The Transformative Power of Yoga, Medita...

ALLISON WETIG AND CEARA KIRKPATRICK
About this episode

We are joined by yoga instructor and spiritual guide Kun, who shares his background in yoga and meditation. His spiritual journey started with his first meditation at 17 years old at Casa Om.

Today, Kun is a well-respected yoga instructor, meditation leader, and practitioner of sound baths, Thai massage, and acroyoga in Tulum.

Kun emphasizes the importance of spending time in nature and the spiritual aspects of yoga. The conversation explores the themes of vulnerability, balancing feminine and masculine energy, and the impact of a spiritual practice on communication with others. Kun also emphasizes the importance of compassion, understanding, and the ability to hold space for others. 

Topics Discussed: 

  • Yoga and meditation can have a profound impact on one's life, helping to find stability, connect with nature, and achieve well-being.
  • The practice of yoga is not just about physical postures, but also about the spiritual and emotional aspects.
  • Yoga can help release tension, emotions, and negative energy from the body, allowing the spirit to ascend and experience more joy.
  • It's important to slow down, be present, and embrace where you are in your yoga practice and in life.
  • Yoga can help build confidence, self-acceptance, and self-love, leading to positive changes in one's life. Vulnerability and embracing both feminine and masculine energy is essential for personal growth and healthy relationships.
  • Compassion and understanding are key components of a spiritual practice and can enhance communication with others.
  • Balancing feminine and masculine energy allows for a more harmonious and fulfilling life.
  • Men should be encouraged to be more receptive and sensitive, and women should hold space for them to express vulnerability.


When he's not teaching or leading sessions, you can find Kun playing various instruments, surfing the waves, practicing muay thai, or riding his motorcycle, fully embracing the art of living well.
