system regulation as the foundation, parts and patterns work, human design, and identity work, with feminine wisdom woven all the way through. She believes every single woman (and person) is one of one, so uniquely made, and that conditioned society has stifled that. "As we move into this new era, the rise of the individual is going to be paramount. When you are so completely connected to yourself, you have no choice but to see that you are connected to everyone else as well. We cannot heal or grow or expand within the same systems or consciousness that made us so docile."To connect with Kari:https://www.instagram.com/its.kari.kin/https://kincoach.substack.com/kinalignedcoach.squarespace.comSupport the showTo connect with Arianna Montanari on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/mielestrega/?hl=enTo her website for online yoga synergy programmes and mielestrega body products:https://www.mielestrega.com/
