Reflections on the year so far, and three things on where we're going
This week I review my 2023 conversations to date and reflect on some standout episodes, including: 1) Jason Crandell and plumbing the depths. 2) Jivana Heyman and his encouragement to use yoga to radically embrace all parts of yourself for the sake of activism. 3) Gail Parker's work reminding us that if we practice yoga, it’s our job to be thinking about how many people have the opportunity to do the same and, as teachers, how well we are able to meet all people where they are in class. I also talk about:
1) My upcoming conversation with Rob Schware and Beryl Bender Birch of Give Back Yoga Foundation and the yogic intelligence that we create and how that translates into yoga service.
2) The business of yoga: How can we make yoga more accessible to all while professionalizing it in the way it's offered to people?
3) Yoga lineage deep dive: I continue to be interested in the methodology for what master practitioners teach and want to look at how they are amplifying their messages and studies in the context of where we are in social media.
