Latest Episodes:

Podcast #72 - Creative Action Apr 11, 2016

Show notes

Are we bound by our conditioning, or does the possibility of freedom, spontaneity, creativity exist? Where does true spontaneity come from and what is its relationship to practice?

Podcast #71 - The Potential of Relationships Mar 10, 2016

Show notes

We bring our own assumptions, viewpoints, prejudices, predispositions to each relationship and encounter with another. Yoga primes us to see the potential for more than just one viewpoint, and opens up the potential for limitless possibility and and expansion of sense of self through compassion for all beings.

Show notes

Podcast #69 - Wildness Nov 15, 2015

Show notes

A yogi cultivates relationships that are mutually beneficial, not only with other beings but with the earth itself. How are our preferences, our comforts, our habits adversely affecting our ability to relate with the earth and with all beings.

Podcast #68 - Spirit Guides Oct 16, 2015

Show notes

When we speak of the 'guru' in yoga class, we are speaking of that part of ourselves that we cultivate, an attitude of being humble and open to the possibility that we don't know everything, to the possibility that other people, other experiences, even animals, a piece of music.... these can all be teachers for us, they can all lead us to the possibility of being more compassionate, more loving, more understanding. Therefore the true guru (the sad guru) is the Self. Music by Essie Jain Music: http://www.essiejain.com/

Podcast #67 - Life after Life Sep 19, 2015

Show notes

The accumulation of all of our past experiences influences our thoughts, words, and actions in the present moment. Yoga practice helps us to become aware of these subtle causes and conditions which influence our behavior and reactions.

Podcast #66 - Its Not What you Say, Its How you Say it Aug 09, 2015

Show notes

The practice of "nada yoga" or sound yoga tunes our bodies, hearts, and minds to the harmony of the universe. Live music by Kirsten McCord: http://kirstenmccord.com/

Podcast #65 - Why We Love War Jul 18, 2015

Show notes

Understanding the nature of conflict, and the nature of our response to conflict or our perceived enemies (external or internal) is key to learning to stop the war. Watching our response to obstacles or hinderances during practice can give us insight as to how we are waging war with our inner demons. Music by Kevin Nathaniel: http://www.mbirasanctuary.com/

Podcast #64 - Flesh. Blood. Bones. Empty Space. Jun 22, 2015

Show notes

We are not the solidly material selves we imagine ourselves to be. Our bodies are energy and space, on a quantum level. We imagine that we are solid bodies, resting on other solid bodies. This is an illusion. What if we identified with the space and energy that comprise our bodies rather than the 'solid' matter?

Podcast #63 - What is the meaning of life? May 15, 2015

Show notes

We spend much of our lives searching for meaning, when it is in fact up to each of us to create meaning in our lives. Death awareness can help to re-prioritize so that we can focus our precious energy on those things that give our lives the most meaning. The practice is a hamstring/hanumanasana focused practice. It could be helpful to have a belt and a coin or sticky dot to follow along with the alignment activity in surya namaskar.
