Ashtanga Tech episodes
- Ethics as Practice (Yamas & Niyamas)The yamas and niyamas aren't a list of rules. They're a leak detector.8 min

- From Violence to Vision: The Radical Potential of Ashtanga Yoga to Combat Systemic OppresionAshtanga has a violence problem. Not in theory. Not as a metaphor. As a matter of record.9 min
