What does it take to keep a podcast going, year after year? J. Brown has been hosting Yoga Talks since 2015, so I thought I’d inquire! As J. admits, he likes stirring things up. His blog bills him as: “outspoken and sometimes controversial", and notes that his approach "has sparked broad discussions". This one is no less wide-ranging. Among other topics, we talk about:
* The backlash to some of his episodes, and how he handles criticism
* A shift away from polarisation to more harmonious forms of dialogue
* What inspires his choice of guests, and his approach to yoga generally
* Why he rejected his parents’ religion, and found solace in practices
* How he reconciles resistance to authority with embrace of a deity
Separately, there's still time to join me for my online course on the Yoga Sūtra “beyond eight limbs” – you can do that here.
