Podcasts about yoga talks

This week's episode features an archival conversation from about four years ago during the pandemic with J. Brown, host of the Yoga Talks podcast. J. Brown has been practicing yoga for over 25 years and is widely known as a writer and industry-leading podcaster. His signature offering is a deeply breath-centered, therapeutic yoga practice inspired by the TKV Desikachar tradition, aimed at fostering well-being and reducing pain. J. Brown's journey into yoga began as a way to process his mother's death, seeking freedom from the grief and disillusionment that accompanied it. Starting with Ashtanga and Iyengar styles, J. eventually found his way to a therapeutic approach through the teachings of Swami P. Saraswati and the Krishnamacharya tradition. He teaches that yoga is not a linear progression but a practice of learning how to care for oneself. In this conversation, we explore the evolving dynamics of yoga practice and the teacher-student relationship. The discussion covers themes such as balancing devotion and discernment, the challenges of navigating modern spirituality, and common misconceptions about awakening. It highlights the importance of aligning one's practice, goals, and philosophical view to bring clarity to the spiritual path, offering valuable insights into the role of teachers and the transformative power of yoga.Discover a treasure trove of guided meditations, teachings, and courses at tantrailluminated.org.

What does it take to keep a podcast going, year after year? J. Brown has been hosting Yoga Talks since 2015, so I thought I'd inquire! As J. admits, he likes stirring things up. His blog bills him as: “outspoken and sometimes controversial", and notes that his approach "has sparked broad discussions". This one is no less wide-ranging. Among other topics, we talk about:* The backlash to some of his episodes, and how he handles criticism* A shift away from polarisation to more harmonious forms of dialogue* What inspires his choice of guests, and his approach to yoga generally* Why he rejected his parents' religion, and found solace in practices* How he reconciles resistance to authority with embrace of a deitySeparately, there's still time to join me for my online course on the Yoga Sūtra “beyond eight limbs” – you can do that here.Ancient Futures is free, but takes time to produce – donations are greatly appreciated!

We caught up with J Brown, podcast creator, and host of Yoga Talks for the last seven years. With tears shed all around, J shared with us the story of how he lost his mum as a very young man. It's a heart rending story. And, for all of us when our heart rends it is an opportunity for healing. To heal is a blessing. We just don't often do it. I think for most of us when we are slapped in the face we take the wound, and we smoulder and burn. We thicken and take long stares. Our guest today chose to heal, and he is more beautiful for it. We explored his roots today and heard how the loss of his mother as a teenager was an important event that recalibrated the entire trajectory of his life. J. Brown talked to us about his early life as a professional actor, dancer, and musician; yet ultimately, yoga was the discipline where his heart took root. Where he saw real truth which required no audience. The whole world is the audience for when you shine like he does. The whole world is his stage. His podcast is certainly out there in the world. And, he has been burned a few times. So we asked for his council as we haven't been hurt like that. We also looked at how his philosophy of teaching yoga has evolved over the years from one that was highly centered around strong and advanced Vinyasa style classes with a kick-ass play list, filled with loads of handstands and tricks, to one that embodied his lessons learned from a Swami he met during his first and only trip to India: “Slower is Stronger.” For more than twenty-five years, J. Brown has been developing techniques to teach people how to practice yoga in a deeper and more fulfilling way. Enjoy this episode!

Yoga is so vast and deep. It can be a challenge to focus in on your experience and what you want out of your practice. What are all these down dogs for anyway? When you decide what you want out of your yoga practice, your yoga practice changes to bring you exactly what you desire. Life expands accordingly. Tara shares her personal journey from diving into the yoga world first without goals beyond the excitement of the practice. When she started to learn that you can use your practice to affect positive change in your life, everything opened up. This isn't a complicated aspect of the yoga practice, but it can be elusive and confusing how to get what you want out of your yoga. It's ok to have great goals and achieve them and your yoga practice is here to help, whenever you are ready. We hear from Viv in the UK about her brave year of new projects and YES!This episode ends with a centering meditation focused on goals.The goal here is to simply, help you feel better. When we feel better, we do better and everything is better. Our wellbeing is connected.

Scott talks to yoga teacher, writer and renowned podcast host J.Brown  ________ We'd like to invite you to join our growing monthly Stillpoint Yoga community. We teach in-person in London Bridge and live stream online Ashtanga Yoga assisted self practice and guided classes, with weekly yoga clinics and philosophy sessions guided by Scott Johnson and the Stillpoint teaching faculty. We also have a growing library of on-demand content. It's a beautiful way to navigate these times… Also, consider joining our Patreon community. We share these podcasts every 2 weeks and would love your feedback, input and support. You can even join a monthly live call to share your thoughts.  _________ J.Brown has been practising yoga for nearly thirty years, and teaching for almost twenty. In that time he taught at studios in New York, managed his own studio, and has been an early adopter of teaching yoga online. His ‘Yoga Talks' is one of the most widely listened to yoga podcasts - you can listen to his episode with Scott Johnson here.   J came to yoga after his mum died at a young age. Yoga made him feel better, even in moments when he thought feeling better wasn't possible. Yoga helped J. to process his grief, and over time his practise evolved from a physically intense asana practise to something more gentle. J. went on to develop his own personal teaching style of ‘gentle is the new advanced'.  In this wide-ranging conversation, J. shares about the challenges of establishing himself as a ‘gentle' yoga teacher when power yoga was at its peak.  J. talks about how his podcast developed, as well as the push-back he has received as a result of his decision to publish certain podcast episodes. Throughout the conversation, J. keeps coming back to how yoga is a practise of praise. Where once he might have distanced himself from it, now he embraces his spirituality and the mystical wonder of life.  You can find out more about J.'s work here.   ‘J hosts one of the leading yoga podcasts of the past five years and has spoken to hundreds of people. He was also a great help in setting the Stillpoints Podcast up. In speaking to J I wanted to get underneath what is meaningful for him. This conversation is at one point informative and another so tender. I so appreciated J allowing me to go on a journey with him...'
