Today's conversation is with Daniel Simpson 

Daniel is the author of The Truth of Yoga, a comprehensive guide to yoga history and philosophy. His approach is engaging and fun, making scholarly knowledge accessible and relevant to modern practitioners. Daniel holds a master's degree in yoga studies – from SOAS, University of London – and teaches courses at the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies, on yoga teacher trainings, and online. 

In today's conversation we spoke about the history of yoga, the historical appropriations through the age of various yogas, classical yoga as embodied practice, similar frameworks of phenomenology in yoga and rolfing, lineages and traditions, as well as excerpts from his wonderful new book and why "Truth Of Yoga" is a great place between academia and laymanship.
