Taking refuge from the world together

In the conversation on what yoga lineage is and why it matters, I knew that Richard Freeman, Mary Taylor and Barbara Benagh would offer a multidisciplinary, intersectional conversation that carries both deep respect for what has come before us and a passionate, insightful caring about what may be coming—not just for wisdom tradition practitioners but for the world as a whole. These three have contributed so much to modern yoga and offered what I see as a lasting legacy of wisdom, humility, and grace. In this conversation, we talk about all kinds of things: Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, how paradox is something that is loved by the yogic traditions, and how your mind goes into a suspension when you’re really deeply practicing in a wisdom tradition. This talk is deeply philosophical, lovingkindness-based, and community centric.
