This week Unmapped brings the spiritual and health-conscious of us an absolute treat. We’re speaking with David Goulet; one of the world’s most experienced practitioners of yoga. No, seriously. After studying with the revered Swami Gitananda in the early 70s, David has maintained an hours-long, daily practice of yoga for FIFTY-FIVE years.
To put that in perspective: at the chronological age of 78, he had his DNA tested to tell him his biological age: 48 years old. Yep. This guy has been doing yoga for longer than his own cells think his body has been alive.
David now lives on Ko Phan Gan, where he runs Chakra Yoga, one of the world’s most extensive teacher training programs for would-be yoga instructors.
The depths of our human and universal existence can be examined at levels barely believable to the naked, over-stimulated human senses. David takes us on a deep journey through the human body and into the cosmos, detailing with precision realities Eastern contemplative practices have known for centuries; realities science is beginning to (loosely) comprehend.
This one is a banger. Scarcely believable at times, but for those willing to approach it with an open mind, a treasure trove of universal wisdom.
