  • triyoga talks episode 11: Jason Crandell on his teacher training, politics + the evolution of yoga
    Subscribe: iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher
    Jason Crandell is an internationally renowned Vinyasa teacher who delivers his highly sought-after teacher training programmes around the globe, as well as writing for major yoga publications and delivering classes online.
    In this episode of triyoga talks, Jason answers some tough questions on the upcoming generation of yoga teachers, how yoga is evolving – for better or worse – in modern times, and whether yoga and politics should go hand in hand.
    On his 300-hour teacher training programme he says, “What I saw is that we needed fewer 200-hour programmes and that we needed to take [this] student base and provide a forum that allowed them to have additional levels of education.”
    He adds that new teachers should not be afraid to find their own voice and modify teachings, as long as they have a solid educational framework to work from: “What I think we need, is people who have structure but the capacity to develop their own focal points, voice and personality, and to put their own values within that structure.”
    When asked what globalisation and modernisation has brought – or taken away – from yoga he says, “In terms of physicality and biomechanics, I think we are continuing to go in a much better direction, as we are getting away from some of the inaccurate and ‘magical’ thinking about how bodies work.”

    Jason Crandell will be coming to triyoga Camden in January and February 2019 to deliver a three-day teacher programme, as well as a weekend workshop – the next evolution of vinyasa yoga. He will also be returning in August 2019 to deliver his 300-hour advanced teacher training programme. For more information on all of his upcoming workshops and trainings at triyoga, click here.

  • triyoga talks episode 10: yoga + food

    Subscribe: iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher

    Yoga practitioners can have a complicated relationship with food and become hyper-aware about what they do – and don’t – put in their body. In recent years we’ve seen the rise of the clean eating movement that divides food into two camps: heroes (kale, the avocado) and villains (meat, bread).

    Clean eating has been accused of being slimming in disguise. Eating disorders are not uncommon in the yoga community as the practices can trigger and reinforce certain behaviour patterns. And yet at the same time, yoga undoubtedly can play a redemptive role with its inherent message of self-acceptance, body appreciation and connection to the greater Self.

    On 1 November, we held a teacher’s symposium on this sometimes difficult topic in our Camden centre. What transpired was a fascinating look at the relationship between yoga and food, with insights from our expert panellists. For those who couldn’t attend, we’re releasing it here as a bonus episode in our ongoing triyoga talks podcast series. We hope you enjoy.

    Panellists at the symposium were:

    • Dr Melody Moore. A yoga teacher and clinical psychologist with a specialism in eating disorders. Melody is the founder of the Embody Love Movement, a non-profit with a mission to empower girls and women to see and celebrate their inner beauty.
    • Carolyn Cowan. A Kundalini yoga teacher, teacher trainer, and psychosexual therapist specialising in addiction and body image.
    • Tom Norrington-Davies. A KPJAYI authorised Ashtanga teacher, chef, cookbook author and former food columnist for the Guardian and Daily Telegraph.
    • Hannah Whittingham. Recovering anorexic, Vinyasa Yoga teacher, co-author of “Greed, Sex, Intention: Living Like a Yogi in the 21st Century”, and former student at the Royal Ballet.

      What is yoga? In September 2018, five of the world’s leading scholars on yoga philosophy gathered at a special triyoga teachers’ symposium to try to answer this deceptively simple question. The event sold out so, due to popular demand, we’re releasing it as a two-part podcast. If you missed out, you can now tune in to what proved to be a fascinating and thought-provoking discussion on a complex topic.

      This question itself is likely to provoke as many different answers as there are as many different practitioners, with thoughts and theories ranging from it being a spiritual path of enlightenment to a fitness regime in pursuit of the body beautiful. So who’s right and how is it that this ancient spiritual tradition has now become such a world-wide phenomenon where posture based practice dominates and proliferates on social media? Is what we practise today anything like the forms of practice that evolved from antiquity?

      In this episode, the panellists present their most current and pioneering research and direct experience.

      • Jason Birch received a doctorate in Oriental Studies (Sanskrit) from the University of Oxford. His area of research is the medieval yoga traditions of India, in particular those called Haṭha and Rājayoga, which he taught on at the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies, Loyola Marymount University and SOAS in London.
      • James Mallinson is a world renowned expert on Sanskrit and Classical Hatha Yoga and author of eight books including Roots of Yoga which he co-authored with Mark Singleton. He was the only Westerner ever to become a mahant – a senior sadhu (ascetic holy man) in a sect of yogis, which he has spent time with since he was 18.
      • Suzanne Newcombe is a lecturer in religious studies at the Open University and a research fellow at Inform, based at the London School of Economics. She has published chapters in several edited books on this subject, as well as articles in the Journal of Contemporary Religion, Religion Compass and Asian Medicine.
      • Richard Rosen began his practice of yoga in 1980 and graduated from the Iyengar Yoga Institute of San Francisco in 1985. He is the author of five books on yoga including The Yoga Of Breath: A Step-by-step Guide to Pranayama, Original Yoga, and Pranayama Beyond the Fundamentals: An Indepth Guide to Yogic Breathing.
      • Mark Singleton has published extensively on the history of yoga, including the books Yoga in the Modern World, Contemporary Perspectives and Yoga Body, the Origins of Modern Posture Practice as well as many book chapters and articles. His most recent book is Roots of Yoga, a sourcebook of yoga practice texts from the Indic traditions through the ages.

      • triyoga talks episode 8: Dr Melody Moore on #metoo, eating disorders + self-love

        Subscribe: iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher

        Dr Melody Moore is a yoga teacher and clinical psychologist with a specialisation in eating disorders. She is the founder of the Embody Love Movement, a non-profit with a mission to empower girls and women to see and celebrate their inner beauty.

        In this episode of triyoga talks, Dr Melody speaks about the importance of self-love, how media myths perpetuate a sense of ‘not enoughness’ and the complex relationship between contemporary yoga and eating disorders.

        Speaking on self-love, body image and the damage that media myths can do to our own sense of self-acceptance, she says, “Part of loving ourselves is recognising that [it] is not based on a condition. The truth is we are born loveable and so really the work towards self-love is letting go of all the messages that we’ve inherited… because inherently we are born enough.”

        On the #Me Too movement and women speaking up about their mistreatment, she says, “It’s always so liberating to be able to voice the truth…My hope is that women rising up in this movement will find a liberation and a freedom […] and be able to identify as survivors of these occurrences.”

        To hear more of Dr Melody’s advice on cultivating self-love and acceptance and how to support those struggling with eating disorders, listen to our full podcast online or subscribe using the buttons above.

        Dr Meldoy Moore will be coming to triyoga Camden this November for the fourth year in a row to teach a daylong for teachers and a weekend of workshops on self-approval and presence. For more information, click here.

      • triyoga talks episode 7: Vicky Fox on yoga for cancer + the value of community

        Subscribe: iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher

        Vicky first qualified as a Power yoga teacher in 2008, before taking a therapeutic specialisation in 2013 to teach ‘Yoga for Survivors’. She now teaches yoga for cancer for patients at any stage of their recovery, which she does at no charge. The classes are designed to provide a safe refuge to come and practise yoga, to build strength, increase range of motion and help to manage some of the anxiety and uncertainty associated with diagnosis and illness.

        In this episode of triyoga talks, Vicky Fox talks about how to hold space and support people living with pain, how yoga can help with the physical, emotional and mental effects of cancer, and the positive power of community and sharing.

        Speaking on how to support those living with pain, she says, “You just have to be able to sit with them sometimes and be with their pain. You can’t fix it, you can’t say anything to make it better, you just have to be present with them.”

        Vicky explains that even coming to the end of treatment can be a daunting and isolating time, as you are suddenly left without the support network that is provided during treatment. Coming to a class at this time can be helpful for people as it gives them “the opportunity to still have that community, to still have those people around that understand what they’ve been through, that they can talk to and get advice about things from.”

        To find out more about Vicky’s classes and how yoga can benefit anyone who has been affected by cancer in some way, listen to our full podcast online or subscribe using the buttons above.

        Vicky teaches her yoga for cancer classes in Chelsea on Thursdays at 11am and is now also offering a new class in Camden every Wednesday at 2pm. Both classes are completely free to attend. To view the schedule, click here.

        Vicky is also leading a two-hour yoga for cancer workshop on Sunday 21st October. For more information, click here.
