The Glo Podcast

Dr. Christopher Chapple is Doshi Professor of Indic and Comparative Theology and founding Director of the Master of Arts in Yoga Studies at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. He’s published over 20 books about Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Yoga, and religion and ecology. He’s also a featured instructor on Glo.

In five bonus episodes, Dr. Chapple will give you a taste of the history of yoga. Telling the story of yoga’s history is challenging for many  reasons. It’s a history that spans thousands of years and many cultures and can vary by interpretation, personal perspective and agendas. And it isn’t a history that is easily told in serial, chronological time. In the West, we like to think of history as “one thing happening after another.” the Bible, for example, starts with the words “in the beginning …” 

But in India, our relationship with time is different. It’s maybe more of a spiral with feedback loops rather than a straight line. So, in this series of lectures, you can expect a journey that goes deeper and deeper. To the seeker of knowledge, they will, as these stories always have, take you on a journey to understand where we came from and who we are now. 

“Drag in itself is a form of political action,” Marti Gould Cummings has told The Advocate. “My work not only in drag but in NYC politics has led me to run for city council.” 

Guest host Mark Osmundsen, a Glo teacher, interviews Marti about representation for queer people in city, state, and federal government. They also discuss the healing and self-care practices Marti has adopted to cope with bipolar II disorder, and a suicide attempt. 

Knowing you’re not alone, Marti says, can contribute to healing. And in sharing their struggles, Marti believes, will help others to seek support.

The holistic psychologist and author Nicole LePera wants her clients and patients to feel more comfortable with being uncomfortable. She says that experiencing discomfort helps us develop resilience. This is what gives us all the courage to risk more and try new things. 

This was part of her education into understanding why many of her clients had incredible insights and awareness about themselves, but still felt stuck in therapy. She empathized, often feeling as stuck as they did. A door opened for her when she started to include the body in her study of the mind. She saw the role of how both genetics and our environment played in shaping our personality and our connection to each other.

Celest Pereira, a physiotherapy expert, joins guest host Marc Laws II, a Glo instructor, in a conversation about neuroscience and biomechanics. 

In previous episodes of The Glo Podcast, we’ve talked about how the brain perceives and creates the world we experience. Celest brings a new chapter to those conversations. She and Marc discuss nociceptors, the sensory neurons that respond to potentially damaging stimuli by sending “possible threat” signals to the spinal cord and brain. The brain creates the sensation of pain to call attention to the part of the body that might be at risk. 

Celest is a co-author, with Adell Bridges, of Too Flexible To Feel Good, a book for double-jointed or overly flexible people who struggle with injuries in their yoga practice. She is also the host of the Love at First Science podcast.
