What I wrote a a short while ago, holds true & surprised me today as I breathe on behalf of my soulmate : As an artist who was also a teenage practitioner of yoga I’m always aware that everyone is both teacher and student in various seasons. Kino came into my consciousness at a time when extra stress from current events & scheduling my own work - was becoming a REALLY big problem. Kino reminde... more

  • Best yoga podcast

    Thank you Kino for the gift of this podcast. I’m a longtime student of yours and a member of Omstars. I really appreciate that you share your knowledge with people and don’t try to sell us anything. Other podcasts are beginning to be unlistenable because of the ads. And thank you for sticking with the Ashtanga tradition and continuing the lineage. Love you

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#230 Yoga is Mind Training: How to Steady the Mind Through Practice
Q: What do you do when strong emotions arise during practice and you start crying?
Recognize the emotion, observe the thoughts without believing them, return attention to breath, body, and mind, and either continue with gentleness or take a pause if needed; if intense, seek closing poses or a longer rest, and consider outside help if emotions are overwhelming.
#230 Yoga is Mind Training: How to Steady the Mind Through Practice
Q: What are the bandhas?
Bandhas are both a muscular engagement and an energetic practice; physically they involve controlled activation of pelvic floor and core muscles without locking them completely, while energetically they help contain and direct prana to support deeper aspects of yoga, with variations for different bodies and genders.
#227 Beyond Asana: The Complete Path of Yoga with Srivatsa Ramaswami
Q: What is the role of study and philosophy in a modern yoga practice, especially for teachers?
Study of texts like Yoga Sutras and Sankhya Karika is essential to understand the philosophy behind practice, enabling teachers to convey a deeper, more contextual understanding beyond physical postures.
#227 Beyond Asana: The Complete Path of Yoga with Srivatsa Ramaswami
Q: How does the Vinyasakrama method practically help students progress from basic to advanced postures?
The method uses a structured progression of preparatory and lead-in vinyasas matched to breathing, gradually loosening tight muscles and aligning the entire body to support postures like Padmasana.
#226 Avidyā: Lifting the Veil of Ignorance in Yoga
Q: Are you brave enough?
The host challenges the listener to continue exploring, practicing, and pushing beyond comfort to uncover deeper layers of knowledge and practice.
