Yoga is a legacy of humankind, it began in India, but it’s a gift that all humans all over the world can enjoy. It’s a gift, really, I see it this way. So I think that it’s very important that yoga can spread and can be shared. And I think it’s a very healing practice.”

Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast Episode #99 – Yoga In Andorra with Sarah De Santiago Transcription

[00:00:00] Lily Allen-Duenas: Namaste family and welcome back to the Wild Yoga Tribe podcast. Today we are celebrating our 99th episode. That’s so exciting. We’re getting really close to that hundredth mark. Today I am joined by Sarah de Santiago. She’s a yoga teacher from Andorra and she has co-founded Prana Yoga Andorra alongside her mother, where their collective vision really flourishes.

With over a decade of yoga teaching experience, Sarah specializes in Hatha Vinyasa Yoga, which is enriched by her understanding of yogic philosophy, tantra, ayurveda, and astrology. Sarah’s holistic approach extends beyond just yoga, as she is a Reiki practitioner. She offers energy work sessions that deepen the self connection and enhance well being.

Thank you so much, Sarah, for being with me today. I am so excited to be here with you.

[00:00:57] Sarah De Santiago: Thank you for having me. I’m so excited too and congratulations for your podcast.

[00:01:03] Lily Allen-Duenas: Thank you. Yeah, 99 episodes, 99 yoga teachers, 99 countries.

[00:01:08] Sarah De Santiago: Yeah.

[00:01:09] Lily Allen-Duenas: Pretty cool.

[00:01:11] Sarah De Santiago: It’s a beautiful number as well, like 99. It’s beautiful.

What initially drew you to yoga and maybe how did you become a yoga teacher in Andorra?

[00:01:15] Lily Allen-Duenas: Yes, I’m happy that we get to do this together. Sarah just to get started and get to know you better. Can you share your journey with us into the world of yoga? What initially drew you to yoga and maybe how did you become a teacher?

[00:01:29] Sarah De Santiago: Yes [00:01:30] that’s kind of the story of my life. I grew up in that kind of environment, my mom was a yoga teacher. She’s been practicing yoga since I was a child, she was also a Reiki master. She did reflexology and all kinds of holistic treatments, so I grew up into all of this. It was normal for me, and my mom always insisted on me doing yoga and all kinds of things. But as a teenager, you don’t want to do anything that your parents think is good for you or that your parents tell you to do. For me it was like, no, I don’t want to try that. I think I was 18 years old or so and I was having a very dark period in my time.

I think it’s difficult to be a teenager, right? I was going through a dark time and something clicked inside of me. Eventually I felt, now it’s the time to try this, so I told my mom, hey, I want to try a yoga class. But I didn’t want to do a regular class in my mom’s studio. She taught me, but it was only the two of us. It was a private thing between my mom and I. She’s a kundalini yoga teacher, so my first experience was with kundalini yoga. I remember that first class very well. It was a very special feeling, that first class, right? You might share that with me as well. I [00:03:00] think your first yoga class, it’s wow, where have you been all my life, right? I was in a very calm state of mind.

And I just knew that I had to keep doing this because it was healing for me. So I just kept doing yoga. Eventually when I was 19 years old, after a year or so. I remember being in the car with my father and I was listening to a mantra, to Snatamkara mantra. I don’t know if you know her, she’s a beautiful singer. I remember having that kind of feeling inside of me, like a certainty, and I knew that I had to take teacher training. I wanted to share yoga with other people. I was very young, I was 19 years old back then. I decided to enroll in my first teacher training. It was a kundalini teacher training, by the way. That’s how everything started.

[00:03:58] Lily Allen-Duenas: It’s amazing. It’s such a gift to have a mom who’s a yoga teacher. That was really incredible that you were introduced to it so young. I think it’s really cool that your mom let you come to the practice. She didn’t force you to practice. Maybe she took you into classes when you were little and you just toddled around.But I think it’s beautiful that your mom just allowed the practice to come to you and you to come to the practice.

[00:04:24] Sarah De Santiago: Yes I feel very fortunate to have her in my life. She didn’t put any pressure on [00:04:30] me. Sometimes when I have talked to her about that, and she said “I knew that you would come to this one day when you were ready, that was it.”

What was co-founding Prana Yoga Andorra with your mother like? 

[00:04:38] Lily Allen-Duenas: So co-founding Prana Yoga Andhora with your mother sounds like a beautiful venture. Could you tell me more about how your studio came into fruition? 

[00:04:49] Sarah De Santiago: Yes, it’s been a great adventure. Yes, you bet. Working with your mom, it’s not easy, and it’s been very healing for both of us too, for our mother and daughter relationship. Been very healing for both. Mymom, back then, had like a very small studio because it was only her. When I decided to work with her. We invested in ourselves and we decided to move to a bigger studio and to create a brand, a logo, to have a proper name and to have a kind of a strategy for our business. Not to call it that way, but for a project together.

I think we’ve been working together now, almost for 10 years. Like nine years or so, and it’s been a great adventure, yeah.

What does Prana Yoga Andorra represent for both you and your mom?

[00:05:47] Lily Allen-Duenas: What does your yoga studio represent for both you and your mom?

[00:05:51] Sarah De Santiago: It’s our family project, it’s something that’s very beautiful and very precious to us. We put everything we have, [00:06:00] not only materially speaking or financially speaking, but… Emotionally speaking, we’ve put our hearts, our souls in there, and it’s very important to us. It’s a very small and familiar studio, and we really like to keep it this way. I think that our students or any people who approach our studio. We like them to feel like family, too, because they are, in a sense, it’s an intimate space for us. 

[00:06:32] Lily Allen-Duenas: Yeah, it definitely would be that kind of intimate space that you and your mom have created, that feeling of home, of family, of vulnerability. I’m sure that it is very special for new students to come and be welcomed into that space with all that really good familial, close, intimate energy in there.

[00:06:53] Sarah De Santiago: Yeah. Yes, we like people to feel this way when they come. It’s like opening the doors to our own home. 

 Incorporating yoga philosophy, Chantra, Ayurveda, and astrology into yoga classes

[00:07:01] Lily Allen-Duenas: Amazing. I also loved reading and learning, Sarah, that you are incorporating yoga philosophy, tantra, ayurveda, and astrology into your classes. How do all these elements enhance your yoga experience for your students? How do you actually weave them into your class?

[00:07:23] Sarah De Santiago: I know that it might sound like a weird combination of things, right? But I’m a very curious [00:07:30] person by nature and I have this… it’s almost like a compulsion. To take classes and courses, buy books, gather information, and understand things. So I think, for example, yoga and ayurveda pair really well together.

They go hand in hand, in a sense. Ayurveda is a practice and a philosophy that always helps me to be more grounded. Sometimes I use Ayurveda in the classes. For instance, when it’s vata season, which is slowly approaching in autumn and winter. Maybe I sequence my classes around vata dosha, do it like more standing poses, more slow and grounded sequences. Astrology is the same, astrology and yoga pair very well together as well because it gives you a sense of what is going on, for the collective. You can theme your classes, you can sequence your classes around, astrology themes or what is going on at the moment. For example, I don’t know, in Leo season. Leo is about working with your inner child or working on your value, your worth, your self confidence, your inner glow, your shine. You can theme your yoga classes around that and help the collective align with the energies of the moment [00:09:00] so you get an idea of the kind of work I’m trying to share there with all this combination of things. 

The intentionality and thoughtfulness of creating a yoga sequence 

[00:09:07] Lily Allen-Duenas: Yeah, it sounds a lot like you’re involving and incorporating these elements more in your thoughtfulness, your intention and the atmosphere or the sequence. Everything that you’re creating for your students. It’s probably less like you’re actually talking in the class about astrology, or are doing a whole sequence that’s based on, a lion for Leo. You’re not doing a lot of Simhaasana and a lot of the lion based Poses, it would just be 

[00:09:35] Sarah De Santiago: Mm hmm. 

[00:09:36] Lily Allen-Duenas: a lot of that intention behind your, what you’re doing in the class.

[00:09:43] Sarah De Santiago: Yeah. Yeah, that’s right It’s exactly that it’s the energy you put into the class.

[00:09:47] Lily Allen-Duenas: That is amazing. I know that a lot of people who are listening are yoga teachers. We definitely have listeners, Sarah, who are not, but I think that it can be a common misconception. How much of your time, your energy, your intention really does go into planning a yoga class.

Sure, you can step in and use your intuition and you can just teach more in that organic way. But if you wanted to cultivate that experience. Really thoughtfully, it can take a lot of time and you can demo it. You can practice it yourself, you can move through it and by yourself before actually teaching. You can have notes or a poem you want to based on and which asana support that.

I [00:10:30] think that it’s really amazing that you’re even going more, and more layers deeper than that, even more intention and thoughtfulness. 

[00:10:38] Sarah De Santiago: Yeah, planning a class it’s a lot of work and sometimes people don’t understand it till they get enrolled in teacher training. They say, “Oh my God, this is like a lot of work. We have to learn a lot of things and put a lot of energy into doing that.” You can’t imagine it, um, till you study to be a teacher or till you start planning your classes. It seems easy maybe from the outside, like you just hop in there. You just teach a couple of asanas or a flow and you just go back home but it really takes a lot of work, a lot of energy, a lot of intention. Yeah, we put so much of ourselves in each class, I think, as yoga teachers.

Yoga teachers always continue to learn and grow

[00:11:25] Lily Allen-Duenas: Yeah. As you said, you have almost a compulsion to keep on learning and doing more certifications. I also share that with you. I love doing more training, but it is good for our listeners who are maybe new yoga teachers to hear too that just that 200 hour certificate. That’s a great starting place, but often doing more certifications, not just in yoga, but in other things that interest you, whether that is Ayurveda or chakras or crystals or anything else that would maybe compliment or add to your class. It’s just a good reminder that, hey, more [00:12:00] training is, maybe in your future.

[00:12:02] Sarah De Santiago: Yeah, absolutely. I agree with you. I think we have that in common, most yoga teachers, that we are kind of explorers. We are very curious by nature. We love to go deep into things. We love to study, to learn, and we love to share as well. It has a lot of possibilities, as you say, not only studying yoga focused things you can study everything you want and everything you do. It’s going to add something to your classes.

Even if it’s not something you talk openly about, it will stem from you. I think it will nourish your classes and it will definitely nourish your way of teaching. I think it’s very important.

[00:12:45] Lily Allen-Duenas: Yeah. That’s such a good point too, because it can be. Even a class in or degree in engineering, that can change how you teach. I was talking to another yoga teacher from Iran and she has a design studio. We were talking about industrial design or product design, like how the actual thought of how everything fit together changes how she’s sequenced.

[00:13:09] Sarah De Santiago: Wow. 

The most rewarding aspect of 10 years of teaching yoga in Andorra

[00:13:10] Lily Allen-Duenas: But Sarah, I’d also like to hear from you, I know you’ve taught for nearly a decade.I’d love to hear if you have any really rewarding moments that you’ve encountered on your teaching journey. Maybe specific student transformations or personal realizations or anything that kind of stands out for you. 

[00:13:29] Sarah De Santiago: I [00:13:30] think the most rewarding thing about all these years with yoga, it’s been the human experience you get, it’s very enriching for your personal life. The people you get to know, students that become friends, very close friends, and the network that can result from teaching yoga the people you know and you start like connecting one student with the other and, that network we used make with with different people and how we end up supporting each other. It’s very beautiful and very enriching. So I guess it’s that all the people I had the opportunity to know, to get in contact with and to learn from.

[00:14:17] Lily Allen-Duenas: Yeah, absolutely. The bonds that form in yoga are so beautiful. I think that the yoga class or a yoga retreat in particular, there’s so much vulnerability. People start when they’re finally quiet. And finally, still not on the phone, not distracted, not thinking of twenty things at once or, checking on something on Google, answering an email and talking to someone and watching TV in the background.

When you actually stop doing everything and start hearing yourself. A lot of questions pop up or a lot of curiosities and that can form beautiful connections like, Oh, is that the same for you? You know what I mean?

[00:14:55] Sarah De Santiago: Yeah. And the connections you make are very authentic, very different from the other [00:15:00] kind of connections you make anywhere else, there’s another kind of authenticity in that kind of bonds we make in this yoga world.

How do reiki and yoga compliment each other?

[00:15:10] Lily Allen-Duenas: Yeah. There’s less artifice. Less faking it. I think you’ve shown up as more of who you really are, a lot more realness brought to the table. Sarah, I know as a Reiki practitioner, I’m also one as well. I first started my Reiki journey at level one, and I started in Nepal and then I finished two and three in India.

It took me, I think nearly two years, we’ll say to do it from start to finish. But I don’t often get Reiki and yoga teacher combo duo like you on the show in general. Would you talk to us about how your Reiki sessions and energy work, how those practices complement and maybe inform or change how you teach yoga?

[00:15:53] Sarah De Santiago: You’re a reiki practitioner as well. I think you might agree with me that reiki is a personal and spiritual path as well as yoga. I think it changes you as well as yoga does, it allows you to work with a different kind of subtle energy. It nourishes you. 

It nourishes your energy in a different way, and I think that It really nourishes your way of teaching as well. What I’ve noticed with Reiki is that you’re tapping into a different kind of intuition. To give you an example, I’m in class and I have something planned for [00:16:30] that class. Sometimes when I’m in the actual class with my students. I feel something inside of me, and I don’t know why I feel it, but it’s no. I can’t do this, I have to change this and I end up doing a completely different thing. At the end of the class, always, some of my students come, and say: I have received the class, I just need it for today, so with Reiki, that’s the experience I have. You’re tapping into a kind of intuition that allows you to receive what your collective is needing at that moment.

The intuition of teaching a yoga class

[00:17:11] Lily Allen-Duenas: Absolutely. Yes. That intuition and sensing the energy in the room. I think a lot of teachers maybe, you’re using your eyes and you can see if people are fidgeting or you can see if something needs to shift or things are too hard and then they’re struggling. I think you can see that.

There’s that energetic layer of what needs to happen, do they need, yeah, it’s that intuition, it’s like you can close your eyes and you can still feel it.

[00:17:38] Sarah De Santiago: Yes yeah you get more sensitive to the energy of people, to the energy of the room, and you also understand better how the chakras work, the energy of the chakras, and that definitely helps you to understand asanas as well, the energetic effect of the asanas you’re teaching and [00:18:00] you’re doing yourself. So yeah, again I think that they pair very well together. Everything pairs well with yoga, actually.

[00:18:07] Lily Allen-Duenas: Yeah, even engineering, like we mentioned. 

[00:18:10] Sarah De Santiago: For sure.

What advice do you have for yoga teachers who are just beginning? 

[00:18:11] Lily Allen-Duenas: Sarah, some of our yoga teachers who are tuning in today, if they’re newer to the practice or newer to teaching, what advice do you, or would you, give to them?

[00:18:21] Sarah De Santiago: I don’t know, so many things, right? But I guess that, don’t be in a hurry, that’s what I would say to people who are just beginning their yoga journey. Don’t be in a hurry, because I think it’s a long term process, sometimes we want to go very fast. With everything, right? And in our yoga journey, we tend to have this desire to go very fast, to advance very fast, and it’s really a long, very long term process that you have to invest time and energy in, and it’s worth it. Absolutely. So don’t be in a hurry, take your time, be consistent and have in mind that it’s something that, luckily, it’s for your whole life, 

Why it’s important for yoga to be all around the world now?

[00:19:14] Lily Allen-Duenas: A lot of our yoga teachers, too, who are tuning in, are from every corner of the globe, right? That’s such a beautiful thing. Do you have any thoughts about why it’s important for yoga to be all around the world now?

[00:19:29] Sarah De Santiago: Yoga is [00:19:30] a legacy of humankind, it began in India, but it’s a gift that all humans all over the world can enjoy. It’s a gift, really, I see it this way. So I think that it’s very important that yoga can spread and can be shared. And I think it’s a very healing practice.

I think it’s very positive that now we can we can attend classes, have yoga teachers and be able to connect with this practice all over the world, not only in India, as it was hundreds or thousands of years ago. 

What is your definition of yoga? 

[00:20:08] Lily Allen-Duenas: Yes. Yes, I totally agree with that 100%. Sarah, a question I ask every single guest on the podcast, and I’d love to ask you as well, is what is your personal definition of yoga?

[00:20:21] Sarah De Santiago: That’s not easy. For me, yoga, it’s many things, but I think connection will be, it’s the word that pops in my mind right now, connection with your inner self, with your true self.

What is yoga in Andorra like?

[00:20:37] Lily Allen-Duenas: Beautiful. Also I’d love for you just to shine a little light on Andorra, as well, on your country, could you tell us what yoga is like in Andorra? Has it been really popular? I know your mom was a teacher, a couple decades ago, but what has that kind of growth of yoga in Andorra been like?

[00:20:57] Sarah De Santiago: When I started practicing [00:21:00] yoga. Maybe sixteen years ago or so, it wasn’t popular at all at that time and definitely wasn’t popular among young people or even middle aged people. It was something that was more in that country, in Andorra specifically. It was more oriented towards people from maybe 50, 60, women. Mostly, I think from that age. I think Instagram and social media have contributed to the popularity of yoga here in that country, here in my country as well. Because I’ve seen a difference since Instagram became more popular here in the country, and people had access to social media. All those yoga pictures, it started becoming more and more popular every time, I think. Now it’s really popular. Our country is very small and things arrive later than in Europe, or even in Spain, in cities like Barcelona. Everything arrives a little bit later here. It’s a country surrounded by mountains in the Pyrenees mountains, so it’s been a little bit I’m not trying to sound negative here or anything. Maybe a little bit more, close minded, and now it’s like the minds of the collective are open [00:22:30] each year a little bit more and accepting more all this kind of holistic things.

The easy access to yoga now 

[00:22:37] Lily Allen-Duenas: Sarah,  I agree with you because when we started practicing yoga, the two of us, we’re about the same age. It was unbelievable for me. There was really no YouTube. We had the internet, right?

But it just wasn’t anything like it is today. You couldn’t Google anything and immediately find a hundred different things talking about it. It was just so hard. Now I think information is shared and is so accessible. It’s accessible in so many different formats. You can listen to audiobooks, you can watch it on a movie, you can read it in a book, you can ask questions about it on a Reddit forum. There’s just so many different ways, so no matter what type of learner you are, or where you are in the world, if you do have access to technology. You can learn, you can find, and I do think that has opened the mind of the collective in big ways. I do think energetically, the collective is seeking healing. I think we all acknowledge the collective needs to be healed.

The lineages of yoga

[00:23:33] Sarah De Santiago: Yeah. It’s incredible. I remember when I first started with my mom I thought that Kundalini yoga was the only yoga that existed. You can imagine, because I didn’t have access, as you say, to as much information as we have now. It was not as usual to type in Google and start searching for more things. I just thought that this was yoga and that was it.  [00:24:00] It was a couple of years later when I took the training and started talking to other people that they told me, no, there are many lineages of yoga. I was like, wow, really? 

[00:24:11] Lily Allen-Duenas: All the lineages of yoga are fascinating. I think I love learning about those on this podcast. Like There’s a yoga teacher from Ethiopia, Heran Tedessa, and she was talking about kemetic yoga. Afrikan yoga and while I thought I knew what African yoga was, maybe just yoga in Africa.

No, it’s like an actual different lineage and so is Kemetic yoga based on hieroglyphics. There’s some claims that it could even be older than yoga in India. It’s wow, I didn’t know anything about these lineages, and I do love learning about them because it seems like more and more are being uncovered, as around the entire globe. People are saying there’s been yoga practices in my culture and tradition in ancient times as well. Or they become developed in a new age and new time. Anusara yoga is very new or Bikram yoga would be considered very new. There’s always more to learn.

What is Andorra like?

[00:25:05] Lily Allen-Duenas: Sarah to spotlight your country, Andorra as a whole. Can you just talk to us about your country, about the history, the geography, what it’s known for, if there’s anything you want to share about Andorra? Please do, and feel free to say it the correct way. I’m probably not saying Andorra perfectly so feel free to help out here.[00:25:30] 

[00:25:30] Sarah De Santiago: Yeah, I know that this sound is a double R. Yeah, it’s weird for you, right? Andorra, I’m going to say in my language. Andorra.It’s a beautiful country. Indeed, it’s a country, imagine a small country independent among the mountains. We have very high mountains, and it’s very famous because of its ski resorts. A lot of people come from all over the world to ski here in the winter. It’s also very known because of the shopping. as well, and in summer we have a lot of hiking routes in the mountains. A lot of people come for hiking, too, and do nature and mountain activities. It’s a very safe country, which is great. 

Andorra’s relationship with Spain 

[00:26:28] Lily Allen-Duenas: I’m personally curious is there any, I don’t know, like conflict or competition with Spain? I know just being nestled so tiny, so small, like in between Spain and then sharing a language, speaking Spanish. Is there any kind of. “No, I’m definitely not from Spain. I’m from Andorra.” Do you know what I mean? There’s a kind of pride or anything around that?

[00:26:50] Sarah De Santiago: I don’t know about the others, but personally, I don’t feel this way. I haven’t heard about that. I think [00:27:00] the people who live here or were born here, we are very used to being a separate country, and we have an actual border and all that.

So it’s very clear that we are separate, close, like neighbors, but separate countries. We have a good emotional relationship with our neighbors, Spain and France. We have a lot of people from Spain and from France that come to visit the country or even work or live here. Yeah, we are in a good relationship.

How to get in touch with Sarah and learn more about yoga in Andorra 

[00:27:32] Lily Allen-Duenas: Good, perfect. Thank you for answering that question for my own curiosity and Sarah, this episode, this podcast, this conversation has been so beautiful with you.

But anyway, my Instagram is Sarah with a final [00:28:30] dot prana yoga . Dot com. Definitely Sarah Yoga, it’s my Instagram personal account.

[00:29:02] Lily Allen-Duenas: Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast. My conversation with Sara De Santiago, a yoga teacher from Andorra, was so beautiful and inspiring as we delved into the mother daughter relationship in yoga, and how close and intimate bonds can be nourished and created through yoga.

 I hope that this conversation made you consider yoga as a legacy of humankind, and how yoga can heal the collective. and all of humankind as well. If you’re looking to tune into a podcast episode that’s all about yoga in Andorra, then this is the conversation for you.

Thank you for listening to the Wild Yoga Tribe podcast. Be well.
