  • Great session

    A thoughtful heartfelt interview that’s not built on celebrity names. Another great podcast! I love the fact that you don’t limit yoga to a few modalities or styles but is happy to go on the journey to explore how different people may find it in their own unique way.

  • You can have premium material on any podcast but to cut a podcast in the middle of an interview and tell people if they want to listen to the other part they have to pay is something that is not done. You can offer premium content but not violently cut and interview in the middle you just don't do that.

  • Too annoying lately

    I’ve decide to stop listening after the last several months of hearing J only refer God in the male gender.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jillian Pransky - "The Power of the Pause"
Q: Did your dad kind of get to know you once you were more grounded in the principles that you talk about in the book?
Jillian explains that the practice allowed for a decade of love and a different kind of relationship with his father, leading to forgiveness and a more open, understanding dynamic. She emphasizes boundaries when needed and the growth that comes from deep personal work.
Sage Rountree - "At the Edges of Comfort and Consciousness"
Q: How does the book handle the tension between traditional yoga philosophy and modern, secularized presentations of the practice?
It acknowledges secular contexts while reintroducing direction, meaning, and purpose, showing that yoga can be a spiritual or non-dogmatic approach without compromising depth.
Sage Rountree - "At the Edges of Comfort and Consciousness"
Q: Who is the ideal reader for Yoga Off the Mat, and why would a practitioner pick up this book?
The book targets yoga teachers and practitioners who sense there is more to yoga than asanas, offering signposts and practical actions to integrate philosophy into daily life and learning.
Sage Rountree - "At the Edges of Comfort and Consciousness"
Q: Did you have to align philosophically with your co-author when writing Yoga Off the Mat, given the breadth of concepts you cover?
Yes, we discussed how to present a broad tapestry of yoga ideas in a way that's accessible, balancing scholarly context with practical, relatable guidance for readers and teachers.
Leslie Kaminoff - "The #1 Yoga Book on Amazon is an AI Fraud"
Q: What inspired you to write the blog post about AI and yoga publishing?
Leslie explains that the blog was sparked by observing AI-generated chair yoga titles in top rankings, concerns about copyright, and the need to alert the community about fraudulent content while exploring how AI could be used responsibly as a writing and research tool.
