  • Excellent

    Very interesting conversations lately about the business of yoga and yoga’s role in our lives. Reminds me that 20 years ago I bought a $9.99 Bryan Kest power yoga DVD and honestly it contains everything I needed to know—a lifetime of practice for $10.

    Love you man, be enough with the Christianity. Can we re-center on yoga?

  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Natureza Gabriel Kram - "Reconciling Polyvagal Theory"
Q: Why did you move to breath as opposed to heart rate variability?
Kram says respiration offers a more comprehensive signal of autonomic state because the breathing system reads and updates that state. He adds that heart-rate variability became the established metric partly because earlier researchers lacked the computing capacity to analyze continuous breathing signals.
Natureza Gabriel Kram - "Reconciling Polyvagal Theory"
Q: I'm curious about Polyvagal Theory's origins. Were there like precursors to Polyvagal Theory, like stuff or particular scientists who are saying things that Porges is drawing upon?
Kram traces the theory to Stephen Porges's work with heart-rate variability in infants and his effort to explain why vagal activity can be both protective and life-threatening. He describes Porges's distinction between different vagal pathways as a departure from the earlier seesaw model of sympathetic and parasympathetic activity.
Leila Stuart - "Interoceptive Awareness, Deeper Sense of Self"
Q: And that changed everything in what ways? How did the Panchakarma come into play?
Stuart describes arriving for Panchakarma in a wheelchair and being treated gently for three weeks. She says the swelling in her joints fell by roughly 90 percent, allowing her to walk, and the experience restored hope and gradually helped her regain energy and stamina.
Leila Stuart - "Interoceptive Awareness, Deeper Sense of Self"
Q: Can you say something about that? You were diagnosed with, what, psoriatic arthritis, is that right?
Stuart says she had been diagnosed with chronic fatigue and psoriatic arthritis, leaving her exhausted and in severe pain. Her existing movement and awareness practices helped her manage symptoms and reduce suffering, even while the swelling repeatedly returned.
Devarshi Steven Hartman - "Infinite, Eternal, and Whole"
Q: How do you reconcile the authority of a guru with episodes of betrayal within spiritual lineages?
Hartman discusses how personal experience and accountability matter more than the guru's actions, highlighting transference and the importance of focusing on the practices.
