As a result of the LA fires, many are going through PTSD, grief, and slow recovery. Now we're left with complicated feelings of loss and survivor's guilt. Using myself as a case study (whilst grieving all the Case Study houses that burnt down in Altadena and the Palisades!) we traverse the singed and smoking landscape of making sense after the fires.

Get in the ring! Yoga Ethics for Modern Living is back for another round. In this episode we talk finding contentment, or Santosha, the second Niyama in the Yoga Sutras. Like Rihanna sang, it's possible to find love in a hopeless place - within. Like The Dude in the Big Lebowski, we too can abide in Santosha.

We’re taking out the trash on this episode of Yoga Ethics for Modern Living, as we take a freestyle look at the first Niyama, Saucha, aka Purity. Of mind, of body, of environment.. Lets gooooooo!

Mentioned in the episode: Patanjali Yoga Sutra 2.40

On the bonus we explore the pipeline from mental breakdowns to nazism, the relationship between Bianca Censori, autism, and chemtrails, and I get illegally evicted after a catastrophic fire. Strap in and strap on.

Smile though your heart is aching,

Smile even though it's breaking,

When there are clouds in the sky you'll get by,

If you smile through your fear and sorrow,

Smile and maybe tomorrow

You'll see the sun come shining through for you <3

The windstorm was upon us, the fire was burning, but we were still waiting for evacuation orders and the end of everything we knew. Also, my final Desert Island Jukebox, featuring Bowie, Lewis, Lymon, Thorne, and The Walker Brothers. A true testiment to the power of music to keep us sane in the scariest of times. KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE DONUT, NOT THE HOLE.
