Glāni (depression, lethargy, inertia, apathy, cynical pessimism and ‘What’s-the-fcking-point'-ness) can easily arise when we are made uncomfortable with uncertainty. But here’s the thing: none of us ever know what is going to happen next. When we surrender and open to not knowing, anything is possible. Enjoy this ‘rah-rah’ satsang-esque episode!

This week I’m joined again by Kate Plummer, one half of @phoenix.yoga. Kate is a highly experienced senior Yoga teacher teaching from the Viniyoga perspective. Born in the UK she now lives in rural SW France and teaches alongside her husband, Marc. If you have an idea of what a Yoga teacher should be, you'll probably find they don't conform to it!

Get Kate’s new e-book for some extra ideas on how to combine the Viniyoga approach with your Yoga teaching here: https://phoenixyogafrance.us9.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=a0514012e0534070e6a6609be&id=8155349540

This week I’m joined by Tori Hicks-Glogowski whose super power is to take a student stuck in the beginner yoga world and move them into something much more challenging and fun, teaching them the foundations and fundamentals to fly, float, and bend in a whole new way to transform not only their practice, but their lives. It’s a VERY fun convo, with more than the usual number of diversions and sidebars.

Paramahansa Yogananda devoted his life to the spread of knowledge about the techniques of Yoga and meditation. His famous work ‘Autobiography of a Yogi’ is arguably the most famous work for seekers and was famously handed out to mourners at the wake of Steve Jobs. In this Episode we’re taking a look at one of his other important offerings, the ‘Lessons’. Digressions include Meghan Markle, me dragging my friend all over LA and a quick trip to Auckland?
