How far can yoga heal “a deeply troubled society”? When Carol Horton published these words in 2012, she was optimistic, becoming immersed in “yoga service”. But her experiences have left her more sceptical.As we explore in this wide-ranging chat, yoga can still be a helpful resource, but the extent to which it changes us depends on intentions – including an interest in seeing past blind spots. It's also shaped by cultural context, so broader social and political trends sometimes get in the way of perceiving clearly.Carol is the author of two Substack newsletters – one about politics, which looks at the problem of authoritarian “post-liberal progressivism”, and the other about yoga and related practices, sharing “inspiration for resilience, growth and renewal.”If you'd like to discuss how yoga relates to worldly life, I'm running a retreat at the end of the month that explores this in depth – you can find out more here.

Carol Horton, PhD is a writer, educator and activist. She works at the intersection of mindful yoga, social science, and social justice. Carol serves as Vice President of the Yoga Service Council and was a co-founder of Chicago's Socially Engaged Yoga Network. In her desire to make yoga accessible to all she has taught yoga in underprivileged areas such as Chicago's Cook County Jail, a drop-in centre for homeless women, a residential foster care facility, and a community health centre. Shannon asked Carol Horton to be a guest on The Connected Yoga Teacher Podcast after reading Carol's thoughtful blog post called Yoga: Beyond the BS. Carol discusses the negativity surrounding yoga, especially in social media. She brings up the shadow side of yoga, such as the commercialization and commodification of yoga, with the intention of being critical in a balanced fashion. It is her wish that yoga teachers employ honesty and discernment as they navigate the yoga world. From Carol's first yoga class in a church basement to her profound healing and spiritual experiences while practising, it is clear yoga has meant a lot to her. Carol doesn't believe that yoga culture needs to be taken down with critique but rather respectful discussions in conjunction with work so there is power behind the discourse. Carol believes in supporting and nurturing the good and calling out the bad so we don't lose the teachers that can make profound changes in the lives of others. 2:20 Shannon's thoughts on the negativity in the yoga world and connecting with Carol Horton's blog post Yoga: Beyond the BS 7:25 How Carol got started in yoga and how it evolved into her current work 11:55 Difficult childbirth was a profound experience in Carol's life that shifted her perspective on yoga and saw the importance of trauma-informed yoga 15:00 Lying in savasana and slipping into a “spark of consciousness” 19:30 What led Carol to write the blog post Yoga: Beyond the BS 26:10 Problematic aspects of online discussions, social media as a culturally powerful medium and online bullies 30:25 When Carol thought about walking away from yoga and why she didn't 35:00 The positive and negative response to Carol's blog post 38:50 Is there a place yoga teachers can go to for fruitful discussions? 41:30 Carol's editing work for the book: “Best Practices for Yoga in the Criminal Justice System” 43:40 Carol's desire to see healthcare (including yoga) accessible to all; working with those in homeless shelters, foster homes, prisons and more to help those who've experienced trauma to heal 52:10 How to contact Carol 53:50 Shannon's final thoughts Links Carol Horton's Website Blog Post: Yoga: Beyond the BS Book: Best Practices for Yoga in the Criminal Justice System Editor: Carol Horton PhD The Yoga Service Council Forrest Yoga Website Embodied Philosophy Podcast The Connected Teacher Facebook Group Follow The Connected Teacher on Youtube Book a Consultation Call with Shannon 5-Day Content Creation Challenge Define Your Yoga Niche Online Course Yoga for Pelvic Health Teacher Training Mama Nurture Teacher Training (RPYT) Gratitude to our Sponsor Schedulicity

Today is January 20, 2017 - Inauguration day. And while part of me is relieved to be out of the country at the moment, another part of me is disappointed not to be there with you. This election has been like no other I've ever been a part. We are a country divided and that's scary. And so to process some of this, I turned to Dr. Carol Horton, a former political science professor turned and yoga teacher. Carol has a strong voice and she’s not afraid to use it. But she also has a wise voice, a voice of compassion and reason. I began this conversation with Carol feeling hopeless - and I came away feeling inspired and hopeful. Give a listen and remember, we are all in this together. The Ashtanga Dispatch Podcast is edited and produced by Chris Lucas and hosted by me, Peg Mulqueen.
It’s not always easy to make sense of what is happening in the broader yoga world and society at large, but Carol Horton can sometimes help illuminate and clarify the issues so we might stand a chance. J talks with Carol about her transition from political science professor to yoga writer and thinker, her work in the Cook County Jails, the heyday of the yoga blogosphere, the books she’s published, the pioneering work of the Yoga Service Council, and the current political atmosphere.
