Join me for a fun conversation about yoga history and philosophy – plus many other topics of contemporary interest, from gender imbalances to misappropriation… The Q&A was hosted by Radiant Spirit Yoga as part of their 300-hour teacher training, and they kindly agreed to me sharing the recording. It’s great to have the chance to exchange ideas in an open forum. I hope it might inspire others to include something similar in courses and trainings! Thanks to the all the participants – particularly Pam Wilson and Melissa Cohn of Radiant Spirit.

In October, I'll be teaching yoga history and philosophy on a teacher training course in London. There'll be 15 hours of classes over two days (22 / 23 October), exploring what we know about the evolution of practice from the distant past to the present day. This essay gives a brief introduction to what to expect. The photo shows Jim Mallinson, with whom I've been studying at SOAS as part of my MA in Traditions of Yoga and Meditation.
