When you think about it, David Swenson has been distance teaching Ashtanga Yoga for decades with his VHS tapes and books. He recognised long before anyone else that students might not always be fortunate enough to be in the same room as their teacher — whether that was due to geography, personal circumstance or now Covid. Even so, he struggled in the early days to adapt to the technology of teaching online (like most teachers!) and in this triyoga talks podcast he spoke about moving from discomfort to ease and now enjoyment.Listen to our other podcasts in the ‘triyoga talks’ series here.You can subscribe to triyoga talks on iTunes | Spotify | StitcherThe post triyoga talks episode 38: ashtanga yoga in the age of Covid appeared first on triyoga.

Aisha Nash

Aisha Nash is an award-winning pastry chef who left behind the high-stress world of Michelin-starred restaurants to become a yoga teacher. As a teacher, however, she did not feel welcome in most modern yoga studios, which she says are not properly reflective of what yoga is, and who it is for.In this triyoga talks podcast, Aisha spoke about how the word “fat” has unnecessarily become an insult, and how people living in large bodies can feel excluded in a yoga class. She spoke about freeing ourselves from diet culture not just in January but beyond, why weight does not necessarily equate to health, and how the BMI (body mass index) is inherently flawed and racist.Listen to our other podcasts in the ‘triyoga talks’ series here.You can subscribe to triyoga talks on iTunes | Spotify | StitcherThe post Aisha Nash on anti-diet yoga: triyoga talks episode 37 appeared first on triyoga.

Matthew Sanford

Matthew Sanford at the age of 13 was paralysed from the chest down in a car accident that killed his father and sister. He spent three months at the Mayo Clinic, a world famous medical facility where paradoxically, the care he received increased his mind-body injury in what he calls corrective violence. Those doctors saved his life, yes, but the hospital experience itself was traumatising and ended up further separating Matthew’s mind from his body.|t was yoga, an ancient practice from India and not modern Western medicine, that rejoined his mind-body connection to the point where Matthew could feel sensation again. And he has dedicated his life to helping others feel the same. Matthew was certified to teach Iyengar Yoga by BKS Iyengar himself, and teaches yoga to the disabled as well as the abled, and founded MindBody Solutions, a non-profit organisation dedicated to transforming trauma, loss and disability into hope and potential.In this triyoga talks podcast, Matthew spoke about feeling sensation when his doctors said he couldn’t.

At the height of the HIV/AIDS hysteria of the ’80s, Faith Hunter’s two brothers were diagnosed HIV positive after being treated for Hemophilia with contaminated blood. The experience brought her closer to her family, taught her how to express herself and, ultimately, took her to the mat. Now, she owns her own studio in Washington, D.C and works to help as many people as possible heal their wounds through yoga – whether they be emotional or physical. This episode Faith goes deep on difficult topics like losing a sibling to AIDS, learning to care for ourselves when we are taught only to care for others and what it means to ‘ghost your feelings’. We also talked to Faith about being a person of colour in the yoga world, holding more space for those who need it and serving our entire community – not just those who agree with us. It’s a must-listen episode for everyone looking for answers to the tough questions and some inspiration along the way.

Gahl Sasson

Just as he was planning to move on to his PhD in Clinical Psychology, Gahl Sasson’s professor stopped him. He refused to write a letter of recommendation. Why? Gahl was simply too creative for the profession. And thank goodness for that: Gahl left to go surfing in California, stumbled on the world of astrology and the rest is history. Now, he is a trusted astrologer, established author and has been teaching workshops on kabbalah, astrology and mysticism around the globe for over a decade. In this episode of triyoga talks, Gahl answers all our burning astrology questions, like: What is it? Where does it come from? How does it affect us? What should we expect in 2020? And what, really, is Mercury retrograde? Curious? We’d be surprised if you weren’t. It’s an exclusive look into this age-old practice and the year to come with one of our favourite stargazers. Once you’ve finished the episode, be sure to book your spot in one of his upcoming January workshops. Click here to learn more about Gahl’s workshop on 17th January 2020 – ‘the astrology of 2020: the dawning of a new age’.  Click here to learn more about Gahl’s workshop with Laura Day on 18th January 2020 – ‘rise like a phoenix: how to find opportunities in crisis’.

Jivana Heyman

Jivana Heyman is on a mission to bring the heart of yoga and its practices to long marginalised and under-represented groups. As a social activist, he advocates equal and fair treatment for all people in the yoga space – the disabled, the elderly, the chronically ill, the bigger bodied, the economically disadvantaged. He founded Accessible Yoga, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to bringing the practices of yoga to everyone, regardless of their economic status, race, sexuality, gender identity or ability. In doing so he helped spark a movement to make everyone and anyone feel welcome in a yoga class so they can experience the benefits of yoga. In this episode of triyoga talks, we hear Jivana’s views on yoga as a human right, how to work with students with differing abilities and whether there should be more specialised classes in studios. On diversity, he says: “There is this universal truth that we all share a spirit; that’s what the yoga teachings tell us, that we have this atman and it’s the same in all of us. But then experience of our lives is so different and unique – and I feel that piece is lost in most yoga spaces.” Click here for details of Jivana’s accessible yoga training at triyoga Camden, 19th – 21st November 2019.

Paul Grilley

Yin yoga is one of the fastest-growing and most practised styles of yoga worldwide. Hear its origin story straight from the source as we sit down with Paul Grilley, the founder and developer of yin yoga as we know it today. During our chat, Paul walks us through yin yoga’s three threads (anatomy, practice and Chinese/Indian energetic theory), the benefits of a regular practice and who should (and shouldn’t) be practising this style – speaking specifically to pregnant women and hypermobile students. After debunking common myths about yin yoga, Paul says, “Other than restorative, yoga yin is one of the most gentle practices that I know… This idea that yin yoga is in the constant pursuit of the full range of motion is false. It’s a conflation of the idea that yin yoga has the potential of opening your joints in ways that yang yoga doesn’t.” Sign up for Paul’s online workshops at triyoga:  Chakra meditation: nyasa (30th April 2020) Yin yoga: the five archetypal poses (9th May 2020) Listen to our other podcasts in the ‘triyoga talks’ series here.

Lolly Stirk

Subscribe: iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher Lolly Stirk moved to London from South Africa in 1969. Upon arrival, she immediately found herself drawn into the world of yoga and psychoanalysis. She developed her yoga practice under legendary teachers such as Donna Holleman and Vanda Scaravelli, nurturing an intimate connection to her body and breath – both foundational principals of active birth. The joyful experience of giving birth to her daughter at home is what drove Lolly to start teaching yoga to pregnant women. Hers were among the very first pregnancy yoga classes in London in the early 1980s. Lolly has since dedicated her life to helping women give birth on their own terms. She is one of the pioneers of the active birth movement, a revolution that is changing the way women give birth in this country. In this episode of triyoga talks, Lolly shares memories from the birth of her daughter and how this powerful experience changed her life. She speaks about why pregnancy yoga should be more than modified poses and how her classes and trainings are created to enhance and support the natural changes happening during pregnancy. Lolly also discusses reasons why nurturing a close-knit community is so valuable for new mums and mums to be. She says, “This kind of building of community, particularly in a yoga studio is an incredible thing to do. It can become a bit anonymous if they don’t get that human factor of relating to each other and seeing the other person. It’s a wonderful thing.” Click here to join Lolly at her next active birth and hypnobreathing monthly workshop open to mums and their birthing partners at triyoga Chelsea.

Alexandria Crow

Subscribe: iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher To mark International Women’s Day on 08th March, we spoke with Alexandria Crow, a leading female voice in the yoga world. Known to be fearless and blunt, Alexandria has strong opinions and isn’t afraid to express them, whether she’s questioning conventional definitions of advanced yoga or busting yoga myths. Having trained at YogaWorks under James Brown, Alexandria has taught on YogaWorks’ teacher trainings, appeared on numerous MyYogaWorks online classes and graced the covers of Yoga Journal. In this episode, she tackles the difficult topic of gender inequality in yoga and how women practitioners often face more criticism than their male counterparts. On the differing reactions to male and female behaviours and representations in yoga, she says: “It tends to be easier to point the cannons at women and to question them, and I think we’re so used to defending ourselves and explaining ourselves, and putting tons of emotional effort into that, that we don’t really notice it as much until it is pointed out. I think it does have to do with it not being as easy to question a man from a women’s perspective – and often times, there’re a lot of techniques to get you to be quiet, or to undermine you or shut you up. So, is it worth the effort? And I think it is, I absolutely think it is, which is why I’m willing to speak up.” Alexandria also dives into the subject of social media and how teachers can navigate its turbulent waters, and how to define and promote authenticity in today’s multi-disciplined studios.

Beryl Bender Birch

Subscribe: iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher In the 1980s, Beryl Bender Birch famously coined the term “power yoga,” and in doing so brought the practice of ashtanga yoga to the high-energy masses in Manhattan at the New York Road Runners Club, where she was the wellness director. The influential and best-selling book “Power Yoga” soon followed and, today many teachers credit it as being the first yoga book they ever bought. Three more books followed, each progressing deeper into the many practices of yoga including philosophy and meditation. She broadened out her student base from the athletic at first, to the aging as well as those in active military service. She is also a pioneer for yoga and social justice having co-founded the inspiring non-profit organisation Give Back Yoga Foundation. In this episode of triyoga talks, Beryl discusses everything from the origin of “power yoga” to practising under the fierce ashtanga teacher Norman Allen to supporting first-responders and veterans through trauma-sensitive yoga. When speaking about the evolution of one’s practice, Beryl sums up the journey quite poetically, stating: “I think all our practices in yoga, whether it’s asana, pranayama or meditation, are progressively requiring us to pay attention in a more subtle way. We start out paying attention to the physical body and once we get that straightened out, we start to become more aware, more conscious, our circle of compassion expands.” To access this inspiring conversation about power, presence and accessibility, listen to the full podcast online or subscribe using the buttons above.

Melody Moore

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.

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.  Listen to part 2 of this podcast here.

Cyndi Lee

Subscribe: iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher Cyndi Lee was raised on the idyllic Puget Sound where she grew up playing on beaches and climbing trees in the forest. While attending the University of California Irvine as a dance major, she discovered yoga (or it discovered her), and she immediately delved into all its practices, learning asana, transcendental meditation, chanting and kriyas. Eventually, she opened the legendary Om Yoga Centre on 14th Street, an institution that started the yoga boom in New York City. She met her guru, the recently deceased Tibetan lama Gelek Rimpoche, in the late 1980s and went on to become an ordained Lay Buddhist chaplain. Today she merges Buddhism and yoga in her personal practice and on her teacher trainings. In this episode of triyoga talks, Cyndi shares her personal experiences from being at the forefront of the yoga explosion in Manhattan in the 1990s, the differentiation between mindfulness and meditation, mindfulness as a gateway to deeper study, western insights on Buddhist philosophy and her take on the increasing popularity of meditation across the globe. When discussing state of mind during meditation, Cyndi said, “Everything arises, bides and dissolves on its own. The thoughts that we have are results of the causes and conditions of our life. So the idea of trying to get rid of our thoughts is considered a self aggression… We are training ourselves to be stable within this swirl of thoughts and to get familiar with it and become friends with it.” Listen to our full podcast online or subscribe using the buttons above.

Jason Crandell

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.” To hear more of Jason Crandell’s views on teaching, adjustments and modern-day yoga, listen to our full podcast online or subscribe using the buttons above. 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.

Child model for Vogue, original 70s punk on King’s Road, body painter for music legends such as Freddie Mercury and Elton John – the list goes on and on. After two decades of drink, drugs and gambling, it was David Bowie who took Carolyn to her first NA meeting at the age of 31. She’s been clean and sober ever since – 29 years. Today, Carolyn Cowan is one of London’s foremost Kundalini yoga teachers and a well-respected psycho-sexual and relationship therapist. Her charisma, humour and intimate understanding of life’s tough topics creates a friendly and authentic atmosphere that attracts a wonderfully diverse mix of students. In this episode of triyoga talks, Carolyn discusses how losing everything and shifting identities has informed her fearless approach to living life and teaching yoga. She also shares her views on the 12 step programme and her belief that anxiety, compulsive behaviour and addiction are not diseases, but actions rooted in shame, abuse and trauma. When asked about sexuality and inclusiveness within the yoga community, Carolyn says: “Within the community of LGBTQI the expansion of yoga is a really cool thing because a lot of the meeting places are in clubs, bars and shows.

Sharon Gannon

Subscribe: iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher Sharon Gannon is an author, musician and animal rights activist. She is perhaps best known as the co-creator of Jivamukti yoga, a path to enlightenment through compassion for all beings. In this latest episode in our podcast series, she talks with Genny Wilkinson Priest on the nature of teachers and students, her own personal sadhana and more. When asked if the best yoga teachers are the one who have suffered, she says, “I don’t know if I could say 100 per cent that’s true. What somebody suffers in this lifetime, or doesn’t suffer in this lifetime, doesn’t portray the whole many past lives that that jiva, that individual soul had. So, sometimes, we see people and we say ‘wow, they’re really riding on easy street, they’ve had so much luck in their life,’ but we don’t know what kind of suffering they went through in previous lives.” On being a student, she says, “A good student should not be an adult, because the definition of an adult is someone who has stopped growing.” On teaching she adds, “You would expect if you were going to a doctor, that the doctor did the job well. We should expect the piano teacher to know how to play piano and have a deep experience with music. A lot of yoga teachers these days don’t go deeply into the yoga practice themselves… If you’re going to devote yourself to yoga, it’s a 24-hour job.” Sharon Gannon will be teaching two workshops on the 15-16 September at the Oval Space, London. Sign up for the full weekend or individual workshops here. To purchase Sharon’s best-selling novel “The Magic Ten and Beyond” visit the shop in one of our centres.

Max Strom

Subscribe: iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher Wellness and breathing expert Max Strom is one of the world’s most respected yoga teachers. He is a TEDx speaker and best-selling author, travelling from the west coast of America to continental Europe and the Middle East, giving speeches to major corporations, government bodies and hospitals. In this episode of triyoga talks, Max discusses the ethics a yoga teacher should uphold, how breathing techniques can release feelings of grief, and how technology is driving us apart instead of bringing us closer together. Speaking on happiness, he says, “I don’t think I really started discovering a continuous feeling of happiness until I started practising Hatha yoga. After practice, I would have tears running down my face and I had no idea why… What was happening was all the grief I had suppressed was leaking out because of the ocean breathing – or ujjayi breath. It wasn’t that it was making me happy; it was unburdening me.” Max’s best-selling book, “There is no app for happiness,” argues that technology is contributing to unhappiness and creating an obstacle to intimacy. The key, Max teaches, is in our breathing. “Our society now needs breathing patterns more than we have ever needed them, because of the explosion of anxiety, depression and sleep disfunction… To me, because breathwork can help so much, it is the primary thing we should be offering [people] and have the postures support a breathing practice.” Max has also developed his own code of ethics for yoga teachers, based on existing teachings, which he calls the five causes.To find out more about Max’s five causes and his further thoughts on breathing, grief and the UK’s new ministry for loneliness, listen to our full podcast online or subscribe using the buttons above. Max will be teaching a weekend of workshops on “from chaos to beauty” at triyoga Shoreditch from 17th-18th November. He will be covering how movement and breathing patterns can release us from our own self-built prisons. He is also be running a special workshop for men, “the calibrated man,” on 16th November.

Richard Rosen

Subscribe: iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher Richard Rosen has been a student of yoga for nearly 40 years. He trained at the Iyengar Yoga Institute in the 1980s and, in 1987, co-founded the Piedmont Yoga Studio with Rodney Yee. He has also written four authoritative books on breath, pranayama and the traditional practices of yoga. In the latest podcast in our triyoga talks series, he talks with Genny Wilkinson Priest about yoga in the modern world, how traditional practices have evolved over the centuries, and whether there is really any such thing as authentic yoga. When asked whether yoga’s popularity opens it up to distortion, he says, “Westerners are often accused by traditionalists of distorting yoga. But the fact is that what we received was already a distorted version of the practice to begin with; although we were told differently and we didn’t really know what we were getting. “And the question is, why did this happen? The Indian teachers who reinvented yoga, they found themselves between a rock and a hard place. Regarding the practice, the one thing that they valued most was age and tradition. The older something was, they believed the more authority it had. So they distrusted innovation and newness. The problem was then that what they had in their hands was an entirely new form of yoga, which by their own standards lacked authority.” On the purpose of asana and whether it matters why we practice, he adds, “I think it matters more how you practise yoga than why. You can probably practise yoga for self-aggrandisement or to profit off it in some way. Even practising for the wrong reasons, we might reserve judgment to see if the practice changes the student’s purpose. Despite all its shortcomings, modern yoga can have a really transformative effect, even if you’re not really expecting it. In yoga, it is really important how you practise, with attention and with dedication.” Richard will be teaching an online workshop with Annie Carpenter entitled ‘the evolving practice’ on 8th September 2020.

Yogi Bhajan

Subscribe: iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa is a teacher of Kundalini yoga and a pioneer in the field of pre-natal yoga. She studied directly with Yogi Bhajan, who gave her her Sikh spiritual name meaning “one who helps people across the world ocean”. Since then, she has dedicated her life to fulfilling that responsibility – co-founding and directing Golden Bridge with her husband Gurushabd, the premier centre for the study and practice of Kundalini yoga and meditation in Los Angeles, and travelling around the globe to share her teachings. In this episode of triyoga talks, Gurmukh and Gurushabd talk about their experiences of studying with Yogi Bhajan, the vast oral history and traditions of Kundalini yoga and how Gurmurkh’s own experiences and grief shaped her teaching of yoga for pregnant women. Speaking on life’s struggles, she says, “Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any obstacles it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as we could have been. We could never fly.” On teaching, she adds, “You’ve got to […] find those who aren’t as lucky as you and say, how may I serve you? I don’t know a better gift than giving to the world and those who are suffering:  yoga, meditation, and going within.” To find out more about Gurmukh and Gurushabd and the history of Kundalini, listen to our full podcast online or subscribe using the buttons above. Gurumukh and Gurushabd are leading a three-day workshop, spirit in action: the awakening, at triyoga Camden from 14 – 16 December.

Subscribe: iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher Following the death of his mother when he was 16 years old, J Brown moved to New York and eventually, in 1995, began to reconcile her death through yoga. Having practised Jivamukti, Ashtanga and Iyengar yoga, he settled on a therapeutic orientation inspired by Desikachar and Krishnamacharya. He went on to coin the phrase “gently is the new advanced” and opened his own yoga studio in Brooklyn, geared towards feeling well and lessening pain. He now lives in Pennsylvania and travels the world teaching his signature style. In this episode of triyoga talks, we look back at 2018 and get J’s views on some of this year’s key events in the world of yoga. Topics under the spotlight include whether or not the yoga community needs an alliance and, if so, what role it plays, the commodification of yoga through social media, and how further outreach could help make yoga more accessible. J also shares his thoughts on yoga in the age of #metoo, yoga’s role in social consciousness and whether recent scandals have change the role of the guru.
