  • Need better sound of guest

    The content is so so great. But the volume of the guest speaker’s voice is noticeably lower than the voice of the host. Often one has to strain to hear them.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 42: Practice with Integrity- Lois Steinberg
Q: How did you come into the Iyengar yoga method?
She describes starting at age 14 after seeing a televised display, falling in love with the practice, encountering the first book Light on Yoga, and eventually joining a local teacher in San Diego before continuing deep immersion in Pune.
Episode 45: Sangeet part 4 -Life is a Spontaneous Drama - Prashant Iyengar
Q: I believe it was in the second session you discussed how the pitch when chanting Om in the early morning is lower. Does that pitch change throughout the day?
Yes, the pitch changes with body chemistry; morning voice tends to be lower due to Kapha, and as the day progresses through Kapha, Pitta, and Vata cycles, the vocal pitch shifts accordingly.
Re-Release of Episode 3: The Most Generous Guru - Gulnaaz Dashti
Q: How do we keep his legacy in the forefront with our teaching?
We have to really practice, understand a little bit, then try to convey the message.
Episode 38: The Blessing of Laxmi - Prashant Iyengar
Q: Are there other accounts of blessings that come in dreams to people?
There are many kinds of dreams, including revelatory dreams that can signify prophecies or blessings.
Episode 37: External Circumstances Did Not Impede His Devotion- Marla Apt
Q: What advice would you give to younger teachers coming up, how to keep Guruji's legacy?
Keep studying and keep practicing. Obviously, I'm sure everybody says just keep practicing, but I mean, practicing with guidance.
