January 31, 2020 Memories of TKV Desikachar: Larry Payne
This is the second in a series of short episodes that celebrate the beloved yoga teacher TKV Desikachar who died in 2016.
Desikachar was the son of legendary yoga master T Krishnamacharya and teacher to the philosopher J Krishnamurti. He was a pioneer in the field of yoga therapy and author of the influential book The Heart of Yoga, published in 1995.
This episode features highlights from an interview I recorded with Larry Payne, back in September 2018. In these excerpts Larry tells us of his first meeting with Desikachar and his father Krishnamacharya, and how his studies with Desikachar served as the foundation for his groundbreaking work in developing yoga therapy in the United States.
Larry is the author of many books on yoga including the bestselling Yoga for Dummies book. In 1989, along with Dr. Richard Miller who I featured on the last episode of the podcast, he founded the International Association for Yoga Therapy. Larry went on to create the popular Yoga Rx program at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles where he continues to serve as coordinator and primary instructor.

November 11, 2019 MPP49 Dr. Ben Sessa: Psychedelic Psychotherapy
Dr Ben Sessa (MBBS BSc MRCPsych) is a consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist. He trained at UCL medical school, graduating in 1997, and he is interested in the developmental trajectory from child maltreatment to adult mental health disorders.
Dr Sessa is an approved MDMA and psilocybin psychotherapist, currently a senior research fellow at Bristol and Imperial College London Universities, where he is conducting the UK's first clinical study with MDMA-assisted therapy for the treatment of PTSD and alcohol dependence syndrome. He is also lead therapist on Bristol-based study investigating the role for psilocybin therapy for depression. He is currently working with industry figures to set-up a network of UK-based psychedelic therapy clinics.
In the last ten years he has worked on several UK-based human pharmacology trials as study doctor or as a healthy subject administering and receiving test doses of LSD, DMT, psilocybin, MDMA and ketamine. He is the author of several dozen peer-reviewed articles in the mainstream medical press and has written two books exploring psychedelic medicine; The Psychedelic Renaissance (2012 / 2017) and To Fathom Hell or Soar Angelic (2015). In speaking publicly at universities and medical conferences, Dr Sessa is outspoken on lobbying for change in the current system by which drugs are classified in the UK, believing a more progressive policy of regulation would reduce the harms of recreational drug use and provide increased opportunities for clinical psychedelic research.
He is a co-founder and director of the UK's Breaking Convention conference.
