One Sacred Pause with Jessica Winderl is a podcast dedicated to the yoga, wellness + meditation communities of Scandinavia. It is designed to bring real and raw dialogues about spirituality into the forefront of living our yoga off the mat. Join us each week for casual and upbeat conversations as we chat with inspiring wellness entrepreneurs who are doing exciting things in the yoga + meditation communities, and learn the tools they use to stay committed to their practice. Hear the honest stories of what they have learned along the way- setbacks, successes, and the experience of being human. We ask the question: who (or what) would you be if you got still enough + quiet enough to listen to the wisdom within? A split second of intention to make a choice to change course, and to engage self-reflection, radical self-inquiry, and new ways to find a deeper understanding of Self and Source.
This week, Jessica dives into the topic of the art of living simply, using the yoga philosophies of aparigrapha (non-attachement/non-grasping) and santosha (contentment). How can we take less than we need, and simplify or edit our lives so that we feel more peaceful, happy, and grounded?
This week, Jessica explores the topic of social media and social media influencers, and how the yoga industry has changed because of them. She discusses the pros and cons of social media in relation to yoga, and why she thinks yoga students need to be mindful of how and why they consume social media. The "highlight reel" of yoga influencers is usually curated and highly edited, portraying a lifestyle that isn’t always rooted in reality.
This week, Jessica shares why she changed her intention/word for 2023 from Ease to Joy, and how she is actively seeking more joy in her life. So much of our life is focused on the future, and striving to achieve accomplishments, that we often miss the magic that is right in front of us. Tune it to get inspired to find more joy, play, laughter, and fun in your own life! This episode is a reminder to check in with yourself, and come back to the parts of yourself you love and what lights you up.
This week, Jessica is joined by Ayurvedic Counselor Cecilie Vehre, and the women discuss what Ayurveda is (the sister science of yoga), and how a holistic approach to our health and wellness is beneficial for us all. The women also dive into the importance of emotional intelligence, and the role this plays in our overall health. They also discuss women’s health issues (birth, menstruation, birth control) and how we can view this through the lens of Ayurveda.
Join Jessica as she shares her experiences navigating the delicate balance between motherhood and entrepreneurship, and offers insights into how to shift your perceptions of being a working mom.

The yoga industry was hit hard by the pandemic and lockdowns, and a lot of things have changed for yoga teachers and yoga studios. But what hasn’t changed is our need for community and connection with other humans.
