Using the Mind is a Good Thing
I enjoyed this chat with Ron Purser on the Mindful Cranks podcast. 🎧
As Ron explains in the intro, we worked together on his book McMindfulness, and first met to discuss ideas for my MA dissertation on a similar topic.
To quote the show notes:
“Our conversation dives deep into the complex and patchy history of yoga, swimming through early, classical and hatha yoga – along with some interesting observations on modern yoga, including whether Silent Disco Yoga is a thing! Kidding aside, this is a serious conversation – and I learned a great deal, especially just how fertile the soil was when the yogic traditions were taking hold – and the creative cross-fertilization between classical yoga traditions and the Buddhists at the time.”
It’s a good introduction to The Truth of Yoga, with digressions on corporate news and playing jazz. You can find the podcast on all major platforms, or on this site.
